Don’t know and don’t care about him. We have issues and he wanted out. But to answer your question I don’t think he’s that good. I don’t think he ever liked to practice, and that probably doesn’t fly with Patterson.

Has he even played the last few games?
I don't care how poisonous his attitude was here (if true). He obviously showed up come game time & got it done. It's clear we really miss him.

Plus he only had one more year here so how much damage could he really do to the total team psyche if he wasn't "fully" bought in?

Not that good other than he was going to smash the all time yards receiving & reception records here. Top 5 receiving TDs if not 2.

Maybe he didn't like practice but he sure as heck showed up come game time.

Easier to stack up stats when your trailing from behind. He was one hell of a fantasy guy but in the real world he was no better than a number 2 option. And yes, he would be the #1 guy this year but that doesn’t say anything because our receivers suck.

Oh yeah. I loved Spielman. He got killed for NU last year. You see how Tom Brady throws the ball to a safer area so you don't get killed? Amart is the opposite. What happened to that freshman QB?

JD is a different cat...he is actually more interested in a music/rapping career it seems

That's fine, but to say he's not that good is a little much.

Yup. He sacrificed his body going across the middle continuing to get crush and kept getting back up to do it again.

I believe it was the Illinois game last year, but I thought he was going to get killed.

But he’s not good enough to start at TCU. Telling about Neb’s talent.

We have fans clamoring for a guy that can’t get on the field for a .500 team. That’s telling.

JD has a lacrosse scholarship and looks like he should have kept that. Less pressure and less stress where he would have ended up. He is where he is now and so be it, his life. In a few weeks, football will be something he looks back on.

can he transfer back to nebraska and have a nfl shot? he would upgrade anything we currently have.
I don't care if he doesn't practice as long as he can catch a football
