I actually feel better after looking at this list. There are just enough that started as true Freshman and did well that it’s not unreasonable to at least hope DR can do the same.

That just blows my mind that a college freshman can fly in his receivers to practice with a professional coach. This ain’t your granddad‘s college football 😅
I liked your post. Especially the part of you eating a giant shit sandwich. Please post the video when it happens 😁
I'd probably do it to be good again. We need something to get us rolling.
If eating shit made your team better iowa would have about 40 national championships…
It would be interesting to see Stafford or Mahomes come to a Husker game this Fall.
QB1 going to make some great plays but also freshman mistakes. Like we have talked about the team around him and play calling is the bigger concern.
Yes, we don't want to see him transfer next year.
I think we will be surprised at how few turnovers he has this year. Maybe the least by an NU QB this decade
I’m excited to see him running the offense for reals!
For the first time in a very long time we have a legit QB (although inexperienced) and a solid defense. I am not sure the last time we could have said this
The most ‘ready’ QB in Husker history. His impact will be even greater than we all think.
Agree. The timing was amazing. Desperately needed a real qb and there is no downside to playing him. A lot of people are scared to get hurt.
2021 5-star QB Ty Thompson was just beat out of the starting job at Tulane by a redshirt freshman. Thompson transferred from Oregon to Tulane in January after Oregon brought in two highly rated transfer quarterbacks.

Stars get you in the door. Work ethic and talent get you on the field.
Thompson beat out at Tulane just 10 days ahead of classmate Caleb Williams preparing his NFL debut as the #1 overall pick.
life comes at you fast.
Fortunately it seems like Dylan has both qualities in abundance: natural talent AND work ethic.
Off topic a bit, but I watched last year's Bama v. Texas game and to that point in his career, former 5* Ewers was hitting at 22% on all passes that were in the air more than 20 yards. That's pretty lousy.
Still better than any of our QBs last year.
Incredibly mature for a guy his age. He’s got the benefit of being coached by people who have already spent time on the mountain top. But, his willingness to be teachable is the big difference maker, IMO.
I will be clued in to see how he internalizes adversity. That rare attribute whereby you are a fierce competitor, but don’t let your emotions spin you out of control and take you out of your game.
None of our QBs last season was a five star passing god either, Simms not withstanding.
Look at the how many #1 picks were also #1 qb's coming out of high school. 3 out of the last 4 #1 picks were a #1 qb. Of course there are misses. Ask yourself if you think DR will likely be more like Spencer Rattler or more like Trevor Lawrence. You can look at some of those kids and see that they had flaws to begin with, usually maturity issues.
