The guys proven that he has the speed and ability to beat the defense deep. Something we desperately need on the team. Unfortunately we haven't been able to get the ball to him. He tracked the deep ball on Saturday well. It was just poor accuracy.

No it isn't. That kind of money comes with big standards and bigger expectations. College sports is a big business now, and if the N is going to be paying big, then it should expect big things. The employees and the fans of this machine need to start having some pride and standards around here.
We use to be an 8 cylinder with a dual hemi. For two decades, we've been a 2 cycle engine that burns a lot of oil.
nevermind that 2 cycles produce more power per pound than most any other motor. waiting to hear you tell us how you're an engine expert next.
Did anybody think he was going to bring anything to the table this year ? He has speed but that's all I've seen. I noticed he plowed into a reciever when it looked like he had plenty of time to turn his head around.
He's played WR for parts of two years now. Exactly who has he beaten deep?
Do you not consider the play at 9:55 beating someone deep? There was also a play in the Minnesota game that was very under thrown.
(2) plays that I can think of in 3 games this year. For an offense he hasn't played a lot on.
I'll believe he can catch a pass when I see it. All I've seen the kid do for 1+ years is make mistakes.
He has a tendency to either make no play or just a bad play. I'm looking forward to him to actually doing something one of these days. Till then, he has to prove he's capable of being an asset considering he keeps losing his DB spot, and his KO return duty from last year.
I was right about Frost after the first game, same with Riley. Think I know what I'm talking about. I think Rhule has a high ceiling and I hope he's here a long time. That said, I've seen some concerning things too. Hope it gets fixed.
😂 I didn’t offer anything on who I think should play what. I’m not going to talk down on the coaching staff. A couple months ago it was all good things about Rhule and staff and 3 games in everyone knows more than they do. I know who I would like to see play QB going forward and I agree with most people it should be Haarberg. But I’m not the coach, I’m not at practice and not in team meetings. I don’t know anything going on but what we are all told and what we watch. There is a lot more to it than game day.
It's small mindedness that comes with hating who was hired before the guy even makes it to campus.
Ha, you've got to be the dumbest person on this board and that is saying something.
Tampa is a young pup. He'll understand when he gains wisdom like you and I.
@Jaemekon - This poster has nominated me for dumbest poster of 2023.
That's a joke Jaemekon. If you want a roster of dumb asses, have Sklar show you my Ignore Hopper. Dumb asses galore,
Winning any Jae award is an honor and a privilege.
Maybe I'll win the award for having the most massive Ignore Hopper.
Jae, I was just kidding, Just drawing a parallel to the good contributions Tampa makes compared to a hopper full on non-contributors.
The farther you keep my avatar from sklar, the better. lol
The really big award is: "The most arrogant, argumentative, knows everything about everything" poster.
Currently, that trifecta is a razor thin vote among king kong, dinglefritz, and myself.
PRO TIP: Just box all three.

Unfortunately I don't think I have access to that information. Would be kind of funny to see for sure!
OK. But honestly, who was he going to play?
Sims came in with a ton of experience. The number two guy was 5th on the depth chart last year, got no reps in practice, and was asked by Whipple to move to TE. I'm glad HH is developing now, but It's not hard to believe Sims outplayed him for most of camp.
You could make the case he should have gone with Casey or got a different portal QB. But Casey was coming off of major shoulder surgery, so just rolling with him wasn't really an option. A different, better potral QB could have been the answer, but there weren't a ton of great options.
Seems like the style of play that is the Rhule way is gonna require a big, physical guy calling the plays. We've seen both Sims and HH pull it down and run, and also have to scramble.
Its gonna take a Tagge, Frost, Sims or HH type of QB to take the hits they're gonna take.
I think there are those big, physical type QBs, the problem is they are likely gonna be A- runners, and C+ passers. Until the rare exception surfaces at NU, that's where NU is at.
So, no disrespect to Kaelin, but he doesn't look like the physical type. And until NU severly upgrades the quality of the OL with some quality depth, smaller guys like Casey, Smothers are gonna get pounded.

Oh yeah I’m sure you know it all. Just like so many other fans. Coaches should call you before games to come up with the game plan.
There were a ton of options in the portal at the qb position. I shared a list of over 50 of them that could perform better than what we've seen from Sims so far.
I don't know, I just looked, and last year was a pretty weak group. In hindsight, I would have liked someone else, but at the time I didn't see any obvious better choices that were realistic.
IMO what we’re seeing is an extended tryout period for most of the team who get game reps. Sometimes it doesn’t look good but I think they’re trying to find spots for guys with very good physical talent. It isn’t always going to be pretty with some of the track athletes Rhule is bringing in either. From my vantage point that PI on Hill was a case of multiple DBs getting caught looking in the backfield allowing a guy to get behind them.
I'm sure you know exactly which players, should be running which routes. Because...you know....you're at practice and do this full time lol
Yes you don't put your smallest guy on a delayed corner route as the primary receiver. You don't put Hill as a deep threat when he's very obviously not a deep threat.
