But you think that would have kept him off the field at Bama or Ga who could make adjustments which lessened his ability to block?
Bama and Georgia are stacked. He wouldn’t be playing there either. He still has great potential athletically but maybe he never gets stout enough to be a P4 starting TE. It’s one of the problems with trying to project what a kid from a small school will do in the P4. He’s kind of the same kind of athlete as Clark and Clark was a low 3 star without much for offers.

Always next year. It was a glaring issue last season. If he can't run he needs to be able to sling it down field or our offense will be no better than a wagon in mud
Can't let it go can you. You have no idea what next year will bring and neither do I, unless you have some super powers that you've been hiding from the rest of us. I'm done with this back and forth with you because quite honestly it does me no good, and is a waste of my time dealing with contrarians who don't seem to want to have an honest conversation.

I'd have both qb's on board for depth and health purposes.
plus competition is the American way, not communisum
and the Huskers are America's team.
For better or worse, so are free enterprise and open markets.

If TJ plays out the season like he did last night, it’s going to be VERY interesting to see how things ultimately shake out.

While I do hope TJ finishes strong(!!), I think we’re jumping to a lot of conclusions based upon a single start against a mediocre defense.

Bottom line is TJ has wheels which DR lacks. This makes us 2 dimensional instead of 1 in the running game. TJs running ability also opens up the passing game. More defenders have to play the running threat which frees up our receivers more. Being equal, TJ tips the scales in his direction
Mobility certainly is a plus for CFB QBs. No denying that.

Chill. You have to admit that a lot of your posts are very negative about the Huskers.

He has a fractured fibula that likely has an ORIF to stabilize it and this will expedite his return. There has been indication of any ligamentous or articular involvement. he will have a full return with no foreseeable limitations. if he balloons up in weight over the next 2 months then that will be his greater limitation.
Dylan having an ORIF means he almost certainly had ligament damage. Either syndesmotic or deltoid. Shouldn’t affect his timetable. A little weird they went to HSS for it…I understand wanting world class surgeons for a kid like Dylan and not just your average hack, but HSS isn’t exactly a trauma powerhouse and his injury seemed pretty routine in nature.

Rhule has such a strong committment to the Raiola clan that it clouds his view. It's obvious Matt wanted to win the game last night, but I really don't think he was thrilled with how well TJ played. The last thing Matt wants is a portion of the NU fan base that's maybe ready to move on from the DR experiment.

"But I really don't think he (Rhule) was thrilled with how well TJ played"

You can't be serious? So you truly think he wished TJ DIDNT play so well?

Every time I think I've heard it all I get proven wrong on these boards. I think you guys sometimes over analyze these things.

I actually think there's a little seasoning with what he said. When fans say they think the backup might be better for team needs and it is proven correct, it probably hits their ego a little bit.

I could go on a whole rant about how I could not care less if we never recruit another Nebraska high schooler again. Especially with the walk on pipeline virtually being extinct with the new rules, I’d rather focus on actual recruiting hotbeds with talent and take the onesies and twosies from Nebraska than focus on 5-9 players from Nebraska most of whom would never even see the field.

There is some truth in what you say but saying that aloud as a Nebraska HC can easily have your job in jeopardy. Just take the BEST PLAYERS you can get regardless of where they are from. Then hope like he'll the ones you don't get from Nebraska don't do well lol. That's your best chance at staying at Nebraska for the long run.

All I said was we play like we are in the red zone at all times because he can't connect deep lol

My view is that if TJ really balls out at a high level the rest of this year then either he or Raiola won't be here next year. If Raiola is the "assumed" starter then some other program will drop a huge bag for TJ (and a starting position). If TJ fits Holgorson's style better, then Raiola is gonna go find a program that suits his skillset better. Could be totally wrong, but MO.

Their passing defense is middle of the pack and their rushing defense is better than ours.

The problem for TJ becomes whether or not he can stay healthy taking as many hits as he did last night. We saw what happened when we had a bunch of QB runs and it usually resulted in multiple missed games early in the season.
Maybe I was a little intoxicated last night. I didn't think he took a beating at all last night. Maybe I missed it.

Either way I understand what you are saying. He still has a HS body. He will fill out soon I'm sure. Probably will look different as early as the spring.

Also what did he have Maybe 6 or 7 runs yesterday? I don't think that's bad at all. Like I mentioned before I don't look at him as a running QB like you guys do. He's a pass first guy who is capable of running it. I think the best things he did last Nighy was rolling away from traffic in the pocket. Avoiding sacks. That's huge by itself. Plus as a DC you HAVE to respect his feet once he's shown the ability.

That would be my mistake then. I know he was very highly recruited to the point that Saban went to Ainsworth, or at least I thought I read that. Point being, very highly rated and so far a total bust.

Honestly, I'm not a fan who gets all orgasmic when NU signs highly rated kids, regardless of measurables or hype. As far as I'm concerned, until they get on the field and actually PROVE IT, it doesn't mean much to me. I've seen too many 3* kids become stars and too many high 4* and 5* kids that never played anywhere near their hype.

Just look at Quinn Ewers and Arch Manning at Texas. Neither has excelled at a 5* expected level.
Ewers had a remarkable career. His stats are remarkable too.
Manning has been a huge disappointment so far.

Whose rush D isn’t better than ours? (Just kidding, sort of …)

EJ is hands down a star. His running last night is what won the game. During one run he made four—count’em, four!—jump cuts to gain 8 where there was nothing. Unbelievable.

I sincerely hope TJ is one too!! But basing expectations based upon one game against UCLA is premature.

Not with Johnson in the backfield. They are going to play off each other extremely well. We will need to get the tight end involved against Penn St but I have faith Dana will have something up his sleeves for a hard fought game.

Exactly who was going to come in and compete with Raiola. We offered a transfer QB and he bailed when Raiola committed.
When a team brings in a highly touted recruit, especially a QB, the HC is forced to play him Day 1.

You certainly can't blame guys for leaving or backing out of a commitment in that scenario.
And MR is also in an enviable spot when DR is healthy. He has to play if you want to continue to raise NIL funds

When I post an article from a devil's advocate position, I expect to get some incoming. LOL

If you can't introduce a subject where there's gonna be some passion and pissing contests involved, what's the point of having and OPINION board? I'm not talking about the 2nd team DT, I'm talking about the QB position with the full knowledge that DR lives in a lot of people's head as the savior.

Was he a 5-star? I thought he was a high 4-star. Either way, grossly overrated and underdeveloped at this moment. Heck of an athlete!
For **** sake, the guy is coming off hip surgery and played eight man football. And get out of here with this "at the moment" ****. Let him go through at least one ******* spring before you start shoveling that nonsense.

im sorry for doubting your son, Mrs. Nelson. Don’t take it personally. He’s playing an awful lot on special teams this year despite that hip surgery and eight man football. Clearly he’s not good enough to see the field in an offensive capacity. I hope he takes advantage of the spring to improve his standing on the depth chart.

I was actually going to start a thread about this scenario. We lose both QBs and I believe EJ is gone to the league. This could be a very different team next year and no more arguing about which of our QBs are better

Since Lateef is the better qb. Miami seems like a good fit for Dylan next year ro replace Carson Beck.
I think this kind of speculation is poor. If next year is anything like this year -we will need both QB’s. Whether you like either QB over the other, we need to encourage both to stay. We may not be able to pay both of them but I don’t understand being negative towards either of them.

I think he missed too much practice time and didn't really get to carve himself out a role. To be honest, neither HH and Carter are getting involved as much as we thought they would.

I never called him a bust though. I just called him overrated and underdeveloped. Which for his recruit rating, he is currently overrated; and based off his current production, I’d also say he’s underdeveloped. But I never said he’s a bust. I don’t even think he’s a bust.
