Is there an adult on this coaching staff? I get this is a contact sport, but why allow him to play this way?
Broken Jaw and High Ankle Sprain?

Not the point, they weren’t going to win anyway. It’s the fact Frost allows someone who isn’t physically fit to even suit up for a football game to play
I guess crouch had to be carried out of the stadium after a game he was playing thru pain in
That’s true but Crouch was playing for conference titles and national championships. He wasn’t quarterbacking a 3-6 team with nothing but pride to play for.
What's the difference? Playing hurt is playing hurt, regardless of the record.
The biggest difference is that Crouch was a winner who came through in the clutch and didn't choke at the end of every game like AM does.
AM is a huge liability in the last 5 minutes of any tight games, and lost games single-handed even before he was hurt.

That's up to AM isn't it. Some people are tough and have pride. Others quit.
He really hasn't lost a game single handed. Chances are high he was the reason there was a chance to win to begin with. I would look to Oline for reasons why the team loses.
Dude has his shortcomings, don't need to make **** up about him.
I do, he can’t scramble out of the pocket as effectively. His passing has always been inconsistent, but the usual Adrian scrambled out of the pocket when pressure came and tried to pick up yards with his legs.
I'm a big believer that you don't blame players. 99.9% of the time most of them are giving their all to win. AM might not be a hugely successful quarterback, but I don't think anyone can question his heart or will to win. He makes big mistakes at inopportune times but he is hardly the reason that Nebraska is 3-9 this year. Frankly were it not for him they wouldn't have even been in most of these games. Offensively what else do they have? The inability to win games is solely on the coaching staff. They recruit, develop and prepare each player for every game. If the players aren't good enough or prepared properly it's on the coaching staff.. People blaming players for the results of college football games is lame.
100% agree Adrian is a warrior! This thread isn’t about bashing him it’s just pointing out that he shouldn’t be allowed to risk life and limb for Frost’s career.
I think it was reported incorrectly. Like everything else on this site. I think he has a high jaw sprain and a broken ankle. Whcih would explain why he could do interviews okay but not have any mobility in the game. 
Not this thread but there is tons of AM bashing on here nearly every week. This program is a dumpster fire on so many fronts and yet AM takes more hits from the people on here than anyone with the possible exception of the Oline coach. It's college football. It is ALL on the head coach. To believe otherwise is delusional.
Cool story numbers guy, but how does he do in the clutch? Secure many late game wins when it matters the most?
Yesterday, the game was over at that point anyway when he threw the interception. Truthfully, the game was over the second they tried the 3rd field goal.
Dude look up Tom "Trainwreck" Novak. Played both ways for Nebraska at Center and DT in the late 1940s
He played with broken ribs. I broke ribs sparing once. It is insane to try and do anything as physical as playing center and d line like Tom Novak did with broken ribs.
Guys were always expected to play through injury in my day.
Yeah but they weren't they wearing leather helmets rendering most of them brain dead by the age of 40?
Plastic helmets came into existence in 1940 by the John T. Riddell company.
Playing on a high ankle sprain and broken jaw will not give AM some kind of brain death by the time he's 40.
Football is a violent sport by design. Most everything is militarily associated. Attack, defend, blitz, line, throwing a bomb, explosive this or that and other such language only illustrates the intentional violent confrontations this game was designed with in mind and is known, loved, and hated for.
I guess if people have a problem with it they can either watch something else or write their congressional representatives to outlaw it.
