He threw several bullets on target that were plain dropped. It should be like Sims - 8 passes, 7 catchable, 1 misfire. Haarberg - 6 passes, 4 catchable, 2 misfire. * numbers may not be accuarate. 6 Quote Link to comment

There are times I agree with this but... Haarberg didn't look good after his one nice run. Looked uncomfortable and indecisive Quote Link to comment

Looked uncomfortable and indecisive This is exactly what the staff needed to see. It's one thing to zip the ball when 25 people watching and no helmet on. Today was a different deal. And the Staff will have material points for every player to improve on over the next four months. If each does not, next man up. Quote Link to comment
Huskerfollower4life Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 With Jeff Sims clearly being the number one qb during the spring and him having a good spring game does that change anyone's perspective that he will be the starter against Minnesota? For me I still think that it's Casey Thompson job to lose but I could be wrong. I know the spring game there isn't much stock into it but would you say it helped Jeff Sims case to be the starter?

admo Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 Both of them are valuable. Depends on whatever Rhule wants out of his offense (and what Satterfield can do with each QB). We are very lucky to have them both. They are talented. IMHO, as the year starts to develop, if we don't see points by the starter, the next guy will come in to change it up. I also think there is room for both QBs to make plays. Meaning, you will have a starter but the other QB gets 8-10 snaps in same game. And depending on the type of game, one will lead the way - even if he doesn't start. I wouldn't count out CT's ability to air it out in a quick short passing game or downfield. I like Sims too. He is more physical for sure. It will come down to who can put points on the scoreboard to be honest (between the both of them). Int's are part of the game. Fumbles are not. 2 Quote Link to comment
ColoradoHusk Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 Thompson still has another transfer available, but I would be surprised if he does leave over the summer. Regarding the Minnesota game, I think the starter will depend on what type of offense better suits NU for that game. If Satt and Rhule want to go with a run-heavy offense, I think it will be Sims as the starter. If Satt is confident that they won’t need the QB run game as much, and likes what Thompson provides in the passing game, it will probably by CT. If both are still here in the fall, I do expect both to start and get meaningful snaps. This would be due to injury, ineffectiveness, or just trying a new strategy on offense. Quote Link to comment
suh_fan93 Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 Sims can zip it but overall he's 13 touchdowns to 13 interception for his career. Can someone turn a new leaf in a new situation sure. CT went 17-10 last season and I factor in doing so while playing injured. Interesting to see how Sims will respond to our OL woes which let's be honest don't look like they're going away anytime soon. His quick release definitely helps. CT is already well familiar with our OL. Quote Link to comment

I think Sims’ size may help him sustain more hits throughout the season if the OL is going to give up a lot of pressure, but he won’t be able to last forever. Also, if the coaches want/need to utilize the QB run game to help the overall run game, then that is another item where that suits Sims. Quote Link to comment
Ratt Mhule Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 I get the feeling Rhule is grooming Casey to be a coach here. Casey’s work ethic when it comes to watching film and studying plays plus him standing next to Rhule with a headset on, I just get that feeling. He wasnt even sure he wanted to play another year, so I dont think he will transfer especially of he has a job waiting for him next year. 1 Quote Link to comment
Gorillahawk Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 With as poor as the oline play has been I think we’ll see both start out of necessity, but I’d bet Sims start because we can’t line up and run at people effectively with just our Rbs. The Qb run game will have to be a factor the defense prepares for. I wouldn’t be surprised if CT start’s because I think he’s a better true Quarterback, but the oline is so terrible he’ll be running for his life and since Sims is more athletic I see him getting the nod week 1 against Minnesota 1 Quote Link to comment
