That’s right. I wasn’t thinking of the bowl game. If TJ wins 2 of 3, coach needs to tell Raiola there probably isnt a path forward for him at Nebraska. Those are the breaks
Raiola, Lateef or?
- Thread starter konaki
- Start date
I think he’s a great kid. I just don’t want him to be quarterback here.
Pay him good money and convince him that he will only grow in Holgorsons offense and should stay the course. Its all about preparing for the NFL.
Its nauseating. FFS. Make the simple plays routinely.
DR came into college football with a completely different mindset that TJ. For example, I'm sure he and his dad had already charted out his path to the NFL. Go to a school and start as a freshman, improve your draft status and leave when first eligible.
I think TJ came in with the expectation being he would be the backup to DR for at least one season and maybe 2 years. I think with DR's injury and TJ's improvement, his expectation is now different. And it should be, the better TJ becomes the more he forced DR to improve his game also. It can be a win-win for both of them and possibly for the NU team.
For the first time in his life, DR is gonna actually have to win the job based on performance not hype.
In addition to the poor footwork, I can’t imagine he’s inspiring much confidence or leading the other grown men in the locker room with this tired act
Everyone can speculate. Sample size right now not even close enough to consider tbh. I'm on record as being a guy who likes a more mobile QB for the college game. All things equal or even close to equal in the pass game I'd go mobile guy. That said we haven't seen anything close to enough to say they are close in the pass game.
I know everyone wants to rush to make judgements or rush to be right but it'll play out. Do we hate TJ and want Dylan back if TJ has a bad game at PSU or Iowa? Do we STILL judge everything game to game like we have did this team all year? Can we simply let it play out and end of the year count up wins and losses and what u do or don't like and make a judgement off of the whole body of work from EVERYBODY??
We as fans need to relax and let it play out. We will know soon enough. Support em all and let's see what happens.

Not saying the team dislikes Raiola, but they brought a little extra with TJ under center.
TJ’s mind set could revert after a few quarters of playing against PSU’s defense. I’ll wait a few weeks before I worry about where TJ and DR playing next year.
I agree. I really wanna see this offense start to cook. He was so dang efficient in that game. Seems like a guy that really remains calm under pressure.
I’ve said it before:
DR is insanely easy to hate & it’s impossible to lead when you have no identity of your own
If he played anywhere else everyone on this board would mock his schtick endlessly (rightfully so)
He's also extremely easy to like. Multiple players on this team and the OC very likely wouldn't be here without him. EJ isn't here without Holgerson. Holgerson isn't here without Raiola.
I'm guessing the veteran players remember very vividly when we didn't have a qb who could hit the broadside of a barn the year before DR got here.
And yet we produced the same conference record with wins over better teams
DR hasn’t beaten anyone. Shrinking violet. Obnoxious, me-first coddled rich kid.
Hope him and his freeloading family members don’t sabotage the program.
I, for one, don't hate DR or any athlete, but I may dislike them at a different level. Never been a fan of athletes who try to make everything about them. It's fair to say I'm not DR's biggest fan, I think he's grossly overrated.
You bet your ***, he would be mocked constantly on this board if he were the Iowa or KSU QB. Just look at the reaction of the overall board to Avery's hair. LOL
Sabotage the program? Haha Dylan put forth more recruiting effort as a freshman than the previous head coach. The kid has done nothing but try to elevate our entire athletic department.
People trying to gloss over 2023 where we beat LA Tech, northern Illinois, Illinois, Purdue, and NW. Lol
Our 2023 win @ ILL is better than any B1G win Dylan’s had in almost 2 years
his worthless uncle is holding the program back significantly. his charity case little brother will soon reduce our scholarship limit to 84.
winners win. Losers pretend to be someone else.
Weren't they SUPPOSED to bring a little extra for the backup? Wasn't that the battle cry all week? Didn't HCMR say something to the effect that everyone else has to do a bit more
to help lift up TJ?
Not sure what to make of it but it seems to me Dylan gets plenty of love and TJ has gotten the same thing.

I haven’t put any blame on Dylan either
..who hasn't crashed on a bike and broke their fibula? ...out of all my broken bones that day, the fibula was the easist to recover from. No biggie. Especially for somebody his age.
I had a severe mountaneering accident with a tib/fib fx. I had 6 screws and a buttress to put fib back together, and 2 long ones to put malleous of tib back together.IF it’s just the fibula as initially reported, that’s a non weight bearing bone. It should be fine. I would wager he’ll be training again in 6-8 weeks. IF there’s involvement in his foot then that could take longer. IF there was severe tearing of his interosseus ligament that could delay return to activity but even then we see guys with Achilles tears come back the next season.
In the past, there’s been posters more qualified than me to weigh in on his injury. Some of them might even have first person knowledge of his exact damage.. Regardless of the injury, with surgical intervention the only thing I could see preventing his return for spring ball is a post op surgery complication such as a site infection.
I was back at work as a commercial carpenter within 4 months working 10 hour days. 1988. I was limping and was painful.
Apples and oranges for sure, but that was my timeline without today's advancements nor a training staff aiding my recovery.
As Dingle says, if just fib, he will be back at full strength for Spring activities.
Mr positivity strikes again. Goofy monkey. So filled with vitriol.
I don’t believe how some fans perceive his public image is how he interacts with other players. That said, there has to be some envy of his financial deal. Maybe even a few guys who resent it. I’ll remind everybody about how disliked Frazier was by many of his teammates and Frazier wasn’t making 7 figures.
There’s things he knows he could do better and no doubt Dana points those out after every game. That said, he’s still just a freaking sophomore. Damn we expect a lot out of young players. I was still struggling with getting out of bed for class when I was a college sophomore. I can’t imagine juggling the academic and football schedules these guys have only to be critiqued by a f’n goofy monkey virtually every day of the year. People need to look in the mirror and work on that guy for a while
Of course he has. You don’t think that benefits him? He wants to win and he needs dudes around him to accomplish that
I don’t think a coach can inspire that. My eyes and my intuition told me TJ is the guy they want to play for. I may have been imagining that.
I considered the UCLA game a tossup with a first time starter on the road. He was composed. The game plan was pretty solid. EJ shined. Now we’re headed into a hostile venue. Let’s see how the team responds.
Before crowning Tj the next starter let’s see how he performs against top defenses in pedo st and Iowa sucks
Feel free to name another Husker player who was out helping with what seems like every possible recruiting visit. As a freshman. He's out supporting and promoting other Husker sports. Nothing but a positive for our program, despite some people getting worked up about tik tok videos.

You can’t possibly be this naïve. Two things can be true at the same time. He can be a good dude. And he can also have someone curating his image in the most positive way at every opportunity for the thirsty socials. Unlike Shed Sanders, you can be damn sure every GM in the NFL is going to have a positive opinion of him as a person. The problem is that the football part isn’t holding up its end of the bargain.
again, we already know how Dylan does against good defenses (0-fer)
it's not like the alternative is going back to a guy who's proven capable of winning big games/beating anyone with a pulse
No doubt, the battle cry was let's circle the wagons for Lateef. It can also mean the rest of the team wants to show DR that he isn't the show, the entire team is.
Yep. Haarberg is still available.
UCLA was at worst a neutral site venue. Most people I’ve talked to who were there said the majority were Husker fans including a lot of people not wearing Husker colors.
So who would have a better chance against the PSU pass rush? and I'm trying to bash your opinion just a question. I feel Dylan would get sacked quite a bit compared to TJ. Lateef may turn the ball over some against the pressure Penn State brings but I feel he will have something Dylan doesn't have, the gift to escape a rush now and then. Yes, let's see how he does Saturday and no, I don't expect he going to light up the Penn State defense but I hope he does well enough to show he can be a candidate as a future QB with skills to move the program forward.
Kong constant blathering about Dylan and others remInds me of Charlie Browns teacher wawawawawawa
Your original comment was BIG is awful outside tOSU, I answered that.
What is your agenda now with some random tweet
you answered with "your opinion is wrong"
it's not.
B1G is awful outside of ohiost. 3rd best P4 conference according to actual games played.
Well I wish I could've just looked at the players and my eyes and intuition could tell me these type things. Unfortunately I'm not as blessed as you are lol.
All **** aside though I don't see how someone could say one way or the other. It's all speculation imo and unless u are in house I'd guess it's virtually impossible to say one way or another.
