Whatever happened to...

I'm sorry, granted he is a better football player than I (not saying a whole lot,), but Jammall Lord could have been the worst starting D-1 QB in 02-03.

-HE was a ball hogging option QB when he had Cory Ross to pitch it to.

-He could not pass to save his life

--His losses to Kstate at home, Mizzou, Texas, and the entire 02 season were an absolute abortion.

- Arguably his best career play (touchdown pass against KSU in 03,) shouldn;t have counted, he was down.

-He did not care one iota about this program (witness interview post 03 KSU, or his actions with his alleged girlfriend abuse)

-The guy flat out sucked. He is a scout team NFL player only becuase he played for NU. You could even make the argument (and I would, happily) that Lord was a major factor is Solich getting fired

I don't know about worst in Div-1 (remember, that includes AA too) but I'm definately gonna agree with polo here. I couldn't stand Lord at all.

 
Lord goes 10-3 and is hated (Career 17-7)

Taylor goes 7-5 and is loved (needs 10 wins ti tie Lord)

Something tells me that if Nebraska doesn't win the Big 12 next year, Taylor will be hated too.

I'm not knocking Taylor. I just find it wierd that a Guy can go 10-3 and be considered the worse in the country, while another Guy can go 7-5 and be considered the next Golden Boy.

 
It's not about wins or losses, It's all about the attitude, leadership, and character of a person. Lord doesn't even come close to Taylor when comparing those categories.

Lord had no heart or leadership? Did you watch the Huskers when Jamaal was our QB? Maybe one of the best option QB's we've ever had; it wasn't his fault he didn't have a supporting cast. That guy was a warrior, he played his A$$ off and gave everything he possibly could to the team and the program. Just because he lost more games than the QB's before him was not his fault. He was a great QB for the system he was recruited for.

 
what i would like to see but will never happen is all black uni's with red numbers, red helmet with white "N" just once. or the all red that NU wore once I believe.

A couple of side notes about Lord. He had to change his phone number numerous times due to people calling and threatening him and his family. Would you want to stand up and defend a program with fans like that?

Also, with regards to his character, he moved his little brother from New Jersey to Lincoln and raised him here because its a better place for him to grow up. Don't question a man or his character based solely on what he does on the football field or what he says in interviews.

Keep in mind that these kids are 18-23 years old. Most kids that age are still living off mommy and daddy while guys like Lord have the balls to put themselves on a stage of the most intense scrutiny in the nation. We yell at them and question their character for not being able to throw a football the way we think it should be thrown? Its not like he was pulling down an astronomical paycheck or getting much more than an education in return.

I'd wager that several of us have quit jobs for less than what he went through.

 
I would go as far as saying those uniforms were worst then Oregon's

What was up with those pants they whore in the Holiday bowl. An experiment gone wrong?

True he has heart. Good option qb. The only problem was that we weren't running the option anymore. The guy had receivers running wide open all over the field and would pull it down and run for 2 to 3 yards.

He gave 100% at all times and I am in no way taking anything away from him. The guy did his very best. Unfortunately for Jamal he is perceived with the beginning of a long hard time for our team that we are still recovering from.

His fault ,NO WAY. Just a victim of a changing system.

 
Back to the talk of uniforms - I would love to see us go back to those of the 1970s with the shoulder stripes and even the gray facemasks. Why not do it this season? What a great way to honor our past!
