Dylan Raiola

We're not.

Please elaborate.

I'm guessing this changes DK looking at MSU? 

 

[Scofrosghost]

More thought droppings…if DK leaves where does that leave us with his peer recruits like mcmorris, Nelson, etc..

have you got a link showing someone saying our back ups were like Joe Montana?

He is the one claiming that our backups can still be developed, and we can't say/don't know what HH's abilities are, so I am pretty sure it was him.  Which makes it him arguing with himself now.

If and when Raiola does commit here should you let him be the starter and learn the ropes or still bring in a transfer qb with experience to let him learn and grow behind him so he doesn't have Husker Nation criticizing his every mistake as a true freshman?  Nebraska could still bring in a transfer qb or do think they feel like Purdy is a solid number 2?

This started as discussing keeping reliable backups and helping them improve, then a rabid Husker mob took over and started comparing backups to Joe Montana… like they’ve done for 20 years.

Haarberg and reliable don’t really go together. I hope he transitions to TE or another position, but he is far from a reliable D1 QB

Maybe he a reliable qb in Army's offense or a run based offense just not here.

His running even got tentative the last few games. He was slowing up and bracing coming into contact.

That's true but that still doesn't take away the fact that he can run.  Nebraska was thrown for a loop when Jeff Sims underperformed and had to look at other options to succeed.  Clearly HH was thrown into the wolves and wasn't ready.  With more development he could be as a running qb in a run based offense.  Once you become a one dimensional team your screwed in the Big10 bc defenses are too good for that.

I know it's 2 hours long so most won't want to sit and watch the whole thing but he hits on every topic.

Obvious training scarring. Dude was anticipating getting hit and got gun shy.

I agree.  I think he would make a great TE - tall and big enough,  good speed, can run after the catch and being a QB it helps him to know the position.

Upgrading Haarberg means moving him to another position where his athleticism could potentially make an NFL roster, not keeping him at QB where he has no future.

Or never, if you're Iowa.

Just a bad season.  Always blame the qb. 

I think a good QB coach would love to work with a gamer like him who has a strong arm but throws wonky sidearm passes

Not just him but our former qb's as well.

Would be cool if we only had one thread to look at for DR updates
