What are you talking about? Thompson is a stud QB.

The Casey Thompson hate on RSS is weird. The kid can play and he's better than Smothers right now.

He might be making fun of antirowbot

Would be the best QB we have had in a LONG time

OK, I see. There is so much craziness on here anymore it’s hard to tell.

He’s better than AM too.

Or stupid, or maybe both... LOL

Better than AM, better than Tommy, Magic, Ganz, etc

I wouldn’t say he is better than Ganz..

Why is looking to transfer?

 

[TruHusker]

It's good we have the scouts on here all over this. I wonder if Thompson is high on their collective boards after exhaustively watching hours of film?

Texas brought in Ewers from Ohio State.

I would love to get him. He had some INT's but not bad. In 2021 per espn,
Martinez 14 td's 10 int's
Thompson 24 td's 9 int's

That's a significant improvement. We need him.

 

[Pennsyhusker]

Kid looks good. I hope we get him. It would be a huge get. Would be the best QB we have had in years

 

[leodisflowers]

God we need this kid.

 

[Chuck003]

Not completely sold on this kid. However, his Dad could have been a legend. Cam Ward has a much higher upside and he's not 23 years old. We need to go all in on him instead. This kid looks o.k. i guess.

 

[BleedRed78]

Please make it happen!

 

[inWV]

Dude was 5-7 against a schedule much kinder than NU’s. He is highly likely to not be an upgrade from Martinez. And is far from a lock to start over Smothers, should he transfer.

You're not sold on anything. Aren't you an Iowa fan.

He is an upgrade over AM in every way. He went 4-4 as a starter which isn’t great. But he played through a nasty hand injury he sustained in the OU game (where he threw for 400 yards and 5 TD’s) and was never really the reason they lost. Look at the KU game he threw 6 TD’s and led scoring drives with less than a 1 min left in regulation and in OT.

If we can win 5 games, it's an upgrade.

If Texas had Nebraska Defense they would have had more wins. His 5-7 record is not because he can't play it's because the Texas D was terrible this year.

He is an upgrade over TM. However, the kid wasn't even the starter for the full season. At the beginning of the year, he got beat out by a kid named Hudson Hawke or something. Not that the kid can't play, it's just that there are still better options out there. His dad Charles could have been a good one, though.

If I would have been sold on everything concerning this program over the last 20 years, I would have a lot of lemons to suck on. I have learned to proceed with caution and not get hard over every player possibly thrown our way.

What are the better options?

 

[redwine65]

I'd rather have ut's rb...and oklahoma's qb
butI guess if he was the starting qb for ut, a lot of folks thought highly of him.

But yet you are on Ward. Of the three, I think Purdy is the best choice.

Why’s that? The other two have at least produced at the college level.

I think he has the best upside, and he appears to be Whipples choice. I'd take any of them.

 

[skintight]

is that the son of Charles Thompson ? from OU

Yes

Remember, this is the crowd that was excited that we might get Akron's 3rd string QB. That said, this transfer makes the most sense out of all the other possibilities I have seen. Purdy would be nice, but a huge risk between injury and inexperience.

I would hope we made a run for Cameron Ward, but he’s never been mentioned by anyone ‘in the know’ as far as I know. My guess is that means he’s not interested in us. If we never pursued him, shame on us.

I think there was one dude that thought that was a good idea and about everyone else was like "WTF?"

Kind of like when Mike Riley was named head coach here.

You don’t know if they haven’t been in touch..Purdy announced that he was offered and a texass site has indicated that Nebraska has reached out that‘s all’s we know now…
