POB
- Thread starter Mr.Scary13
- Start date
Play calling isn't a problem. You'll find out when a competent qb is behind center.
Little harsh man. I see what you're saying but TA is giving it everything he has for this team.
Love Tommy but he had a brutal game today
Not bashing the kid, he plays hard and was brought here, but this isn't pee wee league. He's not a QB. There are plays to be made all over the field and he just can't execute them.
It is, but unfortunately it is true. Tommy doesn't have what it takes between the ears and he never will. He has terrible footwork habits that he regresses to, he constantly throws it into double and triple coverage and can't read defenses a lick. He's made some awesome plays, but overall he is a liability. And, we don't have anyone better that can take the job. Our best QB is a high school senior. Riley and Langsdorf know this. They are polishing the proverbial turd, but it just ain't working.
Agree with this, completing 35% the last two games is the difference in both games. And it isn't all on TA, but that is just terrible.
Hope he can scramble...don't want him getting snapped in half.

That's the only reason he's coming. You aren't to bright are ya?
Not harsh at all. He tries, but he is not a division one QB.
If I am Riley, the day after the last game of the season, I call Tommy in for a meeting and explain to him that POB will be the starter from the moment he sets foot on campus, and that he would love for Tommy to stay as a backup, but if he cannot do that, he may want to move on. That is the respectful thing to do. It gives Tommy time to chose.
Lol! Like Riley is a NFL QB coach factory. Manion? What other NFL back-up? Is he even on a practice squad???
You make me laugh...
Oregon St has 23 players listed on NFL teams as of Monday, Neb 27 as of mid Sept. OSU has 3 QB's on NFL rosters pretty sure you know the number of Huskers QB's in NFL.
Tommy is what he is...and that is a 2-4 quarterback, unless he has Ameer who was a superstar to take the pressure off him. We don't have Ameer. I have zero doubts that POB will start game one next season, and that we will not be 2-4. I would have guaranteed POB as much today.
Shows the complete ignorance of many on this board. Riley can flat out develop players, that's a fact. Now let's see what he can do with players he can being into a football school.
While I would normally agree, Tommy at QB for another year scares me. Other teams have gotten away with starting true frosh QBs without ruining seasons. Besides Tommy chucking it deep missing check downs all game any different?
Which Qbs? Manion? The scrub from Tampa who backs up Winston? Who am I missing? Johnny Unitas?
Lol!
At least Tommy puts us in a position to win football games.
People who bash TA don't understand football.
Think about a real Husker running game, to take pressure off TA. He throws off his back foot for a reason because the kid is constantly trying to avoid pressure from our porous OL.
Langsdorf. Sucks.
Do your own research dumb ***, he has put 3 guys in the NFL period, getting paid more in a yr then you have prob made in your life.
Tommy was horrible today. He was 1/11 during one stretch. He tries hard, he just isn't skilled. People who don't see that "don't understand football". Ameer saved his bacon the last 2 years.
The only call to make on our last 3rd down today was a roll out pass/run option. Sadly, our coaches learned last week that they cannot trust a 3rd year QB to run that play.
Tommy has always been streaky but last I checked we were up 1 before the choke job...
Yeah. Riley has made a lot of $$$. That gives him license to flush Husker football down the toilet. Real intelligent point. Taken.
Waterboy I was talking about the 3 QB's in the NFL, this program was circling the drain with previous staff, I will give this staff a chance to prove one way or the other, 6 games is not enough time to make final judgement.
If we had a player step up and make A play in any of our four losses, they could have all been wins. A quarterback is often one of those guys that needs to make plays to win games. Tommy is not a playmaker. He was 1/11 during a stretch today. That is unheard of, except in peewee football. POB will start next year....day one.
Tommy didn't call 3 running plays into the guts of a stacked defense to end the game, offensively.
Langsdorf did.
Ameer was one of the top 5 running backs of all time. He is the basically the sole reason we were over .500 the last couple years....and he is gone.
Too early to tell. I don't give a **** about 9 wins I don't. I care about playing good football without an embarrassment on the sideline. I am not saying MR is the answer but I am confident he is a better overall coach than BO. He had a crap run d and that has been cleaned up and we have the wrong db's in place right now. Give Riley a chance.
Come on. It might not have been the right call, but if they would have thrown an incompletion and given Whisky another 30 seconds and won you would be hammering them for that too.
