Haarburg Poll on why you think he should start

[itseasyas1-2-3]

I think there is a lot to weigh, but some of this is hard because it has been only 3 games, but Sims has continued to just be the guy he has always been.

HH - Seems to make the better reads when running the read option. There has been a number of times where Sims should have pitched the ball or should have run it, but has made the wrong read. HH seems to be making the correct read most of the time. He also doesn't turn it over and that is the major key. His downfalls as he doesn't seem to be quite the homerun threat Sims is in the running game and also seems to run very early instead of waiting to find a receiver. Both Sims and HH stare down receivers.

Sims - Threw some decent passes that were just flat out dropped by Fidone and some of our WR's that killed drives where we were moving. Turnover machine that just seems to lack confidence.

I know the coaches see way more than we do, but I think you just have to ride HH until he makes mistakes at the same clip as Sims. I would like to see Sims against weaker competition to just get a little bit of a base, but man he really squandered some stuff against a really bad CU D. That game still pisses me off because CU's D line is not better than NIU

Seems like the difference between playing FOR Sims and playing FOR HH is like in baseball.

Sims is the guy on the mound who constantly walks hitters. As a result the infielders are lacking in their pre-steps, not 100% ready to make a play, and when it gets hit to them, they can get caught on their heels.

With HH, he seems like the guy on the mound who is going to serve up strikes, as a result the ball is going to be constantly in play, so the players are on their toes and ready to make a play.

Just an analogy that seems to fit.

Recap 2023: Northern Illinois

Offense:The huge story was the injury to Jeff Sims which paved the way for Henrich Haarberg to start in the home opener for the Cornhuskers. HH is the first in-state scholarship QB for the Huskers …

SSO always has good write-ups and he watches practice as well.

So anyone who disagrees with you is retarded ? Must be nice to be the smartest guy in the room.

It’s a gift I try not to take lightly.

My bad.. I changed it

Shouldn’t this be Rhule’s decision …

 

[Sodakred]

None of those answers hits the mark. HH should start until he loses two or three games — and that shouldn’t take long. Then we will need to find out about the next man up. We have a purdy good third stringer.

Purdy sucks.. my own eyes told me last season.. he throws like my grandma

Publicly visible? I'm waaaay too big a pussy for that.

 

[TampaBaySkers]

If you see your name… then yes, you are colossal moron ..

HH - reason Leadership.

 

[Crisker]

Sometimes I wonder if Rhule knows exactly what he got himself into coming to Lincoln.

Ye$$$ he did.

 

[V-Doub]

I predict Sims will start this weekend. I also predict this board will go into meltdown mode and say a bunch of derogatory comments about how smart the coaches are, how much we pay them, who needs to be fired, etc. After the game, you will either see that Sims lit up a lesser team, similar to HH, or Sims fumbled around and got benched, HH came in and carried it home. I don't believe either QB will lose us this game, but it will be good to see Sims at home against much lesser competition. I also believe we will see both QBs in the game no matter the score.

From there decisions get harder. IF Sims plays well. If he plays bad against inferior talent, coaches need to roll with HH against Michigan. Will they? No idea.

That’s why you sit Simms and roll with Haarberg until Simms is needed. Then, if he plays well he will be the hero. That’s how you avoid a QB controversy. Be decisive, stick with you decision until the other QB is circumstantially needed.

 

[Sinomatic]

I would say the only argument or opinion that matters is Rhule's.

Wouldn't it be more difficult to argue Haarberg is the better player based on 1 single start?

Sims, after 3 years, has a win rate of 32%.

 

[HankMoody78]

I was one of the challenged people that selected Sims should start. I would like to see him start in front of the home crowd vs a lesser opponent, compared to 2 road starts under a fresh regime.
I want both qbs to play extensively.
I want to see a side by side comparison.

 

[SantaBarbaraSker]

Just re-washed last weeks game, anybody who watches that and said he isn’t a better quarterback/gam has no credibility in my book. A freshman in his first start and made pretty much zero mistakes.

HH has essentially the same measurables is Sims, but faster…and Sims is a three years P5 starter with a 25–5 record.

No brainer who should start this Saturday… Just hope MR has the balls to pull the trigger.

I don't disagree, but I think HH is a 3rd year sophomore.

So you need confirmation that sims sucks both home and away?

Yeah but did you see that handoff on Saturday....TOUCHDOWN!! 😂😂😂

Correct essentially a redshirt sophomore.…with his first start.

The quicker we start Simms (m’s) =“monumental $rewups/game” The quicker we can make Haarburg the starting quarterback for us going forward.
