I'm serious. It happens a lot.
ever since crouch ran to millard north, they seem to frown on qb competition.
which doesn't makes sense because the running backs seem to work well doing it.
and I never hear then complain at all.
of course maybe during taylor and armstrong time they never had anyone close enough.
I guess I started this thread wondering why all the sureness about Lee starting next year. Has POB been less than advertised. I was bummed to hear Lee was in the early lead because I was hoping POB was the "Truth".
So each class has a leader, or simply he is tight with the seniors and not the rest of the team?
One guy has been in a college FB program for four years and started for two. Add an (alleged) impressive trip to the Manning Camp. The other kid is 18/19 yrs old and hasn't played a single college snap.
He may still be. At this point though Lee looks like a guy that has faced D-1 defenses for a couple of years. The other looks like he was in high school last year. Ideally your QB gets a couple of years to learn your offense and get used to the speed of D-1 players....in practice.
Burrow was a Husker Legacy as his brother Jamie played here. NU was the only school he wanted to play for but Pelini and Beck completely blew him off! If I remember correctly he was the 3rd or 4th best dual threat QB in the nation coming out of H.S. Riley made it a priority when he got here to reel him back here, but he chose Bucknuts
Well aware of all that. Sure would have been nice to have the option of having a healthy Burrow take the field yesterday.
Here are some stats of some QB's listed above and then some transfer QBs.
Some of these QBs improved dramatically in their last year or two while others did not.
Who knows how Tanner Lee will do, but it is possible for him to have a good year or two, even though he did not have a great couple years at Tulane...
Russell Wilson - 2 Star Dual-Threat
- NC State SO Year 31TD / 11 INT
- NC State JR Year 28TD / 14 INT

Fun Fact: "Brady narrowed his choice of colleges down to five -- USC, UCLA, Michigan, Cal and Illinois -- and Michigan can thank USC, in part, for getting Brady, because then-Trojans head coach John Robinson decided Brady wasn't good enough to offer a scholarship after offensive coordinator Mike Riley (now Nebraska's head coach) scouted Brady and made a push to bring him to Los Angeles (Riley was the only recruiter who traveled to watch Brady in person during his senior year, his dad says)."
