Gerry to Play in Senior Bowl

[Mavric]

But so many posters on here said he wouldn't be good enough for the NFL?!?! I don't know what to believe anymore!!

Can you show 1 single example of this?

Did people actually say that? He's easily a top 3 safety in this draft.

There is quite the range of opinions in this thread.

That would be the thread I was looking for, thanks Mav

I was pretty annoyed at him for being an idiot so I may have said something *like* that.

 

[The Dude]

I would have said that if he didn't learn how to tackle his Senior hear.

 

[Mavric]

I mean ... he was our leading tackler his Junior year so he had to be doing a few things right.

Tackled well his sophomore year as well, highest total of his career

Ehhhhh no he's not. He's more of a top 15 safety in the draft...

I am sure I was critical of him in this thread. As good of a career he did have, I still feel he was inconsistent while tackling....even though he was the leading tackler. His angles and perceived lack of effort at times was frustrating.

I think he did well for the Huskers and I hope he does get drafted! If he can get into the right situation and proper coaching he has the athletic ability to make it!

I said at the beginning of the year, he was right at the stats of last years AA safeties. Not too far off this years either. Rated high by Pro Football focus and got some accolades post season. Dude is a beast. Has the physical tools. So much depends on where you go. Ask Chris Hogan..............

He did two things wrong...

1. He was on scholarship

2. He wasn't Jano

 

[The Dude]

Jano leading the way for Gerry would have been one hell of a backfield. Riley had our best runningback playing defense. Sad!

Sorry, but I view this guy as a disapppointment. Creating dissent last year by not "buying in" and not going to class this year and letting his team down.

I think the whole "buying in" thing was overblown in 2015, but that's just me.
Gerry's INT's against Wisconsin enabled NU to take that game to OT, and he played well the rest of the season. Yes, him not going to class all season is very dumb, but he's only one player on a team of over 100 players.

All it takes is one bad apple to spoil the entire barrel.

Is that saying actually true? Like, if you have one spoiled apple are the other ones now bad too?

The saying is true. One bad apple can and will spoil all the rest if left in the barrel.

*Edit* You can save the barrel, or most of it, by removing the bad one(s) in time. However, left alone, that one bad apple WILL spoil all the rest.
