"That’s why Northwestern’s Clayton Thorson, a talented guy with more mobility and two years’ experience in the Big Ten, gets the slight nod over Lee.Thorson could be the Big Ten’s best pro quarterback prospect."

Yep. That's what all the pro scouts are saying too.

Never understood the dislike for McKewon before, but I admit I never read much from him. Now I'm starting to get it.

Ummmmm...no. Sam is a lot like Dirk. It's obvious their goal is to sell papers.
 
Yawn. Can we get to the season already? Who seriously gives a shit what this guy thinks? His opinion is no better than that of any couch potato armchair QB.

Pennsy - I had to chuckle when I read your post. I was reading all the negative comments on Sam and his opinion then I read your post. People, including you and I, are giving opinions left and right - what makes his worse?

It isn't worse. It just isn't any better either. So my point is we should pay it as much attention as we do to, let's say, Tom's Wife. Laughing

Sam's on the money as usual. You don't pick the guy who hasn't played a down in the B1G and crown him as the best. Who does that?

Ironic part is Sam was a regular on this board for years.

Long ago before getting paid by the Big Red he loved to rip Husker Fans on this exact board. To then make his living from Husker Fans was too much for me...that and he thinks he knows more about football than he does.

I am not saying he is wrong. I am saying I don't give a shit if he is right or wrong. His opinions mean nothing to me. There are lots of regular posters on this board whose opinions I respect far more.
 
SAM KNOWS ZERO FOOTBALL. I don't understand why people care what he thinks. He did not all of a sudden learn more football when he got to go to the beginning of practice and then record coach-speak after practice. Seriously, he makes the likes of Damon Benning look like Bill Belichick.

Sean Callahan spoke to a private group earlier this week. He said NFL scouts have Lee as a junior as the 4th best pro style QB on the board and he hasn't even played a down for the Huskers yet. He also said this will be the best QB play Husker fans have seen in a very long time. Hoppes will have a fantastic year with Lee under center.
 
Really? With phones, computers and the internet its not even current news by the time you buy a paper.
Holding a paper, book, or magazine is still part of the experience for many people.
When it comes to Sam I just cant stand his writing style.
 
Out of curiosity......If Thorson was at Nebraska and Lee at Northwestern would you still take Lee?
Hard to say without seeing him against competition here at Nebraska, but I put a lot of stock in what the experts are saying, and I don't hear them talk about Thorson the way they talk about Lee.

If we were a spread option team sure. But we aren't. For this offense, I gotta go with Lee.

My only question...who the hell still buys newspapers??
Lots of people buy newspapers, I assume most buy the on-line version which is delivered at 4:00 A.M for me. Great high school and college sports, plus local news. Cost is less than half for the old delivered paper version which got wet and thrown in the bushes.

Fair response. Sometimes we tend to fall in love with our own by human nature. Sometimes reversing the scenario allows us to be a little more objective. I agree its hard to judge because we haven't seen enough of TL. In Thorsons defense he is getting a lot of discussion by the "so-called experts too". Although I'm cautious with any so-called expert because of the nature of being politically correct when speaking.

Well then it's settled. And no other qb will improve their stock throughout the year.
 
So I guess no one thinks NU will win the West?

Would you agree that NU needs help to win the west? We could go 10-2, beating every western division foe, but losing to Ohio state and Penn State. Wisconsin very easily loses only one conference game to us.

There road is easier than ours. End of story.
