Agree regarding the o line. The whole “BIG is a grown man’s league” is overhyped. We are an average to below average league. Definitely worse than SEC and didn’t we go like 1-3 against the Big 12 last year.
This is my sleeper pick. The kid is electric in the open field. He’s got the moves and the speed.
My boy Gunnerson. Its his time!
Sims' Oline at GT was hot trash. Young QB who's forced to run for his life every snap is not a good recipe for success or consistency.
Almost every presser Rhule makes a comment "Can't play scared"... How bad was it under the previous regime with them browbeating the players about playing scared? No Fear of Failure seems to be, better not screw up.
A little concerned about the place kicking, too.
He was the best passing qb weve had since I have watched Husker football faithfully (2006ish). People will argue about specific stats but the fact is he was a real passing QB with real intelligence, power and accuracy. We havent had that in a long time if ever. The overall team and coaching sucked but he and Palmer were amazing.
With your same logic I could say palmer sucked because he won 4 games last year. Those 2 were absolute studs.
I am excited about Sims. I think our coaching staff is smart to use his strengths and the strengths of those around him for a balanced offense. I dont think he will be as good of a passer as Thompson. I do think the team will be way better overall and I predict 8 wins
The fact that the running back room was very competitive and Ervin is “clearly” the guy is encouraging and speaks to the work he put in during the off-season.
Thompson saw Sims and said “peace out, I wanna play” should be a big enough vote of confidence for Sims.
You think he was a better passing QB than Zac Taylor or Joe Ganz?
What does that mean for our numbers? Last I saw we had to shed 3 more players… does that make it 4 now?
If you watched Coach Rhule’s presser, he said we were two under. So Phalen and the other one who he hasn’t named yet will put us at 85.
Wow, he did not mince words. I love it.
I agree with all that. At UT Casey only won 4 games. Whipple was the worst OC in team history and did zero to win games, he was only concerned about his stats.
But, the QB is to lead the team. Casey took too many sacks and could have looked for more check downs. He needed to find a way to find the open player. He throws a great deep ball but not very good with intermediate routes. I hope he does well at FAU and can break that streak of only 4 wins.
Zac Taylor was a great QB with average skills. He managed the game and played inside himself.
