Howard is better than Martinez.

Pretty nice to have a QB backup with competency.  What's that like?

Have we had even a semi reliable backup since Ganz was a backup?  I really can't think of any since him and he should have been a starter.

Tommy Armstrong and Ron Kellogg behind Martinez. I still say they should've stuck with Smothers. Purdy was absolutely terrible. Smothers at least moved the ball a bit.

It’s weird how when you have an offensive line that 2 or even 3 QBs can be effective.

This absolutely baffles me. Especially because Purdy has not looked good in any of his playing time. My only thinking is Whip too close too him and his family and wants him to be the guy. It's like he's got blinders on.

Every year and virtually every Saturday, a back-up is asked to replace the starter and not only does the team not miss a beat, you realize the back-up is actually the better player. That's why the portal thrives with starting quarterbacks replaced by better backups. Tons of good high school QBs out there and every team should have at least two.

 

Chubba Purdy is another in a line of high school qbs who sell themselves as dual threats to a Nebraska system that promises to feature them, only to find out that these dual threat guys are actually zero threat guys. Holy s#!t he looked bad yesterday, and the offensive line was not to blame.

 

Agree that Smothers looks to be the better option at this point, but get ready for him to run for 8 yards, then run for 5 yards, then get snuffed out by a defensive adjustment, followed by an incomplete pass and a sack.

Sadly, do we have any reliable back ups at any position? Those positions we do would be the exception and not the rule.
