Found this. This guy probably describes it best irt what I have been saying. Watch some of these throws. He is a program changer.
Dylan Raiola film
- Thread starter HuskerDana
- Start date
Hopefully our receivers can keep up.
Good lord…
His arm is f’ing surreal. THATS elite NFL talent Potential. Not many QB1s in the NFL have that cannon.

Yeah he’s a guy that can start day one
He’s got an absolute howitzer. Clearly the right decision. Malachi and Lloyd are gonna have a monster year.
Yep. That's what I have said. This kid is on a completely different level. I think McCord knows that. It's actually pretty wise for him to look elsewhere. He would have been holding a clipboard.
If ours can't, with a talent like this behind C, we'll have no problems finding one that can.
Makes me wonder if Rhule/Satterfield are going to “open up” the offense with Raiola. Why have guys like Llyod and Coleman just to run an old fashioned BIG offense?
I'm sure they will....at least as the season progresses. You'd be crazy not to. Maybe if Frsot had a guy like this, he actually COULD make the BIG adjust to NU. Lol
Other than the obvious, two things jump out at me....
- His line gave him better pass pro that I expected, at least based on what I read about that line. He was pressured at times, sure, but it was not as epically bad as I expected.
- His feet are sometimes poorly placed but he accurately lays out the pass anyway. WTH? Go watch some of Taylor Martinez' throws, especially the long ones.....his back is bowed all the way, sometimes to the point his shoulders are almost behind his feet; his feet are planted all over the place. DM will occasionally have his feet planted in a less-than-optimal position but he can still launch at accurate bomb 70 yards. Shit, he tossed a 30 yd pass across his body while being tackled. And the ball was right where it needed to be.
Agree with everything you said. Except I think he has the potential to be a generational talent. Other than a couple of things you pointed out (good observations, btw...), I did notice on a couple of throws, he didn't drive through and finish the throw. Those throws may have very well been the ones you were talking about irt foot placement.
Some of this could be simply because he is just so freakish with his arm strength, he trusts that TOO much. It's much easier to "fix" this than a throwing motion, though, imo.
I didn't coach Qb's.....so you probably picked up a couple of things that I may have missed, too.
Still, I am sure a conversation with McCord and family went something like this:
McCord: So, if DR comes here....is he going to rs?
Satterfield: No.
McCord: I better look elsewhere.
EDIT: ..and yes, irt Taylor Martinez. He was almost a textbook example of how to NOT throw a football. Lol

****ing Cannon.
Only thing I hate about videos like that is, I get it he has a gun. Please show me some slants and out routes. Im sure better videos have all the throws but I want to see the guy throw them all

Yeah, one thing I noticed about this clip. It doesn't show intermediate (digs, slants, etc) or deep outs. There are ones I have seen....I'll see if I can find them again. (Those were prior to this season). He can make those throws with very good accuracy.
I think one of the strengths of Satt whether people like him or not is adjusting the offense to fit the talent available.
Thanks for posting that. Now I better understand why McCord and Kaelin are fleeing.
Agreed. As I said, I'll look to see if I can find a couple a clips I found this spring. This gives you a general idea of what kind of arm talent this kid has, though.
Bro, trust me. YOU know more about this than I do. And while I'm not ready to call him a generational talent, I can be easily convinced. The narrator made repeated references to Mahomes vis-a-vis throwing style. I think Mahomes has more sidearm than DR, but the savvy part.....yeah.
Excuse me. Martinez was a passing machine. Do not disrespect his name. I've provided video evidence.
Yep…and physically ready. Ain’t no skinny stick that can’t hold up.
If he is as good as we hope our rbs might have 1000 yards rushing if they can keep the safeties deep.
We definitely will be on suicide watch if we don’t get this guy.
No doubt DR has an incredible arm. Most of these highlights were either of the bomb variety or feature his ability to throw with people hanging on him.
Can he read a D, pre snap, make the line calls, and go through progressions? Those are very difficult for freshmen to learn so I would expect some learning pains in those areas.
I am always cautious watching HS film as it's always hard to tell how good the opposition. I remember similar film out this year with Sims college highlights and how dominate he was in THOSE highlights. I think the thread headline was something like, "This is all you need to know about Sims." I could be wrong.
It will be exciting to see this offense grow, lots of youth all around.

I think this kid, if he stays healthy, he will end his career owning every passing record for Nebraska and will be a top 3 NFL pick. He has that kind of talent. He is all ready ahead of what Caleb Williams was at the end of his senior year in high school. Dylan is better than you even want him to be. Yes he is that great.
well hopefully this 20 years of pass happy finally pays off
Obviously we can’t tell in the highlights, but I have read he processes defenses quickly and gets the ball where it needs to go on time. His 34 TD to 1 INT probably fall in line with that.
First of all: Let's recognize "The Return" of @HuskerDana
🎶WELCOME BACK🎶
2nd of all let's recognize the film. My take. Die-Lahn does not need a 5-star OL, maybe not even a 4-star Line. He can make the throws WITH pressure!
I'm N!....if we get him.
If we don't.........more whiskey.....hey bartender!

Lloyd would heavily benefit from having DR. Jaylen needs to put in some work still but DR could literally changed Jaylens life completely
I would loved to have heard what Rhule told McCord.
All you can say is stud.... he will be just as important for bringing in studs to play with him. What wideout in the country wouldn't want to come and play with a qb with an arm like that?
"Son, you I can work with. Your pops? We need to talk."
DR may give his uncle more insensitive to work hard on the line too. His uncle is protecting his NFL career. That’s one of the best arms I’ve see.
I imagine he promised that if he beat out his 5 star, #1 freshmen qb the job is his. McCord doesn't want to compete and I don't blame him when there is a situation out there where he can showcase what he is without looking over his shoulder.
So, I'm trying to tell my coworker about the trick play where jacory Myers fakes a run and tosses the TD pass to Adams. No matter how many times I try, autocorrect keeps changing trick play to Chick-fil-A. And I hate Chick-fil-A! LOL
Who knows what happened, but if McCords dad was being a demanding jerk off, I’m glad Rhule told them to hit the bricks.
