Chubba in the portal
- Thread starter Headcard
- Start date
I saw it earlier and didn’t think it was credible, but if Chubba’s Dad really is sharing it, he’s probably gone. Which leaves a hole in the QB room, yet again.
We ALL knew this would happen if Dylan signed with Big Red, which I personally didn't think was going to happen; however, it obviously did happen. Can't be shocked when players say f this I'm out when you have a star player like Raiola sign with you.
Huge hole. Regardless of what some think he’s a very talented QB with a little experience. IF Raiola gets hurt we’re screwed.
The way things have gone injury wise for QBs here the past decade IF he stayed he would have probably started half our games.
If it's true I can't say I blame him but I hope it's not true. Because he'd be the second best QB on our roster next season. And that doesn't sound like a bad thing to me.
Disappointed if true. Was the only QB on the roster that could fully run the offense last season. I thought he'd at least stay and compete through the spring and see where it landed him on the depth chart.
Now I definitely think we need Casey back to play the Mike Grant role as the veteran.

Totally makes sense. It’s tough cause I think he’s a good kid who wanted to play for Nebraska. Key word is play. Hope he finds a good landing spot and plays well. gbr
I don’t think we’re planning on running the quarterback anymore. That should help, hopefully.
Earlier this December Rhule said the QBs were getting hurt on pass plays. The QB is still going to get hit and hurt.
In today’s game, it will be very difficult to maintain quality depth at some positions, but specifically QB.
I’ll believe we can get a portal QB with his wheels and arm to replace him when I see it. Why would somebody with no connection to NU come in to back up a true freshman?
Yea, very difficult but now they have to get another quality QB. Two Fresh and HH not exactly giving me confidence for next year.
CT seems the best option if we're not looking to get in the way of the development of the younger guys.
Whatever. I’d rather the young ones KNOW they better get up to speed and get trial by fire. HH will be a suitable emergency with another year.
Onward and upward.

I’d take a flyer on Matthew Sluka… at this point it can’t hurt. Fits the bill, mobile, just one year to play, and seems like he’s more of a thrower than runner.
And why do people keep mentioning Casey? I don’t see anything that alludes to him coming back.

High 4* guy who passed for over 2000 and ran for over a thousand both his junior and senior year of high school. I’ve seen enough of him to think IF given starter reps he could be a very good QB for somebody. He’s made a couple of bad mistakes but he’s hardly played. Might as well right off Raiola today if we’re going to crucify young QBs for screwing up a couple of times per game.
He got picked THREE TIMES late in games to lose the game. That is terrible and is hard to excuse. Seems to have some talent but if we are to exorcise our demons we have to part with the turnover QBs. We both need a break. Maybe his next stop will do the trick but I did not see a winner when he took the field.
Best of luck to Chubba at his new school!
I'd be good with Nebraska taking a flyer on a 1-year QB who comes in knowing they're most likely going to be the backup QB.

Quality backups at QB is a thing of the past with the transfer portal. Starting to become like the NFL, once your starter goes down kiss the season goodbye.
