Chubba

You do realize both Ward and Howard threw more than McCord? HH needs to give it up as a qb.
I don't see why he would leave..if they make his bank account look right...the last 2 years we have been wishing we had a good 4th string qb, due to injury and no experience..if chubby is good enough he will be on the feild.
You become more of a one trick pony poster every day… and probs was never an athlete.
You disappoint me
Exactly, can't be content patting ourselves on the back just because we pull a QB out of the portal. Everybody else on our schedule is going to be loading up on QB's from the portal too. Things are going to get extremely competitive in this environment and we had better learn to play the game. Things are changing in the world of college football, it's adapt or die.
I don't get this sentiment. There's nothing wrong with having a diversity of skillsets in the qb room and I would actually consider it a positive thing.
I hate to laugh as this is sort of at HHs expense, but this is funny.Definitely not the starter next year tho
I hope the whole QB roster is kept with Rhule and Co telling everyone how they got their guys and then we get some reassuring reports about how good they look in practice this spring. Coach em up!
1I think NW was a better team at the end of the season than when we played them. They were on an upward trajectory the whole year. I think Colorado was the opposite. Still see us winning that game with competent QB play.
You almost have to change the offense to go from a player like McCord to HH (if McCord or another high-caliber passing QB signs with us). Plus there are depth issues at LB and potentially TE that could be addressed with a relatively good athlete in HH. Also having a guy that isn't really a QB playing that position takes away from reps that would go to other backups (like Kaelin). We have had too many years of not getting our backups enough game time.
HH is valuable as a 3rd or 4th option at QB, multiple QB injury insurance. Otherwise, he is mainly as a gimmick player - wildcat, WR/TE reverse, etc..... a couple plays per game then back to the clipboard.
Chubba is good at fumbling without being touched and throwing it to the other teams players who arent even covering anyone.
Dingle digs his hees in about chubs more than kong about hh, its not even close.

Chubba is the only QB we have who has shown he can run the whole offense. Not once have I said that we shouldn’t try to recruit over him. That said, we might very well add our starter via the portal but it’s unlikely we’ll add a second guy more ready to play than Chubba if called upon.
As far as his one fumble goes, he was trying to forward pitch it to Fidone. It was a poor decision probably brought on by watching too much of Mahommes. At least he can catch snaps.

I personally want to keep Chubba as backup or third string.
But that unsolicited fumble he had while running the ball against Iowa? Not starter material. You're talking about the last where he willfully tried to flip the ball out to Fidone.
We're taking about when he was running untouched and the ball just magically popped out for no reason. Thankfully he recovered it mid run, but yikes...
It seems fumbling is contagious. In Purdy’s case I think it would be a fixable problem. Sims not so much.
I don’t want him to leave, but if he left it wouldn’t be for anything better, so we should not be mourning a transfer when that is the case.
Now would he be good depth? Yes he would be but good depth is not so many teams have at QB these days.
My point was we need him in the QB room competing. It would be a concern to have to start over with 2 new QBs trying to get comfortable in our offense. Chubba is a talented guy that lots of P5 programs would love to have on their roster. I’m just hoping ISU doesn’t snatch him.
Kind of what I’m afraid of. He helps our QB room. I’m not against bringing in 2 transfers but I think it’s very unlikely the second guy would have more potential than Chubba.
In a perfect world, NU gets McCord to be QB1 and Leavett as QB2. McCord has demonstrated he is clearly way better than what we have. Leavett has much greater potential than Chubba, who would be a serviceable QB3 ( but would hope it never comes to that). HH has athleticism that projects to contributing at another position and his leadership was contagious this season. Would also be a very good emergency QB.
I’d like to see HH as a TE. Honestly has all the tools to be successful there and the team seems to really love him. I hope Purdy stays. We don’t have a prayer of finishing in the top half of the new B1G without great to elite QB play. It’s time for us to stop settling. And Rhule needs to get a QB coach in here. Satt ain’t the guy.
Kong-Why can’t you accept this analysis-accurate-Doesn’t try and make anyone someone they are not.
Hh is a heck of a teammate, leader, athlete, representative of the university. It’s pretty optimistic to think that he can be a great quarterback in any system that requires a 60-70 percent Completion rate to be Effective. He has earned the right to try. But he is also too good an athlete to keep off the field In some capacity, Even if, God forbid, he is playing another position.
Kong will/can defend himself. But I don’t think his argument was HH at all cost. It was HH vs. the other 2 QBs we had on the roster this year. I think he said a healthy HH was our best chance to win compared to Sims and Chubba. FWIW, i agreed with that sentiment. Everyone agrees we need an upgrade in the portal - even Kong.
Maybe, but not his only argument… he paired that argument with the argument that said many who disagreed with him were crapping on the Nebraska born and raised kid and how sad that was.
He is an expert at trolling on both sides, for and against. He is VERY good with his words and can wriggle out of any position you try to pin on him.
And I think people are tiring of that. He has his supporters, no doubt, and a lot of what he says makes sense, but it’s his methods that have become tiresome.
in other words, everything purdy is not.
that nobody would be surprised to see purdy quit says all we need to know about his reputation as a teammate and competitor.
the coaching staff are painting themselves into quite the corner with this full court publicity blitz at the quarterback position
I hope for their (and our) sake they don't strike out. can't imagine what that'd do to the locker room.

How do you know? Do you know Chubba personally? Do you deny that Chubba throws a nicer football, appears to be able to drive the team under duress? Do you think HH is incapable of having a leadership role in any other position than QB?
Let’s put it this way, if I was HH and you were my father, I would tell you to shut the F up.
chubba cannot even face the media after losing a game. drive the team under duress? he pissed himself at the end of all 3 games he played.
last throw vs maryland - INT
last throw vs wisconsin - INT
last throw vs iowa - INT
the end.
you are obsessed with me. get a life.
Can you do anything but Insult players and coaches character? Be obnoxious to everyone else?
what about my post was an insult?
I merely listed facts.
chubba had the ball in his hands at the end of three tie games and ended each one of them with an interception and loss.
that's not an insult. it's just what happened.
