Let's see what he can do behind a quality O line, with skill players who have elite speed. I hope he does well. From what I saw, he does need to stop floating his passes and throw dimes. Good luck young man!......

I still believe the throwing hand injury he had at the start of the season affected him more than most realize.

DR needs five seconds and a completely clean pocket.
When you get in to B1G conference play, you’re facing some very good DCs and defenses. Couple that with our weakness at RT and it’s not surprising he struggled at times. He was only a sophomore. He had played in what, less than 20 P4 games? Our expectations may have been out of line for a 19-20 year old QB. I expect him to improve with more experience.

There's also no point in downplaying his performances. Take away Dylan and we get absolutely dogwalked vs Michigan, similar to what happened in the last 3 games without him when we couldn't line up and run the ball much.
Oh for ***** sake, Dylan was a difference maker? That is pretty damn funny. I can play your stupid game too; we would have lost to UCLA of Dylan was qb. We got one more win with him on the sideline. His “performances” were majorly lacking, particularly relative to the hype and money.

Unprovable hypothesis is what makes a message board go around.

Yep…all of the armchair experts were so ready to dump Dylan 4 games into the season…Well, the last three games were a great object lesson of what happens when they get their wish.…now what?

DR was never the problem (when was the last time Nebraska had a quarterback at the helm with a career 69% completion percentage)…The problem was/is the interior on both sides of the ball.

I for one am sorry he’s gone, but wish him well.



.
Poor decision-making, poor leadership, poor mobility, poor pocket presence, can’t throw overhand, and struggles to complete a downfield pass. You Raiola honks are entertaining with your “see, we got beat bad in those last three games, never would have happened with Raiola!” Was he the problem? No, there was not just one problem, there were multiple, and he most certainly was a problem.

..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.
I know people get worked up about it but this is just like almost all of us.

I love my job and the place I work at but I still look at other opportunities out there. Hell I literally just did a quick check just to see if there were any openings that looked good.

He had about half a second on almost every pass play vs Michigan and completed 30 passes. The ability of people to completely fabricate reality is really something. He was bad against Minnesota. He was so-so against cincy. He still was a decent player and by miles, our best QB.
Half a second? That is really bad, I’m glad you aren’t fabricating reality. He was a big guy with a good arm who was pretty accurate on passes under 10 yards. That’s it. Not good enough, and if he was the best qb, which is arguable because he was so limited, it would be by a couple feet, to a true freshman with minimal snaps.

He was accurate on most passes 20 yards too. Just didnt pull the trigger on many. He will do well at Oregon. Can we move on now? He gone. No body used anyone. It just didnt work out. Parting was somewhat mutual in the aspect of we had to part with him to part with Donnie. Win some lose some.

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.
Grok is the most inconsistent. I don't believe it. It's not a well kept metric that I can find. But I know from experience that I don't use Grok for anything. General purpose Claude and copilot. Genesis and copilot came up with the metric I quoted. Passing only, no hand-off time. Take it for what it's worth.

I think if everyone did their job like raiola last year we would have got at least 9 wins, but then everyone wasen't a 5 star

in general, our RT struggled to get a hand on Michigan's DE for most of that game. LT wasn't much better.

Replace Dylan with another 2 million a year qb and we ____ michigan. Of course, if you waste 2 million on nothing, you are going to suck. That should never be the argument. Dylan was very flawed, not worth the money while the rest of the roster was thin.

Dylan went 0-fer his tenure here as an underdog

He deserves the exact amount of credit he’s owed for winning the games he was expected to and never really raising the tide or giving us a chance any other week

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.
LMAO

It’s unreal how media can spin things, I watched a video that someone compiled of all of Dylan‘s best throws the last two years basically stuffed downfield, etc. and then I looked at the comments and people are saying looks like a major upgrade over what they had. Dillon is willing to take the shots down the field instead of getting sacked or throwing for a two or 3 yard pass. All I can think is they have been really deceived not the school but the fans.

Actually, find it one of the mower accurate/consistent but whatever…post something you do believe rubber is correct and we’ll compare.

It’s conglomerate of the time it takes to get rid of the ball…pass, or run. Same as they calculate in the NFL.

Iget it doesn’t fit the narrative on many of the low football IQ folk on this board, but it is what it is. DR was not the problem this year.

Not entirely accurate, but I appreciate the sentiment

a couple have been able to answer the bell at times

Dylan being here or not in ‘26 doesn’t change my anticipated win total at all
