That assumes the player gets some playing time. Even the NFL isn't clairvoyant when a QB gets almost no playing time imo.If you’re a good to great player, the NFL will find you, no matter where you are.
Such a refreshing change from the Callahan, Bo, and Riley years. Glad to see the board evolve a bit.If there's one thing this board needed, it's a thread complaining about Frost and Martinez. Finally, the wait is over!
I'm looking forward to the next man up!!Such a refreshing change from the Callahan, Bo, and Riley years. Glad to see the board evolve a bit.

Not anymore because many now transfer! My point is if a program is full of excellent QB's someone is going to be sitting on the bench. Look at transfers like Jalen Hurts to name one. Bottom line any program has a tough time stock piling good players now because those kids want to play not warm the bench. Rattler is still a darn good QB and he won't sit on the bench the next several years! Why would he when his replacement is a true freshman?Most good to great players don’t sit on the bench their entire careers in college.
Agree about true competitors but smart competitors take note of SF unwillingness to try anyone else when AM stinks. SF blind loyalty = Not giving backups a fair chanceCompetitors don't expect to sit on the sideline, they have an ego and think they can beat out anyone. That's part of the reason why Bama as 4 and 5 stars stacked on top of them. You would have thought that Alabama wouldn't have recruited a QB for 3 years after Tua took the Tide by storm. Funny how they keep churning them out.
Not having a viable QB as backup
If Frost had a healthy in his prime Tommie Frazier, he would still start Martinez hurt or not.
We're there any quality qbs in the transfer portal willing to transfer to Nebraska to watch the game from the sideline?
Couldn’t have said it better myself. And I mean that - I’m nowhere near as eloquent as you. Also, you’re spot on…Did Oklahoma know they had a viable backup, or did they just give him a chance? I wonder how so many programs trot out a freshman that lights it up and we stick with a high talent guy with low output when it counts. Honestly, in the NW game the guy that seemed to want it the most in mop up time was Masker.
I was on a flight last night and the guy in the seat in front of me was watching moneyball. I wonder what the game analytics say about our key skill players.
My opinion - Frost scores practice performance too high without seeing how each player's practice translates to game. He values skill positions too high. He doesn't hold all skill players to the same level of accountability. He doesn't have depth in the trenches to hold them accountable. It's upside down...he doesn't go where the data tells him to go. Results -- weak OL, sticks with a high ceiling QB that makes awful mistakes in crunch time, ignores special teams and we get the 'stranger things' results we got the last several years. For us fans the best result is Trev somehow brings in a coach that can convince our skill players and best trench players to stay and turn them into a Pelini level team while he builds a National contender.
Meanwhile I hope Frost gets to go work on his personal life for a year and then into Saban's rehab U program until he can become a true top tier coach after being brought low and developing the humility he needs to get there.
There, that's what I think. Now go check out the joke posting, it's much more fun.
