Haarberg Spring Game Recap

[PvilleHuskerTim]

After he proves that in games that matter, like his competition did

Until then his potential is off the charts and our staff has a knack for developing kids with much less in terms of physical gifts.

Hater

The eternal question with HH is whether the potential as a passer comes out through being developed by this current staff. He seems to have the “it” factor in running the option. That takes a lot of skill and feel. Not every running QB has those abilities.

It is easy to see there is potential. Can potential turn into actuality?

 

[itseasyas1-2-3]

the broadcasters mentioned the staff had been working on HH's mechanics, so your observation is noted

as for CT, of course. I still question his health going into this season.

I had some funny interactions with antirowboat - almost as good as thewayitellem

antirowboat was one of a kind, he is not missed.

 

[jteten]

Pretty sure I had this same kind of obsession with T-Mart. Some big time arguments back then. There was actual on the field data to discuss though.

 

[wkato]

No, just a person who can recognize potential

I didn’t elevate HH from obscurity to #2 on the depth chart. Coach Rhule did.

No, the lack of CT being able to practice and then the portal did!

 

[tro80]

Could he be the next Gerry Gdowski? Bided his time and continued to improve until his senior year, which went pretty well with a top 10 finish (sans the Fiesta Bowl debacle which I think led TO to the revelation that he needed to start recruiting speed to keep up with the Florida schools)

 

[Huskers123456]

Pretty sure I had this same kind of obsession with T-Mart. Some big time arguments back then. There was actual on the field data to discuss though.

That's the problem. Basically 2 different coaching staffs wouldn't even give him a snap. Including the interim coach who wasn't afraid to elevate young players.

The drunk and the wife beater had no business manning their posts

Not so with Rhule, a true pro

Well I personally hope your nephew becomes the next Josh Allen because history has proven that the backup will end up getting significant snaps in crucial situations. Personally I would have loved to have kept CT but you roll with what you got.

I’m sure you will be first in line to say “I rooted for him all along” if he does, just like the other haters/losers

 

[dinglefritz]

Rhule takes raw kids and turns them into All-Americans. it's the #1 thing most everyone on this board was excited about when he was hired & when we signed a bunch of track kids this class.

that we have a C-2 local kid from a military family working his way up the depth chart at the most important position without having become a fan favorite is baffling to me and says a lot more about you poopy pants haters/losers than it does about me.

all I want is to win. Rhule clearly thinks Haarberg gives us our best shot behind Sims to do that.

You’re the only one who is confident HH “clearly” gives us our best shot to win behind Sims.

 

[Huskers123456]

I’m sure you will be first in line to say “I rooted for him all along” if he does, just like the other haters/losers

Of course I'm rooting for him. Why wouldn't I? I'm also rooting for all the other 2nd or 3rd year players who have never played. I just don't have to slobber all over them to try and prove I'm some kind of great talent scout.

It's getting kind of awkward when you're openly accusing people of rooting against HH just because they refuse to anoint him the next Eric Crouch. I'm beginning to wonder if you're just screwing with everyone because it's getting a little over the top.

 

[dinglefritz]

antirowboat was one of a kind, he is not missed.

Aka huskerfaninwisci and recruitinganalyst_national🙄

 

[dinglefritz]

That's the problem. Basically 2 different coaching staffs wouldn't even give him a snap. Including the interim coach who wasn't afraid to elevate young players.

HH was left off the travel roster late in the season for the walk on Synek who has since left the program…. That translated to 5th team at best.

 

[SomedayHusker]

Nicely done.
I heard if you dont believe in purdy you dont believe in the new staff.


Look Im an HH fan, within reason. Id rather have him on our roster than torres, purdy, or smothers. But this is getting creepy. He did not fire a bullet to a wide open reciever for two. He almost missed him at his feet.
He has ball control issues and made the kind of mistake we’re used to seeing from qbs with the sack, something AM would do and get roasted for.
The tipped passes seem to happen more with him.
He’s not a good thrower.

I look forward to his development. He’s young and raw. I like his running ability. I hope they find a way to use him in some way. Im sure he will improve.

But its obvious kong is just tryin to pick a fight. Next avatar should be william wallace!

This is accurate. His pocket movement in that spring game was simply predetermined and that’s why his passes got tipped and he stepped right into pressure, and yea, he nearly missed the wide open Kemp in the end zone on that “bullet” of a pass…I like too how he claims the end zone throw to Betts was “there” yet even the announcer says immediately that Betts had to go play defender on the play, because the throw was way off to the inside, and late.

That being said, thanks for the breakdown Kong, integrity move. Even though it was a little biased.

 

[king_kong_]

You’re the only one who is confident HH “clearly” gives us our best shot to win behind Sims.

so the coaching staff puts him ahead of kids who give us a better chance?

makes perfect sense.

I get that you believe yourself to be a better judge of quarterback talent than Rhule & Satt, but at least try and make 1+1=2 moving forward.

thanks in advance, hater. or is it loser?

 

[king_kong_]

Of course I'm rooting for him. Why wouldn't I? I'm also rooting for all the other 2nd or 3rd year players who have never played. I just don't have to slobber all over them to try and prove I'm some kind of great talent scout.

It's getting kind of awkward when you're openly accusing people of rooting against HH just because they refuse to anoint him the next Eric Crouch. I'm beginning to wonder if you're just screwing with everyone because it's getting a little over the top.

what's awkward is all the quarterback gurus here who are positive our backup quarterback sucks after seeing him attempt 6 passes in practice despite what our universally liked and respected and renowned recognizer and developer of talent head coach sees and says.

if you can find a post where I anointed him as anything but our 2nd best quarterback on the current roster, please post it for the class. it would be instructive as to who's doing what in an 'over the top' fashion.

I am nothing if not accountable and chock full of integrity.

too many people here refuse to admit they're wrong even though it's plain as day. I believe those people to be prideful cowards.

this here is a message board focused on Nebraska Football. it's Cinco de Mayo (felicidades to all who celebrate) - a full 5 months before the opener and 4 months before practice starts.

what in hell else is there to talk about?

You need to renew your meds, usually your pretty decent but your obsession with hh is borderline psychotic. I don’t hate the kid I just don’t think he is d 1 caliber. you was talking about most of the portal kids aren’t going to big schools but in the same breath you believe hh is the next coming of Brook

I like that you own it...it's a pretty fun thing to watch unfold and yer right, not a lot to discuss right now.

...not that anyone asked me, but I suspect my thoughts on HH mirror most others....I hope he develops and kills it, and it appears he has a ways to go to do just that, but who knows. Stranger things have happened. Would love to see it.

my meds need renewed, yet you're replying to things that don't exist. you've invented my position in your own head & are now manifesting it, likely due to extreme personal feelings toward me.

your position as hater/loser has been noted, Baxter.

I, for one, am glad Rhule - a man of integrity who's made his bones on development - is our coach. doesn't sound like you can say the same.

 

[konaki]

The way some are posting you would think the schedule begins next week, we are over 100 days away from actual games. I'll take coach Rhule at his word when he say's he hasn't taken over a program like Nebraska that has some very good talent. These are not his exact words but words to the effect he said when comparing his time at Temple and Baylor to Nebraska.

I have no idea what the final pieces will look like offensively and defensively but one thing I know for sure is we have a true pro guiding our program something we haven't had since Bill Callahan.

Unlike Callahan Rhule is more easy with the media and fans and unlike Callahan Rhule is trying hard to get to know the Nebraska way of working and playing. Rhule is very smart, he knows it's the only way to really succeed starting day one, he has truly embraced the way of life in Nebraska. jmo

 

[RedJensen]

You guys are too much. I can’t believe you haven’t realized kong IS HH!

 

[itseasyas1-2-3]

thanks in advance, hater. or is it loser?

kong, why do you gotta be that way? You're turning into a prick.

Just because someone doesn't agree with you about HH, you gotta go all hater/loser on them? Everyone here, including you and I are entitled to our opinions. Do you really think these naysayers of HH hate the kid? If you do, surely that can't be what you actually think.

Even though Nikki hasn't been on here lately, he tried to force Purdy down people's throats last year, and fizzled.
You and I, and others quickly identified that the kid just did not have a useable arm at the D1 level. It didn't/doesn't mean he never will, but either you have arm strength or you don't. If his arm strength was going to make a vast improvement, we would seen signs of it by now.

Purdy got his chance, and I think, proved what the naysayers were saying was accurate. So, does that make you and I haters/losers? I don't hate Purdy and I'm sure you don't either. I would love it if he had a rocket arm, and I would love if HH could hit the broad side of a barn. Purdy may yet develop some arm strength, and HH may yet become a kid who can match some technique in throwing skills to go along with his excellent physical skills.

We agree Rhule and Satt are in the development business, and there's alot of development that needs to occur with HH for him to ever lead this team as the top guy. Doesn't mean he doesn't have the physical tools to do, it just means they have to be developed. Right now, he has enough chinks in his armor he's a turnover machine waiting to happen.

It doesn't make me a hater, and I ****ing guarantee you I'm not a loser, job number one for a QB is to lead the team and not make a shitload of mistakes, we were already bogged down for 4 years because that's the type of kid who was the starter.

I'm curious, have you ever coached anything? Do you have any real life experience in teaching kids how to become professional athletes? I do. I also have the technical knowledge in 5 different sports to talk any language, or techniques you'd care to talk about. That doesn't mean I don't think you're a smart guy, because you are. Everybody can talk, not all can teach, they can either show provable results or prove that they once did for credibility.

Nikki found out last year what happens when you try to ram a less than stellar kid, who wasn't ready, down everyone's throat. When you tout somebody, they better have the goods.

I'm done, this go round, of giving you shit. If HH develops the way Rhule, Satt, and the vast majority of people on this board hope, you will get your compliments. Till then, those accolades will be earned when the visual picture matches the description.

It's like Deon Sanders. Walks into CU starts with the "We coming", "there's your QB" bullshit. The guy has ZERO wins at the D1 level. If you're gonna come in and talk that noise, you better be a Nick Saban or a Urban Meyer, because you know those dudes can back it up.

Keep doing what you're doing man, its a free forum on thoughts and opinions. You would do well to chill a little bit when you keep degrading people by calling them haters and losers. You're better than that kong. End of lecture.

Fire away.

thanks, dad

if you can't take the heat stay out of the kitchen

I want what's best for Nebraska & am happy to share my opinions about it. I am also the first person to admit when I'm wrong when indeed that's the case.

I don't take anything anyone says here personally. it's quite clear that's not the case for everyone, which I find delightful.

I am still laughing at the Lamar Jackson thread 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

(I also put $200 on the japanese horse to win tomorrow at +1100)

 

[itseasyas1-2-3]

thanks, dad

That's all you gotta say? Let me have it!! Tell me where I'm wrong.

Show me you have the requisite skill to dissect what I posted, and then tell me what my correction methods need to be.

I'm not the kinda guy who's gonna sit quietly by and read your comments on dingle, Baxter and the others and not say something. If I happen to agree, mostly, or in great part, what they are saying, its similar to implying the same thing to me.

We're all adults, or we're supposed to be. Nothing wrong with arguing or disagreeing, but when you're talking on a public forum and not face-to-face it's a different dynamic. Would you call these guys haters/losers to their face?

When someone used to say to me, "that Mike Tyson's a fuvking dumbass boxer." I used to ask them, "would you tell him that to his face?" Of course they wouldn't, so why would someone talk shit like that in a public forum?

In case you didn't know, I've dealt with some tough cookies in my day. When it comes to a good debate, or a differing of opinions based on evidence, I say let's go.

By the way, I likely am old enough to be your dad. If I'm having an adult, serious discussion with my son, I am used to him battling back and trying to convince me that I'm wrong. I don't lose arguments when I'm right.

 

[Gary.Busey]

all in all, an inconsistent performance from an obviously talented kid receiving his first real reps

I am excited to watch him develop under this staff who clearly like what they have in him

My brother coaches QBs and worked with HH at Warren Academy and still does. Absolutely loves HH... his attitude, his work ethic, his athletic ability and how mature he is for his age. Obviously HH has some work to do with some mechanics and some other small things but has a ton of potential....

When it comes to QBs I listen to his opinion, one of his former QBs is a back up in the NFL, one he personally trained started multiple D1 games as a true freshman last year and his current starting QB in high school is committed to a P5 school. So with all that said, I'm going to trust his opinion over most.... even my own🤣 he also has been to multiple practices this year and years before.

We've had guys on here where they were personal, and you're really not that kind of guy. I didn't read the Lamar Jackson thread, not even one word, because it didn't interest me.

You're too good of a guy, you overall bring way too much good stuff to the board to let yourself get bogged down with the HH saga. Let's let the thing play out, then it's kudos for Rhule, Satt, you and all the true Husker fans.

Good luck with the horse. As I laid it out, it is a tough, tough race and anything can happen. I made the best case I could for each horse, but, even with over 50 years of playing horses, it doesn't guarantee I have any of it right. There are reasons to save a little room for disappointment. I hate to lose more than I love to win.

Side note: I played a horse at Hawthorne this week, a total piece of shit and was 24/1. Make a long story short, he broke first, was clear by a length on the backside, opened up by 7 lengths at the top of the stretch, and strolled in first by about 3 lengths. Made a few bucks. It was the SAME angle as I've used on a particular trainer there 8 out of 8 times this meet, and a hundred of times over the last umpteen years. It's an easy game, it's an impossible game. You just never know. When that horse opened up on the turn, I just chuckled. PED's and horse racing are a beautiful combination. LOL I'll be spending Hawthorne money tomorrow when I place my wagers.

See how easy that is?

BY THE WAY. Forgeting our little dust up today, you and I talked about getting into the private chat room to have some discussions. I'm still totally open to that if you can figure out the mechanics. Despite our HH head butt today, I "may" be able to, at some point, put you on a couple ponies that will fund your gambling for a day or two. Disclaimer, I only do horses, so no golf, baseball, basketball, ufc, boxing. Just horses. It's up to you.

I always take care of my son(s). LOL

I don't really disagree with anything you've said.

you think my posting style is distasteful. you're entitled to do so.

as I said in the spring game, it's quite clear most of the anti-Haarberg sentiments have more to do with me personally as opposed to our backup quarterback - something else I find delightful.

I have zero qualifications as a D1 coach, but @Gary.Busey 's post supports what my eyes tell me

as for the "wait and see" stuff, yea, of course. but it's May and this is a message board, so I'll take some liberties and have some fun

kong, your posting is great with the exception of the hater/loser comments.

I hope you're right on HH, you think it would break my heart to have a Brook Berringer type QB lead this squad for the next 3 years? We all know what a 3 year QUALITY starter like Turner Gill or Tommy Frasier can mean to a team. It's the only way the Huskers ever get back into the national picture. It all starts at QB. Gotta have a difference maker there.

(if our previous staff had any vision this would be Haarberg's 3rd year as a starter)

here's a fun walk down memory lane (John_J_Rambo is me):

Aug 1, 2021:

getting Haarberg meaningful reps this year is the best thing that could happen to Frost and our future

farting around with AM any longer won't win us games in the near term and will cost us valuable experience long term

we need to cut our losses. AM staying arguably caused the most long-term damage of any player in Frost's first class.

2021 season is meaningless anyway. we all agree Frost isn't going anywhere no matter what happens, and we have less than a snowball's chance in hell to win any meaningful games, so why not see if we have an actual player in #10?

halftime of the illinois game (2021 opener):

When Does the Haarberg Era Begin?

looks to me like it's already a half too late how much longer will Frost beat his head against the same spot on the same wall?

nebraska.forums.rivals.com

LOL spot the lie

 

[king_kong_]

one more because it's Cinco de Mayo & the tequila's flowing:

Aug 1, 2021:

I truly, honestly don't understand what good trotting AM out as a starter at all this year accomplishes.

Frost is playing with house money contractually. why he wouldn't fold the hand he's been holding and losing with for 3 years in hopes of snagging an ace is beyond comprehension.

nobody is looking for feel-good seasons or moral victories. Trev said it best: all that matter at Nebraska are titles. so why don't we act like it?

 

[dinglefritz]

I am nothing if not accountable and chock full of integrity.

too many people here refuse to admit they're wrong even though it's plain as day. I believe those people to be prideful cowards.

this here is a message board focused on Nebraska Football. it's Cinco de Mayo (felicidades to all who celebrate) - a full 5 months before the opener and 4 months before practice starts.

what in hell else is there to talk about?

There is no evidence yet to say he will be a competent back up.

 

[OzzyLvr]

My brother coaches QBs and worked with HH at Warren Academy and still does. Absolutely loves HH... his attitude, his work ethic, his athletic ability and how mature he is for his age. Obviously HH has some work to do with some mechanics and some other small things but has a ton of potential....

When it comes to QBs I listen to his opinion, one of his former QBs is a back up in the NFL, one he personally trained started multiple D1 games as a true freshman last year and his current starting QB in high school is committed to a P5 school. So with all that said, I'm going to trust his opinion over most.... even my own🤣 he also has been to multiple practices this year and years before.

I'm not trying to defend Kong or HH but I think it is important to remember that the Spring Game was just 1 of 15 practices. It is entirely possible that HH had 14 amazing practices, including prior scrimmages where QBs were live, and 1 questionable practice that was the Spring Game. I'm not going to criticize HH for the only practice I really got to see when the coaches see him every day and sit down with him to grade out every practice film. I'm not going to give him superlatives that he is the next All B1G QB but I still see promise. His mechanic flaws are fixable & now that he's in a friendlier offense, I think he can improve on his decision making skills. I have no idea where his ceiling is on that & he may actually be there but I doubt it. I still think he has potential - but it will depend on HH & how much work he puts into it. Moving from Class C2 to the B1G is tough enough but when you don't have the coaching you need (not the outside gurus but the NE staff), I think he's really functioning as another true freshman that enrolled early - he just happens to know his way around campus & where the locker room is.

 

[king_kong_]

There is no evidence yet to say he will be a competent back up.

as I've stated ad nauseam - an unknown quantity is much better than a known incapable one (purdy)

the absence of evidence + our staff's confidence + his undeniable physical tools = good enough for now

 

[Huskers123456]

45% at 3 yards/attempt

Purdy is very lucky the wife beater and the fat corpse gifted him a scholarship

Charity case with that arm. There’s a reason he’s listed on the depth chart as “also on scholarship” 🤣

This is how I know you're either certified crazy or screwing with everyone. Because no one would be calling other fans haters for saying HH isn't Josh Allen when you are bashing Purdy.

 

[drubendall]

I for one am looking forward to which QBs enter the portal in December so we can grab one.
In the meantime I’ll pray Sims stays healthy.

Hope we get a decent HS QB this class.

This. It is now 1) Sims, 2) Oh shit!

There are not too many teams in P5 that have two proven QB's who deserve to start on it's roster. It will be up to our staff to get somebody ready to play this year and you will see someone emerge I'm just not sure who it will be but he will get coached up in a hurry.

This is the scary part of college football, you can't have two stud QB's on your roster because back up will not want to sit and wait for an opportunity, they want to start and if they can't they'll find a school where they can.

I'm pretty sure if you look at other teams forums they are most likely in the same boat about their QB situation. If Sims were here last year and a starter he would have had the same inexperienced QB room behind him that we have now. Just remember, last year we had Thompson and the same group we have now minus a few who backed him up.

This is all about people not trusting Sims and Rhules evaluation of him. I'm sure Rhule would have loved to have Thompson for insurance but that was never going to happen, Thompson has other plans and being a back up was not one of them. Like it or not Sims will be our QB and then the real fight begins in the fall camp for someone to take the second spot.

I'm just going to have to trust Coach Rhule and Satterfield that they just may know what they are doing more so than many arm chair QB's. No intention of putting anyone down it's just my opinion which means absolutely nothing except it's how I feel.

This is how I know you're either certified crazy or screwing with everyone. Because no one would be calling other fans haters for saying HH isn't Josh Allen when you are bashing Purdy.

those are purdy's stats

he cannot throw

facts = bashing?

the bolded portion of your post is only occurring in your head, friend.

Rhule takes raw kids and turns them into All-Americans. it's the #1 thing most everyone on this board was excited about when he was hired & when we signed a bunch of track kids this class.

that we have a C-2 local kid from a military family working his way up the depth chart at the most important position without having become a fan favorite is baffling to me and says a lot more about you poopy pants haters/losers than it does about me.

all I want is to win. Rhule clearly thinks Haarberg gives us our best shot behind Sims to do that.

I’m not gonna crap on Haarberg just to beef with you. The consensus in this thread is that we don’t see the upside as much as you do. Everyone pretty much agrees that he has size and athleticism. The sample size is too small to predict his passing ability which is very raw. So far, we are pretty underwhelmed.

Based on how thin our QB room is all of a sudden, his number may get called called. The staff is going to attempt to develop him, of course, but I believe they will recruit over him.

Thompson needs this year to get as much play on tape as possible. He needs to go somewhere where he can walk into the starting rule, based on his skills and past work. I don’t blame him. He’s hoping to put up a ton of yards next fall and possibly get drafted or worst case get invited to some camps.
