QB

If Raiola can start as a true frosh, Lateef can too.

The passing would be even, maybe better and we would definitely have an element of quarterback run game and someone who could escape in the pocket.

Oops, there he goes, sacked again

Railoa will never be elite. He can only execute from a clean pocket. Otherwise, he’s stumbling around in the backfield like a dancing bear

 

[BugsAreQualityProtein]

It will always start up front. Yes, Lateef would give us an element Raiola doesn’t but I don’t think it would change much.

This is pure ignorance… this is not on Dylan… this is 100 percent on the offensive line… this line hasn’t been able to stop a 4 or even a 3 man rush, that’s an absolute joke… if he’d have anytime at all to throw I’d assume he’d be doing a lot better…

Dylan deserves a lot of blame. He is severely lacking in overall athleticism. He can throw a nice ball once in a while, but he also misses badly on easy throw. Do not expect much from him.

To be honest I hope DR transfers to a program where he can actually showcase his talents. He doesn't deserve the absolute sh*t OL he's been saddled with. You can bet he could name his price and whichever school he desires.

Agree about the part where I hope he transfers. No legacy quarterbacks, please.

Michigan has much better talent on both lines, if Nebraska had that kind of talent, Raiola would look a lot better, having a run game opens up a lot of opportunities, Nebraska doesn't have Michigan type talent.

 

[4.6.3]

Good gravy we have the most stupid fanbase in football. Less than 40 yards rushing, and the usual mouth breathers are blaming the only guy that kept us in it. We have literally the worst tackles in the league. F-ing turnstyles

Again it’s hard to make any throw when you’re facing that kind of pressure… he may not be the most athletic guy back there but even an Athletic guy needs some protection

I think he’s a slow blinker

 

[Cjlemke21]

No, I think our line is full of slow blinkers… I’d love to see any of you face the pressure he has today and play better than he has

I feel you may be the slowest blinker around

 

[GeorgeFlippin]

Bottom line, as we all know, Michigan talent >>>>> than Nebraska. Have to get ready for MSU, that will be a rough one if this team is hanging it's head all week in practice.

 

[SuperBigFan69]

I mean, today the wolfs had a QB that can't pass at all and they won.

NU has a QB that really can't run but can pass really well and are probably going to lose.

So I am not sure if the QB part matters all that much when that QB is getting sacked 10 times.

If the NU defense just let up one less insane long run, NU probably wins this game.

 

[anon1765477286]

His pocket awareness and pre snap reads have to improve greatly. He's young and has a really bad OLine but if he wants to play at the next level he will need to improve significantly in those areas.

I mean, Dylan has to whip his head around to make sure he isn't getting sacked every play. A miracle he can then look down field

I agree man. But if you can read a defense pre snap. You know who to throw to before you snap it. Good interview on X with Brady by Cowherd talking about what makes QBs great at the next level. Essentially Brady said it's understanding defenses because everyone has the arm to do it at the next level.

You know how stupid you sound?Remember how pathetic we made Manning look because we destroyed them at the line of scrimmage? Do you think he couldn't make a pre snap read?

 

[cestrup]

I think DR is pretty bad ***. Our OL was manhandled.

 

[Pennsyhuskers]

Raiola played great. He kept us in this game despite the beating he took. Our offensive line is awful

 

[bmb81664]

This loss is mostly on the D.

We had a few qbs that could run but not pass well over the last decade and lost a lot. It really comes down to supporting cast

Chill man, it's only a game. I get it our Oline sucks, I'm mad too. Just giving my two cents.

 

[BigRedTed]

Honestly I thought DR did okay. He made some mistakes but I don't think he is the main reason we lost. I'm not sure Tom Brady would succeed with the way our o-line played.

Pro QBs have to use their head …and their feet. DR has a great arm, a decent ability to make reads, and snow boots for feet. NFL teams will blitz the chit out of him until he proves that he is capable of moving when pressured.

 

[Hugo_Stiglitz7]

I wouldn't be surprised if Miami throws $10M at him next year.

 

[RedMyMind2.0]

We are lucky to have Dylan

 

[BobVH5150]

Dylan is nearly as slow as Sam Keller and missed some reads in the 2nd Half. That said, he is far and away the quarterback. He worked hard to get in better shape in the off-season. He will work hard again this off-season. And he will always be a 65 Speed QB when the CFB26 ratings update on PS5.

If you are new here, welcome to Nebraska football after a loss. When we have a competent passing QB, people lament the lack of escapability. When we have a mobile QB, we all wish they could throw for 300 yards consistently.

Dylan is the guy. He holds the ball too long right now, AND the line was bad today. They'll fix it with reps or scheme. We'll see what "as best they can" looks like in a couple weeks.

 

[SuperBigFan69]

Isn't Lord maybe the only guy in the last 20ish years that could run but not pass?

 

[JawSnap]

At the game, maybe once or twice Dylan held the ball too long. Otherwise the Left Tackle was a ghost in the 1st Q, then the RT was almost equally as bad in the 2nd. Second half they brought TE's in to help, but then the WR couldn't get open. The best chances we had was when #1 and #8 were either out of the game or dropped back into zone... but if either we're coming, Dylan was in trouble.

 

[cubsker15]

Dylan is our guy. Got to help him.

 

[big red23]

Thus is called... bad OL play. Give your QB the time he needs and we win

I disagree completely. The problem was not Dylan's because he still had 300 yards passing despite the lack of protection by the OL. It's the OL that was the problem.

Since the line isn't getting fixed, and is as bad as it has been for the past 15 years, what do you suggest? Stick with the QB who can't scramble or run?

We ripped off the wrapper on the playbook when the game started. We got every break in the book on that first drive, and didn't score a point.

We got a **** ton of breaks throughout the game that typically never go our way. And ultimately we couldn't beat a top 20 team at home.

We aren't terrible, but we are a fringe Top 40 team. Like 9th best in the Big 10.

 

[Zeke Husker]

Adrian, Heinrich H, Logan Smothers, Joe Dailey, Jeff Sims.

I’d say we probably have opportunity to finish 6-7th in big 10

 

[TruHusker]

It seems that Dylan makes the plays he should given his rating coming out of HS. There are definitely holes in his game. What he doesn’t do is create something from nothing. Teams do not fear him, you just outlast him knowing he will get his 250-300 yards but won’t beat you with his legs. All those zone read fakes do little as he is never a threat to run or take advantage of what a D gives.

And for crying out loud, can we quit throwing the fade! We are so bad at it.
