Raiola
- Thread starter Cruel Halo
- Start date
Glad he used Nebraska to get in-game experience only to roll out when he should be peaking in college. Classy. Hopefully a lesson learned by our staff.
He was never staying he had 1 foot out the door from Day 1 . I liked Dylan and wish him well but he and his family used Nebraska for financial gain.
Dom was literally shopping him last year.
..pretty much have to ssume every player has one foot out the door these days. You just have to hope while here they do well. In the immortal worda of Bob Seager, I was using her, she was using me. Neither one cared.
But I thought we didn’t want him anymore, he sucks, etc etc we are glad he’s leaving ? Which way am I supposed to think
I will disagree a little Dylan was absolutely part of the problem he held the ball to long he audibled way to much into bad plays.He ran into sacks his pocket presence needs a lot of work. Absolutely correct our line were horrible.
if he goes to oregon we will find out if his uncle and pritchett was the problem,
they probably know how to block

The OL was a major problem but did you watch Oregon the other night Dante Moore was running for his life at times. Every line in America at times has trouble blocking.
The only people who are going to be surprised when he goes to a big time program and commands millions of dollars, will be our fans.
well we know he won't be running for his life. not much shudder in him.
Dylan is the problem if he eats up 10-15% of your NIL payroll, especially when we are so weak at the other expensive positions like DT and OT. Emmett made like 200k to be the best player on the team, Dylan got 2 million to play little more than half the season and only play well in a few games. If the goal is to get paid, he should be commended. If the goal is to win, make your teammates better, bring glory to the university...he failed. Fans probably should think of him as a failure here, but an agent or fan of players getting lots of money and attention for doing very little, should make him their role model. He is an adult. He chose to take millions of dollars before performing any service. If his production doesn't match the pay then he deserves criticism and to be replaced. TJ was making 0% of what Dylan was making. TJ played in half the games as Dylan, and much less than half the snaps. He had 5 TDs, 1 INT, threw for 1000 yards on 60% completion. He also rushed for 120 yards. Raiola had nearly -100 rushing yards. Most fans don't want TJ back but if we could add an OT and DT for the price of Dylan, TJ would have been much more valuable than Dylan.

Did NU try to use Dylan for financial gain?
yeah, I got carried away and thought it was something else... I tried to delete in time but that didn't work lol
^^^ Doesn’t understand payroll versus production. Manipulate and. The problem wasn’t DR, it was the interior line on both sides of the ball. A retarded analyst could surmise as much.
.
Payroll is limited, it is obvious DR wasn't worth making many times that of any other player especially when we had holes on the lines. Sure, he was good enough but he also cost us good coaching on the oline because he wouldn't stay here unless his uncle stayed. The fact we paid so much, then had to pay his uncle and then people turn around and blame the position group his uncle coached as the reason for our failure is so brain dead. Our oline was bad because DR came to Nebraska and forced Nebraska to keep his family member as coach.

DR held the ball approximately the standard of most NFL quarterbacks (about 2.8 seconds). Do the research. The problem wasn’t holding the ball…it was the pathetic O-line play. Low info husker fans get it twisted all the time...which is much of the problem.
The only person who got a huge raise because of Dylan's play was Rhule, as far as I can tell everybody else in the program is looking at losing their jobs or pay as the program slowly implodes. He is a placeholder, a circus freak who takes the place of qbs of ages past. Nobody really cares who takes the snap, we show up and cheer regardless, and obviously the quality has dropped precipitously since most of us became fans.
I read for 2025, 3.35 sec avg, 4.38 sec under pressure. Both of which were among the longest in the country. It was a difficult stat to narrow down but both AI I used came up with the same numbers, doesn't mean they are correct. I tried google first for actual stats.
Interior line was fine on offense. Right tackle was a problem with Gottula’s early season injury. We didn’t have the NT we needed to run a 3-4.

Just wasn’t a fit.
I wanted it to be a fit. I chatted with Dylan and his folks and sister on the sideline before a game last season and they are quality people and wanted to win. His mom told me how much they loved NU and Dylan’s time there. (Dom was not warm and fuzzy at all - who cares - but mom and sister were extremely nice).
My brothers, Dad and nephews jumped off the DR train before I did. I kept holding out hope, rooting for him, despite my family throwing in the towel. In return, while I held out hope - Dylan held the ball.
Whose fault was it that we’ve been mediocre on offense? I don’t claim to know the exact answer, am curious to watch him at Oregon. I think it will answer some questions for sure. All these things contributed some, we just don’t know how much at this point:
1. Horrible OL. (Ironic the OL was horrible possibly because of him - Uncle keeping his job because of DR).
2. WR’s not getting separation
3. DR holding the ball too long. Too conservative in throwing decisions (take the easy 4-8 yard gimme
4. DH abandoning the run game too soon in games
5. DR audible out of plays too often (likely less rope to do this at a top 5 program)
I’m not rooting for or against him in ‘26, but I am intrigued to see if any of these questions get answered - because NU needs to FIX the issues beyond just DR’s. Bringing in Geep should be a significant improvement (hopefully). Now let’s get some WR’s who can separate better as well

Per Grok:
2.89 seconds was Dylan Raiola’s average time to throw (the time the the ball was held after the snap, before passing, or handing off).
You all are letting your hate/feeble memory cloud your judgment.

Wait, handing off is factored into that number? Seems highly skewed. Full disclosure, I don't know that level of detail as that's one stat I've never really dug that deep into before. So, maybe that's how it's always calculated, but I would seriously seriously doubt it. Handoffs have zero to do with how long a QB holds onto the ball.
By October, none of the Raiola is a bad QB crowd will admit to ever thinking such a thing.
Just to be clear, there's a difference between thinking "Raiola is a bad QB" and thinking he wasn't worth all that it appeared to cost NU. Both monetarily and sacrificially. Big difference.
Yep. The line sucked while he was here and Dylan struggled. And the older, experienced Raiola will be much improved playing with experience as well as in a much better program.
There's a third group in there in between. But I am saying the "Dylan sucks" group will be disappearing sooner or later.
You calling everyone stupid and then you include his “time to hand off” is counting in your average? Seriously?

Yeah, I think he kinda slid that in at the end hoping nobody would notice.
