It will be interesting as they’ll certainly bring in a transfer QB. I think whoever the transfer is it will be his job to lose. I don’t think Haarberg or Torres will even be in the conversation to start next year IMO.I hope not. We need competition to breed a serviceable QB and win the West next year.
Maybe he will go to LSU and lead them to an undefeated national championship while winning the Heisman.
He’s bizarro world Tristan GebbiaI don't see why he would transfer..he's paid dues, has a new coach known for developing a pitt and steeler qb, will probably have good targets to throw to, and did better against the iowegian defense then I thought he would.
he might not be montana, but he seems on course to do well
Why are most posters down on smothers? But yet think haarburger is the second coming of Vince Ferrigamo? I thought he did decent against Iowa for his first start yeah he had a couple of mistakes so does a lot of other first time starters
I wouldn’t say that I’m down on Smothers, I just question his future given the new OC and potential transfer QB. I think your right to be cautious about Haarberg as we truly have no idea what he’ll be like in a real game. I think people look at his build and think he’s this gunslinging QB with a cannon for an arm.Why are most posters down on smothers? But yet think haarburger is the second coming of Vince Ferrigamo?

Yeah I’m just as curious as everyone what direction the offense will take. Even though we hired Whipple it doesn’t mean will run the same offense he ran at Pittsburgh. I don’t think it’s a terrible idea though to go in a more passing oriented offense to attract better recruits.I think it's largely because Haarberg is more of a prototypical pro style QB. He has good enough feet to move around, but is less of a runner than Smothers. If, based on out OC hire, were going to move a little more pass heavy, Smothers is probably not as good of a fit. If we keep with the option and mix in Whipple's concepts, maybe Smothers could work better.
I agree I think there will be more transfers to come this off season. The upside is Mickey Joseph seems to be a heck of a recruiter and should help us secure more transfers and high school prospects.It would not surprise me, no.
It will also not surprise me to see another 5-6 players leave also that are frosh or sophs. Plus several juniors.
All in all I think we see a huge exodus when it’s all said and done. Counting the several that have already left this season I mean.
I'm sorry ,but he feels there is too many other QB'S that might take his chance away ,,So be it..He hasnt looked that good in the short time he had and to pass up on a better QB to keep him from transfering is crazy ..We know you never have enought good QB'S and if he's scared to compete,Its better to see him leave and thats just my thoughts on that!!I believe he will as I do not see where he fits into a more passing oriented offense. If Frost hired Willy Korn or Brent Davis he definitely would have been QB1 given their offenses.
If he had the confidence of Tony Montana, he would be starting for the chiefs by now. “You f*** with me, you f***in with the best!”I don't see why he would transfer..he's paid dues, has a new coach known for developing a pitt and steeler qb, will probably have good targets to throw to, and did better against the iowegian defense then I thought he would.

Might have to agree here, need a more proven passing QB for whipples offensive style, hope frost fuses some type of running into the style of offense, The BIG offenses has to run the ball someI believe he will as I do not see where he fits into a more passing oriented offense. If Frost hired Willy Korn or Brent Davis he definitely would have been QB1 given their offenses.
Very true. But the portal has changed the way kids view their situation. "I'm not sitting behind anyone. I'll just go find a place where I can be the man right away."Lack of competition at this position is one component in why the program is in the state it is in.
Which almost never works out except for guys that are already established as very good players. A backup at one school is almost always a backup everywhere else.Very true. But the portal has changed the way kids view their situation. "I'm not sitting behind anyone. I'll just go find a place where I can be the man right away."
Haarberg and Torres both have big arms. They both have the ability to fit in to a pro-style offense. I think they will be fine. I wouldn't be surprised if Nebraska signs Brennan and Zach Gibson.It will be interesting as they’ll certainly bring in a transfer QB. I think whoever the transfer is it will be his job to lose. I don’t think Haarberg or Torres will even be in the conversation to start next year IMO.
So you have no faith in Haarberg?Gibson no longer visiting. Leads me to believe they got their quarterback. If it's Brennan, I was hoping they would land Gibson, too. Short term and long term would be nice.
Could he switch positions and play WR? Seems to have good wheels.You would think Smothers would at least compete in the spring and see wear he stands after the spring..
