Still a square peg/round hole situation. Lee takes away a dangerous element to the philosophy. I'm not saying it wouldn't work or that it never really has, just that it's not the direction we're headed. My biggest issue with Lee is that he's a pocket type and we both know that a consistent pocket at Nebraska isn't going to happen next season. I'd say the biggest benefit to him running this offense would be his experience, that does carry quite a bit of weight.

Besides getting beat up and hurried all the time,
Besides the defense playing total pass defense when we got down 28,
Besides your OC putting you under center and running play action when you are down three scores,
The guy came out and took his lumps with the press after horrible losses.
Despite the year Nebraska had, the guy has stones and will always be a Cornhusker to me.

I think Tanner Lee should be a first round pick. The guy comes in after a year off and puts up the second highest passing yards in B1G and he did it with an OL that was poor at blocking period. The defense gives up massive points and the O cannot run the ball, which allows Ds to key in on him. Yet TL and the WRs still fought. What other QB in the nation could have done better in the situation he was thrown into?
Lee was terrible against Northern Illinois and because that loss was so embarrassing, a lot of people never got past it. Even though he was much better in conference play (Northwestern being the only real exception), some will always define him by the NIU loss.
And while that's not fair, it's what happens when you play QB in a high-profile program. Remember when the self-proclaimed smartest guys in the room swore up and down that this team - with its terrible O-line, weak defense and poor running game - was going to be all the rage as soon as it was no longer saddled with Tommy Armstrong?
Mayfield is MUCH MUCH more accurate than Lee. Actually, I believe he had a completion % of 71%, which I believe led the country. He's an idiot, but he is very accurate. I also think Frost was being very kind.
Source on this? I doubt Frost told him that he would be the guy.... especially given his comments that every position is open for competition
Uh, I think he also led the nation in INTs. He threw for a lot of yards....and a LOT of INTS.
It was a quote of Tanner from a newspaper article. I don't remember which one. That is in fact what Frost did when he took over at UCF too BUT he lost his job when he got hurt.
Thank you. I think I read that on the OWH website originally. Maybe it was in a Rivals story.
Thank you. You don't need to be a burner to run Scott's offense... just need to have quick decision making and know where to go with the football and get your five yards and don't fumble when asked to run.
Just my opinion and some supposition (who cares about facts
). In Riley's system a play is called, receivers run a predetermined route, the QB throws to predetermined spots. A little aside, this is why Keith Williams didn't fit, he is a precision route running coach. If it's a called run play, you run. If it's a called pass play, you pass.
There is a whole world of difference between Riley's system and a hurry-up, no-huddle offense. We will be going back to route trees, QB/receivers reading the defense, and hopefully only occasionally throwing to a wide open defensive back.
Just a guess, but Frost might want a QB that can make great decisions on when to throw or when to run post snap, be able to read coverages (in tune with the receivers), and intuitively/instinctively pass the ball.
There may be some "jilted lovers" on this board. People that thought TLee was gonna be a savior, and when he wasn't, those people may have swung to the other end of the spectrum. TLee had incremental improvement, and I would guess, continue improving over time. TLee does not fit this offense. Good luck Tanner Lee.

No. Just people who appreciated that we were probably better with him in Riley's offense than without him. I personally appreciated how he took some monster hits, didn't complain and just got back up and played. I appreciated how he took media questions even when things went poorly for him and how he didn't make excuses or blame the fans, his O line or coaches. Good guy. Good front man for a team. Good teammate. I do agree he's not a great fit for Frost's offense and I wish him all the best going forward.
