...and that's the ***** of it, Maury, coaches like Rhule will not do what it takes to win with this year's roster. He's in it to prove he can get Raiola and a few others to the NFL. **** the fans who wanna win. It's like his preacher dad, he would forsake the entire congregation (and collect their money) if old lady O'Chaunessy would just be cured of her illness. Then, he looks like the savior....and just guess who the alter boys are in this equation. Like father like son, hardly ever fails.
Oh, I totally agree with that. I just think that, with NU's current limitations, an RPO system would generate more points than whatever the hell Satt is trying to do now
Satterfield doesn't like to run that much. He even admitted that he thinks the players and fans get bored with it. Truthfully I don't even like his passing game that much. We have some speed at wideout and a QB with a great arm. Throw some long balls and not all these jump throws.
Link to his admittance? If he truly said this, I'll go fight him in the Hy-Vee parking lot myself.
I would normally agree with you, but last year's Offense scored more points than this year's Offense (at the same point in Big 10 play). If Haarberg has learned to cut down his turnovers (a big "if", I know), I think an RPO system would get NU that 6th win much easier than the current junk we've been witnessing
100%
I like the red zone package with Haarberg and wish NU had stuck with it yesterday on the drive when it was used. But what on Earth makes you think an RPO game with Haarberg as the full-time QB would be effective, when he can't hit the broad side of a barn with his passes? And what makes you think he’s “learned to cut down his turnovers”?
That's why I said IF he's learned to cut down his turnovers. And I would not bench Raiola for Haarberg. All I'm saying is if this was the last college football season before a giant meteor struck the Earth, and we didn't have to worry about benching a 5-star QB who would probably then transfer, I think NU might get to 6 wins with an HH-led RPO as opposed to a Dylan-led "No Running Threat At All" Offense
Wonderboy you are living in a dream world. for some reason the coaches dig in there heels and stay with one qb. I agree.
He actually does show excitement & fire, just not in the huddle during an offensive drive where the camera follows him. He's fairly rah-rah at the right times. Timing counts. His coaches could learn from him.
I would have liked to see him chew some *** on those dropped passes by Banks.. what was it, 2 in a row late in the second half?
we scored one TD yesterday on a play that Fidone sprung with a nice block
yeah I didn't see much of the game, but you're right about leadership, and that is sort of hard to expect from a true freshman, but that is why HH should play a bigger role in the offense.. not just a trick play here or there. HH has leadership ability and he can teach DR those things. I don't think anyone is saying HH is better than DR. They just turned all of this over to him way too early. And Satterfield.. well that guy is just as bad as Frost at running an offense.
I'm probably in the minority here but I'm not a fan of shuffling the QBs
we agree on Satt.. I would have started HH this year and eased in DR. but that is me and I'm in the minority on that.
A little more of that next year. If he's here. I don't care for pompous rookies, who are still learning the job.
being a leader requires zero pomposity.
If you would’ve started Haarberg this year, you clearly don’t watch Husker football. Some of you guys are like battered wives.
ugh.. you make a great point.. I don't get the vibe like AM where he made people worse, but I think it's just too much too fast for a true freshman.
Exactly, makes you wonder if kong ever played a down as a frosh qb his entire life.
I think there’s a mile of ground between using Haarberg effectively and benching Raiola. Satterfield sucks.
I just honestly don't know that DR has had to respond to adversity much (ever?) in his entire life prior to getting here
Sure, but the thread started with, "Anyone think we would actually have a better Offense with Haarberg right now?"
Glad you’re not part of any coaching staff making that decision..Dylan is the future, yea he sucked yesterday but Haarberg wouldn’t take this team anywhere..
we'll never know.. and you're right about him being the future, but I wouldn't have abandoned the run and put it all on a true freshman.. who knows.. maybe I'd have a better record than the preacher.. but yes, I would have done it different.
