And I find it foolish to judge any other QB's entire careers based on a chance they haven't been given....yet.

Who is doing that? :dunnoAnd I find it foolish to judge any other QB's entire careers based on a chance they haven't been given....yet.
Duh, Knappic. Stats don't matter. Since Taylor didn't single handedly win a MNC his first year, the backup QB is the answer.Bummer. I was all set to post a great article from ESPN about Taylor's passing ability, but I didn't realize until just before I hit POST that it was an Insider article.
Here's the link: Huskers Taylor-made for Big Ten
The Cliff's Notes version:
Statistical metrics from Taylor's final seven games (KSU, Texas, OSU, Missouri, A&M, Oklahoma & Washington) show that his ability to pass - which analysis shows is the best way to attack the Big 10 - is more than good enough to lead Nebraska into next season. Had all of Taylor's passes been caught (he had nine drops), he would have posted a 9.54 YPA average, which would have ranked him fourth nationally behind Cam Newton, Kellen Moore and Greg McElroy. They further break it down to show that Taylor was excellent on the short passes as well as vertical throws downfield. Further down the article they cite Kyler Reed as an example of why we can possibly take advantage of the Big 10's defenses.

Nah, I don't have an insider account. But I agree with your final sentence. Taylor could be really, really good. But it's all up to him (and actual QB coaching).Did you read that article? It could have been directly written to counter the posts of several folks here on HuskerBoard who have maintained that Taylor cannot pass, or get better. This article shows that he can do it, and he can get better.
Now he just has to go out and do it, and get better. Because if he doesn't continue to improve both in the fundamentals of the game and in the role of Leader, he's going to be riding the pine this year.
Interesting. Although I'm pretty sure both Beck and Pelini have both said we will be a run first team the first year in the B10.Bummer. I was all set to post a great article from ESPN about Taylor's passing ability, but I didn't realize until just before I hit POST that it was an Insider article.

Backups who have never played a single down of cfb is the obvious answer. If you don't believe that, just read this thread.
I agree, he had by FAR the best year for a Husker QB EVER and people arn't happy with him.2 kids that have never played a snap of division 1 football over a guy who set a number of freshman records at Nebraska, was a dark horse heisman contender before he got hurt?
I understand that Taylor's got a long ways to go, but really?
