Next year’s starting QB is not currently on the team
- Thread starter HuskerAlum92
- Start date
I'm referring to two or three times where they had a pass rusher get to Haarberg's spot very quickly. I saw it and watched the replay at the game. Haarberg is stepping up, naturally his eyes are on the pass rushers instead of downfield and he has receivers still running down field, not even into their breaks yet.
When NU goes into an empty backfield with no inline tight ends, it's asking a hell of a lot out of our OL to send our receivers out on slow developing routes.
Let's compare Haarberg to Duggan over Duggan's first 3 years:
| Pass YPG | PTD/game | INT/game | Rush YPG | Rush Avg | RTD/game | |
| Duggan | 179 | 1.2 | 0.6 | 43 | 4 | 0.58 |
| HH | 143 | 1 | 0.8 | 85 | 5 | 0.8 |
not that far off, and thats including Duggan's growth and experience over a large sample set. Worth pointing out that Duggan has HH beat in comp % (59 to 51), but also worth pointing out Duggan's winning % was 0.406 compated to HH's 0.8.
let's look at how their first years stack up for a more accurate comparison:
| Pass YPG | PTD/game | INT/game | Rush YPG | Rush Avg | RTD/game | |
| Duggan | 173 | 1.2 | 0.8 | 46 | 4.3 | 0.5 |
| HH | 143 | 1 | 0.8 | 85 | 5 | 0.8 |
again, not a very stark contrast. Duggan had a comp% of 53 that year, and a winning % of 0.25. not to mention, Duggan had WRs like Jalen Raegor and Quentin Johnson who would go on to be 1st round picks, something Nebraska hasn't had in decades.
to summarize, HH is every bit as capable as Duggan was. statistically, he's on track to be better. that doesn't mean he'll lead us to the CFB playoff his senior year, but you should at least be factually aware before feigning outrage.
people often resort to personal insults when they've been checkmatedSimple really. Like Simple Jack simple.
appears you're no different
you've fully written off Haarberg, which is great. your personal opinion and credibility are now at odds with Nebraska winning and him playing well.
I find it odd to call a fellow fan who supports the team's first QB to lead a 4-1 stretch since 2018 a retard, but, hey, you do you.

It’s possible our head coach also believed a healthy Purdy would’ve started. So again, we’ll never truly know, but you keep spinning it how you spin it. I’m looking at the facts of what our head coach said.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.
I’ll agree I don’t mind EJ taking more snaps at RB, but he also wouldn’t have played much if not for multiple injuries, so apparently Rhule and staff liked Grant over him for the majority of the year so far, even despite his ball security problems in practice, which is saying something.
I wouldn’t be shocked to see HH pulled for Sims or Purdy if he has another NW type of game. Buddies I was watching with wanted him pulled in that game, I was on the fence.
we know.
you just can't admit it.
congrats on surrounding yourself with people who are even dumber than you are!
You are THE national treasure of hypocrisy.
No one puts out lower hanging fruit.
your friends sound like idiots. who wants the winningest QB NU has seen in 5 years benched during a game we had well in hand? very glad to hear you weren't involved in such idiocy.
however, it now makes sense why you're confident enough to share some of your asinine thoughts. bet your buddies eat the whole "football is rigged" stuff right out of your hand!
and purdy was healthy enough to play @ CU. he was just behind HH, just like he was all spring, summer and fall.
As a wise man once said 10 minutes ago, it’s starting to appear you’ve been checkmated, mate.
Weird how you completely ignored the facts that NW is a Top 50 defense, while completely changing the topic again. It's ok to admit you were completely wrong, especially when you just throw shit out there and hope it sticks.talk about agenda

The players/coaches who are actually winning us games despite one of the worst offenses we’ve had in the modern era.
the defense is meeting expectations (you are hilariously the only poster to have "liked" this)
the offense is doing enough to win behind Haarberg when they were doing enough to lose behind Sims
Dude learn to read the room. This isn't about wins or losses. THIS THREAD is SPECIFICALLY about how we do not have our Quarterback of the future yet. It's not about wins and losses. You and drunk ass Kong keep derailing this thread and making it about everything else besides our QB situation.
As far as being upset about us being a defensive team. I have no clue where you pulled that one out of your ass. I was simply stating that Rhule has basically stated that our success is because of the defense and we go as the defense goes. Which in turn shits all over Kongs theory that HH is the reason for the turn around.
Hope this helps. Next time stay on topic. Thanks bud.

That's awful rich coming from you
Right. I also called the D being better than most will expect after attending the spring game. The offense does enough to win behind a leading defense that keeps the score low, because next year’s starting QB is not on the roster, which is the title of the thread.
care to make it interesting?
I'll bet the 2024 starting QB is, indeed, on the roster.
name your number.
Little birdie (same one that told me Betts had left the team) said NU will be making a play for the KU quarterback.
Don't get me wrong, he looked to be giving great effort and showed quickness. I would just be cautious with a data set of 23 carries.
Fleeks was averaging 73 yards per carry at one time, and it was all from the Michigan game. Didn't look do hot Saturday.
I'll sign that petition. Heck, I'll go door to door.
And...I will just leave this here

HH is the best quarterback on the roster this year and gives the team the best chance to win the rest of the way. I don't think there's any question about that.
But Rhule definitely needs to hit the transfer portal or recruit a QB during the off-season. I like HH a lot. The kid's a baller and has that toughness Nebraska QBs of old had. I do, however, think the position needs a big upgrade in talent going forward.

The injured starter or the backup that is now starting? Looks like QB1 and QB2 are both seniors.
Is he better than what we got?And...I will just leave this here

Interesting. He is a senior and has had injuries the past 2 years where he missed a considerable amount of time.
Yeah, I have no idea, just info I get like 10th hand (ironically if I had 10 hands I would be treating my body like an amusement park).
He's actually a junior this year in terms of eligibility because his first year was 2020, which doesn't count because it was the COVID year. He's played in three games this year, so he will be a senior next year if he plays in two more games this year. If he plays in less than two more game this year, he could redshirt and be a junior next year.

If there's a chance he might transfer here, we should hope that he doesn't play in more than one more game this year.
I know you are right but this makes my head spin. That covid year was so stupid and continues to be so stupid.
That said, he would be the best (second best?) QB in the Big Ten next year.
Your stats are apples to oranges in basically every sense of the term. HH has started 5 games and played in 6 against some of the worst defenses any team will ever face. And he's a third year sophomore, Duggan was a freshman.
Look, we can sit here and manipulate "stats" all day. I've seen them both play. The ole' eyeball test. So, tell you what...if Haarberg ends up being a runner up Heisman winner, by all means, bump this post and I'll happily eat crow.
And to clarify, I'm an HH guy and I actually think he may be able to improve enough to keep playing beyond this year. But enough to be a Heisman runner up? No chance.
People only use the "apples to oranges" bit when somebody has made them feel stupid
So can you show me where you predicted Duggan to be Heisman runner up? Surely you knew before his senior year what a talent he was
Duggan was benched for the kid currently playing heading into his best season
He didn’t even pass his own coach’s eyeball test
