Sims to ASU
- Thread starter inWV
- Start date
I side with our coaching staff, which started a guy with zero experience and even tried Sims a second time before resorting to purdy, who was running the scout team (not by accident)
Chubba is from phx. Was a big time recruit in AZ. That asu didn’t even glance in his direction but are bringing in Sims should be telling.
I’m not arguing with you. Simply listing what happened.
I’ve learned that quarterback play, like art, is in the eye of the beholder. There is no through line that satisfies everyone’s idea of what “good” looks like.
I mostly agree with this. Sims looks the part, and showed at GT that he CAN play the role at times. But what he showed at Nebraska, in games at least, was completely different.
Again, both were terrible for us. But to say Purdy was worse (as the poster I initially responded to indicated) seemed difficult to quantify.
Sims LOOKED better than all our QBs last year, in my opinion. And then they played the games.
If he somehow figures out how to mitigate his turnovers, he could play the position still. That’s a big ‘if’.
I predict Purdy will end up playing well this year and eventually get signed by an NFL team. I watched a fair amount of his older brother at ISU and believe it or not he plays like him. If he’s healthy and win’s Nevada’s job, he’ll be better for them. He needed reps and partly because of Sims and partly because of his injuries, he didn’t get the practice reps he needed at NU. It’s one of the reasons Rhule changed the way he ran practices this spring.
I'm not sure what you saw in Purdy that makes you think that.
I pity ASU fans if they have to experience the sheer terror I felt every time Sims entered the game.
the same things the Niners saw in his brother that caused them to sign him. I know he crapped the bed here. He’s very athletic, has an adequate arm and IMO won’t repeat his mistakes much the same as his brother. It’s a long term view on my part. Husker fans are very quick to throw QBs under the bus. You give Purdy first team practice reps at Nevada and I believe he’s going to surprise people.
was literally gut-wrenching when he went in against Purdue
if Purdue pulled off a comeback, that would've easily been one of the more painful losses in recent memory
Which game was it where he went in for one play and fumbled it?
So the Manning brother who didn't have an NFL career should have because his brothers did well? Like I said, the tape don't lie. Done arguing Chubs though. We've got a solid QB room and not wasting energy on athletes who aren't here.
wonder if he knows the 49ers have another player whose brother was a shitty QB at Nebraska. then he transferred. then he was so bad he transferred again. then he switched positions.
I always wondered what the conversations
are around the table are like on Thanksgiving.
Does everyone wear theirbsuperbowl ring? They must rib him some.
Wish him well. Great athlete. Hate to bag on the kid but noticed after watching his multiple fumbles he could have recovered several of his own but literally got away from the ball because he was scared of being hit. Go back and watch and you’ll see it. I hope he can get that out of his system because he could be really good.
I laugh in this thread of all the people thinking he can just switch positions and go play defense.
Wtf people. No way.

Frost.
Sims is too aloof to play defense.
Not to mention his fear of contact and not having practiced it for the past 15 years like his contemporaries.
Equally, I laugh in this thread of all the people thinking he can play QB.
Against purdue sims had 2 plays. I think one was a penalty and the other was a fumble where he just stood there and let it get stripped and returned for a fumble. Sims is a character you make in madden, fast, strong arm, accurate enough....but with 0 awareness lol.
Suspect?
That's not how it's done on this "board'. You just make up garbage lies and go with it.
He switched to fullback. Option QB for Tom. Name escapes me right now. Damn. Should remember this one😡. Tony Veland.
Actually, that might be a good thing if we force a few turnovers from him.
Would we be forcing them? He seemed to be giving them away like Oprah and cars.
Good kid.
Hard not to root for him.
Things didn't go well at all for him here, but he was a great teammate and always kept a positive attitude.
I did 21 hours in a semester in college, and can appreciate the work and dedication it takes.
Wish him nothing but the best at Arizona State and thank him for being a part of Husker Nation.

He's a player that looks like a freak athletically, seems like a decent human being and teammate. He also had a complete mental, emotional, and confidence breakdown and seemed to want nothing more than to not be in a game or touch the football last year. In short, he broke. He'll be better at ASU if he gets a chance (honestly, he can't be worse).
I heard a college baseball coach recently say that he'll never get questioned for missing on a guy that is 6' 6", 230 lb that throws 97 but can't throw a strike. Howsever, if that 5' 10" kid isn't Greg Maddux, he'd get fired.

Looks good. Now trying receiving a snap when there's a guy in motion 😜
(Sorry Jeff, I couldn't resist).
Last year? It wasn't the first time.
He didn't want to go into games at GT too, got cut, and then suckered us into paying NIL.
