He did better at KSU because the coaches had recruited players who could generate offense. Vaughn was a demon at RB. Hell, Kade Warner almost had 500 yards receiving. Amart did not have to press and it was very much a less is more thing for him.
Am I the only one not sold on DR?

Not being completely sold on DR is a completely reasonable take. There are question marks.
Saying he sucks or that Nebraska would be better without him…completely unreasonable.

Turned out frost was a shitty head coach, as was his quarterback coach. AM was a good quarterback, which he showed at K State, as well as in his freshman year here. DR may turn out better with a better offensive coaching staff. As they say the jury is still out.
Yeah he was a big play guy but hard to sustain drives without being able to hit short and intermediate throws.
There's a reason no power conference schools start a true freshman. Oregon had a 6th year starter playing for them today. OSU had a 5th year season transfer. That said I think the ups and downs of Raiola's freshman could pay dividends next season. I'd rather not do it again.
Rhule is completely rebuilding the program. Later on, this may be no big deal, but today he's the best QB on the roster by far. In the future it may become plug n play. The NEXT guy will have it a lot easier. Can't say he'll be the next Raiola though!
And made the right one.
Caleb Williams, Trevor Lawrence, Jalen Hurts and Lamar Jackson say hello… probably quite a few others.
It remains to be seen whether DR will be more like one of these guys or more like AM moving forward.
Wow, that’s embarrassing, tells you how little I watched of the Big 12… thanks. He had a pretty darn good year.
I don't recall you ever saying you wanted Leavitt last winter. Is this revisionist history on your part? You seemed pretty locked in on McCord, who is a totally different style.
I listened to a former player yuck it up about Tom trying to get Humm and Ferragamo to run option in practice🤣. Tagge on the other hand could punish people. He was slow but he could run option with the best of them. One big tough dude. I would like to see more of that from Dylan. He needs to be more Big Ben and less Mahommes.
And yet AM continued to piss it down his leg at times at KSU. AM looked like a different QB playing in the pro summer league and the NFL preseason this past year. He might stick on a roster this year.
Once again, could have gotten both. I'll pick the more mobile quarterback every time, and even McCord has shown more mobility than Raiola.
If both was an option they would have gotten both.
I was talking about both McCord and Leavitt. Once Rhule was fixated on Raiola though, there was no turning back. He had goo goo eyes at that point.
Vanderbilt's Diego Pavia reminds me of Tagge. Doesn't look like a guy who should beat you, but he moves the chains.
You have evidence that Leavitt wanted to compete with McCord?
Why would Leavitt and McCord both go to the same school? So they can rotate possessions?
Can you imagine the shit storm that would have descended on Rhule had it come out that he told the Raiolas that he had promised the job to McCord.
In fairness, I think he meant that Nebraska could have had either Leavitt or McCord.
High six figure income has a way of motivating a guy to do a lot of things.
Shoot, no chance. I was trying to give you the benefit of the doubt, but nope you doubled down. Mr Roarke and Tattoo are expecting you in your cabana.

Personally, I think they should have landed both Quinn Ewers and Cam Ward.
That would have been a nice 1-2 punch for defenses to prepare for. It's like our coaches aren't even trying.
I don't understand why we didn't sign Cam Ward and Gabriel. 7 figure money for both.
Ha. Fantasy Island. Great show flashbacks,😂😍Shoot, no chance. I was trying to give you the benefit of the doubt, but nope you doubled down. Mr Roarke and Tattoo are expecting you in your cabana.
Jeff Sims came in at the same time as Leavitt. There was no guarantee that Leavitt was going to start at ASU. Again, we could have easily outbid ASU at the time. And like I said, high six figure income to sit on your ass for a year, I don't know many who would complain about that.
I actually would prefer Quinn Ewers and Arch Manning. Just take Texas completely out of the equation as a competitor this year.
Leavitt committed to Arizona St the exact same day that Sims entered the portal in December. Leavitt went through spring practice with ASU and was the projected starter when Rashada left in the middle of spring practice. Sims didn't even commit to Arizona St until May, he sat in the portal for 6 months with no takers until ASU had a spot with the departure of Rashada.
It's just money. That's all it takes.Ewers, Ward, Gabriel.
What a QB room we should have had.
