Who is starting QB game #1 ?
- Thread starter NUSouth
- Start date
Because he already gave us the best chance to win last year and we have no idea if he will give us the best chance to win next year. I didn’t say he would give us a better chance to win over riaola, but simply that statement was already not true last year and unknown this year
I'd argue that HH gave us the best chance last year compared to Sims (super low bar) but not Purdy.
You can't compare DR to any other 5 star. Has there ever been another 5 star that signed with a team that hasn't been to a bowl game in 7 years?
So your argument is that DR gives us the best chance to win week 1 over HH, knowing DR has never attended a single practice as a college player and HH started for more wins than any qb we had last year? And you think that’s a fact and not an opinion?
What kind of freshman? You and dingle are trying SO ****ing hard to be the I told you so, I knew it, I warned you guys it's ridiculous.
Freshman make mistakes. They are not finished products. They can be really good though. And ...........
If he doesn't completely suck ass like last years 3, we are better off huh?
Of course he will look like a freshman. What's the difference? All our qb's looked like freshman for the last 5+ years.
Let’s dissect this post.
Sure DR has never attended a single practice as a college player.
Last year has absolutely no bearing on this year. HH didn’t win anything. Rhule and Satt had to design a running offense for all the QBs since we had Simms and HH.
Unless they design and practice two different offenses, then you can’t say HH gives a better chance to win, because they won’t be practicing an offense that fits him. It will be very limited in scope and the players will have limited reps with that offense.
Freshman mistakes aside, Raiola will give us the best chance to win.
I think DR could be great here, but unreasonable fan expectations could lead to discontent and DR transferring if things don’t start as well as many think it should. Tempering expectations is healthy and this fanbase needs patience. People need to pump the brakes
What are the fan expectations? If people think we’re playing for a Natty, they’re crazy. But I don’t think that’s the case. I’m not even sure if people think we make a bowl game next year.
Derp… It will be even uglier on here if they start HH and he loses. Fact
Raiola. The season opener could not be any more disappointing if someone else did.
ALL the QBs on this team better be working their asses off right now. None of them were prepared last year and they all know it. Time to put in that work. Ef the girlfriends, the video games and throw that ****ing weed away and get your asses to work. No excuses! GBR.
DR is better than either Martinez we had. Hands down. He will start day 1. He has a few soft games to get the jitters out. He’s an elite talent that can make the transition better than most. He will be fine.
I don’t think Remington actually follows Nebraska Football. My guess is he would struggle to even name players on the team. Nothing I’ve heard him say regarding the program ever seems to make much sense.
Yes we do We have another true freshman.and we have a kid that’s a TE playing QB.
What is the fan expectation for Raiola? Honestly, the expectation is he will be better than what we had last year. And that’s an incredibly low bar. Some are saying 10 wins, sure, but that’s upper end. That’s if he lights it up. If he doesn’t, the low bar from fans is a bowl game.
I don’t think that expectation is gonna run DR off. In fact, I suspect DR’s aspirations are gonna be higher than that himself.

Not OP but it’s is 100 percent fact . I would honestly like to meet you . Can’t believe anyone is this dense.
It’s definitely clear enough for me to think of it as a fact.
DR Starts game 1 unless he gets dinged up somewhere along the way.
Not knocking HH but DR has been training n playing qb forever. It’s nice to discuss but HH will never be a better option to win a game before DR. FACT?
Those of y’all using Frazier and Lawrence as an example are actually helping the other side of the argument. Both proved to be ready as freshmen and both played better than the players that started the season ahead of them. It was the coaches that weren’t ready to start a true freshman more than it was the player not being ready or needing a few games.
In this all-too-early question I'll guess that HH is the starter game #1.
If DR is everything he's expected to be I could see him getting almost equal playing time and progressing to the starting role by mid season.

That could be the dumbest thing I have read in some time.
DR could be 50% of his potential and be better than HH and give a better shot to win games.
I've never understood the thinking that coaches wouldn't want to play the guy who gives them the best chance to win at any position. Maybe Raiola turns out to be a bit underwhelming compared to his hype, but he's a big kid, has a big arm, has had access to elite training, and most importantly, will be in Lincoln for spring ball. Also, NU just hired a guy with a legit QB coaching resume. The season starts with UTEP, CU, UNI and Ill. That's a nice early season break in period.
Haarberg has the benefit of actually having played against P5 defenses and he knows the entire offense inside and out now. There’s a chance that he wouldn’t make some of the mistakes he made last fall. That said, I’m not arguing that he should be the starter game one. That’s a judgement that our staff has to make after weeks of practice. The odds are that Heinrich will be QB2.
