Quarterbacks

[TDLaww2020]

So ive been thinking about this hard, and i want to know what people think about this.

I think the starter should be Vedral. While i like Martinez, i think he needs a year to fully get back into football (i will catch flak for saying this), Gebbia and O'Brien, i'm not too comfortable with them, while both have run this offense in the past. I like Vedral, because he's had experience under Frost, and almost had the starting job. I think Gebbia will beat out O'Brien (Barely), Martinez will redshirt, and the battle will be between Gebbia and Vedral.

So who is quarterback this year?
As you know vedral is sitting out this season as a transfer

I think genbia will start the season
According to Martinez high school coach he was cleared to play but his dad kept him out
I think Martinez plays and works himself into the starting lineup late in the season
At he end of he day this offense will need a solid athletic quarterback to make it through a full season
I’m not confident gebbia is that guy

Vedral wants to coach
So he will be a very valuable asset to the program
Especially during the transition

So you've come to that conclusion without ever seeing any of them play within the new system, or without ever seeing some of them play period?

I’ll bet you whatever amount of money that Vedral won’t see the field this year. Name the amount, I’m in.

 

[Captain Nick]

I like Tommy Armstrong to win the starting job.

 

[TheBeav815]

How you gonna pick Vedral to win the job? Bro, do you even football?

So, you want us to start with an NCAA Violation right out of the gate?

I've given it no thought whatsoever, but will go out on a limb and say that most of the snaps will be taken by a player who's actually eligible.

I realize this is a message board where opinions are shared and discussed, etc. and the quarterback race will be interesting.

But how do you know any of this? At all? You have no idea what Obrien, Gebbia, Martinez are like as quarterbacks in any system, let alone our current system.

We are already doing the "backup qb is favorite guy on the team" tradition before the starting qb has been picked!!! Only at Nebraska!

If this is what he came up with after thinking long and hard, I'd hate to see his snap decisions.

 

[huskerfan1414]

Been thinking about this since Dec 6, 2017 as a matter of fact. That was join date, this is first post.

I kid, I kid, post more guy.

The best part about this thread is that even though the poster clearly doesn't know what he is talking about...it is still smarter than like 90% of the posts on this site.

What you talking bout Willis?

 

[Wyldcard]

I believe Gebbia will be hard to unseat barring injury, I'm sold on him as he has an ultra competitive attitude,makes quick snap decisions, a huge arm and has winner written all over him. The S&C will not also improve muscle mass and stamina, but will also improve his speed. As per Carriker, Gebbia runs a 4.59 40 yard dash and his speed should improve! http://www.omaha.com/huskers/carrik...cle_87e3c1a0-124d-5bac-86f5-4b8fbb176ee6.html

 

[barney44]

When did POB or Gebbia run this offense in the past?

They came from pro style spreads in high school, not spread option attacks..

Neither ran a pro style in HS. POB is less mobile than Gebbia. Gebbia has the skills to operate Frost's offense.

 

[Harry Caray]

There is no chance Gebbia runs a 4.59 40. Ameer Abdullah ran a 4.6 at the NFL combine. I'd like to know Carriker's source for this.

Bank it, he does!

 

[hddude55]

Vedra will start as per the OP. His coach abandoned him and took a job with some team whose name I forget, so Vedran will be allowed to play this year.

Pro style spread...

Not all spread offenses are created equal..

 

[barney44]

Yeah, he’s not faster than Abdullah..

Someone lied about 40 times which is far from unusual..

that's a pretty low hurdle to clear.

That really made me laugh. I can prove it by all of the vanilla Coke on my keyboard.

Once again you are wrong!

 

[TribecaHusker]

Vestal will start .... on the practice squad, since he has to sit out this year. My bet is on Gebbia, who is smart, dedicated and more talented than most believe. I don’t see O’Brien fitting Frost’s offense.

 

[barney44]

Lets see some sources then..

Sorry but they are not running Oregon ball at Calabasas.

Donovan still has eligibility left? Thought he was a DE?!?!

 

[Harry Caray]

Calabasas runs more of a Mike Leach Spread Offense than the Scott Frost Spread Offense. Gebbia didn't run the read option in high school.

How's this for an idea: Why don't we let the coaches decide who starts at QB.

Oh yeah! Tmart, when healthy, was bloody awesome. Crouch & Tmart had truly unbelievable acceleration. I don't know which one was quicker.....they were both absolutely unreal.

Check out 1:13, 1:52, and 2:18 in this hudl. Not saying POB will end up with the job. But pointing out he ran a lot in highschool and he isn't exactly Tanner Lee when it comes to running. I posted before that his senior rushing stats and Miltons were very comparable. Milton has more shake and bake, but POB is much bigger and stronger, which might come in handy in the B1G.

Don't count Tanner Lee out.

Do

Awesome.

Chill out. We’re just having some fun with this.

 

[HuskerDana]

Barring an injury, I would bank on Gebbia running this offense next year.

 

[Nebyank]

That's what I think as well. The guy will have the plays down and run enough to keep the defense honest. Gebbia will be the most effective distributor to all his new weapons . Vedral will really help all the candidates learning the system. Would be wonderful if Martinez could red shirt and provide a gap between he and Gebbia but time will tell.
