Not picking on you specifically, but people have been posting this exact same thing for 10 years.
No offense intended (because this isn't directed at you) but I call BS on the bolded. That's little more than confirmation bias resulting from the team playing poorly and being mismatched. The '07 Tunnel Walk against USC is often lauded as one of the most energetic in the stadium's history and it didn't mean a thing 20 minutes later when they were getting their asses kicked.
I don't think that's necessarily true, at least not in all cases. QB mechanics and throwing motions can be really difficult to change, perhaps even detrimental to the QB's overall potential. The below article is specifically talking about NFL quarterbacks, but I think the message its sending is relatable to a high school QB transitioning to college. Bottom line being, it can be really tough to change throwing motions/mechanics once a bad foundation has already been set.
Just because they have money doesn't mean they're going to convince the best offensive and defensive linemen out there to come to Nebraska. We need to eliminate the line of thinking that directly correlates money to success.
Thank you. We need to build from the inside out. Then qb1 is the most important position to upgrade.
I agree that very little in football is true in all cases. HH is 6’ 5” and has had roughly 10% of his pass attempts batted down at the line of scrimmage so far. That’s a crazy rate. The NFL average is like 1.5% I believe. It’s a problem that needs corrected.
At this point I agree. It’s funny to me when an 18 yr old player doesn’t think getting $300,000 a year (just pulling a random number but is possib) at NU is the same as getting $100,000 at pick your SEC school. Make the NIL money impossible to say no to and rebuild the lines.
Haarberg is in his 3rd year at NU, so if he was going to change his throwing motion, it needed to be done under the previous staff. I’m not a fan of his motion, but it is what it is. Supposedly Rhule was asked about HH’s motion in the press conference, and Rhule answered they looked at it in the Spring, but couldn’t change anything. I actually think the coaches wanted Haarberg to be 3rd string QB, with getting snaps at TE (which he did early in the season). But, Purdy was limited with injuries and Sims got injured as well, thrusting HH into the starting role.
This all day and twice on Saturdays. Our priorities have been all wrong. We chase a star QB who’s uncle is the OL coach. Guess what that kid has front seat knowledge about how bad his uncle’s OL is! He has heard for his uncle’s firing firsthand. He also knows his uncle is not in the status of other coaches he knows that will get him the lineman he needs to keep him upright. This is a complete joke!
I agree. Michigan built the OL and DL first. They made it to their first CFP with Cade McNamara who is now the injured starting Iowa QB. Cade was a game manager and tough competitive kid out of Nevada. He could not come close to beating out the current M QB so he transferred.
