looks a lot like the QB's we used to recruit when Nebraska was a successful program, if he can throw it 10 times a game, that is enoughI think I saw one pass in those highlights, lol.
quit being so negative timThat clip shows he contributed to the win against Georgia southern. I’ve seen enough. Sign him up!
I was kind of being serious. I liked what I saw. My post was in jest a little bit, but that doesn’t take away from the fact he could be a dangerous player if he committed to Nebraska.quit being so negative tim
No thanks. Would rather have Logan Smothers
By the way, what did you think of Luke McCaffrey?No thanks. Would rather have Logan Smothers
Shoulda never been a QBBy the way, what did you think of Luke McCaffrey?
I did win a Heisman with him in my Arkansas dynasty in NCAA 14... 😉If this kid can throw it at all hes going to be a dangerous player for someone.
I actually saw a ray of hope with Purdy against Michigan.We have 1 quarterback on the roster (Casey - way too small)
We have 1 dead carcass who makes the team worse the second he takes the field (purdy)
We have a perpetual high school junior who has proven he does not have what it takes & hasn’t put on an ounce in 3 years (smothers)
Then we have some tall guys with big arms who are compete unknowns (Torres, Haarberg) + that walkon whose name I forget
Get rid of the 2 “backups” - they suck. Embarrassingly bad. Replace them with a transfer + high school kid
Or get rid of them and don’t replace them at all for all I care. Just get their asses off the payroll
He might play other positions.I heard that he was the backup at Arkansas. But when the starter got hurt, they started the third team QB instead. I think they pegged Hornsby as a guy who could run a package of running plays but not much more. Unless we're going to run the ball 80% of the time, I don't think he's a good fit.
Torres rushed for 276 his junior year and 76 in his injury-shortened senior year. Hard to tell what the Rhule offense will look like at this point, but I'm assuming they want a little more of a dual threat than what Torres has to offer.We have 1 quarterback on the roster (Casey - way too small)

For shits and giggles, we can run the option with Hornsby and have him pitch it to Turner, the REALLY FAST guy. LOLI would love to see Hornsby's speed on our side of the ball. I hope he finds a home here.
Yeah, maybe so. But I'm assuming that the reason that he's transferring to begin with is to be a starting QB.He might play other positions.
Ok, I know it is fashionable to opine for the backup QB so declaring coach favorites makes people feel better I guess.Torres rushed for 276 his junior year and 76 in his injury-shortened senior year. Hard to tell what the Rhule offense will look like at this point, but I'm assuming they want a little more of a dual threat than what Torres has to offer.
Haarberg rushed for 556 as a senior and 426 his junior year. He looks like a bit of a long strider on his tape. He seems to be able to make the throws and has a cannon arm. I always wondered why he couldn't climb the depth chart. Maybe the college game is too fast for him, or maybe the big stage is too big for him, or maybe he just isn't that good. Or....maybe he didn't respond well to Mario's 26-page BS tests and maybe he never got a chance being stuck behind two of Frost's handpicked guys (Adrian and Logan) and two of Whipple's handpicked guys (Thompson and Purdy). Maybe he will do better with a new start this year as long as he doesn't get stuck behind a couple of Rhule's handpicked guys. We'll see.

He has the arm strength of a 9 year oldI actually saw a ray of hope with Purdy against Michigan.
Sorry I made you angry. I allowed that Haarberg might not be that good, might not have it mentally, might not be able to deal with the college speed of the game, etc. It's just his HS film looked really good, so maybe, just maybe part of his problem was his coaching development and/or not getting a fair shot. No one can convince me that Whipple wrongly played Purdy because he was his guy when inserting Smothers and calling plays to suit him would have been better.Ok, I know it is fashionable to opine for the backup QB so declaring coach favorites makes people feel better I guess.
On a serious note, when Martinez was struggling thr battle cry was for Luke and we saw where that ended up. Turned out Luke was no QB and not just by Nebraska standards. Then you have Casey and of course either of his back ups would be better. All we heard was dump Purdy and give us Smothers and since that happened, it's been crickets.
I know this is a stretch but is it at all possible that the coaches played the best players they had?
When CT got hurt, did NU really have a choice but to play backups? When Martinez got hurt, the choice was to play a backup.Ok, I know it is fashionable to opine for the backup QB so declaring coach favorites makes people feel better I guess.

Nice post...until you got to the last sentence. You kinda went off the rail there. LOLHe showed in the spring game the stage isn’t too big
Very much think it had to do with the previous coaching staff (said at the time the only reason we got him was bc he happened to live in a place nobody looks for D1 players)
Glad to hear Rhule is already intrigued. Kid’s a 6’5” adonis straight from star QB central casting - I would be, too
In all honesty, at Bama, I gave Hurts ZERO chance of ever being an NFL QB, let alone a starter, let alone a star.Just heard Cowherd say no one thought Hurts could throw until he played for Lincoln Riley. He also its all about finding QBs with arm talent and using the throws they can make. I can't see Rhule and Satterfield being interested in this guy unless they see the potential to develop his throwing. That, plus the fact that he sounds like he's willing to redshirt if CT comes back = I'm in.
