Who wins out? Tanner Lee reportedly tears it up on the Scout team, but we've heard that about plenty of busts in the past. It's hard not to look at POB's measurables and not want to think of the 4 year future here.
POB or Tanner Lee?
- Thread starter elmonster
- Start date
Aren't you guys tired of four year starters at QB? Why not take Iowa's route and start a fresh face and be really good for his first year. Then over coach him so that his second year he is a lot worse.
Tanner Lee. I will be shocked, stunned and surprised if POB beats him out!
I'm giving the edge to Lee because he has quite a bit of real, D1 experience. First hand reports show him to be liked, a leader and deadly accurate. He is getting high level coaching for the first time to elevate his skillset. He's a little older so he has an edge in maturity one would assume.
I hope POB pushes him hard and can step in if he goes down. None of us has a dog in this fight. May the best man win and may the Huskers take a BIG step forward. I'd love to see another Zac Taylor, only with the ability to make all the throws as they say.
Last QB we heard about "tearing things up" on the scout team was Taylor Martinez.....Winking
To be fair, that was against a Bo Pelini defense. Taylor was also a ridiculous athlete. We know what ridiculous athletes do on the ground against Bo Pelini defenses.
Jeez guys Les Miles hasn't even joined the staff yet as QB coach. Once he jumps on board I'm confident he will do a thorough evaluation of both and the one that gives us he best chance to win will play.
And those reports were correct about Martinez. Do you not remember his freshman and sophomore years? Dude tore it up early on.
Because I watched every game Lee played at Tulane... POB will be a RS frosh. Lee has 2 full years of being a D1 starter. Just watch the film.
Well I don't think you watched Tulane on TV much. Maybe you found videos online. I'm impressed if you did watch all his games (wondering why if you did) but unfortunately I have a tough time believing you. That said, everybody that I've heard that has seen him in practice has been impressed.
Taylor was pretty salty against most defenses he faced until has got hurt. A Husker warrior!
Channel 1234 on Cox had Tulane games on often (CBS?) and streaming them online, you can watch any game at any time. I bet CFB so that's why I watched random Tulane games. The first time I saw Lee I was impressed. He has everything we're looking for in a qb; I haven't been this exciting for an upcoming Nebraska season since 2009.
Except when he was pressured, went looney and threw the ball up in the air like a hot potato! Lol
I just watched the Temple vs Tulane game on youtube... He has good pocket presence, but nothing from that game makes me think he is a shoe in for the starting job
I guess he wasn't pressured much on his way to breaking a bunch of passing records. His ankle injury and fumbles were much bigger issues than his passing.
Until players face live competition we won't know. Hell, USC started the year with a QB who was supposed to be their best and then inserted a redshirt freshman who went on to be lights out leading USC to ranked 3rd by some polls by the end of the year.
So if the coaches didn't know who was the best until week six, I'm not sure how fans on a message board are supposed to know.
Reading tea leaves from comments by current players and coaches would lead one to believe Lee is leading the race currently, but time will tell.

I think they'll both get a shot at some point in the year.. Statue Lee will probably get the nod, but I'd be amazed if he never got hurt with our
O line.
O line.
Assuming you mean crouch? When TMart was at Nebraska we were nowhere close to a NC.
You talking about Keller? He started for ASU, didn't he? I remember he nearly beat USC with his arm, and had good stats his junior year. I'll admit I was stoked when he was coming... did not think he was gonna be as bad as he was for us.
Also, Tanner Lee was Tulane's starter. Tulane changed offenses, that's why he transferred. I have no idea if he'll start here, or how he will do, but this isn't a case of a guy transferring because he lost out to a better player, he transferred because the offense didn't suit him.
Troy Aikman transferred. Russel Wilson and Jeff Hostetler, too. Not that most transfers turn out to be NFL championship caliber, but some schools have an abundance of highly ranked prospects. With NU not having any with that kind of talent to run Cally's WCO, can you blame him for taking a chance on an athlete like Sam Keller? Yeah, hindsight it's easy to say you would have done otherwise. Not to mention the predicament that Cally was in after Josh Freeman backed out on his committment very late in the recruiting process.
Actually I was responding to elmonster, who said TMart won a NC his redshirt year.
You responded to both of them. Did you not mean to on the second one where you quoted rrp?
Those who make absolute statements here, without an open mind, based on their own prejudices; should read this statement and consider all that goes into it. Makes for a better board. GBR
