Boise has a great small stadium and Boise itself is a very fun city. I had a nephew who lived there so I have spent a lot of time there and have gone to two footballs games. If I push it and there is not bad weather in the Blue Mountains just east of Pendleton, Oregon it takes me about 6 1/2 hours to get there. I will also drive through it in February on my way to Sun Valley.
Chubba in the portal
- Thread starter headcard
- Start date
This was bound to happen when Dylan signed. Can't believe anyone is surprised, Chubba wants to be a starter. Would love to have a solid 1 year guy to push Dylan, that doesn't have NFL ambitions, get a decent NIL deal. That guy might not exist.
As of now Raiola and Kaelin are going to get a ton of reps, that's probably a good thing the long run but Y2 might not be as we would like it. Rhule seems determined to play the long game.
Time to stop acting like a chid and get behind the qb of the future..
Why won't Kaelin be anywhere near ready?
"When a QB is injured they don't play as well"
Hmmm I'm gonna have to look into this a little more. What a revelation.
You are worried about Raiola getting hurt but you wish the guy who has been hurt almost his entire time at NU would stay? The bar for Raiola during his freshman campaign is set so low because of people like Purdy who didn't do anything. It won't be hard to exceed.
His eligibility is starting to run out. You think he is going to stay so he can wait for Raiola to get hurt? Meanwhile DK would be gaining experience to try and take over the #2 spot. Just not realistic, unless he refuses to move down like CT did.
Have you spoken to any Gopher fans lately? They would love to be in our situation of getting a recruit like Raiola and DK. Seriously, snap out of it. We got the #1 qb and another 4 star in the same class. Who does that other than Georgia or OSU?
It's unheard of for a school that hasn't been to a bowl game in 7 years and you are complaining about experience. Lol. Get a grip.
Nope. Not expecting DR to light the world on fire as a true freshman. But I think he will do better than Purdy. Purdy lost every game he started. He screwed up big time when it mattered this year. DR and Kaelin are our future. Start getting them ready. Next year might be rocky, but if you think it won’t be even rockier with Purdy as our starter then you are in a zone of thinking I can’t relate to.
I do agree that our future will be freshmen, we're an injury away from trouble imo. I wish Purdy would have stayed. Remember he was injured for most of fall. Yes it was extremely frustrating
I stated above that Purdy leaving hurts our depth. But almost all teams these days are two deep at QB at best due to transfers. So most teams are also just one or two injuries away from playing a Matt Turman type backup. We have HH. A portal transfer would be nice but I don’t see it. Thompson? Have not heard much on that lately. Can he even play on that leg?
This is going to sound really stupid to some of you but there's more to being a good quarterback than winning games. If not, then Brady would be undefeated in his career.
If I'm not mistaken Purdy was injured 2 years in a row from injuries that were not sustained in a game. What makes anyone think he was going to provide real depth when needed? Wish the kid the best but it's best for everyone to start fresh.
I'm hopeful for a lot of things. Chubba Purdy winning games for us isn't one of them. At this point I'll put my faith in a freshman who could have literally picked any school in America. Chubba needs to go to a team like FAU like CT did. Somewhere he can try and get actual experience.
Raiola played at a high level, 3 schools and terminologies, 3 sets
Of teammates and STILL had unbelievable stats. The pains won’t be nearly what they are with most.
I’m not disappointed Chubba is leaving especially if it’s true if Thompson is coming in to be a walk on..
Chubba still has better QB skills better than either Sims or HH..
HH isn’t leaving becuse no other team has any interest in him not see’s any up side taking him…

Our 3 deep will be either a QB who can’t throw it in the ocean or a true freshman who isn’t ready. I can’t wait to see Haarberg trotted out as our starter again.
Rhule was giving “coach speak”. The starter has already (always) been pre-determined.
IF I’m Rhule I’m on the phone today to everybody I can think of today trying to find an experienced QB. My pitch is my top 2 QBs are true freshmen and I’m worried that they won’t be ready. After that I tell them that NU has needed to play 3 QBs every year for a decade so you’ll likely get your shot to play even if you’re not the starter in game 1.
And every experienced QB that is leaving is doing so because their previous team has recruited over them or their coach left. IF they wanted to wait for an injury they could stay where they are and do that.
I really don't believe he was offered anything. I don't believe he was invited up to Lincoln by Rhule or anyone on staff. He isn't in the portal so he can't take visits to campuses for purpose of recruiting. To believe that Rhule who says he won't talk about NIL stuff with players is going to be having conversations with a player not in the portal is not at all fathomable to me.
True that. I feel like some people are longing for the era when Raiola would have lit it up with the Freshman Team before patiently waiting his turn as a sophomore behind a couple of 3rd and 4th-year QBs who did the same. Those days have been gone for a while now.
Might have been nice if Purdy had stayed. But for the life of me, I can't imagine why it matters whether I'm happy or sad about him leaving. To nobody's surprise, he's gone. Time to move on.
There are and will be guys who want to try to compete at a higher level. There will be D2 and FCS starters looking to get paid. We have to sell how many QBs we’ve had to play and the inexperience of our backups…..that and a bag of cash. 50K might buy you a FCS starter better than Haarberg.
Maybe, but of all the experienced FCS and DII starters how many are currently in the portal? There are only 2 teams still playing, so there should be no reason for them to not be in the portal already right?
If we end up needing a #3 again this season, and we're not comfortable with Haarberg, just put in a WR and run wildcat.
The end result will be exactly the same.

Boise started a true freshman in the Bowl Game, because their starting QB hit the portal and is transferring to Arkansas.
Please list the teams that have an awesome 3rd team qb. Now show me their 1st team qb and their record lately. Good lord. Look at the NFL when a starter goes down. They are pulling people out of retirement to find a decent qb.
Purdy sucked when games were on the line. Better for us and him that he’s moving on.
Haarberg isn’t leaving because he’s a tough kid who’s not afraid to put in the work
He bleeds scarlet
The staff loves him. Nose permanently to the grindstone. Went from not even allowed in meetings to starter.
He will find a way onto the field one way or another and we’ll be better for it
This team and this country needs many more Haarbergs and many many less purdys
