this is also why I don't expect him to transfer and nobody else should, either
he has 2 more years of full expenses paid college experience at his disposal here

Yep. Only a Nebraska kid is mentally or physically tough or able to improve. You’re a riot.
Purdy most definitely can run and has. He doesn’t have to have great arm strength. He needs to make good decisions and be accurate.
He literally has none of those characteristics and no he can't run. You are nuts..
Jenkins has been referred to as a mauler. Always a good thing for a guard.
this is my initial assessment of purdy following his first spring game here, complete with a film clip
he has had a lot of opportunities to prove me wrong, and he's done nothing but prove me right with his play
He was the lone OL recruit in Austin's last class.
Great get from Jersey. The eastern contacts that this staff has is something I like. NU has gotten great players from that part of the country.
Go back and look at ALL of his limited game video. He can and has run. He’s a better athlete than some think.
I don’t think he was Austin’s. There was a story there, someone knew him from their connections, maybe Dawson? And convinced Frost to take him.
here's him in his first start
worst game by a Nebraska QB (maybe any position) in program history before getting benched for a kid who's 2nd string at a program in its first year in FBS
here's him vs michigan
2nd play he completes the longest air yards pass of his college career (18 yards)
I really don't understand why some of these Qbs don't go play for a FCS or Div. II school. I am not just talking about Nebraska, but all big schools. Sooner or later it has to be crystal clear these kids are not going to get to play. Go have fun. If they really like football and want to play, I would think they would jump at a chance to play at a lower-level school. Seems like it would be more fun than wearing a hat on backwards and a contrasting jersey on the sideline during a game. A few years back the Huskies had 4-5 highly recruited quarterbacks on their roster. Two of them played against one another last Saturday. Sam Huard at Cal Poly-SLO vs Jacob Sirmon at Northern Colorado (my father's alma mater). Dylan Morris, a Seattle suburb product was the Washington starter before DeBoer and Penix came to town. He has said that the reason why he has not left is because he wants to coach after college. In cases like this I can completely understand staying.

I agree
but in purdy's case I wouldn't transfer, either. he wouldn't start anywhere in the Big Sky.
HH had a horrible game last Saturday. He knows it and I'm sure it ate him up alive inside. Maybe I shouldn't have gotten my scarlet-colored glass out of the case this year, but I did recently. I think HH finally puts it together Saturday and throws for close to 300 on a damp, cold afternoon. Rhule said they plan to be "more aggressive". And I think Heinrich is finally ready to stop thinking about it and just play. I think they will roll him out more, and if not, the patchwork Oline, TE and running back can protect long enough for him to find the young, speedy receivers.
Chubba Purdy had back to back 1000 yard rushing seasons as a high school junior and senior. He ran sub 4.5 40s and was a 4 star dual threat recruit with offers from at least 20 P5 teams including Michigan State, KSU, ASU, FSU, Etc etc. The dude most definitely can run.
Ruhle has even mentioned his speed. Anyone who has listened to him knew this. I'm not sure why someone would debate THAT for the life of me.
Say u don't think he's good. Or he hasn't shown his speed at this level. But to flat out deny that the kid has some pretty good wheels is kinda cray iyam.
Holla
I'm certainly not denying this or arguing it
my thoughts about purdy are purely based on his extreme lack of arm strength and perhaps even more extreme lack of poise/moxie
he can't play at the collegiate level because of those two things
What’s ironic is the same guys who bitched incessantly about our two previous OCs aren’t a little bit curious if the guy might be better in a different system. That’s my point. It’s curiosity and not an advocacy for him. He was a bigtime recruit which this fanbase would have lost their mind over coming out of high school.
he looked like an 8th grader throwing in the spring game
my opinion is based on what he's put on tape at FSU and his games/scrimmages here. I first posted about his lack of arm strength after the very first pass he attempted in a Husker uniform in April of 2022.
unless the surgery turned him into this AFTER the spring game and his appearance at CU:
it doesn't matter
0.0 juice

we're not curious because OCs don't magically give guys college arms.
everyone but you saw all they needed to see last year.
he doesn't have it. it's clear as day.
he physically cannot push the ball down the field and he shits himself the second the ball is snapped (I will even give him a pass on this point given the OL & OL coach)
first one was bad. 2nd, while not a great throw, hit Fidone in the hands.
You have no idea what he could or would do this year. Kinda amazing that he was listed as a co#2 with HH given he’s got a noodle arm and feet like lead anchors. 😂😂

I do have an exact idea of what he would do
so do the coaches
which is why he holds a clipboard on game day
You’re gonna completely lose your mind when he ends up our starter next year😂😂😂😂 I on the other hand am fine with whomever they run out there

keep on telling yourself that while you line up for the two-in-one flu/covid booster
there is a zero % chance chubba starts another game here. I honestly have no clue why you continue to bring his name up. I have a better chance of contributing on the field than he does.
makes you look clueless & absolutely destroys what little credibility you might have left.
I think we need to be patient with the Oline going forward. Penalties drive me nuts because they are under the players' control, but with the new blood coming in we're going to see more. Hope I'm wrong.
Purdy will never start for NU by winning the job. It's absolutely amazing you are convinced that he has these intangibles that he has never shown. It's almost as if you want to be so right about your opinion on HH that you are clouded with in actual reality. Just cheer on the QB that is 4-1
D1 Football is way different than HS. If he was this god of football he'd be starting and not 3rd string. We've seen what he can do and he sucks. He has the deer in headlights look and D1 football is too much for him.
We’ve seen what he could do with Verdusco and Whipple as his QB coaches It’s a false narrative to repeat the idea that he can’t run or pass. He can and he has. Whipple for instance coached his QBs to stay in the pocket and the QB run game didn’t exist in his offense. We all saw what Frost’s OCs did for Adrian. Nothing.
