Well, he sucks.
But probably not "nobody".
There were probably people who thought Bauserman was a decent QB as well.
Will TJ be the starter by week 3?

Go back the Clarkeye board don’t forget to wipe your AZZ before you leave.
Yeah it isn't so much a difficult schedule as an extreme schedule. Five bad teams, the rest could destroy us. I think the type of losses will matter this season. Get our **** shoved in week after week, even with 4 early wins is going to draw some negative attention. If the team shows toughness and fights through a close win and we can get to a bowl it will make a huge difference.
Colandrea lacks a strong arm and decisive decision making in the pass game...most of his yards came on broken plays or roll-outs where he had one route option, normally a TE in single coverage who was wide-open. He is more similar to our old option qbs than DR. His turnovers are HUGE deal for playing in a defensively weak conference. He is going get destroyed once the big 10 schedule opens, even if he stays healthy. Rhule also has no history of developing qbs or squeezing out the best juice, he certainly didn't do that with DR, and his first season might have been one of the worst seasons in NCAA history considering qb play and development. Enjoy the season through September, find something to do on Saturdays the rest of the year and hope for a miracle Michigan-style.
Meh. QBs looked like I thought they would. Horrible wind conditions for longer throws. Coleandra showed some really good wheels and very nice touch on 2 sideline throws which resulted in a TD. Huge upgrade from a run threat perspective and I don’t believe we’ll lose much ch in the passing game versus Raiola. TJ’s reads and decisions concern me. Kick I think Kaelin could very well be an upgrade over Raiola.

Mmmm. Not so fast. The Raiola arm I saw last fall wasn’t any better than Coleandra’s. I’m taking yesterday with a grain of salt wind was gusting to 40 mph.
Nah, you’re a huge chicken little who gets left off a lot of party invites for killing the mood wherever you go
Love Coleandra’s run threat. Definitely has Chubba Purdy like wheels
. Too darned windy to be too critical of his longer throws. Wanna see more.Zac Lee was the real deal before the throwing shoulder injury. Tom told a friend of mine before that season the Lee was going to be the next Husker QB drafted by the NFL. He never recovered from the arm injury.
I like the moxy Coleandra has. He likes being here, likes his teammates and has that upbeat outlook. He seems to be a leader. IDK if we saw enough to say he will be the starter for sure but he seems to have the edge right now. He has a loaded WRF room going for him. Now its up to Dana to put it all together. If we can win 6 or 7 next year, given that schedule, in my book thats ok. But you damn well better beat Iowa and or Minnesota.
On the field, Bauserman was nervous as a ***** in church, but damn it he looked the part.I liked Bauserman as a QB
Zac Lee was complete garbage!
His shoulder had NOTHING to do with his awful decision-making.
The only QB I can remember in my life time that was vehemently booed at Memorial.
Zac Lee’s decision-making and lack of ballsack kept that 2009 team from a BCS bowl at the very least.
He was a botched-abortion every Saturday.
Colandrea's best coaching is behind him.
We needed the UNLV staff, not their players

From what I saw of Colandrea, if it’s not a quick pass, he seems to stare down the receiver and pat the ball while deciding if he should throw it or not. Not something that really inspires confidence.
Let me rephrase. You really thought I meant literally every single poster? Or is it more likely I meant, by far, the majority?
The center also didn't gain any separation against our DB's, but what do I know?
Tj needs to redshirt and develop.. I'm not interested in seeing him on the field this year unless everyone else goes down.
Does everyone still have that magical first game of his imprinted in their brain or something? I can't even remember anything from that game.. all I remember is the string of Losses..

Yeah, but I also remember that string of losses not being all on him. Like not even close.
he did nothing to help the team win or make those around him better.. which is a big part of that position.. you can see Colandrea is already making those around him better, just from his attitude and confidence alone. TJ should redshirt and develop this year imo. We did him no favors marching him out there last season tossing him to the wolves like that.. he wasn't ready then, and isn't now either.
It would be a huge indictment on our staff to bring a QB1 in and pay him and then have him ride the pine. Not saying that isn’t a possibility but it would be huge egg on the face.
TJ was injured and the offensive line wasn't good in pass pro but I still blame Dana for not being creative to overcome these problem s. Like I said before, I want Dlyan to still be here, not Dana. I think Dylan acceptably mobile with an NFL arm.
When is the last season we had a mobile QB who didn't get injured? The coaches will need to make sure Kaelin or Lateef are ready to step in.
