Tristan Gebbia

He was considered a likely NFL draft pick IN SPITE of his decision to stay.  There was nothing about his decision to stay that made him a more likely NFL draft choice.  It (would have) worked out for him.

You still have one example of one guy from over 20 years ago.  There are always outliers.  Those stories are 1 in 1000 (maybe).

Maybe he couldn't get a better offer.  What if he transferred and then wasn't the starter there?  He'd been up a creek with no paddle

what number #2 QB(for us) has left within five days of the first game?  I wish Bunch had all those reps. 

 
Bunch split reps until about 10 days ago.  I think he will be ready if needed.  He honestly didn't look to be too far behind in the spring game.

You know, when Tommy was declared the starter over Brook Berringer  he didn't pack up and leave the program.  Instead he worked his tail off, both for himself but also for the TEAM.  He wanted to be a Husker. Gebbia has shown that he really did not care about the Huskers in the end.

Or that he cares about his own future more.  You can't fault him for that.  Staying would have cost him a year and then he would have transferred anyway.  At least now he still loses the year, but can get up to speed with his new school and be eligible next season if he transfers to another P5 school.

 
Surprised by this but looks to be the trend of the day.  AM could easily go down or not play well.  There is no guarantee Gebbia will play elsewhere either.  Assuming he had a plan B all along so would not surprise me if we hear quickly where he lands.  Gebbia is from my alma mater, Calabasas High, so was hoping he could do well here.  Seemed like he was a good teammate and worked really hard and thus I'd think he'd see the field some.  I guess I will just chalk this up to...AM must be an absolute BEAST!!!  :cowbell: :cheers :corndance :band :koolaid2: There, I feel better now.

 
I never understood why Gebia did not seek his release  immediately after the coaching change.  His body type did not fit this offense and in the end that was the difference.  Based on how quickly he dis-enrolled and asked for his scholly release Gebia and family had a plan in place  if not named the starter.  In the short run, he took valuable REPs away from the next kid on the list to be ready as the backup. Not a good look on his part.

I guess you could argue that he was the competition that pushed Martinez during practice 

 
I'm just disappointed in our fanbase.  Instead of wishing the kid the best (he worked his a$$ off while he was here) we are calling him, "soft, weak, not a team player, bad attitude" etc.  We are so selfish and only care about our "Nebraska football" that we don't care he's doing what's best for him and what's best to further his career to the next level.  We would all go elsewhere for a job if that included better opportunities.  We need to look in the mirror, we're no better than the ksu, cu, mizzou, Texas fans that we despise.  Gebbia put the work in while he was here, let's wish him the best instead of being salty about it.

Amen.

 
a lot of people seem to be forgetting that gebbia didn't come here to play in a spread offense. he came here to play in a pro offense. i have no idea how anyone can fault him for leaving. He deserves credit for sticking it out until the end.

He's transferring for himself. You can't at the same time care more about the team and transfer because it's best for yourself. Not everyone thinks it's a negative. Many people have stated he's doing what's best for him and have no problem with that and would do the same thing.

There are a lot of people outside of huskerboard who aren't as accepting.  Like I said, would you stay in a company where you like your co workers aka team over transferring to another company where you could move up the ladder in a short time to possibly make a lot more money?

I think you can put it together.

Terrible season ends

Terrible coach and staff terminated

New coach comes in from an undefeated season (and saught after)

Returning starting QB bails

POB bails (backup)

TG is given a fair chance to win the starting job

TG is talented, smart, and knows he has to beat out a true frosh that didn't play his SR year of HS bc of injury.

And the other competition are walkons.

Plan B is to bail if somehow he doesnt become starter. 

Go ball out and win the job, but have backup plan immediately ready to rollout and bail.

Nothing personal, just business 

 
If AM goes down, this season just became a potential nightmare.  I guess that is what disappoints me the most.  TG is a vital / essential player to the team and how we do this year.  We need a thread on Bunch because its been AM/TG talk and Bunch might become one of the the most important players of the season if he has to play a lot of snaps or spell AM a game or two, especially if we are doing well and have a lot at stake.
