All Time Team - voted on by the people

[Pedro Guerrero]

Since it is the offseason and that is usually a slow time until Springball here is what is going to happen. We are going to compile an All Time NU Team as voted on by the great folks here at Huskerboard. I will run 2 polls per week with some choices of the top of my head plus the other option encase I may forget someone. There will be a total of 25 polls over the next 13 weeks which if I'm not mistaken may take us right to the Spring Game. Vote once (if you write in more then 1 I will only count the first) and the polls will close every Sunday night or Monday when I wake up for work. Once the process is over I will post the HUSKERBOARD All Time Team and maybe if I could ever figure out how to do pictures I would post it that way. There will be two polls for the following: OT, OG, WR, DE, DT, OLB, CB, S and they will be on seperate weeks with the winner of the first not appearing on the second ( I know common sense). Anyway that pretty much sums it up.

And here we go:

Let's start with QB

 

[trouble]

Overall best QB?

Frazier IMO.

 

[HuskerTrucker]

Old School: Jerry Tagge

Modern Day: Tommie Frazier

Special Mention: Tuner Gill

I voted for Tagge...he was a man's man.

This one is hands down Frazier. No doubt about it.

I got Tommie 1st 'cuz of the NCs. Otherwise might easily have gone with Turner.

I guess this is a poll on our favorite Husker QB and not the All - Time best. Frazier was ridiculously good no doubt, but in terms of overall skill I don't think you could necessarily give it to him. He could throw the ball, but we all know he was no pocket passer. The best thing about Frazier was his running ability and his ability to keep plays alive.

I think in overall terms of "All-Time" QB, you have to vote Tagge because of his ability to run but also throw the ball.

 

[hosker]

wow, Tommie running away with it

i went with him because of the NCs, and the Hypesman he was cheated outa.... oh, and he QB'd for the greatest team EVER!!!

Watching the Skes for over 30 years I have seen some great QB's go through Lincoln. I have to chose Tommy just because of all the intangibles he brought to the table.

I agree. The whole team played better when Tommie was on the field. He was such a fierce competitor. I have Frazier ranked as the best college QB of All-Time (as opposed to just out of NU QB's).

 

[I am I]

I voted Tagge. My dad was a freshman TE when he was a senior and said he was the best. He also caught passes from Ferragamo and was a coach during Gill's years. So we've had a lot of disscussion about this. Frazier won the NCs and shoulda won the hypesman, but he was 1.5 dimensional. Tagge could do it all, and even had a pro career.

I don’t know about that. Zac Taylor is my all time favorite but I still think Tommie is the best ever. Heck I think he is the best college football player ever.

 

[Apathy]

I voted for other..............BROOK BERRINGER!!!!!

I'm surprised that Brook Berringer didn't make this list....I know you have other as an option but still, without Brook Berringer we could just simply kiss those two National Championships away. With Tommie Frazier out in 94' due to an injury Brook stepped up and won 7 consecutive games to help us earn a stop in the Orange Bowl.

My Vote goes for BROOK BERRINGER
