Rate the Huskers' B1G QBs

1. Taylor Martinez - best rusher, best or second best passer even though he looked wildly goofy at times, first team all conference

2A. Tommy - pretty terrible overall as a passer but more heart than anyone and his teams won. Not nearly the turnover machine that most of his compatriots were or could be.

2B. Adrian - what could've been. he had by far the best raw talent combined across his arms and legs but was ultimately let down by a porous line, lack of skill depth around him and inept coaching. Battled through hell and a broken jaw and who knows what else and never once complained, but wasn't strong enough to get us over the hump all on his own either. 

4. Casey - overall pretty pedestrian but gets propped up by the luxury of having Trey deep down there somewhere

5. RKIII - set for life as a real estate agent or banker with hometown fame, and actually did a pretty admirable job being asked to be a game manager splitting snaps with a freshman tommy

6. Tanner - lol (but hey, he got drafted)

Not a thing wrong with this order.   Before TM got hurt, he might have been the fastest straight ahead QB I have witnessed.  Dude just flew.  And his game against OSU was phenomenal.  Heisman hype was real. YOLO (killing it w/the Beef) and AM were good as well.  Both tough as nails.  Remember TA getting knocked out as Ohio St and running back in after I thought he was paralyzed.  The bowl game win against  UGA was awesome.  AM might have been the best had he had any semblance of an OL and competent coaching.  Loved his success at KSU and the Stallions (hope he gets a shot at NFL).  The others were Nebraska QB's and I appreciate their time here.  RKIII gets more love for the Hail Mary to Westy.  I'd probably put him at 4 just for that.

I approve of this list.

 
Since it clearly says "Big Ten QB" here's some stats for comp.  Don't have enough time to include Armstrong yet.  Would love to see that.

These stats are B1G only.  

Adrian Martinez 31 games

34 passing TDs

27 rushing TDs

61 total TDs

25 interceptions

21 200 yard passing games

4 300 yard passing games

5 100 yard rushing games

Taylor Martinez 18 games

21 passing TDs

10 rushing TDs

31 total TDs

15 interceptions

4 200 yard passing games

2 300 yard passing games

5 100 yard rushing games

I did not find total fumbles and fumbles lost.

Also, Taylor played in the Big 12 during his first season.  In the B1G era, the Huskers only played 8 conf games per year when he was there (plus one CCG).  His senior season was cut very short and played only 1 Big Ten Game.

Just thought it was interesting
