Tanner Lee isn't even the best QB in the B1G West
- Thread starter suhnami
- Start date
Did that actually happen? I don't know if writers crowned Russell Wilson as the best in the B1G that year he transferred to Wisconsin. He certainly had a lot of accolades from his time in the ACC.
- For the 2008 season, RW was named as the first-team All-ACC quarterback.
- Prior to 2009 was named to the pre-season all-ACC football team.
- During 2009, Wilson broke Andre Woodson's all-time NCAA record of 325 consecutive pass attempts without an interception.
- In 2010 He led the ACC in passing yards per game (274.1) and total offensive yards per game (307.5)
So, RW had a pretty good resume in the ACC before transferring.
Tanner Lee has some good press, but statistic wise, here is what he looks like:
So, I don't know if people should be going around voting TL to the best in the B1G West or not.. I probably would not.

If Tanner Lee had gone to Iowa or Minnesota we would be laughing at his stats from Tulane and rolling our eyes if "so called experts" thought he was going to be great.
I think it is more than okay not to crown him just yet.

You may be right on this one, regarding if he went to Iowa or Minnesota... but where things are different for me is that it isn't only the experts raving about TL, but we keep hearing really good things coming out of camp as well that has me excited.
I have no problem not crowning TL as the best in the west until after the season is over. But I will say I am excited about the potential he shows... it wouldn't surprise me at all if he has that title at the end of the season, but we will have to wait and see.

Maybe not, but you asked who would vote for a player who's never taken a snap in the Big Ten as the best QB in the division. As shown by Wilson, it's not unheard of. I do agree Lee has stiff competition, but given the rave reviews he's received from many people in the know, someone might pick him as a dark horse. There were certainly games were Thurson looked pretty average.
Do you have a link to your Russell Wilson example or was that just something you made up?
I have no problem with that comment at all. Thorson should be regarded as the better QB right now. That's usually what occurs when one of the QBs has been a two year starter for a Power 5 team, and the other hasn't taken a snap at a Power 5 school yet.
Do you have anything better to do with your time?
Seriously, I tried to be objective and you follow it with this crap? No wonder people have trouble with your posting.
Douche.
And which experts were raving about TA? Which ones were raving about TM? Who was the last Husker QB that was potentially projected to be a high draft pick to actually play QB in the NFL?
Yeah, it happens every single year. Got it.
But keep being a douche in just about every post you make. No conversation from you, no dialog back and forth. Just douchery.

LOL. There, there... it'll be ok. You said practice reports, not potential draft projections, I underlined and bolded it for you, still too much to expect I suppose. My bad.
Well princess, look at the underlined again, and you will see the part about the experts raving about the QB... You underlined it, not me. reading a challenging thing for you? Because when I talk about the experts raving coupled with the reports coming out of fall camp, I'm pretty sure that doesn't happen EVERY. SINGLE. YEAR.
So answer the question genius, when in the last 20 years did the experts rave and project our QB to actually play QB in the NFL? I'll even provide some names... Scott Frost? Eric Crouch? Joe Dailey? Jamal Lord? Zac Taylor? You tell me... which of these projected to QB in the NFL?
What's that? EVERY. SINGLE. YEAR?
I didn't think so. Enough with the sophomoric, snide comments. Actually post something of content rather than make fun of other posters. I've never seen you post anything of substance. NEVER.

He goes after out of state players, and Black "specialist" position players as being lazy and fragile. What's not substantial about that?
Yep, some people just like the 'feel' of thumbing through the pages of the paper. I'm not one of them, because I haven't read a newspaper in quite some time, but I have a friend that reads both the Lincoln and Omaha papers from front to back each day. I would suspect he has to wash his hands each day after reading both. The ink stays on your hands if you go through that many pages.
You're the one calling names on the internet, hypocrite.
Your comment was about practice reports. I've already said that's what I was referencing. If you want to try and save face by turning it into something else, enjoy.
As for the content, there's this thread... in which you're participating. If you felt made fun over me pointing out that practice reports are glowing every year, wow, you're sensitive. Must suck going through life all wishy-washy. Good luck to ya.
Sigh...
What you underlined - not me, but you - was a combination of scouts raving about Tanner Lee as well as what was coming out of fall camp - Practice reports. It was both that I was referring to and you still can't seem to understand that, even though I made it clear in subsequent posts.
If you merely meant practice reports, why underline the part about scouts raving over TL as well?
I'm sorry that I have to keep explaining to you what you highlighted, but facts are facts. I wouldn't have responded the way I did if you left out the raving scouts part, but you didn't, now, did you?
And by the way, this is the only post you have in this entire thread that had substance of any kind. Point out another that had actual substance and not snide remarks.
Even the OP you had was just a link and a quote to fire up the masses. This is just what you do...
Typical response from you. Don't address the post that proves you can't read what you underlined, instead post another snide comment.
Not surprised one bit by this.
Your board is awesome. Have you guys considered a Cage match? Its like the same 12 people just go rounds over different topics. FWIW the guy was average at best for Tulane and while the husker hopeful are quick to point out the talent he has now will be much better I might remind you that those DE's will be closing on him faster and the CB's and Safeties will be covering space faster than he is used to as well. Happy opening week good luck with ARK ST.

I think you need to consider that he was sacked a truckload both his true freshmen and sophomore years, and still threw for 2,000 yards his true freshmen season, and completed 55% of his passes. 52% as a true Soph. He will finally have a healthy talented OLine in front of him. He was running for his life at Tulane. With a year running our system, and more time to throw the ball, I believe he will take a pretty big step forward.
But admittedly he still shouldn't be considered the best of the West yet without taking a snap at Nebraska. Thorson should be considered the best until proven otherwise.
You make a good point here. When is the last time any NFL scout has given rave reviews about our starting QB? Let alone multiple NFL scouts?? Dave Humm in the 70s? That should give us all a little more optimism vs previous years.
I posted this in another thread. In Lee's 2 years playing at Tulane, the top two RBs managed 1221 yards in 2014 (11% on that yardage on two plays) and 956 yards in 2015 (15% on two plays!), opponents didn't have to worry about the run. Lee was sacked 42 times in 19 games, an average of 2.2 sacks per game. Tulane had not running game to speak of and on many downs the opposing D played hunt the QB.
