Lee vs. POB

If Lee is named the starter, will O'Brien transfer before the season starts?

Just watched the BTN Nebraska vs. Oregon in 60. We keep hearing about how accuracy has vastly improved but man that will not take much. To be fair, if Tommy was any less mobile he would have gotten destroyed. That's worrisome.

 
Do we have the best qbs in the Big Ten West, or is that yet to be determined? Based off the depth charts I would say we have the best quarterback in the B1G west. In the conference I would say say we are behind OSU, PSU and Mich at the qb spot.

 
I know he's older, but Lee just appears to be so much bigger than O'Brien.
Tanner Lee = 6'4" 205 lbsPOB = 6'4" 230 lbs

Per roster of Huskermax.com.
I saw POB on campus and there's no way he is 6'4. I'd say he is 6'1 at best. There's no way he is any taller than Armstrong. He is for sure 230 tho
He and Tanner Lee are similar heights and they are both around 6'4. POB is taller then Tommy, Patrick can see over the offensive line and all of the recruiting services had him at 6'4. They measure them the players at camps and such, where POB was around 6'4 at all of them.

That's the tradeoff and the biggest question for the season. Will having an accurate passer do enough to offset the so-so pass blocking?

That said, Armstrong wasn't good at stepping into the pocket, so it's possible he made the pass blocking look worse than it actually was. He tended to jog backwards which often made it easier for the DL to get close to him. Then he'd do his spin move and launch the ball into the air.

Agree

I will not miss that spin move.

 
I liked that spin move. Watching a DE zoom in for a huge shot on Tommy, only to see him pull off yet another Houdini escape and the DE whiff on thin air - that was fun.

The spin move I loved.....the launch...not so much.

He just seemed always very uncomfortable and stressed back there. Found a way to make very uneventful dropbacks epic in some way or another.
