Earl Everett. He was electricTony Veland, Russell Gary, Steve Taylor. Who do you think was best?
Bad ass player or badass playerTough.
Tony Veland the ex-Benson Bunny was as tough as they come.
Steve Taylor was a bad ass player as well.
Gotta go with Stevie Taylor. Some call him Turner-lite, but he didn't have the same cast of characters around him like Turner Gill did. His game against South Carolina in 1986 as a Soph on the road was pretty damn special.
Taylor. At his best, he ran the option better than any qb we've ever had. Too bad he couldn't do that every week.

Tommie was the best qb of all time, because he was consistently competitive. Week in, week out, he was a game changer. I'm saying that if Taylor could have maintained his best like Frazier, its not even close. Taylor was incredible when he wasn't being a headcase.C'mon.
Tommie ran it better than any player in CFB history. He was the selection at QB for SI and FWAA for their 1900's All-Century team.
Tommie was a 50% passer at best with receivers more open than Paris Hilton.

Gdowski was a good QB but check out NU's schedule the year he started vs. the teams Taylor had to face. Very weak non-conference schedule and the first year of the Gary Gibbs era at OU.Still think Godwski ended up being a better QB than Taylor for us..
Russell Gary died? Any details?I'm going with the late Russell Gary, who unfortunately passed away last year. Outstanding DB for the Huskers and a solid career with the Saints. Nothing against Taylor or Veland, who were great. I just have to put Gary at the top of the list.
Not much detail in the news articles, except that he died of an apparent heart attack. Just 59, so way too young:Russell Gary died? Any details?
Anyone care to post Steve Taylor’s passing stats?
I stand corrected, I was only looking at his rushing yards "gained" and not his net for 1988.He was not a good passer, probably somewhere in the 45% range and close to even on TD/INT maybe 20 TDs
He wasn't close to being a 1000/1000 guy, I think his best year for rushing the ball was a little over 800 yards and he only threw for 1000 yards once and it was barely over 1000.
Thank you. I'd missed the news. Knew him well.Not much detail in the news articles, except that he died of an apparent heart attack. Just 59, so way too young:

I got your back. Agreed ... Gary.I'm going with the late Russell Gary, who unfortunately passed away last year. Outstanding DB for the Huskers and a solid career with the Saints. Nothing against Taylor or Veland, who were great. I just have to put Gary at the top of the list.
Taylor. Part of TOs highest ranked recruiting class and Steve was Toms QB of choice that class. Could have signed Rodney Peete instead but TO went with Taylor. Peete went on and finished 2nd in the Heisman his SR year behind a so-so RB no one remembers.
Doesn’t matter the recruiting ranking. Taylor was good no doubt but recruiting ranking doesn’t matter. Baker Steinkuhler was a 5 star. And the best #9 per his recruiting ranking is Brett Clark by far. He was a stud on one of Nebraska’s best D’s statistically.Taylor.

Gary all things being equal. If you consider recruiting hype Brett Clark. From Neb City he didn’t get much but was a fantastic AA safety.Which is it Gary or Clark? You don't get two votes, and you don't get to count the mail in ballot for your third either.
