He has plenty of head start on all the competition. Thompson may be ‘All that’ but we don’t know. Whipple will put the best operator on the field, not just the best athlete. Imo. News flash, Thompson is going to start in 2022, unless Chubba Purdy also transfers to NU and is able to beat him out. Nobody has any head start with Whipple, but Thompson's experience and QB skills give him the clear advantage going into 2022. 1 Quote Link to comment

Not sure if he was coached this or not but it was a big problem. Glad I'm not the only one who noticed 1 Quote Link to comment

Cdog923 Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 I, for one, look forward to our resident QB coaches telling how much he sucks over the next 8 months. (Honestly, great get. Kid's got the tools to succeed in Whipple's offense, and has 2 years too). 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment
gobiggergoredder Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Not sure how you can’t be excited about what’s been done in the last few months. Now we hope it works. Offense is going to have to score because the defense won’t be as strong. 1 Quote Link to comment

Alamo City Husker Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 I can't wait to tease all the Longhorns this year, that we stole their quarterback and they suck now!!! #HuskersCursePassedBackToTheLonghorns Quote Link to comment

News flash, if purdy comes here he will be the project for what nebraska wants to run. Thompson will be competing with logan to run this offense as it transitions.. 2 1 Quote Link to comment
huskered17 Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Smothers needs to stay. Not just because we need more experience at the QB position, but I still think he can maybe win the starting position. He looked good enough against Iowa, that with more practice time, who knows. I don't know if he will fit in with what Whipple, wants to install. I guess will find out. GBR!!! 1 Quote Link to comment

That’s like Mr. Ed hoping to outrace secretariat. 1 2 Quote Link to comment
JJ Husker Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 I’m a little distraught that some people seemingly can’t differentiate the obvious gap betweenThompson’s skills and experience vs the little bit we have actually seen of Smothers. Nothing against Logan but come on, Thompson is clearly the leader in that comparison. And it doesn’t matter if it’s Whipple’s or Frost’s or whoever’s offense. As of now CT is the one to beat out for the job. And if we also land Purdy, then Smothers clearly scoots on down the bench another place. It’s just what it is. 1 2 Quote Link to comment
