Lee has no awareness. He throws into coverage way too much. He doesn't see the underneath routes. He overthrows receivers. He doesn't move around in the pocket at all. He makes terrible decisions under pressure. He is accurate at times, but other than that he's not a very good quarterback.
Is it time to try someone new at qb?

- Start date
My two cents. With all the hype, Lee is feeling a lot of pressure to show results and as a result he is making bad decisions and trying to force it.
Look at Iowa's QB Stanley. Before this year he had hardly any playing time at all. Yet he has thrown 10 td's to just 1 int. Much of that is coached. Numbers aren't always great, but Iowa QB's just don't throw a lot of game killing int's generally speaking. They haven't always had great protection either. It is coached. Iowa also has a strong QB coach in O'Keefe now.

I think the word is out there on tapes of the first 3 games: pressure NU's QB and he will make mistakes and take sacks due to a very poor OL (and a poor OL coach). Without Bryant, we are basically one-dimensional and very simple to defend. If you notice, our point production is steadily dropping now: 42, 35, 17. You won't beat many teams scoring 17 on offense while giving away 14 on pick 6's.
Who Tom A wide receiver? With that **** line play I'm for not Getting people killed. Fix the line mess 5 million for Wisconsins line coach.
Funnily enough, everyone's favorite coaching candidate, John Gruden, also subscribes to the "I can make this work" theory.
In response to the original post by Tom, I think you have to give POB a look, you never know, could be the miracle you need. I wouldn't expect much though with the state of line play.
I wouldn't expect much to change at QB.
This is year 3 and we're going backwards at 1-2.
I don't think Riley has any more latitude to take further lumps breaking in a new QB after recycling a good portion of the coaching staff. He's pretty much tethered to Lee's success / failure at this point; it's Lee's offense.
Eichorst is tied to Riley righting the ship. Riley is tied to Lee living up to his promise. Bad spot to be in.

Yes, Hell Yes! should take over as starter IMO. How much worse could he possibly be? He could have a few designed run plays, zone read.
I would love to have Leach at Nebraska. Man he's good. If only he was at a place that could afford top D coaches.
