He wasn’t pressured very much at all yesterday.
Next year’s starting QB is not currently on the team
- Thread starter HuskerAlum92
- Start date
He wasn’t pressured very much at all yesterday.
I mean like crack head delusional. They got to be younger and game players, or just stupid.
Since I’ve yet to meet a Chuck with an IQ higher than 3, I’ll go back and try and explain in simple terms:
- wasn’t comparing Haarberg to Tebow, rather the situation of the 2011 Broncos where everyone knew Tebow wasn’t a viable starting NFL qb, but kept finding ways to win and got the team to the playoffs. The following year, they got Manning and the rest is history, but the storyline that Tebow provided was fun, similar to what we have in Haarberg…he’s finding ways to win…defense played awesome yesterday but they didn’t score any points…HH did
- don’t care what the record of our opponents is that we’ve beat…we lost to shitbag Northwestern last year so I’ll take all the Ws we can get. Beating the teams we should is a luxury we haven’t been afforded for the last decade.
- this team isn’t conference championship caliber right now so a bowl should be the highest priority. The extra practices will be huge for development.
That all make sense, Chuckie?
HH will improve exponentially next year based on all the experience and coaching he's getting. Be patient my dear Husker fans, he will be very successful.
Now that I'm sober, it makes sense to me now. And I have never met a single person named Sloth with an IQ below 149. So good post.
Any time Iowa loses is a great day. I want Nebraska (my team)to beat them. If HH doesn't protect the ball and can't find the open man a little more often, they won't.
He also needs to learn to pitch
No one here is b!tching about being 4-3. In fact I believe everyone here is thrilled we have a winning record going into November. But this forum thread is about our QB situation and not having the future QB on the roster...yet...
It's completely mind numbing how people don't realize what thread they are on.
Now posters like Kong try and derail it with wins and loses and wants you to believe the QB is the sole purpose of it. When in reality everyone and their dog knows the defense and new coaching staff is the real reason for the turn around this year. Hell, even HCMR even stated we are a defensive team. But a guy completing only 50% of his passes is the reason for the turn around 😅
I call BS, there are some “the sky is falling” fans and it’s tiresome. You are pissing your pants about next year already. What the hell for. So what if the defense leads the way, is being a defensive team an issue? Things will improve with the offense over time. My question is why throw a fit and bitch about it today? Neither Eric Crouch nor Tommy Frazier are on the sidelines waiting to come on the field this season. Too many miserable fans around here chronically pissed off. You seem upset that the defense leads to way. Did you prefer the the 45-42 or 43-37 losses in 2022, the 35-28 and 32-29 losses in 2021, or the 41-23 loss in 2020 better? Give them time to improve the offense do you really think the coaches are seeing what they want out there this year?
And I never said people were unhappy about being 4-3, I said people are bitching about how they win. Like all of a sudden we should be doing that. No wonder other teams fans keep saying Neb fans are stuck in the 90s because it’s true
Totally agree with everything you posted. We are taking steps. But the next step is to continue to add building blocks to a limited offense (in 2023). Those building blocks will help Rhule realize a vision of a complete team - which will undoubtedly lead to greater success for Neb.
we were 0-2 prior to HH starting
we're 4-1 since
and we've played exactly one offense in the national top 50 (Mich, defense got its shit pushed in) and 4 defenses inside the top 50 (HH is 2-1 against the 3 he's faced, the 4th is minn).
defense is relatively healthy, offense is decimated
yet, we continue to outscore our opponents
you can't see it, friend.
keep up the awesome work and keep wishing and hoping while we continue to pile up wins!

First of all. You can post two different posts if quoting two different people. Probably the first time I’ve seen that. Second TL;DR
These are the ones that wanted Frank gone and were the cause of our downfall. They still want a gunslinger even though it’s been proven over and over again it doesn’t work in Lincoln. I guess when you have a larger enough fan base you’re going to have a lot of idiots
Yeah, last game we see
He's not wrong based on the game. If the defense hadn't stepped up it would have been another Minny win.
Frank literally took the over the best program in the country at the time and ran it in the ground....
Frank should have been gone / shouldn’t have gotten the job, they just did it in the wrong way. The rest of your post is also wrong.
Oh so you only care about ratings, style points, and details (reality) when it comes to critiquing the defense. But the offense can turn it over 2-3 times every game against 60-80th ranked defenses and “HH is a winner that carries the team single-handedly and makes everyone on the defense ‘play better’ “
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you: pure agenda-fueled delusion. As others have said, it really is as if you are the kid’s deranged mother.
Not even close. Gdowski threw 19 touchdowns and 2 interceptions. He averaged 8 yards per carry, unheard of for a qb.
Raw yardage maybe, but otherwise there is no comparison.
QB and a few more Ben Scott's would be the primary goal.
Yeah, and conversely, some Nebraska fans are such blind homers that they always think we're winning, even when we're losing. And just keep lowering the bar to make it true. Never criticize, never complain, always support, never be objective. That's the Nebraska way.
It goes both ways. Both extremes are detrimental to the culture of the fanbase. One leads to complacency and the other leads to unrealistic expectations. I know both kinds and I can't stand talking football with either of them. Impossible to have a constructive conversation.
My opinion is that Nebraska needs a QB and not an athlete playing QB. If they can develop HH fine. He basically has had zero development and maybe he could blossom, but go find an actual QB. Maybe Flores wants to come back.
NW has a top 50 defense and is outside the top 100 in offense
The game went accordingly
I don’t say Haarberg is a finished product or even a good QB. But he’s the best player on an offense that’s doing enough to win games we haven’t won since 2016.
Guys like @SomedayHusker who truly believed purdy was ahead of him on the depth chart know nothing about football & got personally embarrassed by HH taking the reins of the team.
Oh also E Johnson is clearly our best back. @SomedayHusker wont like that dose of reality one bit, either.
Here’s why this is an incorrect post: According to the coaching staff, who works with the players every day, neither of your sentences where you mentioned me are true. Purdy may have gone in if he wasn’t injured, and Grant has far more carries than Johnson on the season, meaning the staff obviously thinks he’s been the better back so far because they’ve given him the ball wayyyy more times. So definitely nothing “clear” as you say about the depth chart or who’s better than who.
Does that make sense for you, Kongy? No? Ok. I tried.
Just more blow-hard Kong trying to spit out a million takes per hour so he can quote himself some more on the one that’s right.
So Deacon Hill is at the top of your list. I guess that makes perfect sense in your world.
Hill's winning percentage is worse than Haarberg's, so, no, he would not be.
excited to see your wishlist in the offseason, friend!
really hoping you're a solutions guy and not just a problems guy.
But he’s a “winner,” I thought that’s what mattered? Now what matters is that they have to be a special kind of winner, and the only way to be that is to have a better winning % than HH.
why replace a guy who wins with someone who doesn't win as much?But he’s a “winner,” I thought that’s what mattered? Now what matters is that they have to be a special kind of winner, and the only way to be that is to have a better winning % than HH.
seems pretty straight forward
LOL @ top 50 defense. Here are the numbers for some context you left out.
NW is #41 in yards allowed per game
#67 in points allowed per game (26.8)
#86 with 1.2 takeaways per game (HH 2 picks)
#83 in opponent completion - 62% (HH 47%)
#101 in sack percentage! (This is why o-line blocked well for HH this game)
The only reason some of their pass defense yardage **totals** look mediocre is because teams just run the ball all day with a lead and drain the clock on them. These stats include games against UTEP and f*^%^ing Howard. This is a bad bad team that HH looked mediocre/below average against and the defense had 8 sacks. Get it together, dude.
Oh look another hypocritical Kong non-response 😆 Enjoy your love affair while it lasts.
talk about agenda
you truly believed purdy would play over HH even though he has the arm of a 12 year old
it's okay. many people look like their head has never left their ass on this board. you're in good company and nobody will judge you solely based on this most recent humiliation.
E Johnson looked good leading the team in carries last week while mr pitter patter looked the same as always. he will lead the team in RB carries going forward, as he should.
Sorry, but HH didn't win that game, it was the defence. HH did enough to lose the game. He's looks to be the best of a pretty poor group of QB's. Emmitt looks like he can be good but either him or HH messed up that handoff and put the ball on the ground. Offense is sputtering and the defense is covering their azz.
I'm enjoying it immensely!
4-1!
imagine having so much poop in your pants you're having no fun rooting for this team
couldn't ever be me
he'll lead the team in RB carries moving forward, just like he did on Sat
and he should. kid's got juice.
I agree with you gunslinging won't work in Lincoln and I don't want them to go away from what they're doing. But we do need a qb that is suitable enough to hit the open guys every once in a while. Someone that knows how to pitch it would help too
You’re right. We need to enjoy the wins and be grateful that things are turning around. Lots to be positive about
Secretly, most of us know we need a new QB that can pass. All progress begins with being honest.
Better?
