Lee vs. POB

[BigRedBuster]

Nice hearing comments like this from a DB.

2. Husker cornerback Eric Lee has noticed the windows have gotten smaller.

That is, the windows the QBs are fitting throws into. Tanner Lee and Patrick O'Brien have both already made some plays this spring that have caught his attention.

"Definitely. On the field, and even when I'm off the field, you kind of see a couple throws where I'm, 'I don't know how they fit that in,'" Eric Lee said.

That's a good sign regarding the quarterbacks. It's also good practice for a cornerback like Lee.

"Having that quarterback that stays in the pocket a little more, and that can make those throws, just to squeeze it in there and just have that perfect touch, it helps a lot more because we're going to see a lot more of those quarterbacks down the road."

I figure it's Lee, since he's got the experience and POB hasn't separated from him. Either way, we have a rookie to break in and there will be rookie mistakes. 7 wins tops next season because of this.

You know that's only happened twice since the 1960's right? You data is not your friend.

I stand by my "data". 7 wins tops. Rosen only had 8 his rookie year, we dont have Rosen. DL and LBs are sketchy and I think Diaco is clinically insane, lol!

Although Lee is new to Nebraska and to this particular system, he is far from a rookie.

You are right. He could be the second coming of Sam Keller.

Well, his numbers @ Tulane were subpar. ~52% completions and passed for less than 2000 yds per. That was in the American Conference. So, I see no reason to get all "juiced" about him. And the fact that POB hasn't separated from him worries me too. If either actually gets on the field and kicks a$$, I will be surprised. Learning curve time, and we will probably be at a QB disadvantage in most games, like say, Purdue--that guy is pretty darn good and seasoned. jNU QB, same thing, etc. Either should be a better all around passer than TA, but there will be rookie mistakes in real time B1G competition.

If either can pull down 8 wins, I consider it a successful season. Look to '18 for things to get interesting for Big Red.

He will be good. You have to remember he put those numbers up injured at TULANE, where there was no supporting cast, he has a ton of weapons here.

Our main weapons are gone, namely Westy. We're going to be missing Carter in a big way too. Morgan will probably be the go to guy, but he's not Westy. DPE, I dunno. Other than that, a bevy of rookie WRs, some with mad skills. I hope the latter get on the field, we're going to need them. Lee will have to "show me". I still have high hopes for POB, just not this year, it seems.

Stanley Morgan may not be Westy but he might have been our most consistent receiver last year. Plus now he is the veteran and will be the number 1 go to guy in our offense. If our starting QB is competent in the offense, Morgan could have a very nice year. The guy has great hands, and is better physically than Westy was

I don't see where anyone was getting juiced up about Lee. I said he wasn't a rookie. Which he isn't.

And when quoting stats, it's helpful to get context.

Obviously hasn't looked at the 2018 schedule yet...

 

[Nebfanatic]

Does one of our receivers finally reach 1000 yards this year?

If there is a year to do it this would be the year. No proven WR depth and with Stanley Morgan becoming the guy I would say he has a good shot to go over a 1,000. We also should have a solid QB that can get them the ball. Last year we had so many WRs (Westy, Moore, Reilly, Morgan, and CC) to share touches that it would have been hard to put up big numbers.

I concede your last point only. But I don't recall Morgan making alot of plays last year. He has problems--like everybody not named "Westy"--separating and getting open. And no way are his hands anywhere near what Westy has. Westy is a freak in that regard. Westy does what a WR is supposed to do: get open and catch the ball, plus he can get some YAC. He does his job, IOW. Westy is just too fragile is his only problem. Can't take a hit. He beefs up and he could be the next Julian Edelman, more or less--with better hands.

Morgan will be the go to guy next year, but it will be 7-8/10ths Westy. Lindsay or Mcquitty may surprise, also, once they get their feet wet.
