Thought he played for KC for a minute Either way, the disparity is there. And if you think a bunch more players that were on the team now when Pelini got fired are going to make the NFL, I got bad news for you. Quote Link to comment

Not saying they didn't make a roster, just didn't play in a game The lists are bogus. And they don't take into account the fact that a lot of those guys would never have sniffed the NFL if Callahan had stuck around and taken them to more losing seasons. Quote Link to comment
Nebfanatic Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Pelini inherited a more talented team plain and simple. The guys Riley is bringing in (Fr. RSFr. & SO.) are out playing their upperclassmen counterparts all over the field. That tells you all you need to know. 2 Quote Link to comment

Here's a partial list off the top of my head of possible NFL players that you left off from the 2015 team: Stoltenberg Gifford Brown Jones Pierson-El Kalu Weber Morgan Lee Foster Farmer Akinmoladun Gates But yeah, stick up for the washed out .500 coach while throwing the players under the bus. 4 minutes ago, Nebfanatic said: Pelini inherited a more talented team plain and simple.

LOL. You think that tells you more than scoreboard? It tells me that the team Riley inherited wasn't that talented and not as talented as what Pelini stepped into. If we would have hired Riley when we hired Pelini Riley would have done as good if not better than Pelini imo. Quote Link to comment

Ideally there's more depth and more seniority, but there's not. well had we NOT fired Pellini, and basically had him on the hot seat the year before maybe there would be more depth now 1 hour ago, Nebfanatic said: It tells me that the team Riley inherited wasn't that talented and not as talented as what Pelini stepped into.

This should tell you that it takes time to build up talent and depth to play Big 10 football to compete. Based off this past weeks list it's actually 10. What about competing in the Sun Belt or MAC?

You have lost your mind. If you mean Eric Lee, I just don't understand your though process. Foster-----I seriously doubt it at this point. Farmer------HaHa Akinmoladun--Nope Gates----No way in hell But yeah, stick up for the washed out .500 coach while throwing the players under the bus. LOL.

Smh Dude, the post you quoted literally said I am not a Riley apologist. Are you serious right now? Holy cow man. Saying they aren't going to play in the NFL makes me a player basher now. This place is being overrun by new member dips#!ttedness today. 1 Quote Link to comment

Playing for a losing program in college means absolutely zero when it comes to playing in the NFL. The NFL is a meritocracy. 2 Quote Link to comment
