runningblind Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 At this point, do anything. Try whatever. Just try. This is probably an effort in futility but we can at least give it some freaking effort. A man needs some hope to carry on logging into this board! 1 Quote Link to comment

I also am not saying I think Smothers is the answer. I am just saying I dont think it is fair to compare a senior to a freshman. The fact a freshman had similiar results to a senior says more about the senior than the freshman IMO. It was the best collection of talent and experience he ever had around him. I don't think Martinez necessarily peaked then, but the team as whole was stronger making Matinez's play look better. 1 Quote Link to comment

He may or may not be the guy, but outside of Ward, he is my pick if we are going to seriously go after a portal guy We have seriously went after portal QBs.. unfortunately we have nothing to offer them at the moment.. 1 Quote Link to comment

IIRC, USC's starter was a grad transfer who previously played QB before becoming a grad assistant on staff. USC had no QB so he was asked to play....Again, stick with our QB's. Until the OL gets up to speed, mobility will help us tremendously. It seems like we are now really reaching for some "quality" QB's. I would not be surprised if ours enter the portal. Looking at a guy like Brown, says the staff does not think our 2022 QB is on the roster. Quote Link to comment

If he doesn't have an offer, it's hard to get any idea where he would be on the board. Quote Link to comment
ActualCornHusker Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 I wonder if that means they missed out on Thompson. Not sure how much to read into that... Quote Link to comment

huskerfan99 Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Purdy does at least have some pedigree. He was the number 7 dual threat QB for his class on 247. Smothers was number 14 in the same class. 1 Quote Link to comment
