Yeah, what the hell. Great block, but when one guy can't hit back it's not really fair.HH had a green jersey, not sure Gifford had the freedom to go at him
My take on that is that Whipple was a guy who was one year away from retirement coaching with a HC who had to win right away. Future development wasn't on the priority list. They had limited time to teach the new offense. Whipple hand picked two QBs to spend all of his time with and the rest of them were on their own. HH wasn't ready to step in because the coaches didn't get him ready.Yet HH never got a look. Maybe it was because we had certain QB's who were Whipple's boys and were going to play no matter what. I don't know. But it's strange HH didn't get a look somewhere along the way.
I have nothing against hh but these same people that want him to start are also the same people that keep saying we need more 4-5 star kids, it makes no sense to meHe’s gonna be 3rd team this fall, if he’s lucky.
HH was behind a walk on on the depth chart. Say what you want about Whipple, he was a pretty good judge of QBs and HH was at least 4th on his depth chart. HH appears to have all the physical attributes you want but his spring scrimmage last year exposed a lack of accuracy. Who knows what his decision making capabilities are.Yeah, I get that. But that's a lot of coaches and not one gave him even one snap. Purdy was a straight disaster. Smothers was a terrible fit for Whipple's offense so if HH had even a chance of doing anything I have to think Mickey says give him a chance. Seems like almost every other young player got a chance that wasn't hurt.
Every week we see more and more of HaarbergHH was behind a walk on on the depth chart. Say what you want about Whipple, he was a pretty good judge of QBs and HH was at least 4th on his depth chart.

I would bet that the only way he starts any games at QB for us this fall is if we have some injuries. There’s a reason Rhule openly talked about what a great “athlete” he is. We need him at QB this spring but come August maybe not so much. Ok. KK’s turn.
Again your one of those Clamoring for more 4 and 5 star talented players but you want a kid that probably was a 2 star to be the starting quarterback? Like I said I don’t have anything against him just don’t think he’s D 1 material only time will tellEvery week we see more and more of Haarberg
And every week you and others are forced to try and bring him down, detract & minimize
It’s very, very funny. If he ever starts you all will have painted yourselves into quite the corner, seemingly all due to your personal feelings towards and anonymous poster you will never meet
As I always say - it’s awesome to have a 6’5” raw homegrown talent seeming to be growing into a contributor. GBR remember
As for Whipple, he coached offense for 40 years and produced 1 quarterback anyone's ever heard of at the college level
They better have a padded room ready for you this fall when HH changes position….. I’ll root for the kid to win the job but damn.Every week we see more and more of Haarberg

Whipple didn't care who the QB was...he signed a two year winning lotto ticket and he knew that for the most part he would be at UNL for 1 year. It was the ultimate retirement package.My take on that is that Whipple was a guy who was one year away from retirement coaching with a HC who had to win right away.

I agree, but he sure as sh*t wasn't going to take on any long term projects like HH.Whipple didn't care who the QB was...he signed a two year winning lotto ticket and he knew that for the most part he would be at UNL for 1 year. It was the ultimate retirement package.
He took a freshman walk on Synek to a road game and left HH at home ….. There’s yer sign.I agree, but he sure as sh*t wasn't going to take on any long term projects like HH.
Yeah, he was basically not going to do anything at all. Dude just wanted that bag!I agree, but he sure as sh*t wasn't going to take on any long term projects like HH.
I typically like your viewpoints, but this one can never be true if humans are coaching football. Now, when Coach Chat GPT is hired, then playing favorites will be impossible.I hope the days of playing favorites are long gone
Agree....Gifford was in a bad spot. Couldn't do anything thereHH had a green jersey, not sure Gifford had the freedom to go at him

Everybody keeps acting like Rhule didn't say qbs were live inside the 5, which they were according to him.Yes what are you suppose to do if a guy in a green jersey tries to block you. Just get out of the way so there is no contact ?
Selective listening/memory to support personal narratives on full displayEverybody keeps acting like Rhule didn't say qbs were live inside the 5, which they were according to him.
Gifford just proved a point for aspiring defenders - ALWAYS keep your head on a swivel.
Speed, size, physicality. What I’m seeing is a guy who should be playing tight end (ahem, Zach Miller)We all saw he was a gamer in his very first spring game. Led the team down the field to win & then called out the 4 year returning starter about being soft in what was then his only ever interview
Just like we saw purdy have zero juice in his throwing arm
Many simply choose to ignore these things or brush them aside. Others just don’t know what they’re watching.
What you might see instead is a guy who leads the first team offense onto the field in the spring game in 2 weeksSpeed, size, physicality. What I’m seeing is a guy who should be playing tight end (ahem, Zach Miller)
Maybe, but very unlikely. HH has superior physical attributes to Thompson, but Thompson has seen a lot of live fire and shown the ability to produce. My instinct is that Rhule does not want or need much in the way of growing pains from his team that hurts the chances of winning winnable games.What you might see instead is a guy who leads the first team offense onto the field in the spring game in 2 weeks
I don’t know if Thompson can get right physically. I hope he can.
I don’t know if Sims is a plug and play starter. Neither of those guys have won much in their relatively long college careers.
We don’t have a whole lot of options under center at the moment. That’s just the reality.

We dont know, but maybe he sees Torres or HH as a guy he can develop into a starter in a year or two.
The Rhule regime is so much better off in the long run if he turns in a winning season in year 1.
I’m a little bit skeptical about his recovery, but what do I know? It’s well accepted that upper classmen QBs do much better then younger players, even if the younger player has more upside. I believe Rhule can design an offense that doesn’t put too much pressure on his quarterback. I hate live or die with one player.Maybe i'm being stubborn for no reason on this issue but I'm still not convinced on CT's health...combined with his very average record as a starter...I sure hope we find a better option.
