Tanner Lee vs POB and Gebbia
- Thread starter inWV
- Start date
That is why all of us need to take a wait and see approach before any of these quarterbacks are anointed the next big thing.
Well, I mean, he's no Sam Keller, but....That is why all of us need to take a wait and see approach before any of these quarterbacks are anointed the next big thing.
This is true... but at the same time it has been stated repeatedly he had no Oline at Tulane and they switched offenses to one not suited for his skills.
This is the same argument we had been hearing about Riley as well... he only won 50% of his games at Oregon State so it's gonna be the same here... so far that isnt the prevailing sentiment the longer he is coach here... it seems like Lee is receiving high praise from multiple sources, which has me optimistic about his improvement as a QB here in this place.
Fully expect Lee to be QB next season. Wish he could have worked with some of the WRs we have this year. What's coming back ain't chopped liver, but Westerkamp, Reilly, Moore, and Carter leave a big hole. With a pass first QB, we'll need top WRs to make the offense run. A couple of true freshman will have to be counted on.
His career completion percentage better go way up with our offense. I expect it will. Gates coming back, plus Knevel with a year's experience, will help a lot.
Good to hear praise in this thread of POB. Looked like he was in over his head in spring practice, but as was pointed out, he's just a young 'un. Plenty of time for him to improve. Fully expect the big competition starting next spring to be POB vs Gebbia for the #2 spot, to succeed Lee. For 2017 if it's tight Gebbia may redshirt and POB would win by default, at least for next year.

One advantage O'Brien may have is that the staff has really developed a feel for the QB run game and he is the best suited to that role. That said, I would put money on Lee starting next season.
Correct. I believe someone on here said that.
The announcers said Fyfe had been warming up since TA started cramping.
Yes, whoever wins the start - lets hope we see both getting real game experience for N early. Sounds like POB could be more of a running threat; while both should pass well, and Tanner will dissect you early with all his game experience. He is really going to have all the tools here. ...... The coaches have been seeing it on the field - the outdoor practice field, the indoor practice field, against our best D players, running multiple offenses with various players ( including our #1's ), on film of our practices; on film of his starts in another conference; in the film and meeting ant testing rooms; .... on and in ...........// Well lets hope he looks good to the fans at the Spring game; would hate to see the coaches shorted on fan opinion; even with pro scouts at practice at times.GBRI look forward to "seeing" it on the field.
This was exaggerated, POB was tossing with Fyfe to get him warmed up.
Tanner Lee has an absolute cannon. He has arguably the most arm talent I've seen from a Husker QB in a long time. His numbers weren't great at Tulane but he has a full year to learn the Offense and work with Riley and Langs. Tommy has become a much better QB than I ever thought possible due to their coaching. I think for Lee the sky is the limit.
When people look back at an average completion % for Tanner before he got here - I haven't taken the time to break it down; but a poster mentioned a 13-36 game and another as poor performances. Another poster pointed out it was under a wave of sackers from a far superior team. A couple games were mentioned like that - my point then; he must have really excelled vs slightly better or equal teams to be over 50% completed, after several teams rocked his team. He has come to a great program; with great coaches.
For accelerating growth and skills.

Lee is well liked by coaches and studies his butt off. Not that the others don't, but gonna be hard to dethrone Lee for the next couple years. Looks good on paper how each contribute every year. Having back ups is where we need to be, as the great teams have those. If Lee isn't playing well, it'll be nice to have POB to come and show off. What a great recruiting problem we have! GBR

The word from Devaney should be all you need. The guy's NFL job was evaluating NFL talent.
When Lee transferred I was talking to a guy from TU that thought Nebraska was getting a special player. I didn't even ask him about him specifically, I just mentioned I was a Nebraska fan and he started gushing about how talented he was.
You do realize that "NFL Guys" that evaluate NFL talent have been wrong just as many times as they have been right? I hope Tanner is lights out the next two years but lets wait and see before we give him a Heisman Trophy and put him on the Husker Mount Rushmore.
