You are right if you only go off what you mentioned, but there is more information available. He was featured on a Netflix series called QB1: Beyond the lights. That show follows around 3 high school QBs their senior year documentary style. That showed Rattler as a VERY talented prima donna with significant character issues that divided locker rooms. Numerous stories over his duration at OU indicate his character has not changed. Combine that with only seeing him play terribly in the NU game while surrounded with an extremely talented supporting cast would point to him being overrated. It seems like you don't agree but it isn't obvious that the juice is worth the squeeze.
Only at Nebraska do we run off our own 4 year starting QB- one of the best in the portal, only to immediately start a campaign to bench and criticize any potential replacement.
According to what I read:
- Martinez sucks, but he outplayed Heisman hopeful Rattler
- Rattler has all the talent in the world, but also sucks because Martinez outplayed him and rumors he didn't like being benched
- Brennan sucks because he couldn't even start at LSU and he's a one and done, why invest the resources to have him only one year
- The Akron kid sucks because he played at Akron and we play in the BIG
- Smothers sucks because when he played against Iowa he looked just like and had the same outcome as Martinez
- I've come to the conclusion that the only thing to make some of you happy would be for Frost to develop a new, cutting edge offense that eliminates the QB completely.
- And then to fully satisfy some of you, Frost would then need to be fired anyway.
FREAKING Ridiculous.
