Hot take? It’s tape from ONE game. Personally, I would watch more than one game highlights before rendering an elvaluation.
IMHO, Stone will be just fine. If NU stinks, it will be for other worrisome areas.
Curious about fan expectations...

It was your silly hot take on my comments about the video, hth.
Someone posted a video, which I watched. My comments are indeed based solely on the video, and in that video I don't think Stone looks good. I assume someone could post a video showing all of the awesome stuff he has done and then he'd look awesome. As far as football goes, all that really matters is how he performs during the season. I'll certainly root for him to succeed.
Kinda agree. Showed sone good pocket presence under pressure and made sone good throws, but was erratic. Better than what we had, and perhaps hes improved over the past couple of years. We'll see. Sink or swim
I think the benchmark for a successful transfer QB at NU is Peyton Ramsey. If Stone can come close to the production of Ramsey in 2020, then we will have a fun, winning season.
Mr User name not available, not sure how it’s a hot take if your comments/perceptions are right there for all to view and you admitted it was based on one game highlight tape. That’s sounds more like a hot take to me, but whatever. BTW, making an evaluation on one tape is what is silly!
A very good QB like Stone is worth at least 3-4 more wins. In a shortened season in 2020, Ramsey took a 3-9 team to 7-2, and it could've easily have been a 9 or 10 win season. If Stone stays healthy, six wins is a given, and if the ball bounces in our favor, 8 wins is possible.
If he fails we need to find the hottest OC available in Division 1A. Ryan has given the football program way too much $$$$$ for these results. The program will never be really competitive til it at least lands a few 4 star recruits each year. 3 stars just means the kid can just make a B1G roster, nothing more. Ryan I am sure wants to see big dividends for his rather large investment. If Braun fails to make the 6 win mark again, the experiment needs to end quickly. The longer the mediocrity fosters, it might make it really tough to find a very good HC.
I hate to say it because Braun seems to be a really good man but I agree 100%.
Yeah he didn't ask for this. But compared to where he was at NDSU, He'll probably end up having
I am an eternal optimist, and so I think the Cats will be in the 6 to 7 win range. I think this team has some similar characteristics to NU teams that have surprised people in the past. I think depth, outside of wide receiver, is good. As many have pointed out, the starting QB is a veteran. While the schedule is challenging, the 3 BIG teams they match up best against (Purdue, UCLA and Minnesota) are all at home. Even though they will be prohibitive underdogs against Oregon and PSU, I expect both those games will be more competitive than expected, as Oregon under Lanning has generally not come together until about the 4th week, and Franklin’s running up the score in 2023 will help Braun focus the Cats. Both Nebraska and USC have been erratic in recent years, and a win in either of those games would not surprise me. While beating either the Illini or Michigan is unlikely, I don’t expect either to be a blowout, which means ther is some hope there.
I think the defense will be decent; the offense will rely on efficiency rather than explosiveness, but I suspect Stone may be able to make that happen.

Braun may be fired even with a decent season if a hot coach that both the new AD & Pat Ryan like becomes available.
