Makes sense. SF is a cocky price. Tommie is a drunkass prick. Other quarterbacks we've had here have been somewhere in between, but they didn't win natty. Let's go get us the biggest jerk in the portal. I hope Miles Brennan is an a$$hole.

Brady isn't Mr. Nice on the football field. He will chew *** if a WR isn't running a route correctly, as one simple example.

and your reply to that is.....

So is it coaching or is it the QB being a prick on the field?

Do you watch NFL football? Brady gets mad quite often. The guy is like having a coach on the field with you.

back when tressel or urban was paying players under the table, they would take the humiliation of the bench splinters or getting kicked in the nads by coaches, who were the pricks, not the qb....
meanwhile frost would be reading bible verses bout fair weights and scales...and abiding by the laws of the land.

so there was a imbalance....
but NIL is changing that for high school kids and bench warmers..it's no longer a ride the bench or die for cash situation. it's now legal to pay players...

Really like Whipple's press conference. He freakin knows everybody who is somebody in the league it seems. He knows what's going on. We're going to be a much better team next year.

There is the story about the 1989 Super Bowl when the 49ers needed a 92 yard TD drive to win with three minutes to go. Montana was standing with his offense on the sideline right before they took the field and the offensive guys were all spun up and worried they were going to lose the game. Montana said hey, check it out, that's John Candy standing up there by the exit ramp. It was as if he didn't have a care in the world, it rubbed off and they scored the TD to win.

That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. It can't be that some guys have both talent, drive, and the ability to make plays under pressure regardless of personality. No, of course not.

I figured Whipple was referring to Scott Frost upon meeting him in person shortly after he was interviewed and hired by Trev 😉

Kickers suck, so I side with Herb on this one.

That quote didn't just tumble out of his mouth by random or as a bit of trivia for the day. It's explaining why we have an opening for starting QB this season.

Looks like Whipple came in here with his eyes wide open and has identified one of the huge issues this team has -- a grand canyon sized hole in leadership on the offensive side of the ball.

Which is almost certainly why he's choosing to ride with Smothers or a transfer vs. a 5th year starting senior.

Prick as in towards teammates not always "Oh, it's okay buddy"

Mark Whipple is a massive upgrade over the financial advisor. Not even close. Can't wait

If great Quarterbacks are pricks, I think my mother in law has 4 years of eligibility left.

Your new OC can say what he wants but the proof of his worth is the W’s and L’s. Being a prick or not does not have anything to do with being a very good Qb. But it is a good distraction to bring that up.
The portal is a must for Nebraska this year.
Hopefully Whipple will make a difference in getting some offensive talent to come to Nebraska. Team unity and pulling together is going to be critical .

Why does Whipple need to make a distraction?
