Managing the QB Room

It’s inability to create/maintain depth at QB position. 
 

Who was going to play vs Rutgers when LM sat out and all AM did was turn the ball over the first half? Anyone but Rutgers and that was another loss.

Vedral was good enough to give a scholarship to, but not enough to play at NU - clearly inability to manage the QB room.

I don’t agree. He was brought in as depth and someone in the room that knows the system and could help the others learn. He did that. 
 

There was nothing here when he got here other than Gebbia and he worked hard to keep him….but he bolted right before the season. 
 

Pretty hard to build quality depth in a year or two.

Vedral leaving wound up being pretty unfortunate for where we're at this season. Noah surely left because McCaffrey was rising up to solidify that #2 spot...then McCaffrey quits the team.

And I'd take Vedral's skills 10 times out of 10 over McCaffrey's. Wish Vedral was still here because he'd almost certainly be QB2 in case Adrian suffers injury again this year.

IMO, then that’s a wasted scholarship, thus mismanaged roster.

Was Vedral a wasted scholarship when he played snaps as (including a start) as a backup QB in 2019?  After that, he left NU to become a starter at another school.

I would love to have Vedral, but Vedral wanted a place to start, and he found that at Rutgers.  I fail to see how NU mismanaged the Vedral situation.

Yeah, yeah...just a separate train of thought by me in that post. Basically just lamenting that Vedral left.

I also fail to see how NU mismanaged his situation. And I don't have any inside information and I wasn't at practices so I have no idea how the competition really worked out between him & Luke; all we can really do is speculate on that.

I don’t care about other programs. I can guarantee other schools who want to compete amongst don’t have this issue you are trying to pick at. You’re deviating from the topic and creating a red herring

How exactly would you guarantee this?

What would have to be happening for you to be convinced that we do have adequate QB depth?

You’re cherry picking a point that misapplies the comment back to BigRedBuster which was bringing in a scholarship player to be a “teacher” to others.
 

I’m opining that I wish we still had Vedral, that his departure is not good management of the qb room which is severely lacking depth. That he had developed into a QB who could backup when AM got hurt, or stunk it up last year. I get the rise of LM because he had the high ceiling, but in the end, it didn’t work out and Nebraska is stuck with no zero depth behind AM and just question marks whether a backup is good enough. I’d take Vedral > Smothers > Haarberg > CTB (lol).

So, any time a QB doesn’t like his spot on the depth chart, it’s the coaches fault because of mismanaging the room?

I am still wondering how NU mismanaged the situation with Vedral, solely because he wanted to transfer.  Frost can't force a guy to stick around, especially when Vedral didn't show anything during his time at NU which would have made him the eventual starter at NU.
