He was a Big 10 starter. If TJ wins out, I'm fine with that, but we need to bring in someone who can provide competition.
This is the way I look at also. I would think the staff would know more after January 2nd and see what other options they have with other QB’S opting out.
Raiola was making what 3-3.5mil? How do we justify paying Chiles 5mil?! No way!
Why would Chiles go somewhere he is not expected to be the starter?
Chiles was also pretty terrible against a terrible UCLA defense. He also got benched half-way through the season and didn't play the rest of the year.
We were very fortunate he came back in when we played them
their backup likely beats us
This isn’t just better, it’s the best possible outcome.
the sooner Rhule is gone the sooner we can see if we hit on an actual winner.
Idk...But from what I've heard he seems to be one of the top guys we are targeting. I don't think you bring on on your top targets to be a backup.
Holla
So far Chiles has proven to be a bad quarterback regardless of the system he is in. He got demoted this year at MSU. I think it is a lot of wishing and hoping thinking by coming to Lincoln, he will magically transform himself into the next coming of Patrick Mahomes.
1. Do you think Matt and his staff can make Chiles into a better quarterback? 2. Do you have any confidence in Matt Rhule's ability to evaluate player? No and No is my response.
He got demoted at Sparty. Do just like to make things up? He is a bad player.
We hopefully don’t need that type of QB. We need an explosive version of Iowas offense. Little room for turnovers, lots of running with a fast QB and two good RBs, and simple play action passes. Run heavy. Chiles would help and flourish in that type of offense. ASU made Sims look competent. Simplify the playbook, get good at being tough and get back to what made Nebraska special.
Raiola’s total deal was supposedly around a million per year. The 3 million number was assuming he stayed for 3 years. At least that’s what a well informed booster of substance shared with me.
He was their starter until a season-ending injury so let’s not act like he couldn’t play at FAU.
And Thompson is the only QB we've had in the past decade who has beaten Iowa
Nebraska, primarily Omaha, hosts several major Fortune 500 companies, with
Berkshire Hathaway, Union Pacific, and Kiewit Corp consistently making the list, alongside others like Mutual of Omaha, Werner Enterprises, Valmont Industries, and Green Plains, though their rankings fluctuate yearly, with many others like First National of Nebraska appearing in the broader Fortune 1000.
right then:
Berkshire Hathaway = oline
Union Pacific = dline
Kiewit Corp = qb
Werner Enterprises = rb
Valmont Industries = lb
Green plains = wr
First National = db
Everybody Else = special teams and 1st class stadium
Coach Rhule = salesman
I will be CEO = making sure correct investments are made, and nobody is being too liberal with other peoples money without the correct return on investments
there is no "I" in team...

Straight up lie or you have terrible information.Raiola’s total deal was supposedly around a million per year. The 3 million number was assuming he stayed for 3 years. At least that’s what a well informed booster of substance shared with me.
Well I’ve listened to a retired NFL GM who said coaches always think they can be the one to fix a physically talented QB’s flaws. He said it rarely ever works. It worked last year for McConnell with the Vikings and Darnold during the regular season…until it didn’t in the post season. I would rather sign a guy who has shown he can do it at a lower level. Chiles was awful. The one thing I like is that we have Dana evaluating the options. IF Dana wants him, I would roll the dice on him. That said, I don’t believe he would win the job. I just think they feel that they HAVE to sign a body in the portal and he might be the best one willing to consider NU.
Doctor in Lincoln who did work for the team told me that. Take it FWIW. I don’t have any first hand information on it other than Rhule has said we’re not going to guarantee incoming freshmen millions of dollars. IF we gave him 3M/year before he ever took a snap we deserve to lose every game.
Well Rhule lies about as much as you do. Dylan was offered $2 million/yr to come here, was flirting with leaving after his freshman season, so was upped to $3+ million/yr this past year.
I hope we have more options to pick from besides Chiles. I question he is the answer but I’m confident that Lateef will start the season next year.
Is the bet (assuming he plays at Nebraska);
1) Chiles will play well at Nebraska?
or
2) If Chiles plays well, you won't be praising his play?
For clarity, Nebraska offered Raiola over $1M to come here before he officially committed to Nebraska out of high school?
I heard he was making 3 million this year and took a 1.2 or 1.8 million cut for his injury.
the ncaa should work with the irs, so we have a clear picture what each team is paying for nil, per year.
so fans get a perspective on expectations or lack of.
plus one would want to take into account the cost of living in each place.
..yeah i don't think we have a right to this info... anymore than they have a right to know what i make. JMO
