You're still mad that Brion Carnes didn't start over Taylor???Ronnie never got called on until injury at the position so with Bo the genius that he was running things pretty sure Ron never got the playing time he probably deserved. T Mart was definitely not what I would I call a leader by any stretch of the imagination either that's for sure.
Cause Bo knows football.......You're still mad that Brion Carnes didn't start over Taylor???Ronnie never got called on until injury at the position so with Bo the genius that he was running things pretty sure Ron never got the playing time he probably deserved.

Let it Bo....
Another weird way to read this.So the losses with Taylor at QB including the thrashing at Wisconsin proved Taylor Martinez deserved more playing time?!!?!! Kind of hard for a QB to develop chemistry and rhythm also when you come off the bench in the middle of the season like Ron did.That's an odd way to remember the 2013 season.Ronnie never got called on until injury at the position so with Bo the genius that he was running things pretty sure Ron never got the playing time he probably deserved. T Mart was definitely not what I would I call a leader by any stretch of the imagination either that's for sure.
It was clear to most folks that the coaching staff considered Armstrong too green and Kellogg too limited to anoint as undisputed starter when Martinez went down. So both perfectly healthy quarterbacks were alternated by series or by quarter for several games, to fairly good results initially. When it became apparent that Armstrong's passing skills weren't that much worse than Kellogg's, and his elusiveness was far superior, Armstrong largely took over the job. When Armstrong was out for the Iowa game, the offense was 100% Ron Kellogg's. At home. On Senior Day. As the hero of the Northwestern miracle. At which point Ron Kellogg III proved why he didn't deserve more playing time.
Let it Bo.
Pretty sure a lot of successful athletes would completely disagree with this notion. Scott Frost was mentioned just a few posts ago. There's just one example of a Nebraska QB who definitely got better the more reps he got. Not everyone is Cardale Jones. Most athletes need more reps to get better. To become more comfortable with what they're asked to do and as far as quarterbacks to develop timing and chemistry and to develop just plain ol' experience among other things. Some guys (Steve Taylor, Tommie Frazier, Turner Gill) can step right in and hit the ground running. Others definitely need time to develop and just because they do doesn't mean their not capable of becoming good or even great players.Another weird way to read this.So the losses with Taylor at QB including the thrashing at Wisconsin proved Taylor Martinez deserved more playing time?!!?!!

I thought the question was whether Ron Kellogg deserved more playing time. Both Kellogg and Armstrong had to come cold off the bench. For that matter, Taylor Martinez was asked to start the 2010 season with zero game experience and an experienced senior on the bench. Cardale Jones came in cold, too. Leaders can't wait to get the ball.
Ron Kellogg III never looked like that guy to me. Iowa had everything stacked in his favor. Kellogg responded weakly in every facet.
No amount of reps would have changed it.
I'm willing to blame Bo for a lot, but not playing Ron Kellog III more doesn't make the list.
Not sure about QBs specifically because it may take some time to work with them - or any individual player - but I also find it interesting if not laughable at how many blame the short-comings of the last few years totally on the coaches and insist that we have upgraded every single coaching position in addition to the support staff yet are predicting fewer wins against basically the same schedule.
Let me spell it out. Bo never recruited a QB who could throw. We don't have a QB now who is accurate enough for this current staff. Riley has yet to recruit one. So my original comment stands. Bo, by virtue of not recruiting a QB who can throw accurately enough for Riley, has left it bare. Martinez has no bearing on on TA nor TA on Darlington. Bo failed to recruit and develop QB's. If he had, TA in year 3 should be better than a 52% passer.......
Yes, we had close games, some wins, some losses. We could have been 7-5 (losses to McNeese, Iowa), but could have also been 12-1 (Wins against USC, Minnesota, and MSU). It's basically the whole BP era in a nutshell.
Yes! 1000 times YES!
Oh I think 100% of successful athletes would say reps make you better.Pretty sure a lot of successful athletes would completely disagree with this notion.
