Exactly. I don’t really have a horse in this race either. I just don’t think trashing Purdy to build up HH is necessary.
Anyone Read the Backup QB Piece?
- Thread starter king_kong_
- Start date
Hell Whipple had a walk on freshman ahead of HH and left HH at home for one of our last away games. We won’t know until we see these guys in meaningful game situations with this staff.

Nebraska success hinges on how healthy Sims is during the duration of the season..
Don’t have a lot of confidence in Purdy or HH..Danny Kaelin can’t make it to campus fast enough..

the post following this, in which you trash HH, is just too perfect.
You clearly have a dog in this fight.
I mean, let's be honest...you did call HH the second coming of Tom Brady or some such ****
Posting a blatant lie is being honest?I mean, let's be honest...you did call HH the second coming of Tom Brady or some such ****
Not where I come from
I distinctly remember king dong saying that they would rename the Heisman to the ‘Haarberg’ trophy after his legendary career at Nebraska was over.’Emojis...how do they work?
When did HH ever ‘light things up’? He’s been largely turnover-prone and highly inaccurate as a passer. And he also seems to hold the ball too long and take bad sacks. But he does hit about 40% of his passes and breaks an occasional good run. And yet, it’s hard to say that Purdy has been any better.
Sims better stay healthy is all I’m saying
I have never trashed HH regardless of how many times you say it. Every single person I’ve heard or read who has watched HH practice has said that he needs to work on his accuracy. That’s not trashing a kid.
"Hell Whipple had a walk on freshman ahead of HH and left HH at home for one of our last away games."
do you know if he was hurt? why bring this up except to trash him? you don't know anything about this situation and are merely speculating in order to further your obvious agenda. not to mention the fact you rail about how ****** a coach Whip was.
it's not trashing a kid to post his stats and observe his weak arm - all I do with purdy since the very first pass I saw him attempt 2 spring games ago.
facts are facts, regardless of how they stack up against your feelings.

King Kong, why do you like Haarberg so much?
(I'm not asking that in a negative connotation.)
I'm curious if you know him or if you have connection to his family? Or do you just like his potential?

6'5", 240lb kid with elite athleticism (fastest QB on the roster) and a huge arm
small town NE kid from a military family who was overlooked and poo poo'd by the @dinglefritzs of the world his entire life
in his first ever interview as a true frosh he essentially called AM a ***** & said there are zero excuses for ever losing in Memorial Stadium (40+mph gales blowing as he threw the game winning TD)
I have no idea what's not to like. this kid broke the Husker fan favorite mold. potential through the stratosphere. didn't take long for Rhule & Satt to notice what I have for 3 years.
I do hope HH is the backup. I’ve seen purdy in live game action and he sucked donkey Kong balls
In fact Purdy did have an injury. You’ve called Purdy “trash” as I recall. The comment on HH getting left home was in part a response to somebody’s comment about Whipple.
Where do you get that HH is the fastest QB on the roster. Rhule has said Sims has run 4.5. I doubt HH runs a 4.4.
In the spring Haarberg was the fastest QB, per Rhule, by MPH
Yes, Sims and purdy both ran
Sorry. Didn’t read or hear that anywhere but from you. MPH is great unless it takes you 15 yards to get up to speed. Look I DO NOT CARE who the backup QB ends up being. I hope we never have to play him.
Yes you did
Posted several times
Here’s a reminder
spring game 2 years ago, kid looked like a different guy than the last spring game
Kong and I both saw huge potential with HH after that performance.
That kid has all the tools if he puts them together to be wildly successful beyond what anyone thinks.
He was 8-22 (36%) passing with 1 interception and a fumble. your memory is playing tricks on you.
The last TD pass doesn't actually count. Time was expired but coaching savant SF gave him an extra play because, hey why not? REAL football doesn't actually work that way (unless you are texas).
As far as kong and dingle's little tiff goes: I think dingle is referencing a post I made last year on the subject.
Before the Michigan game, in the "Synek: SZN?" post, I posted the following:
HH is last string.
Read the OWH story about the QB situation:
Synek worked with the 2s Tuesday, Joseph said, and NU might look next to true freshman Richard Torres if necessary. Scholarship QB Heinrich Haarberg is evidently not a viable option — “No, he’s not hurt,” Joseph said. Fifth-year walk-on Matt Masker and Synek traveled to Ann Arbor last weekend along with Purdy and Smothers.

that throw (in hurricane force winds) gave HH as many comeback wins as AM in an NU uniform
Didn’t read that. Achieving the fastest MPH isn’t necessarily the greatest quantification of football speed. How fast you get to that peak speed is extremely important. What’s his 10 yard and 40 time. Beside that, that’s the last thing I’m worried about from our QB. If he runs 4.7, throws an accurate pass and makes good decisions he’s plenty fast. Again, I DON’T CARE who wins the backup QB job.
I guess I’ll just say it. Purdy is the clear #2.
Haarberg has ball security issues.
Maybe things change…

Remember in 2010 when nobody knew who this kid Martinez was, thought captain incapable zac lee would be starter or Cody green.
fair enough, but stats don't always tell the story.
At least HH shows flashes of something, enough to be praised by the coaching staff and has so far avoided any backhanded compliments
Hope you had fun at practice!
It’s fun to go. I went to a closed practice under pelini once (said I was a coach, knew a guy in the recruiting office).
It was pretty hectic to say the least
But let's not revise history Nikki. Last year you were having a pissing contest with kong and I as you were singing the praises of how great Purdy was.
