Seriously, why are you surprised? This is the best QB Nebraska has been in on since the Osborne era, maybe ever, and in the midst of peoples’ excitement, you come in and throw some cold water on peoples’ excitement. What did you expect? I’m surprised that this caught you off guard.
Dylan Raiola film
- Thread starter HuskerDana_rivals188993
- Start date
Im excited. I hope we get him. I hope he is everything that everyone wants and more. But because I said to temper the expectations people lost their minds. We have been down this road before with unreasonable expectations. That's all Im saying.
I get it, and don’t disagree. He could come in and light it up or have freshman growing pains. But the response from this board shouldn’t be surprising.
I would expect to see both (obviously).
his arm talent is something we've never seen in Scarlet & Cream. that fact is not debatable.
I also agree that talent begets talent, like winning begets winning.
it is not an exaggeration to say landing Raiola would be the biggest recruiting win in the history of Nebraska Football.
JFC. What a highlight reel for 1 season. One of the throws at the start where he is on the move and throws an absolute dime is amazing. He stands in and takes the pressure too. I really like that.
And Rhule needs to immediately capitalize with recruiting. Bo whiffed after Suh and Frost never hit it big when he was a big deal. Rhule needs to change that.
Oh, so you say something completely nonsensical but I'm supposed be the one to disprove it by re-reading every thread between mid-September and mid-October? Gotcha. Thanks for confirming you made it up.
10-2 is doable. But as a coach you already know your win/loss record next year … right?
I really don’t get why people act like we couldn’t hit 10 wins, other than historical performance. As it stands now, I see one game that I would say is highly likely to be a loss and that’s Ohio St. I see 8 games we will be favored right now and 3 toss ups. 10-2 is doable and Matt Rhule isn’t throwing in the towel, he and staff are busting *** to make it so.

Geezus. Of course this kid is going to have growing pains. Patrick Mahomes wasn't 12-0 for four years strait. So, I am certainly not saying that he won't have growing pains, @cavalot . That being said, this kid is not going to be a Spencer Rattler as someone suggested. Imo...barring injury, and just NORMAL progression you would expect from experience, DR has the potential to be the best we have ever seen at NU.
You seem to be in the camp that we would have been better off with the safer bet of McCord and DK. That's fine. I wholeheartedly disagree with you, but you have a right to your opinion.
Talent-wise, this kid is better than anyone we have here now....or anyone that would have potentially transferred in...
and that's my opinion.

Half joking. We hit 8 guaranteed with him starting. 10 is attainable, because he's gonna have a top 10 defense to back him up. We have a solid ground game that is going to have a lot less defenders in the box and we already have the receivers to take the top out.
I'm a run the damn ball guy. And we will still need to run the ball. I scoff at coordinators who come in here and decide to pass it over 40 percent of the time. I never thought we would have an opportunity at a QB like DR. With him I won't blink if it's 50/50
What is "allusive"? Like, he does not allude to things as much as Spencer Rattler? I don't know that I'm familiar with these allusions, or how they are measured. Who would be an example of a very allusive quarterback?
At least for the first portion of the meat of the schedule, I would certainly expect the staff to really rely heavily on the run. While DR is still getting his feet wet, his arm alone opens up the run game, though.
I love HH because of the grit and heart that kid has. That's what made him a leader. He just doesn'thave....nor will he ever have the tools that DR has. DR completely changes how you have to prepare defensively....even early on.
I am certainly not going to put out a bold prediction on record next year. I still think that EVEN LAST year, if this kid was behind center, NU would have had 7-8 wins instead of five.

Which All American teams did Anthony Richardson make last year on his way to being a top 5 pick?
Most of us don’t know much evaluating QBs. Multiple national guys who I think do know, say he’s a huge talent. The one thing that is really tough to evaluate from high school video is the decision making and ability to read defenses. His dad had a ver high football IQ. Let’s hope Dylan inherited some of that.
Saying a kid that had 34 TD to 1 INT his Senior year of HS “is prone to mistakes against HS competition”, is certainly……..interesting.
Also playing in an extremely talent rich stste. He didn't do this playing in class a ball in Idaho or somewhere similar.....
Cavalots QB had 40 TD’s and 90% completion with 1 pick - which hit off the receiver’s numbers and bounced in the air only to be picked off. Of course that was when they were up 35-0 - could have never happened when the game was on the line because they don’t make mistakes. They play really good football there.
With the new clock rules and how deliberate our offense is it might be tough to break records for yardage.
He’s 6-2 and 235 lbs as an 18 year old. I don’t think he has to be super elusive. He’ll figure things out.
Bo whiffed AFTER Suh. Meaning he didn't capitalize recruiting wise on Suh's mega giant huge year he had PLAYING UNDER BO.
I didn't know David played DT
Bo recruited unevenly, is the point. Nebraska's DL by 2011 wasn't very good and guys like Baker Steinkuhler and Cam Meredith were being played out of position. Bo did get Collins, Valentine and Gregory, but by that time there were no more Lavonte Davids on the second level and THAT part of the D struggled. Etc.
Yeah, I know that. He failed to capitalize on his success. A good recruiter would have had good dt's lining up after Suh.
Georgia fans coping mechanism is saying they and the coaches like Puglisi more. He played in Connecticut lol
I wouldn't call David capitalizing on Suh when David practically had to beg to come here and wouldn't have been here if not for Yoshi wanting him as a package deal. That was Bo getting lucky.
Mo Collins is still in the the NFL
VV went to the league
David still in the league
Randy still in the league?
Was it 1 or 2 years after Suh that we were forced to slide 260 lb Cam Merideth inside because we didn't have enough dt's?
I like our young WR core with Fidone, but can you imagine what adding an experienced good WR from the portal this offseason would do for this offense with Railoa ? We could be a pretty damn good offense starting next year ..
