Just curious to know if there are any actual serious discussions or comments by somebody with reasonably reliable football judgement that has taken the time to watch some Husker practices and therefore has actually watched Lee in action recently? I would think he has been there long enough that someone knows something to hang our hats on about him. POB as well. Gee whiz - both have been practicing for a year or so now ? That should be a bunch of passing and snaps. We should now know 1. if they know the offense and 2. if they can execute it and 3. if they can throw good balls to receivers who can catch them fairly frequently?
At this point it seems a big mystery as to which, if any, of our future QBs have the ability to lead our team to about 9 wins. While I am hopeful they complete about 80% of all their throws and never throw an interception throughout their Husker careers, I am frankly more interested in the most important QB statistic of all - won/loss record as a starter.
It seems like the general consensus from the writers who have seen practice is that Lee looks the part, and will probably start. But it wouldn't be the first time where a new guy on the scout teams get hyped up wayyyyyy too much and ends up not living up to it. I realize Lee is under different circumstances than almost all scout teamers, but at the same time we haven't heard great things about POB. No bad things, but to me it seems like fairly generic answers from people. If I were to guess just based off of the tone from the writers who have seen the two practice, Lee seems to be a little ways ahead. Sam from the OWH evaluates players pretty well imo, and I think he pretty much had the same sentiment.
I just feel like it's hard to trust the hype from behind closed doors. I'm hopeful that whoever starts will add a more reliable throwing threat.
