Dylan Raiola

Was really hoping to see where Dylan could maybe reach out and pull in some younger talent from around the country. I’d heard rumblings of players wanting to play with him, but haven’t seen any new developments as of yet.

You may be talking about the portal, but I doubt we sign Mills if Raiola wasn't here. Potentially not Mozee either, obviously hiring his dad was a factor but playing with Raiola was as well.

Yeah sorry for not clarifying. I was talking in regards to the portal, but def excited about Mile and Mozee. 

 
I didn't need to read any further than #2 on their list. Drew Allar is awful and putting him that high on their list is just plain dumb. PSU won despite of Allar, not because of him. Terribly inaccurate and didn't step up when it was necessary. 

I don't think much of Klubnick either but I think he can be fixed with coaching whereas Allar I would be much less inclined to have that hope. 

GO BIG RED!!!!!

I agree with you on Allar.  We have a PSU vs OSU title game if Allar is serviceable.

lol, the list lost immediate credibility for me too when I saw where he was ranked. The kid was horrible the entire playoffs and stunk up the joint against playoff peers in Oregon and Ohio state pre playoffs too.  How he was getting relatively high nfl draft momentum in the playoffs remains mind boggling. 

 
I'm still excited about Raiola and the coaches and players building a better team around him, but I could have sworn I saw him regress after that hot start, and some of it was around his decision-making, not the talent he had to work with. So I have no trouble if a little skepticism crept in around Dylan, as his elevation to Mahomes Jr. may have been premature. Holgersen looks to be a better fit and Dylan seems vested in making Nebraska work, so I'm leaning into the optimism. 

 
Some need to take off the rose colored glasses if you are saying Allar is overrated.  I would take a QB who accounted for 30 tds(24 pass, 6 run) and only 8 ints any day while completing 66.5% of his passes.  For comparison, DR had 13 total tds with 11 ints while completing 67.1% of his passes.  

 
I get your point. However, Allar is a Junior and DR is a true freshman. Allar's sophomore season (when he became starter) had some red flags for sure (2023 below - sorry can't make that table line up):

If you placed Dylan on that PSU team with a year of experience under his belt I am taking Dylan all day long.

Red flags such as 25 Tds to 2 ints.  
 

How many years have Husker fans been whining about wanting a QB that is a good game manager and doesn’t make mistakes?  Allar is that type of QB but on the upper end of it.
