Crick is #3 next great star in CFB by Sporting News

"And remember this: Gabbert wasn't the only quarterback who struggled against Nebraska. Gabbert, Oklahoma's Landry Jones, Kansas' Todd Reesing, Texas' Colt McCoy and Arizona's Nick Foles combined to complete less than 50 percent of their passes and throw one touchdown pass and 11 interceptions against the Cornhuskers."

That right there is amazing.

I think Gabbert is alittle overrated. He is not even gonna be as good as Chase Daniels was. All these other QB's are average at best with McCoy being the exception. We should have had 11 picks against these guys and only allowed 1 pass TD.

Really? Wow. Those are all above average quarterbacks . . . and significantly better than any QB on Nebraska's roster last year.

Your right those QB's are better than Nebraska had last year. Mizzou won 9 games with their QB, KU won 5, OU won 8, AZ won 9 in a down and defenseless Pac-10. So yeah they really tore it up. Todd Reesing even got benched in a game. If landry doesnt throw 5 picks against us, they prob win. You cant say Landry is an above average QB right now, samething with Gabbert. Granted Landry and Gabbert were first year starters(as was Lee), But calling Gabbert the NEXT GREAT STAR is absolutely stupid. If he is calling Gabbert the next great thing, then he might as well say Zac Lee is gonna win heisman.

Um.. they won their respective games and lost their respective games because of many factors, QB one of them. We won 10, more than Mizzou or OU or KU or AZ, but I would love to hear you argue that our QB did better than any of theirs did. If we had had any of those offenses, or even just the QB, that could have been a different season for us. If you're just comparing their QB play to ours, all of them win no contest. We won more games because of our defense, not because our QBs were better.

Yeah. It's clear that huskerscott has no idea what he is talking about. It takes more than a quarterback to win games. McCoy/Jones/Gabbert/Foles/Reesing >>>>>> Lee/Green/Washington (last year)

This is what Im saying.......

I know Nebraska QB play was BELOW AVERAGE last year. Calling Gabbert next great Super Star is premature. He is doing nothing more or better than Daniels did during his time. McCoy was the only exception... Jones, Foles, Reesing, are/were average QB's last year. Reesing was the only one that I felt carried his team. Partly because they had no defense. Here are the efficiency stats to back it up..... http://web1.ncaa.org/mfb/natlRank.jsp?year=2009&rpt=IA_playerpasseff&site=org&div=IA&dest=O

FWIW Foles ranked BEHIND Zac Lee, Reesing and Jones werent that far ahead either.

How do you think Zac Lee's stats would fare if he had to play the Blackshirts? Keep in mind that each of the quarterbacks listed suffer at least partly because they played against the best defense in the country.

I'd trade Lee for any of the above. Sorry ZL.

Better yet how would Zac Lee fare against the Pac-10.

I do agree with you I rather those QBs than Lee.

My opinion on Blaine Gabbert––you don't have a defense, kiddo. Until Mizzou finds one, it's going to be the same as every other pass-happy, no-defense, chuck-the-rock, lose-to-Navy program in the country. The barrier between all teams and the BCS isn't a superstar quarterback. It's the 11 guys on the other side of the ball that keep the other team out of the end zone.

From the day Gabbert stepped onto the field in the college game everyone knew he was going to be NFL bound. He has the size, the arm, and the poise. What he can't learn from Pinkle's system he'll get later under an NFL QB coach. But last I checked football is still a team sport, so the 'watch out for Gabby' posers had best remember that when Missouri gets crushed by every team that can run the ball and defend the pass.

Oh, I agree. A quarterback does not a team make. That said, if any of the quarterbacks discussed were on Nebraska's roster . . . they would be starting.
