HH round 2
- Thread starter KingBlackshirt
- Start date
our offense has not exactly lit it up, even under Haarberg. He’s certainly improved over Sims, but it was against northern Illinois. 35 points. Not bad, but it doesn’t exactly instill confidence going into Michigan.
doesn't make your post any less of an opinion.
not sure why you're fighting so hard to crap on our team. it's gameday. GBR!
Not sure why you’re trying so hard to make it about our QBs. It’s gameday, GBR!
Happy HH is starting and he should IMO, but the fact that Sims was voted a single digit by his teammates shows he earned their respect, too.
We will likely need both of them as the season goes on especially if HH continues to run like our option QBs of old (which I love).
I can cut HH some slack in his first start. I also cut Sims a little slack in his first Husker start. When he did it again I wasn't willing to any more. That's 26 starts and eventually you either do simple stuff and win games or you don't.
With HH at the helm and Grant at rb I expect this O to start to develop the identity we all thought they would have as a grind it out, physical team. HH and Grant both want to be the most physical person on the field and I think both are hungry to prove people wrong.
I didn't mean as in fair to him, fair to be prepped as a team if Sims has to play next week.
Best to say the verdict is still out…
Neither has proven he is outstanding..We’ll see by the Illinois game if we have QB to get us to a bowl game..
You start out your sentence with no excuses for sims.. then immediately make excuses. Solid critical thinking skills ya got there..
For the record, my words aren’t an indictment against the QB position as much as it is the whole offense. I just don’t think our offense has shown much yet. I hope the develop an identity quickly. HH is safer, for obvious reasons. No jab against the QB. But of a jab against the offense.
That’s the situation we’re in like it or not. Beating a couple of cupcakes at home doesn’t mean as much as you think. It’s a start. That’s it.
I don’t think anybody does our QB any favors by heaping expectations on him after one start

a crap offensive line + depleted RB room (3rd and 4th string) + one of the worst WR corps in the BIG is a formula where you are going to need your QB to be much more than simply a game manager
Only submissive Nebraska fans would be crying for a QB (whose looked like **** on his own) to have another opportunity to continue to start vs a QB that played a clean game and we won. Only glutens for punishment think that way. You all are sick sons of bitches, I’ll tell you that. It’s as if your afraid of success since it’s been so long that you have any. I can’t help crazy people.
I haven’t seen a single poster on here “crying for Sims”. People are just pumping the brakes on anointing Haarberg as the next Frazier.
That's not actually true regarding the rb's. Grant was our best back and was only 3rd string because of fumbling in practice. Depth is a problem but Grant has proven to be durable last year and in community college.
Grant didn't play at all against Colorado (he was 3rd string)- you cant tell me that whatever kept him off the field the entire CU game miraculously got fixed in the week between CU and N Illinois
With how our offense needs to use qbs this season, we will probably need 3 qbs significantly just to finish the year.
What are you taking about whack job. No one is claiming HH the next frazier. People want him to start because he doesn’t turn the football over and gives NU best chance to win.
He’s the most dynamic rb of the top 3 with a ball in his hands and it’s not close. Doesn’t mean he has no other deficiencies.
Can you please tell us why anyone should listen to a single word you type when these were your publicly held and often defended opinions about our quarterback:
“Taking him was a mistake”
“Doesn’t matter if he gets hurt, zero chance to play in the fall”
You’ve also yet to admit you were wrong.
What you say here means less than nothing. You have no idea what you’re talking about.
It’s easy to understand when you consider the source(s) and their posting history with regards to our quarterback.
Really really sad if you ask me. Shameful even.
if true then I find it extremely odd that our coaching staff decided that our best chance to beat Colorado was to give our "most dynamic RB .. and it's not close" zero snaps
Sims and Haarberg are far cry’s away from Tagge and Van Brownson..
Not even close.. Give me a Van Brownson on this team now..
Not even close.. Give me a Van Brownson on this team now..
QB is the position that can make up for all that with just one dude. We just don’t have that dude. Nothing against our QBs personally.
The second comment came just 5 months ago during the spring game
If I was as consistently wrong as you I would never post here again
Astonishing lack of self awareness
To then double down is hubris out the wazoo
Pathetic
My problem is with mental midgets who can’t admit they were wrong & double down on their dipshittery
This rhetoric was easily predicted as you painted yourself publicly into your corner
You’re a coward & are clueless when it comes to football
The better Haarberg plays the more effort you will expel to move the goalposts against him. It can go no other way
Admit you were wrong when you said it was a mistake to take our starting QB.
And when you said there’s zero chance he plays during the spring game.
“I was wrong”.
I know you won’t even though it’s beyond obvious. You literally can’t. You’re too insecure.
