We’re now relying on Haarberg as our backup and we’re moving to even more pro style passing game offense. Kaelin won’t be anywhere near ready. Good f’n luck with that. I guarantee you Rhule would like Purdy to stay.
Chubba in the portal
- Thread starter headcard
- Start date
Maybe we aren't done yet? A portal guy or a late signee?
Not to bent out of shape by this news. Expected it given where college football is today. Good luck to him and everyone else that hits the portal.

That post doesn't help your case. You're comparing Chubba to Trevor Lawrence now? LOL you just jumped straight to delusional.
I like Haarberg as a backup. He did enough to win games this year. He’s young and will continue to develop. Especially with Raiola in the QB room. That type of talent builds overall team confidence too
How about we have a QB playing QB who also is a great athlete. Go down the list right now of guys in the NFL from Tua, Mahommes, Allen, Hurts etc. Hell even Rodgers was very mobile. You just handicap yourself if your QB can’t pose at least a little run threat. In Raiola’s case he’s going to be a load to bring down at least.
No. Just pointing out that even NFL QBs do it. We need an experienced backup and I’m sorry but HH doesn’t cut it.

HH won games. Chubba did not
Haarberg won 5 games this year. Chubba can't sniff his jock. HH is objectively better if you step outside imaginary Dingleland. Doesn't matter, Chubba quit, HH is a Husker who will die for this team.
This isn't complicated people. Purdy was never staying. HH will move into a Taysum Hill role. I'm sure they would love to add a veteran pocket passer but it's going to be tough. Most qbs want to play. Tough to convince someone they are going to play over DR. DK is no slouch either. And they are both here in January.
It is amazing he is opining for a quiter
Guess he really has no confidence. Could have beaten him out.
Joe Montana threw 25 TD passes at ND….and 25 INTs. Guess he learned to get over his mistakes.
Is there anything to the Casey Thompson talk on here? Anything??
Purdy was never staying. Ever. He hasn't won a starting job at 2 schools and 4 different head coaches. 0% chance he was beating DR. DR will basically pass him in game experience by the 5th game he starts.
We are fine. 90% of the teams in America would love to have our problem of having the #1 qb in the class flip from Georgia and scare off other qbs.
You had to dig deep for that one, huh? Regardless, the fact remains that @hephusker made an excellent point. You usually get more of what you've already seen.
Who knows. I would like to think so but he left NU to play at a smaller school so it would be kind of strange to reverse that a year later.
Hypo.....thetically, if the 2 QB's being discussed the most in this thread both entered the portal, 1 wood have waaaaay better landing spots to choose from than the other. But I hope both stay.
Rhule says it is an open competition. If Purdy is better (doubtful), he probably starts. If he isn't better, he probably still plays quite a bit. Instead, he quit. This isn't Rhule's fault or anyone else's. This is all on Purdy. We can find someone else who can't win games.
No. Those facts about Montana came to mind immediately when I read the post. Niners saw past his mistakes and took him in Round 3.
As for Thompson, Rhule could offer him a NIL deal to stay a year as a backup, with the option of making him a GA the following year. Assuming he wants to be a coach.
That true freshman was always gonna start. Chubba sees the writing on the wall.
Would you have rather not landed Raoila in order for him to stay?
HH won’t be in the top 2. They would have to be prepared to run 2 different offenses. You don’t want HH having to pass the ball.
ok Kong. Compare the opponents.
No. But man the idea of having to run out Haarberg or Kaelin in the advent of an injury sure looks like another 5 win season to me.
He wouldn’t have been a quitter if he had stayed. He was our best option to back up Raiola. That’s all. Bless Kaelin but he’s got a long ways to go.
You're either drunk or trolling. Which is it?
Neither. Not looking forward to watching Haarberg throw behind and over our receivers next fall after Raiola gets hurt in fall camp. We have to find a portal QB with some experience who can complete a pass. ☹️
Make no mistake, chubba can easily be replaced.
I really hope we don’t replace him.
Nebraska football needs to move beyond players like chubba, unless he’s a walk on.
He also wouldn’t have been turnover-prone if he didn’t turn the ball over.
Don’t see keen insights like this every day..
Yeah I’m just not looking forward to watching Haarberg play QB when it happens next fall. You know it will. We’ve played 3 QBs every year for forever it seems☹️
Hopefully Rhule picks up a portal guy. 3 scholarship QBs isn’t enough especially with the lack of experience in that room.
I am confident rhule did the right thing and purdy was one of the players he told would never play.
I dont think purdy is a quitter. I think he is honest about his performance and capabilities.
The O-Line didn’t help any of the QBs and they sure as hell aren’t going to make Raiola look better. Purdy hanging around to compete would have been nice for the QB room because he could have been the buffer until Raiola was ready to roll on. And as others have said, injuries will happen and you need depth. Otherwise, I don’t blame Purdy.
I was just poking fun at "He wouldn't have been a quitter if he had stayed." That's a "if my aunt had balls she'd be my uncle" statement if I've ever heard one. I'm gonna stop arguing with you about Chubba. He's gone. Rhule just signed two Elite 11 guys including the top QB in the class. Let's take a breath and not assume we won't have a serviceable backup next season.
There’s no way Rhule told him he wouldn’t play privately. If he did then he was lying in his signing day press conference.
