Making Chimichangas Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Quote Another came when he missed an open receiver and put it right on the numbers of an opposing safety. Boy, did we see way too much of THAT in 2017... I wish Tanner Lee all the best--but ANY team that would draft this guy would be completely wasting a draft pick. Quote Link to comment

Honestly, watching Tanner yesterday confirmed what a lot of folks thought. Last season was a complete disaster. I personally blamed a lot on the OL, but after yesterday, I feel confident that it was a complete staff/scheme/culture/square peg round hole etc....... So looking forward to a coach and staff moving forward with this team in a unified vision and a definitive culture and scheme. Quote Link to comment
84HuskerLaw Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 His only chance to get an NFL shot was IF he stayed in Lincoln another year and demonstrated much more than what he did last year. Obviously, he wasn't good last year and will NOT be drafted. There are only a a select few QB spots open each year and you need to be one of the top 5 QBs nationwide. He WAS NOT even top 5 in the Big Ten. Anyone know if he withdraws from the NFL draft if he can opt to stay in school in Lincoln? Assuming Frost would let him as a walk-on? He might well have a chance to be a coach somewhere as a career future. High school or something? Whoever advised him to go pro was a fool or idiot. Quote Link to comment

I'm not even sure if Riley was hired to be a coach or a gentle figure head. It's nice to sped money on assistants but they are not the coach and I think ours were expected to. They needed a leader too. I feel some guilt for the assistants and players. They deserved so much better. Quote Link to comment
Old Nebraska Guy Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 (edited) "....can he return to school and football?" It depends on whether Lee has hired an agent. Also, some of these All Star games pay the players. Don't remember which ones. Both cases would end your college eligibility. Edited January 28, 2018 by Old Nebraska Guy Quote Link to comment

Maybe, but when he declared for the draft I don't think there was a lot of others going so maybe he thought the QB pool would be small? Do you see him getting better if he had another year? I think he's pretty much set in his ability and injury/coaching change/potentially few other QB's in the draft might have been the smart way to go. Quote Link to comment

At the very least he will sign undrafted. You guys completely underestimate the QB situation in the NFL. 2 Quote Link to comment

Last year alone there were 10 QBs drafted. The year before? 15. Lee absolutely made the right move going pro this year, he's going to get drafted in one of the later rounds more likely than not and he'll be able to make a few bucks along the way. Him staying in Lincoln this year would've been a total waste of time for him professionally. http://www.nfl.com/draft/history/fulldraft?type=position Edited January 28, 2018 by Xmas32 3 Quote Link to comment
Moiraine Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 (edited) I wouldn't have been shocked to see Martinez, Vedral, POB and Gebbia all being on front of him on the depth chart next season. Best case scenario I think he would've been 3rd string. Entering the draft was pretty obviously the best choice. I don't think he'll make a living playing football but I'd definitely try if I was in his position. Edited January 28, 2018 by Moiraine 2 Quote Link to comment
The Dude Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 The worst is over. He'll be throwing in basketball shorts to uncovered receivers until the draft. He can apparently outplay anyone in that environment. His stock will only rise from here. 5 Quote Link to comment

Once you declare for the NFL, you are done in college. Quote Link to comment

Even considering that Lee had more attempts than Armstrong, it's still pretty crazy. In a Riley offense, which quarterback would you rather have? Armstrong couldn't throw a lick, but could scramble. Lee had a Herculean arm, but couldn't scramble and had a knack for throwing to the other team, although a certain number (small) were truly not his fault. Both had a crappy o-line. Both appear to be nice, hardworking kids. Given the offensive line, I'd definitely take Armstrong but I'm not sure anyone QB would have consistently thrived. 1 Quote Link to comment
