Tanner Lee

[southernoregonhusker]

I saw him a bunch of times in HS and twice at Tulane and was never impressed. He had nice size but not much else. At the time I never would've dreamed he'd end up at Nebraska -- just didn't think he was at that level. But, everyone tells me I'm just being a Debbie Downer and I read the article above that talks about all his supposed intangibles so I guess we'll see. If you're expecting something special though, you're in for a disappointment.

You're not a Debbie Downer. He went to Tulane for a reason. He wasn't very good. Now that he's at Nebraska, many fans want to believe he's the best thing since sliced bread. Then when the time comes, he won't be the savior many hoped and this board will go into meltdown mode because of unrealistic expectations. Lather, rinse, repeat.

Geez Louise, guys, possible starting QB at Nebraska in '17, can we stop tearing him down already?

He's more likely than just possible, they have to get a head start on hatin! Begin preperation for "Should we burn Gebbia's RS" talk.

I don't think he'll be the second coming of Russell Wilson or anything, but Zac Taylor, I would take that.

 

Play smart, play tough, run the full offense, and go win games. Possessing the basic skillset doesn't necessarily translate onto the field always, but it's a real good place to start.

Ugh. If there is any resemblance to ZT and that offense, it's going to be a long next couple of years.

 

Barring injury, I fully expect Lee to take the first snap next year, but I'm not expecting the offense to be in the top half of the league.

what unrealistic expectations? Having proper mechanics and being able to complete 60% of your throws? Sounds super unrealistic to me

I understand from a source close to the situation that during this long redshirt period, the S&C people have had Tanner in the all new, one-of-a-kind 'speed' room. This is an unique new training/development process through the application of the "NUbionics" technology. With special 'speed' gear, they can now improve a player's speed metrics about 20% typically. For example, a QB like Lee came in to Nebraska running about 4.9 - 40 yard dash. But with our new leggings, he now boasts a personal best of 4.47 on a series of 10 reps in 10 minutes, demonstrating he has not only dramatically increased his speed and quickness but also his endurance. Sadly, thus far Tanner has suffered from major immunity rejection and blood clots tendency in the back of his knees and deep thigh bruises. Pain killing medications are being administered and so far no allergic or other negative responses. The technitions are now testing to determine Lee's ability to function at a high enough level mentally while under the continuous influence of medications to stave off the immune system issues and alleviate the pain. His tolerance is reported to be improving weekly. It is not yet clear if Tanner will be able to utilize both the speed leggings and the 'gunslinger' arm builders. If not, Riley and the staff will be faced with a real Hobson's choice come spring practice (runner or passer?). Time will tell.

if Tanner Lee can run a 4.47 that is incredible. He is faster than Ameer Abdullah in a 40 yard dash

Not sure if 84s post was in jest, but I'd be shocked if Lee reduced his 40 time by .4+ seconds in a year.

 

I guess if he was fat and dropped the bad weight I could see it, but not if he was in shape when he got here.

 

A legit 4.47 40 is really fast.

Kinda how I feel reading your posts tbh.

Gosh Zac Taylor, on some of the hits he took I had no idea how he got back up. Was definitely a tough S.O.B.

Certainly a factor that contributed to our lack of sacks was Tommy's mobility. To say that that was THE reason we were as good as we were, or to try and specifically document exactly how much of it was his legs vs other factors, is pretty silly.

Yeah, there's just no way to quantify the contribution of Tommy's mobility. Still: 8 sacks in 11 games with. 3 sacks in 1 game without.

Regardless, let's say the Maryland game was an accurate barometer of our line's real ability. That's still miles ahead of what Tanner was dealing with at Tulane. His line was like 2005 Nebraska, Zac Taylor getting smoked on every. single. pass. play. levels of bad.

I can't wait to see what Langs will do with a QB like Tanner Lee or POB. As for O-lines, I'll take your word that Tulane had crappy pass protection. I don't think I ever saw them play when Tanner was there. I think our O-line will be better next year. We were so young this year. Plus we have guys coming off redshirt that will help. Gates, Foster and Farmer are all back with time to get healthy again.

Do you honestly think this bunch if all healthy will really have success against the better D-lines in this league? I don't

Do you honestly not have anything to contribute to threads besides the whole "Do you honestly think the thing you just said?" bullsh#t?

 

Geez are you stalkin me! I will do my best to rephrase my queries lol

Nobody is stalking you. You are a huge debbie downer and he, and so am I, are tired of it. If that's the definition of "stalking," I need to check the dictionary apparently.

Yeah I highly doubt he actually runs that fast, that's why I brought up AA who doesn't have great top end speed but still has got to be faster than Tanner Lee is. That is NFL WR speed at the size he has. Not top end speed but definitely enough to get the job done

Houston that was an "inside" joke, but please feel free to put me on your ignore posts in settings.

for sure.

According to a nate gerry interview on 1620 Lee is tearing it up on scout team.

If he was that good the grumblings would be more then just Nathan Gerry. I'm not going to trust some beat writer either who could just be looking for click bait.

 

After Curt Dukes I refuse to put hope in somebody who's never seen the field at NU. :-) This is especially true when it comes to QB's.

 

Substitute "Wendell Wooten" for Curt Dukes as well... :-)
