Would you all say Sims is the worst quarterback in Nebraska history? I personally know it could get worse, because 2005 Season Beau Davis vs Texas Tech going 1 for 8 with 4 interceptions can still happen. Our memory is so short when things go bad, so it is always nice to be familiar with the past

Zac Lee was pretty bad. So was Joe Dailey. Sims to me is Jammal Lord 2.0
Even though he wasn't even on scholarship it was amazing watching Andrew Bunch start who legit looked like a D3 QB at best

The fact that you even ask the question tells you that he isn’t a very good QB. He made a really bad Colorado defense look good. His lone passing TD was a fluke. Maybe he is the worst of all time, maybe he’s not. I don’t know. I don’t care. All I know is he’s bad.
Jamaal Lord put the team on his back. He made some mistakes that were huge at the time, because we previously had QB's that could cover their mistakes with the talents of other great players. He was far more efficient than any quarterback since save perhaps Zac Taylor. Thus, Lord does not compare to Sims on the stat sheet.
Sims reminds me of Lord to the point that both great running ability but both are liability’s in the passing game.
While Zeppelin is obviously on another level. Rick Astley is clearly the one that is the outlier in this group.
The coaches have seen Sims in practice since winter conditioning and have been pleased with his work. The sample size this season is 2 away games. It is very possible that his decision making in the pressure of a game can’t be corrected. Jay Moore said kids can do the right things in practice yet think they need to exceed that execution level in games, which can lead to mistakes. Haarberg showed the way forward. Play within yourself and make the plays that can be made.
I hope he figures it out bc I think two QBs that are ready to win is better than one, especially if one gets injured.

Lord was physical and elusive, but you're right both struggle in the passing game. I don't think Sims reads the defense well.
Think Sims ‘injury’ was an opportunistic way for Rhule save face and give Husker Nation what they wanted (were demanding). See what happens going forward. Aka let’s see how bad he f*cks this up…
LOL. Man, I seen Elvis in Des Moines in the 70's, Michael Jackson in KC in 1974, I even seen Stevie Wonder in about 1970 when I lived in Virginia. He was still maybe a teenager or close to it.
Brian McKnight is a fairly big singer and we've been friends with him or 20 years, in fact, his grandson and my grandson are best friends and both are talented musicians at age 10.
When you're old lots of **** piles up over the years. I haven't lived a conventional life.
Oh yeah, old dudes… I saw Guns and Roses at the Roxy in LA before they released their first album. And U2 at red rocks when they film the famous Bloody Sunday video. Winking
.
sweet. I always loved November Rain by Axl. My son seen Bono in Boston, says he's about 5'2". (listed 5'6")
Compare the musical talent of our day with some of the no-talents today. Piss, I could be a rapper.
You and I could be SantaBarbaraEasy and set the rap world on fire, and I have zero talent other than writing
music and lyrics.
He's a total talent, but my son was blown away by how short he actually was.
I forgot about Brian McKnight. “Anytime” was a drunk listen for me for a minute. When you mentioned him, I literally had to play it and right away it brought me back.
Man what happened to him? He was big time for a minute. Not going to lie, when I heard the album “is this it” by the strokes, I threw all my old CDs out (including McKnight) and said “this is the music I’ve been missing all my life” and was basically done forever with 90s music. Still label it the worst decade for music unless you dig deep in indie or are talking about hip hop. Best decade of all time for hip hop
well connected people don't name drop like this on message boards.. you somehow thinks it makes you look better, when the reality is, it exposes you for your pathetic schtick.
The irony of this certainly isn’t lost here… you calling out a poster for their “pathetic schtick.” All I can say is LOLOLOLOL!!!!!!
Can't speak for others but I like hearing first hand accounts from back in the day like his post.
If I was in charge HH would now start until I see an indication of why he shouldn't. It's entirely possible that in practice Sims looks better but perhaps he just doesn't handle game pressure very well. You have to play the guy that is playing better in games. Period.
