Everyone needs to calm down about Tommys mechanics... Still a Hugh school senior and we're not expecting him to come in and be Tom Brady!!! What we need out of him is above average accuracy and abilities to give us a threat to throw downfield in early downs. His ability to run which I think is excellent will help in terms of making his throwing motion a slightly less important attribute. IMO he throws. Very good deep ball and doesn't lock on to his primary on pass plays closer to the line of scrimmage. Seems to know where the hot reads are and maneuvers in the pocket well without just taking off all the time. Probably gonna redshirt if carnes stAys anyways. Get him some coaching then let's break him down.first look prob. 2013 red-white!!

 
You know what? i just thought of something. I should keep my opinions on 17 and 18 year olds to myself. I hope the kid out of San antonio has not read my posts and comes in and works hard and is succesful. Tearing down a kid on what he does wrong really is not any thing beneficial to the program. Plus none of us get paid 3 million a year to analyze. I sincerily apologize for my comments about Armstrong. Positives in life go alot further then being negative,especially when you are 17 years old and might be reading these posts.

 
Mavric, I dont disagree with what you are saying, maybe you phrased it, maybe I read your original post wrong. I am going to break down his film in another thread I'll start.

 
If we land him and fuller, gonna be interesting to see who takes the qb spot over the next couple of years. Good problem to have.

 
I haven't been more excited for a QB commit in the Rivals era (02'). Can't wait to see what Tommy Armstrong brings to Nebraska.

 
Wow. Very nice film. He throws well on the run. Has nice mechanics. The long ball is accurate. Hae seems fearless throwing the ball... no hesitancy, just delivers it. He runs well too. Nice field vision. He is very impressive. Has a strong arm. I really look forward to his coming to NU.

 
This kid already has down a lot of things that you do with a Quarterback in a redshirt year. He's already as big as he needs to be. He's got the mechanics down, the long ball down, he already takes snaps under center and runs a lot of similar offense to what we run. I don't see why he couldn't get some serious PT his freshman year.

Being deserving of potential PT and actually getting it are two differnt things. He might (though he might not) develop quickly enough to be deserving of being given a shot... I, personally, am not sure which it will be. What I am, however, reasonably confidant of is that Bo really is reticent to put anyone in at QB other than TM... why, I cannt say... but getting a shot at QB early seems unlikely unless TM gets hurt. Never know... of course... but that is, seemingly, the case.
