HH round 2

Twist? You included a jab at the quarterbacks in a post which said, and I quote, “it has nothing to do with the quarterbacks”

Could’ve just left that part out of it was indeed all about the D
It was in response to you making the Michigan game about the quarterback, but it never was.
 
Saying our offense will struggle vs Michigan is an opinion unless you have a crystal ball

You don’t know. None of us do.
our offense has not exactly lit it up, even under Haarberg. He’s certainly improved over Sims, but it was against northern Illinois. 35 points. Not bad, but it doesn’t exactly instill confidence going into Michigan.

doesn't make your post any less of an opinion.

not sure why you're fighting so hard to crap on our team. it's gameday. GBR!
 
Sucks for sims? I’m guessing nobody’s more relieved.

It’s Haarberg’s team. Always has been. Just listen to what his brothers say about him.
Happy HH is starting and he should IMO, but the fact that Sims was voted a single digit by his teammates shows he earned their respect, too.

We will likely need both of them as the season goes on especially if HH continues to run like our option QBs of old (which I love).

I can cut HH some slack in his first start. I also cut Sims a little slack in his first Husker start. When he did it again I wasn't willing to any more. That's 26 starts and eventually you either do simple stuff and win games or you don't.

With HH at the helm and Grant at rb I expect this O to start to develop the identity we all thought they would have as a grind it out, physical team. HH and Grant both want to be the most physical person on the field and I think both are hungry to prove people wrong.

I also expect Haarberg to hit at least one 25+ yard pass today.
 
Fair? WTF is this? Pop Warner? Sims can continue to sit on the sidelines and be a cheerleader.

OK everyone, line up and grab your participation trophy.
I didn't mean as in fair to him, fair to be prepped as a team if Sims has to play next week.
 
No excuses for Sim's turnovers but 2 games on the road against power 5 teams (one was a top 20 team) is different than 2 games at home against group of 5 teams. Rhule is resting Sims for Michigan.
You start out your sentence with no excuses for sims.. then immediately make excuses. Solid critical thinking skills ya got there..

For the record, my words aren’t an indictment against the QB position as much as it is the whole offense. I just don’t think our offense has shown much yet. I hope the develop an identity quickly. HH is safer, for obvious reasons. No jab against the QB. But of a jab against the offense.

I expect to see many more “let’s wait and see HH play a P5/B1G team” comments after he kicks more ass this afternoon

Sad sad sad
That’s the situation we’re in like it or not. Beating a couple of cupcakes at home doesn’t mean as much as you think. It’s a start. That’s it.

a crap offensive line + depleted RB room (3rd and 4th string) + one of the worst WR corps in the BIG is a formula where you are going to need your QB to be much more than simply a game manager
 
Only submissive Nebraska fans would be crying for a QB (whose looked like shit on his own) to have another opportunity to continue to start vs a QB that played a clean game and we won. Only glutens for punishment think that way. You all are sick sons of bitches, I’ll tell you that. It’s as if your afraid of success since it’s been so long that you have any. I can’t help crazy people.

I haven’t seen a single poster on here “crying for Sims”. People are just pumping the brakes on anointing Haarberg as the next Frazier.

That's not actually true regarding the rb's. Grant was our best back and was only 3rd string because of fumbling in practice. Depth is a problem but Grant has proven to be durable last year and in community college.

Grant didn't play at all against Colorado (he was 3rd string)- you cant tell me that whatever kept him off the field the entire CU game miraculously got fixed in the week between CU and N Illinois

What are you taking about whack job. No one is claiming HH the next frazier. People want him to start because he doesn’t turn the football over and gives NU best chance to win.

He’s the most dynamic rb of the top 3 with a ball in his hands and it’s not close. Doesn’t mean he has no other deficiencies.

Can you please tell us why anyone should listen to a single word you type when these were your publicly held and often defended opinions about our quarterback:

“Taking him was a mistake”
“Doesn’t matter if he gets hurt, zero chance to play in the fall”

You’ve also yet to admit you were wrong.

What you say here means less than nothing. You have no idea what you’re talking about.

I really don’t get the passive aggressive responses against HH.
It’s easy to understand when you consider the source(s) and their posting history with regards to our quarterback.

Really really sad if you ask me. Shameful even.

As a true freshman those comments were completely rational.

Sims and Haarberg are far cry’s away from Tagge and Van Brownson..

Not even close.. Give me a Van Brownson on this team now..

QB is the position that can make up for all that with just one dude. We just don’t have that dude. Nothing against our QBs personally.

I value his posts more than yours. Exhibit A.
 
The second comment came just 5 months ago during the spring game

If I was as consistently wrong as you I would never post here again

Astonishing lack of self awareness

To then double down is hubris out the wazoo

Pathetic
What is your problem? Did you go off your meds?

My problem is with mental midgets who can’t admit they were wrong & double down on their dipshittery

This rhetoric was easily predicted as you painted yourself publicly into your corner

You’re a coward & are clueless when it comes to football

The better Haarberg plays the more effort you will expel to move the goalposts against him. It can go no other way
