Dylan Raiola - Oregon Spring game
- Thread starter Bigred2467

Nebraska's conundrum is no decent player who wants to improve and make the league will ever play for Nebraska, and if we ever get a high rated player they are only here for the easy starting spot, which automatically means they are unlikely to improve and have the mental fortitude to fight through adversity. The fact Dylan chose to be a backup means he might be making the proper decisions to become better. It all depends on if Qbs actually develop in college or if he will just be a perpetual backup to more athletic qbs who have a much larger margin for error. I could see him sit out this year, fight for a position next year. Split some time and learn a lot, and then go to an SMU type of place have a lot of success but not be in the national spotlight.
Further from that, Rhule is a total cancer for anyone wanting to play great at QB. This extends even to his coaches.
not true at all. @oldjar07 spotted John Bullock in mop-up duty as a 3rd string DB at a spring game, and immediately knew he was going to make the NFL. An extreme eye for talent that old fart.
Yes, the hype-train for this kid has been pretty impressive; turned a fairly average college qb into a multi-millionaire without ever having to accomplish anything.
There isn't managing anything. You think Lanning gives 2 ***** about Riaola's feelings being hurt? He's not a NU anymore, so what papa, or anyone else thinks, doesn't matter. I also don't think Riaola gives a damn if he sits, the check still gets cashed.
Of course.
My point is, if you are going to hope for something, why hope for something negative against your team vs hope for something positive for your team?
Lanning has all the leverage since Oregon is currently one of the top programs.
Like it or not, Nebraska is at a ‘beggars can’t be choosers’ status right now.
Advanced level of reading defenses? Holy hell that is funny. Plenty of those sacks had to do with his inability to read a defense. He had his thumb up his ***. He has a good arm and is accurate under 10 yards.
Not sure how you can have an advanced level of reading defenses when you are a slow blinker . Thats Dylan’s biggest issue and not sure you can fix that.
You fix it by demanding more money and, if you don’t get it, you go somewhere else.
Have you seen his disparity between zone and man? He is one of the worst qbs in the game against man defense. Anybody can make throws into zone, but against two deep safeties and man coverage you have to have a strong arm and good accuracy. Also, you need decent wrs, something he hasn't really had. Just remember that his head coach called him advanced, but the same head coach said his uncle was a tremendous oline coach before firing him. I would say he has good arm strength which is negated by terrible mechanics in an attempt to be fat mahomes. Somebody told him multiple arm angles will get him into the nfl while he can't make basic throws to wrs crossing 7 yards in front of him.
I was super excited for the ONE fourth quarter game winning drive he executed successfully....against Maryland.
Nevermind the failures.
Nevermind the failures.
I said he was the most important recruit ever at Nebraska. Ouch - I’ll take my L and own it.
To be fair, he played with a hand injury this past fall. His arm looked better as a freshman imo.
The inaccuracy against man, in short windows, and in the middle of the field showed up against Illinois in his first year and never really went away. His arm slot is pretty bad when throwing in the middle of the field, works better on sideline throws and deep balls with touch. I just hope he gets some real coaching, somebody willing to tell him he isn't a finished product. He couldn't have had a worse situation than to come to Nebraska, play for Rhule and Satt, and have his unc as the oline coach. I am embarrassed to be a fan of this program because time and time again, when a talented player chooses us, they get the shaft. And I can tell you that the talent pool is only going to get much worse. Very few top talents in this region are looking at Nebraska as college options. That will be the DR effect. He was the #1 rated qb in the nation, played his best football in his first few games and then fell off, and left us to sit on the bench at a much better school. Nobody with talent is going to want to experience the same thing.
Embarrassed to be a fan? Then. Never post again go find some other team. But you won’t because you are a POS of a person who bitches about everything.
