Before Nebraska goes and pulls a redshirt, how about they find an identity on offense first?
The kid from Florida St ain't too shabby either.I see freshmen start at other colleges, redshirt and otherwise, (Wisky, Georgia, Texas, UCLA to name four) so I don't know why POB can't do it next year, if he shows that he wins the job in Fall Camp. Obviously, it will be between him and Tanner Lee, but I don't think his being a redshirt freshman, should be a reason NOT to start him.
Agreed, but he was a transfer to cover a gap after a coaching change, just like Tanner Lee is this season, so IMO this isn't a recruiting win but a roster gap filler using the transfer rules.Oh I dunno, Zach Taylor was a decent true passing qb.
Our problem has NOTHING to do with the QB situation.
With an OL......I could make a 15 yd slant throw.
With our current OL......there is no QB in the history of the game that could of OR can make that throw.
Nope, nope nope . . . far too late and too little to play for to burn an entire year for POB at this point. It's not even close, in my mind. If TA can't go, then you start Fyfe. If Fyfe struggles, give Darlington a chance . . . and if he can't, then line up someone fast/elusive in the wildcat who might be able to complete a pass here and there and roll with something unusual if needed.
Makes no sense to burn a shirt for a QB (or pretty much anyone) with 3 games left in the regular season and realistically no chance for a championship. Make the best of the year and take your lumps if you have to based on some other RS choices made and come back next year to try again.
If we were Top 10 and still in the hunt for a playoff run and TA was absolutely out for the year, then it would make sense to consider putting in POB. Running him out there behind a MASH unit (and horrible) line to preserve a Top 25 finish and a mid tier bowl game? Gawd no.
Don't believe there was ever huge emphases on getting a 4 or 5 star QB except for Bubba Starling who was NEVER coming to Nebraska.
Bottom line we recruited some good athletes and thought we could turn them into good college QB's. That's easier said then done IMO. Now MR has to develop depth at a lot of positions including QB.
Lamar Jackson says hi.
Will you still feel the same as the bolded if WI loses a game and NU could have been in the CCG?
