I've always thought the opposite. Keller was never really a West Coast-style QB. Keller would be a better QB for an offense that wanted to use more of a vertical passing game. That's kind of the opposite of what Billy C's offense was all about. I thought Ganz was better suited for the horizontal passing routes.
All you had to do was watch them throw the routes we ran. Keller threw to a spot, Ganz threw to the man. Did it consistently through the Spring and through fall camp. The WCO relies on timing patterns like slants and outs, and Ganzy wasn't hitting the spots like Keller.
Sort of what I thought too until the NW game last year when we were all told it was the other way around.Kain Colter is their starter, the only game all year he didn't start was against us last year. I think you meant Trevor Siemian, but I don't think there is another D1 school who runs two QB's like NW, but either way, +1 for finding a 2nd string who gets quality time, even though you named their starter
Thanks for the help with the edits.....I should have proof read it before sending but hey it's a message board..
How the hell are you hyping Ron Kellogg would be a starter over Taylor Martinez in a different system but suggesting that Cody Green couldn't perform.
I don't think melting down was the case for anyone in that game. There was a lot of things going wrong in that game that had nothing to do with what the Huskers were doing. I'm not much of a conspiracy man, but watching that game seriously made me wonder if there was really something going on. Every single time the huskers made a great play or was gaining momentum, a questionable flag appeared. Yet, the most penalized team in the league all of a sudden became extra disciplined and only left with 2 penalties.
+1
Are we reading the same thread? Maybe I missed it, but I haven't seen any shots at Martinez suggesting he is not good?
Maybe I am skimming it quickly but it seems like there are the old "T-Mart should not have been starting" type of thing, who knows.
Regardless, calmer heads have to prevail. Bo melted down. Ben Cotton melted down. The team melted down. Cody Green proceeded to sh#t his pants.
Not really. The argument is about the quality of backups we have behind Taylor. I don't think any Husker fan with a brain will try and argue that Taylor isn't the best option we have at QB.
#1- True, but Green COULDN'T perform and do what our starter could, so what is your point? Green collapsed every time he had the opportunity to shine. He had the opportunity to make up for his mistakes and couldn't, like Martinez was and has been able too.Thanks for the help with the edits.....I should have proof read it before sending but hey it's a message board..
Your Edits:
-I don't know why I put he red shirted that season. Brain fart on my end.....
-Green didn't fumble the ball any more than the starter did. Try again. #1
-Lee was NOT injured that entire season. He sat out one practice after the original report of his injury. He stated at the end of the season that he was fine by the time the next game came. If you are going to put "injured" next to his name then you should do the same for Green both years. He pulled a groin muscle in 2010 and 2009 he got dinged up in practice just before the start of conference play.#2
-I understand the Carnes situation. I'm not arguing that. But he was still on roster and on scholarship, which is all I was pointing out in this post
-I put Marsh at 5th string because it was obvious to most everyone around the program that if Martinez went down, that Armstrong's red shirt would be pulled and he was trusted to take over before Kellogg. That would make Marsh the 5th option. Then again, it would make him the 4th because Carnes was moved out to WR...#3
-Marsh....yea another brain fart....I was just typing and threw his name in there.
-Pretty premature on Stanton....really? What do you KNOW about Stanton that says he will do anything other than red shirt...He's coming off a season ending injury. He will arrive on campus just before fall camp, there will be 3 scholarship QBs on campus who have been in the playbook for at least a season. 2 of them are equally as good an athlete, 1 is a 3 year starter. Every conversation about next season at this point is "premature" in that case.
-RF & TB....are they scholarship QBs or walk ons........there were walk ons on the other seasons also, but I chose to focus on just the "scholarship" QBs as they are more likely to make the depth chart and see the field.
What is the difference of THIS YEAR from the previous years as far as the depth.......none of the current back ups have significant playing time if any, just a bunch of hype by media/coaches/fans for the most part yet you say that it is QUALITY dept but say we have no depth in the previous years when the situation was the EXACT SAME most years, except 2010 where you had 3 QBs whom all had at least 4 games of starting experience by the end of the season. Common sense tells me you didn't think that comment out before trying to use it suggest I have no common sense in my logic......
