What an interesting point. I remember when Zac Taylor talked about being able to read DBs feet & hips and knowing which WR shoulder to throw to. I don't ever remember hearing what you just described, outside the NFLDR seems to be good for about 30-60 yards of PI penalties. He throws it where defenders are put in a difficult position. You can almost add that to his passing numbers.

Meanwhile, with GA getting clobbered by Bama, seems that DR really made a good choice...
Think about that… as good as Nebraska has historically been… never have we seen Pro QB playPro QB
I don't get it. You mean a paid "pro" QB, or one that went to the NFL, like Vince Ferragamo? I also presume DR is getting NIL.Think about that… as good as Nebraska has historically been… never have we seen Pro QB play
Brook was probably the closest we’ve seen since Faragamo. Not really a fair assessment since we were not running an offense built for a pro qb until really 2003. And we’ve been terrible since then, so there’s that.Think about that… as good as Nebraska has historically been… never have we seen Pro QB play
You guys are comparing Ferragamo to DR? No comparisonBrook was probably the closest we’ve seen since Faragamo. Not really a fair assessment since we were not running an offense built for a pro qb until really 2003. And we’ve been terrible since then, so there’s that.
That’s not what the comparison is. We were talking about the last time Nebraska had a nfl level quarterback. That is the answer.You guys are comparing Ferragamo to DR? No comparison
Are you saying DR sucks?You guys are comparing Ferragamo to DR? No comparison
So, about once every 50 years.I don't get it. You mean a paid "pro" QB, or one that went to the NFL, like Vince Ferragamo? I also presume DR is getting NIL.
Yeah, almost as long as I've been a Husker fan. We've even had a QB who won the Heisman, and another that really should have, but he won Nattys with 3/4 of the Florida team unable to bring him down on a single TD play. Cool stuff, really. And Peyton Manning never beat us.So, about once every 50 years.
We did, in the 2nd half. It was about the same.Agreed. Can we get back to the first half of Colorado game type of play?
Yeah man idk, I'd like to believe this but I feel like he is underthrowing some of these balls. No need to place the ball like that if the receiver has the man beat, which they did a couple of those throws today for sure. I believe he has tried to intentional hit back shoulder a few times also today. So I think it's a little of both. I also thought he threw at least one of these balls off his back foot today but didn't see a replay of it. He has a cannon but that can sometimes be hard to control and might lead to trying to finesse it and subsequently underthrow.DR seems to be good for about 30-60 yards of PI penalties. He throws it where defenders are put in a difficult position. You can almost add that to his passing numbers.
Love the kid, but a good DB will pick off over half of those underthrown passes. Fortunately, aside from the Colorado kid, we haven't played against one. We will soon.Yeah man idk, I'd like to believe this but I feel like he is underthrowing some of these balls.

I know last game vs UNI, Dylan admitted he underthrew the receiver, didn't put it where he wanted to. I was at that game and as I was leaving, I told my son it looked more like Dylan underthrew his receivers on a few balls. DR is a stud, I'm not nitpicking. I'll take a few underthrows from a true freshman QB.
Over a million a year of it.I don't get it. You mean a paid "pro" QB, or one that went to the NFL, like Vince Ferragamo? I also presume DR is getting NIL.
