No way. Not in this case. If Rhule is as attached to Sims as some believe, there is no way Rhule starts anyone else against perhaps the weakest team on the schedule. That is a recipe for a controversy he doesn't need.
Sounds like

- Start date
agreed
I think Sims is legitimately hurt and would be shocked if he's in pads on Saturday.
I don't care what the reason or circumstances are as it pertains to Sims (known or behind the scenes). I just want to see someone else get a shot. If HH sucks then we will know. We sorta know about Purdy after last year. Then it's a matter of he sucks, he sucks and he sucks and Nebraska is in for a long year. As many others said, tear that portal apart looking for a QB and don't forget the bag of cash.
Haarberg has lived with both Fidone and Ervin
did not know that
can't hurt from a chemistry standpoint

So we should speed up the tempo and give opponent more plays and put defense back on the field after a quick 3 and out? Sounds like great strategy 👍 👌 👏
On the opposite, I had a buddy tell me this morning he was told sims recovering faster and might be available. 😵💫
Yeah, he will have to be in street clothes, you can't add that extra pressure to HH of looking over his shoulder.
I'm curious if Woche can at least be a game manager? He doesn't have to be Tommy Armstrong or Eric Crouch, but if he can at least maintain possession down the field and get us in the red zone consistently I like our odds a lot.
wow
this guy's infinitely more bullish on HH than even me:

Kongs mom, that's why he hates him
I don't care who leads this team. Don't turn the ball over and play the guy who gives us our best chance of winning. Period. Just win.
Yeah, if we had a roster choked with 4 and 5 star QBs, we'd be bitching at each other nonstop which was best. Give us ANYONE who can move the ball effectively and help put points on the board and no one's gonna care. That's where we're at.
HH gets his first start in the first game at Memorial Stadium for the new staff this year, in it’s 100 year anniversary when Haarberg’s grandpa helped build that stadium.
Big game coming?
Big game coming?
Scripted
You know the announcers will mention all of these things.
All HH has to do is catch snaps. If he can do that and limit rookie style mistakes he will be better than sims. Sims reminds me of Taylor Martinez without the amazing plays to go along with his awful plays.
He'd probably be a pretty damn good qb in this system.

If he's not at least 90% good why even roll him out there?
Taylor had amazing acceleration. Sims seems to have above average speed but not the kind of speed that would seem to keep d-coordinators up at night. I don't think I've seen anything amazing out of Sims yet.
And yet he outran Colorado's safety, Shilo Sanders, on his touchdown. NFL Draft Scout.com shows Shilo Sanders at 4.58 and Sims at 4.54. I'd say that's plenty fast for a QB.
That’s what I thought, too
And you won’t find a single post from me calling HH a ‘very good QB’
Though, one can dream
Exactly. He's got that long distance, long stride speed. Not as much of three burst/acceleration Martinez had. Just looks different, but results can be big.
Remember AM getting chased down all the time on big runs? Sims outran this guy for the long score. He def has the athleticism, and has to have IQ if he was at GTech. But for some reason he's got the yips playing for us moreso than he did there.
So he doesn't need to change plays based on the D, or call out blocking changes, or change routes by the WRs at the line, or read the safeties and ends on rushes?
nope. just catch snaps and not throw picks. Then we win
What's causing his turnovers is he can't see the field at even a basic level. Until you somehow fix that, you're going to continue to have major problems with turnovers and moving the ball.
Talked about on Sharp and Handley today that Sims rate of fumbles + interceptions/total snaps was the 2nd worst in the country the last 3 years behind some qb from Uconn. He is the worst this year and nearly double his prior 3 years. So if we can get him back to his average he would still probably be the worst in the country. Insanity.
Nonsense. He threw one pick against Colorado, yes an ill advised throw, but to say it isn't even at a basic level is just dumb. He is hitting on roughly 59% of his throws. Has he thrown some bad balls and made some bad reads, clearly. But to say it is on a basic level is showing a less basic knowledge level of college football.
