not sold on the michigan state qb

Jonathon smiths system, is a very pro style, under center 12 personnel. It’s a lot of reading the defense pre snap and play action based I can’t predict the future but maybe Chiles wasn’t a good fit for his system. Maybe the system broke him. Maybe chiles really does suck. What I believe Chiles would thrive in is a power spread playbook that is simplistic run reads and 2 read play action. What we were running with DR would result in more Of the same from Chiles, turnovers and deer in headlights. We need to make offense simple and have a QB and RBs that can house it. And play defense well enough to stop mediocre teams running the ball.

heard he can't pass and is afraid to run. thats the complete opposite of what NU is looking for, after raiola. the Michigan qb for 5 million or old dominion qb would be a much wiser choice. what workhorse lp/rozier type back are we looking at in the portal?

No shot at all for the Michigan qb. He is headed to LSU

Chiles was horrid against us. I might just skip next year if he is our guy.

If the report is true that he’ll be visiting, Rhule must see something in him that impresses him.

He's not good unless we're going back to the Power I.

It’s not like well our choice of who we want lol. We’ll have to take what’s left and work with it.

The white kid who came in after he got hurt looked better. Felt like there must have been a gentlemens agreement between staff and chiles to start him again, because his play on the field didn't justify it. I don't care if he pays us, I don't want him..so of course Rhule will prolly throw 5mil at him.

Another appearance early today from Mr herky pretending to be Husker fan. Pathetic.

Jeff Sims 2.0

it doesn't make any sense to me.. you go after guys that win games.. doesn't have to have a lot of talent, just figures out how to win games.. this kid, loses games over and over again and somehow that is the guy we target? Matt Rhule is a dumb dumb, or flat out sabotaging the program.

...wonder if Rhule wishes he'd have gone after Jett right bout now.

Only issue with that is he would be another true Freshman QB walking in the room. It a no brainer that we need experienced QB competing with Lateef for next season.

..ain't claiming he could start next season right away, but in looking at our QB room right now.... he looks pretty good... and i'd rather have him than any of the rejects being floated right now. Hell i'd rather have Dylan than any name i've heard to date..

IMO if Nebraska gets chiles that will be Rhules tombstone, these coaches need to understand that if a kid is a turnover machine he’s not changing, Simms did ok at ASU but they play in the big 12 you can have your quarterback turn the ball over several times and still win it doesn’t work in the big ten

Maybe a true freshman has what it takes to see the field if needed, or is good enough to start right away. Maybe they don’t. I think Holgerson knows what that looks like. And if a kid has that potential, Thomas should be able to get them ready. But at the end of the day, a kid walking in out of high school is a bit of a bet in terms of whether you’ll be able to get anything out of them that first year.

Honestly, I watched Jeff Sims play about 4-5 games at Georgia Tech and watched Chiles 2-3 times for MSU and thought Sims was much better despite his horrible NU appearances. I hope NU can do a lot better that Chiles.

no shot? why can't rhule just meet with buffet and make it happen? or like tyson, mutual of omaha, first national and kewiet? (strength thru diversity!) seems like a no brainer, his training wheels are off and he can pass and run..

Ironically, he looked decent before he was really first exposed by the Good Guys. It was pretty much downhill, from there. He's TEMU Jamal Lord on his best day Dear Jamal Lord, China/TEMU, please don't blow up my wifi for tainting your name with this Aiden Chiles association.

He is a clear no. Not even close to what we need.

He stinks!

Rhule thought Jeff Sims was special too. Special enough to run off Thompson.

And when he is here next fall, you all will be praising his play when he plays well.

The guy who couldn’t play at FAU? Please Sims may have been a bad fit at Nebraska but let’s not act like Thompson was some sort of Heisman candidate.

Agreed, I think Chiles would be just fine if he's coached up. The problem is I don't know if our staff can do that.
