McCaffrey
- Thread starter catch54
- Start date
I have a hard time seeing him elsewhere after Mario made it clear he is a QB and nothing else.
But I could be wrong and Mario was just toying with us all. But I don’t think so.
Besides, Isn’t Wandale supposed to be that guy?

McCaffery is a raw QB that started one year. If you want him to be a QB in your system, you don’t slow his development by making him play WR. Unless the long term plan is to make his a WR. And if that’s the case, we should have recruited another QB this cycle.
Logically and from what Mario said, I would think he doesn’t do anything but QB. At the very least for the first season or two.

McCaffrey kid is a QB until decided otherwise. Would think he is a RS ideally, unless AM gets hurt and he is judged better than Vedral.
I'd be fine if the coaches feel that he is too athletically gifted to keep off the field. With that said, I'm going to guess he plays QB in 4 games or less.
Feelings are so subjective. Base your thinking on facts. The fact we know is that Mario said he will be QB and until we hear otherwise, Luke will be a QB and a QB alone!!!
Based on our QB room #’s, 100% a QB.
What would be even better is that he is better than Martinez and beats him out for the job this spring.
If that doesn't happen yes I have thought this as well. I think he is too talented to not use him is some aspect. Maybe convert to WR
He's going to be a QB. Stop trying to move him.
He’s white. I think he’d be a good fullback or TE...maybe growing into the OL after a few years of S&C.
Correct and if he doesn't redshirt in 2019, that's trouble for Nebraska, meaning Martinez injury
The only other position he plays the next year or 2 would be for trick plays. I just don’t see them moving him to receiver and limiting his reps at QB.
Frankly, it doesn’t make sense to me not to keep him at QB. One injury to AM and we are down to Vedral. A second injury brings in Masker.
Do we want to roll the dice on the health of AM and limit his reps at QB? I don’t think so. He may be an amazing athlete, but that is something we have on offense already with JD and Wandale coming in... why roll the dice?

His brother is in the same position at Michigan. He will be a junior when Patterson is out of the picture with some highly regarded recruits behind him.
I agree 100%, until Smothers is here the huskers have very little depth. McCaffery has a huge upside.
Tommy Frazier says helloWhites make the best QBs .
Barring injury, find a way to play him in 4 games and put 2 years between Martinez and him. Then Sommers comes in and dies the same thing
I dont doubt that he will be a QB. I just doubt that he will ever be a starting QB at NU provided AM doesnt get injured next year.
I see Smothers as our next starting QB whenever that may be. Vedral and McCaffery imo could be pretty good back up guys BUT id cringe if we needed Vedral to be the starter for any extended minutes. Not so much when it comes to McCaffery. I think he can be good. I think Smothers could be special. I predict he picks up where AM leaves off. Plus by the time he starts he will have much more talent around him.
I tgink AM sets the table for us but it may be Smothers as the guy who finishes it off...jmo.
Holla
That all sounds good except for the dying part. Lol.
Smothers is a raw project in his passing game. Lots of schools took a pass on him because of it, and watching his film, it scares the living daylights out of me. He can def move though. A run first kind of guy.
There are quite a few Michigan fans who believe the UM McCafferey is actually better than Patterson, and I concur. IMO, Shea Patterson is the most overrated player in College Football.
