We gotta earn it back, but being a brand name still matters and despite claims of media bias, Nebraska's proud tradition is the lead in every story. Some people will tell you it doesn't matter. I think it's one of the few reasons we haven't fallen off the cliff, and we should be very thankful for it. 1 Quote Link to comment

Coaches getting paid 5 mil a year in an industry with insanely high turnover, usually don’t purposely put out their worst players just because they are holding a grudge. I hope it was communicated to McQuitty, because there is 100% a reason he wasn’t playing, and it wasn’t because Frost didn’t like him. 3 2 Quote Link to comment

I think it's pretty typical for a player who feels like they are just as good or better than others to be upset when they're not playing. With McQuitty, he probably was more athletic then some of the other wideouts, but if he wasn't working as hard in practice or didnt have as good a grasp of the playbook as others (total speculation, I have nothing to believe that is the case) then of course the coaches arent going to play him. Especially when they are trying to change the culture. This honestly sounds like sour grapes to me 3 Quote Link to comment

I say he’s has a five year cushion in which he can be as punitive as he wishes. Particularly with players that aren’t his recruits. Gotta get the culture right. 1 Quote Link to comment
flatwaterfan Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Got to block besides catch&run. I was real disappointed in our blocking on screens and downfield. I think they missed Warner as a guy who would block. I think that's part of the reason that Hickman is moving out to a z spot. I expect to see a big difference with last year because of the newly recruited size and the fact that they will be able to fit players in their nature roles better than last year. Last year there was too much of a log jam at slot and our Z guys just working blocking well enough. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

A player who he's since dismissed from the team because he didn't uphold what was asked of him. You think that any "better" player that was benched wasn't given multiple chances to do what the coaches asked and failed to do it? Frost also immediately dismissed two of his recruits based on serious allegations before the 2019 season. McQuitty had 6 games in 2018 to prove he was a player and 5 of those he lined up at receiver without a catch. In 2019, he only had 2 catches for 14 yards early in the season before he was likely benched. Seems like he had the opportunity. 1 Quote Link to comment

I guarantee the two players were treated the same, thus the culture is being formed. Some seem to think because two completely separate situations are handled differently means players aren’t treated equally. The kid you’re trying to tear down has and is holding up his end of the bargain, legally. Both kids you are referring to here are both off the team, one was essentially kicked off the team and the other was granted a medical scholarship. Seems like the one you are defending had the best opportunity given their situations. Quote Link to comment
