SF Owes McKenzie Milton Millions

Often true of a team's QB. I've said it for 2 years. Our number one deficiency is QB. It's too bad that Milton wouldn't leave Florida. Milton is a very accurate QB who has had no more time than Adrian had at Illinois and Milton's receivers are covered but getting hit in stride where only they can catch it.
You don't know that. Frost thought he had that guy in Martinez. He was wrong. We've got to put passing accuracy at the top of the list when we're recruiting dual threat QBs. You can have both.
Do you know he did. I love that people think it wouldn't have come out. Darn right SF was wrong, he knew what he had and didn't go get another option, huge failure
He's tried to recruit multiple QBs the last 3 years. He offered guys that went to good power 5 programs. Luke was not his first choice nor was Haarberg. I'm not sure about Smothers but I know we had offered other guys. Recruiting top QBs to a losing program with a true freshman starter is a tough sale. On top of that, recruiting QBs is a crap shoot. How many top 4star QBs has Harbaugh signed and how has that worked out for him?
None of us have any way of proving or disproving how hard Frost tried to get Milton to come to Nebraska. I know what I've been told. His Mayo Clinic surgeons say it's a miracle that he's even walking without a limp. IF Frost had landed him and he never played people would be bitching about blowing a scholarship on a cripple.

If I was a NFL GM I would use a 5 or 6 round pick on Milton. Even if I had a great QB I would still draft him as he is a great team player and would be a great back up. If a team who didn't have a great quarterback drafted him, he could surprise some people. Smart and accurate are the two best qualities of a NFL quarterback.

With the injury he had I kind of doubt he'll get drafted depending of course on how the season goes. The NFL hates damaged goods. I love watching him play. Gamer.
Man, just watching a couple games this weekend. I can’t believe what I perceive to be the talent disparity between the top teams and us. We are no where close to a top 10 team. Speed, Accuracy, Discipline, all seem to be below par. Now the question that is debatable I supposed is …… Is it recruiting, development or both. No matter what it falls on the staff. Hell, I don’t even enjoy watching the best teams because it reminds me of how far off we are.
I don't know. I didn't think FSU's O line played any better than ours. Their starting QB sure screwed up a fair amount and their center had multiple bad snaps in the game. Milton was a difference maker for FSU. We need our QB to play like that and we would be just fine on offense. Oh yeah, they missed a chip shot field goal in OT.
Dont disagree completely but I would say the competition level may have had a lot to do with it. But the speed is glaring to me.
If you want to see speed, wait until we play Ohio St. Good Lord they've got burners at WR.
I liken him to Kellen Moore…..Milton has an extremely high football IQ. BTW, I still think Moore is the best college QB to have ever played the college game. His stats: 14467 yds, 142 TDs against 28 picks. 50-3 as a starter. The 3 losses were by a total of 5 points. Got paid ~3.9 million over 6 years holding clipboards, and after retiring has since worked his way into Dallas’s OC.
Bad take. Milton is the reason they had a chance. After being down by double digits.
Reminds me of the peanuts gang going trick or treating everyone get candy except Charlie Brown he got a rock, Nebraska =Charlie Brown
It was a 3 point game at the half.
Milton completed 5 passes for 50 yards and had no TD's
He also has the hot hand in the forthQ.
Wasn’t his fault he had a bad snap, not to mention The Kicker missed a closer FG if they wouldn’t have challenged the pass…
I mean, maybe?
But how hot could he have been to have completed 5 passes for 48 yards and zero TD's of any kind.
Um no. I've said for 2 years at least that he's not an accurate passer. I've also said since last year that this season likely depended on AM pulling his head out of his ***.
When Milton came in to the game they were down by 10 and buried in their end of the field. He promptly hit a long pass with pressure in his face and continued to put the ball to receivers in stride while taking hits. He saved them at least 20 yards on that terrible snap by quickly sending the ball out of bounds over a receivers head. Their starter is a good run threat but Milton is light years better in the passing game.
Keep in mind that OL was playing against future NFL players - not future 9-5 employees.
Okay. They offered and recruited a couple of other QBs hard. Of course when you have Harry Potter's grandpa making the visit I'm not sure how effective your recruiting is. Put a former NFL QB on your staff as QB coach and OC at Nebraska and maybe we could get some of the top guys.
Been that way for 20 years.
Speed. Just flat out speed is our biggest problem.
Then again, watching Chip Kelly and UCLA run his offense against LSU was magic. He took a "slow on film" RB in Zach Charbonnet from Michigan and that guy is now NFL fast. They were executing at such a high and fast level LSU was lost.
Execution. Execution. Execution. And at a very fast tempo and energy is what has to happen.
I know, I saw the game too but people are acting like he came in for the second half and wen 19/21 for 275 yards and 3 TD's
He literally throw for 48 yards and no rushing yards and no TD's.
His first long completion was 22 yards. So his other 4 completions covered 26 total yards.
I feel like this is an amazing feel good story and I feel like there is an odd Husker connection to the guy for some reason but if not for the injury and the "connection" to Frost, no one would be posting about a backup that went 5/7 for 48 yards and no TD's.
Who? The only one they recruited hard was Dimitrius Davis. And when he saw Martinez running the ball 14 times a game, he said nope, not for me. That isn't the Oregon offense you ran at Oregon and UCF.
Go back and look it up if you want. They only offered Haarberg after the other guy committed elsewhere. The same was true with McCaffrey. I don't remember the names of guys we don't sign. I quit getting excited about guys we recruit a long time ago.
