He was probably the biggest surprise of the game after I saw posts here earlier doubting his skills. Other performances like Raiola and the receivers were expected. On the other hand I expected to hear more from Banks. BUT as always, performances in the Spring one way or the other often don't mean much for Fall.
Spring game time!!

A lot of people are scared to acknowledge DR is going to be the starter. Which is fine. The Huskers have mentally scarred me too. He's smooth, obviously has a big arm, and was looking downfield to make plays. Plays which he can make. Lloyd and Barney are going to put up huge numbers.
Team Shedar filed a police report that while they were on the field playing someone stole their gold fillings. Oh, the hue-manati!
Time will tell. I am not going to buy or sell stocks for him right now. I will make that decision when the season starts and well into the schedule. Till then I will wait and see.
we need to quit replying to the clown. Just report him. He gets his kicks getting responses.
had a couple of smart throw aways. Bubble screens on time and accurate allowing the receiver to get up field. Thanks for posting that.
even his screen passes are beautiful. Been so long since we had someone who could execute like that.
A couple of thoughts after being at the game…
Massive credit to Heinrich Haarberg. He looked markedly better throwing the football today.
Raiola was better. Not perfect, but he looked like the top QB. Honestly, with his gait, his size, how he runs. his number - he physically reminds me of Pat Mahomes. Not kidding.
I love, love the thought of lining Haarberg up next to Raiola, or lining him up in the slot, or otherwise using him like Taysom Hill. Let defenses freak out with both of them on the field.

I enjoy how Dylan manipulates space. He has that feel for the game, slides over in the pocket, rolls out, extends away from danger, etc.
That is HORRIBLE all-22
With that said, the WORST is filming tackle to tackle, which is a HORRIBLE gig.
HH was inconsistent with his accuracy. He got away with a couple of bad throws and had some other nice ones. Neyor looks good. Long striding big target who glides. He looks like he’s hardly moving yet he’s running by DBs.
I love DR's quick release. And I'm sorry there's no way to be diplomatic about this, but this isn't even close. There is no QB competition at all. Raiola is leagues ahead of the other two guys.
It's actually only on this board do I see people being somewhat respectful of the race. Everywhere else, it's DR. I reserved my opinion until I saw them in action in the spring game. And now that I have, yeah. Dude. Yeah it's DR. And I guarantee you Rhule already knows that. He's just not going to say that publicly.

IF it's purely on passing it's no contest. Haarberg though does give you a facet to the offense that Raiola doesn't. He showed that on one play and if not for the no contact on QBs could have picked up several more first downs on scrambles. Raiola looks like the guy but I'm sure glad HH stuck around as a backup because Kaelin needs to redshirt. The odds of Raiola getting through the whole season without an injury aren't great. We would be in big trouble without Haarberg on the roster.
One thing to remember is that the D was playing without multiple starters. That made Raiola's job alot easier. I did like the way he was able to go through some progressions and get the ball out quickly and accurately with a rusher in his face. Very poised in this scrimmage. We'll see what he looks like on the road against blitzes.
Still pisses me off. That cheap garbage better not happen or Hutch will be breaking necks.
DR starter - but I hope we see HH in several packages throughout the year. Motion into read options and RPO’s.
I don’t think that’s what happened. Another dad made demands and McCord isn’t here.
I reported him, but only because he's not any good at what he's trying to do. Good trolling is an art form, it's nuanced, intriguing, captivating and entertaining. Red Mick has become a caricature of a bad troll who doesn't care anymore. He's boring, and that's why I reported him.
McCord is not highly regarded. I gathered that from all of the NFL draft coverage of Marvin Harrison Jr.
Rhule also said White did not blitz as much as in the other scrimmages. This practice was to highlight the QB's and make them look good. The defense was very vanilla.
You can never take too much away from Spring games. It's always an artificial situation staged for fans and recruits. That's why the second scrimmage is the most important one.
QB stats from the game; combined Red and White team's stats
DR 16-22-1 239 yds ( 15 yds/Rec), 2 TD's, 64 yds Long pass
HH 8-13-0 163 yds (13 yds/Rec), 2TD's, 61 yds Long pass
DK 9-16-1 91 yds (10 yds/Rec), 0 TD, 26 yds Long pass
DR with the most amount of attempts, tied for most interceptions, tied for the most TD's, +3 on longest pass
DK with the second amount of passes, tied for most interceptions, last in TD's, -37 yds for longest pass
HH with the least amount of attempts, last in interceptions, tied for the most TD's, -3 for longest pass
The second scrimmage has DR and HH with 99 yd TD drives.
I'm sorry, but I do not see DR's dominance. Is he leading? Who knows? People want to see what they want to see. This reminds me of AM2 and the orgasms he gave everyone. One has been in battle, one has not. In the beginning, I would start with the vet and let the pup get experience. Let the better man win on the field of battle.
