A mother never forgets!

[Bugeater]

I've never booed Nebraska players, but it's understandable the frustration fans have with a team or coaches, and some players. FWIW, and I've said this before, I always thought T.L. was a class act and tried as hard as he could. Sure, he struggled in many games as did the entire team, but to each his/her own when it comes to voicing frustration!

The internet is an ugly place. But I think things will work out for Tanner. Tom Coughlin is a QB Guru. The Jags have a world class defense, this is good situation where he can come in and be a serviceable back up for a few years.

Tanner Lee was the least of our problems last year. He had a few bad games but he kept on slinging it all year.

Joe Montana would look like crap with our teams play last season.

Lee needs to clean up his decisions, or make up for it Favre style. He has his shortcomings, but he looks the part.

 

[Redondo]

I've been called a mother and I can't forget.

 

[PeliniTheCrutch]

Hope for her sake Tanner never starts in the NFL then!

I don't condone all fan actions, but the more successful a rhino you become, the bigger the torpedoes.

 

[JohnRossEwing]

Hmmm, I wonder if she ever watched the games and yelled out bad things about the O-Line...

 

[BigRedPimp]

I think the bigger question is when did we start using torpedoes on Rhinos???

If you put yourself on the public stage you better be ready for the criticism. Yes, the team had issues they couldn't work out but TL on his own, threw a lot of interception he didn't need to throw. Isn't like he started that trend at Nebraska, he brought it with him. Mom need to cut the cord and get a grip on reality.

Just for the record; I'm not a boo-bird, I just seen the article as whining and a chance to throw a few stones at the fans on the way out.

Well, it's a fans right to boo, and her right to throw stones, goes both ways.

 

[Sinomatic]

Really no reason to boo a player unless his actions are intentionally poor.

Just chalk it up to the Riley hire. Kid was an interception machine before he came to Nebraska.

He must score really freaking well in non live situations.

Kudos to him for ironically being the only Husker drafted. Wish I could get paid to workout and "play" backup QB in the NFL.

Humm was a very serviceable back up in the NFL. You never know if you're going to get developed to your maximum potential or not. One day the starter goes down and you have an chance to see if you got it. Tanner is getting an opportunity that anybody would take. Good luck to him.

 

[oldjar07]

I think Tanner was treated pretty well here for the most part. Yeah there was booing in one game, but it was a small percentage of people and I think there were other things involved as well such as coaching or a bad call.

 

[SnohomishRed]

Good lord his mother is mad because he kept throwing pick sixes? After all the hype in the off season by the previous staff his performance was dreadful. He is just lucky he had a school to go to for one year and it was a P5 school.

So now he is lucky that he had an NFL team to draft him? C’mon man. Tanner Lee has the arm talent and measurables to be successful. He would have found another P5 team to play on if not Nebraska.

This is the reality of social media in our new enlightened and progressive age. I think you would be hard pressed to find many instances of any celebrity whose feeds are not full of hate.

 

[wkato]

Defend her all you want, she needs to move on. Throw stones when it happen, not eight months down the road. Be happy an NFL team picked him up being the interception machine he was. She should be glad Nebraska provided the big stage to show that he has an arm and now hope that he puts it to better use than he did here. All the best to the young man, hope he turns it around from the interception machine he was in college.

 

[nwualum]

I'm sure there was some social media stuff but a parent should know better than to read that stuff. I just don't remember him ever getting booed at a game. She may have heard an individual or two yell at him, but no booing. I sit next to the players parents and haven't heard anything, although I know there have been a few fights/near fights among players parents who get a little too emotional at the games.

 

[schuele]

I don't do social media and I'm not in favor of bagging on individual players. But what is Mom upset about, exactly? That he didn't transfer to one of those Power 5 programs where the fans politely accept a 4-8 record and are content to get thumped at home by Northern Illinois?

Her son's experience at Nebraska wasn't what they hoped it would be, mostly because he had a god-awful team around him but also because he didn't live up to the preseason hype. The fans weren't responsible for that - even the mouthy ones on Twitter.

 

[JohnRossEwing]

I don't blame her for being mad...I would be as well. But then again I am a hypocrite and super fine with being one.

"Dreadful" play was Bauserman from OSU who handed Pelini his "signature" win. The only thing "dreadful" about Lee is anybody condoning booing of one of our own players. They guy got hit mercilessly on numerous occasions and just got up and kept plugging away. Then, when things went poorly he didn't run and hide. He stepped up to the podium and answered the questions. The guy is a class act and people who booed him are totally CLASSLESS. There is no excuse for having booed Tanner Lee. None.

I do not agree with the booing but lets not pretend his play on the field was not pretty awful at times - 4 int's against Oregon - 3 int's against N.Illinois two of which resulted in pick 6's and the loss and yes these were his fault.

He may be a class act but he was not a good QB at NU and the previous staff did him no favours by building him up so much pre-season

 

[mgbreis]

QB is like captain of the ship, when it runs aground you take the blame no matter what. If your kid is a QB you and he need thick skin or it's going to be a rough ride.

 

[JohnRossEwing]

His mom strikes me as the kind of mom that got mad when students that made the honor roll got a certificate in front of the class.

EVERY QB NU has ever had has made mistakes with sometimes great players surrounding them. Frazier did. Gill did. Ferragamo did. Again, Bauserman was dreadful. Lee was not dreadful and anybody that booed him is a pathetic human being.

 

[JohnRossEwing]

Define Booing...Like, do you literally mean "Boooooooo"

Or, is it okay to watch him thrown another pick six and yell out a big groan and go "Come on man! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!!!"

 

[SnohomishRed]

Did you really just compare Lee to Frazier and Gill?? really - Lee as a QB won a total of ten games in three years in his college career. Lee threw 37 int's -

He was not a good college QB despite having arm strength and talent. Maybe he becomes better in the NFL but he was dreadful as a college QB - Bauserman was a back up QB who yes was also bad

Did not "compare" Lee to those guys. My obvious point was that even the best QBs we've had EVER made mistakes. Frazier often threw balls at the feet of open guys or over their heads. Gill missed open guys albeit not as often as Frazier. Bauserman was dreadful. Lee had a couple of bad games and made some mistakes in his good games. Lee >>>>>>>>Bauserman. Good Lord man, Lee is the first QB drafted as a QB from NU in DECADES. Time for you to have a reality check.

 

[mkbrkloster]

I'm not anti-booing regardless of circumstances, but for teams I cheer for, that threshold should be higher than at most schools. Did he, at times, cross that threshold? Yeah, probably. He might have even crossed it more times than he was actually booed, if I'm being honest.

All that being said, Tanner was much-hyped for an entire year and a half before he actually did anything on the game field. I'd feel much better about being criticized about our fans booing him had his mother given an interview in that year and half and said, "Hey, stop giving him praise. He hasn't done anything yet. Let him earn it first." I could have missed that interview, but I doubt it.

When you do good, accept what comes from it. When you suck, accept what comes from it. Taken in total, in the world of college football, being the QB of a 4-win team at a "blue blood" school (we still think we're a blue blood), he, like the vast majority of our players, was treated VERY well.

I would hope the starting QB for NU is better than a back up - why even compare to bauserman - except that NU played one half of football against him.

I hope Lee does well in the NFL, I have nothing against him however he did not get drafted for his play on the field ( results) he got drafted because of natural talent and the NFL coaches think they are better coaches than what he has had so far - They may be right. The fact remains he was not a good QB in his one year of starting here

Players don't get drafted for their team's results. When a QB throws an INT there are multiple things that go in to it and scouts saw plenty of problems with our O line to excuse some of the results. A good record may help but a QB gets drafted by exhibiting an ability to operate in this case a pro-style system, make the reads and most importantly MAKE THE THROWS. Lee can in fact do all that. IF Lee was "not a good QB" as you suggest, he wouldn't get drafted. IF you get drafted, you're a stud. Period. That isn't a guarantee that you'll be successful but IF you get drafted you are one of the top 5-10% of all D-1 college football QBs. Think about that for a minute before you trash the guy any more.

at least 1 of those Oregon interceptions were on Morgan and one was on the TE that got shoved back into Lee as he was throwing. 2/3 of Lee's interceptions were while being hit or off receivers' hands.

So happy for Tanner and his family. It will be fun to see how he learns and grows. He’s resilient. He’s got grit. He works hard. He gets up when he’s knocked down. Those qualities will serve him well...in football and in life.

I hope he slays it!

Go get ‘em, Tanner!

GBR!

Yeah the one with Stanley Morgan was totally on Morgan, but all the rest were on Lee. If a qb is getting hit and he throws an interception, that's on the qb and no one else.

Every other qb has to deal with balls bouncing off receivers hands or being pressured by the defense. Those interceptions still count against those qb's. Why shouldn't they count against Lee?
