Dylan Raiola hype train

Who needs to be smart if you're worth a billion dollars? But no, you're not that dumb if you amassed a billion dollars and didn't inherit the money.

That wasn’t the question. But we’ve spent far more time on this than it’s worth already… GBR
 
According to 247 Sports, Dylan ranks 9th best QB in the nation at this point. Ranks as the Top QB in the BIG just ahead of 10th best Ohio State QB Will Howard. Not bad for a true Freshman after his 2nd game.

So tough to tell at this point. They gave Ewers credit for a tough environment, and he did play great, but NU fans know a home crowd doesn't matter if your team is dirt. Will be interesting to watch as conference play starts in a week or 2.

Odds makers generally value home field as a 3-7 point advantage. When your team is garbage and vastly outmatched 3-7 points doesn’t mean jack shit. Really no difference (or distinction) between getting smoked 45-13 or 45-7.

Ver subjective material. No PFF used. No metric at all. Just an opinion piece and it was almost like they put player on the list so people would click in the article.
I clicked.

The fact Dylan is at 73.9% comp % considering he had some smart throwaways, a few near misses, and a couple other inaccurate throws we know he would typically complete….
it’s beyond impressive after 3 games.
His calm, confident demeanor is a dream, and yet he still shows his game intensity in moments like when he goes over to pump up the student section pre-game.

Add to this, our backup is completing 100% of passes (8/8), and you can see what it means to have a capable QB room.

The sliding up in the pocket, the audibles, looking off defenders... stuff a lot of teams aren't sure if a junior or senior can do correctly. A great qb just raises up the whole team because the expectations are raised.

I went back and watched Tanner Lee’s “pocket awareness” and I will never question Dylan Raiola just from that.
 
personally just trying to hold down the lid a little on the pressure cooker of talent he has already exhibited. his family has a huge job ahead of them and have already exceeded normal expectations. absolute best to the young man and his future as this could get way out of hand in a hurry.
 
Add an endzone INT and an endzone missed wide open TE to win the game....... He's been great but man you gotta hit that pass. Stats don't mean much if you lose because you miss a wide open receiver....
So that pick is his fault? Yeah.... Ok. His two picks this year were great balls that our receivers needed to catch.

Yeah it was his throw. The intercepted ball was underthrown to a tightly covered guy. IMO it should have been called an incomplete pass because it hit the ground. It was a 50/50 ball and it would have been a helluva catch b oyur guy. The TD was a 50/50 ball when he threw it but the DB fell down. We're going to have to live with some INTs with this offense and Raiola is WAY better than what we've seen for a long time.

Kind of feel the same way, but it was a much tougher catch over the back of the DB on Friday than the week before… Neyor made a tremendous effort, but I felt like the pass was under thrown just enough it allowed the DB to make a play on the ball. Just my opinion.

And really that's okay. We're going to have to take shots like that if we can't run the ball consistently without Corc or Mazzccua. We're going to have to live with some of that. We need to realize they're going to make mistakes and not every ball is going to be perfect. Not every punt is going to be perfect. When you run out a freshman kicker, he's probably going to miss some kicks. Frustration for us as fans is normal but damn the drum beat has gotten louder today.
 
Gunnar gottula is literally the most important player on this team right now. The entire future of NU rests on him.
