he's had 1 drive and it ended in an INT. that's a 100% turnover rate.
I do not doubt the bolded
Whose your QB vs the Badgers?

Heck with it go with Purdy, what’s the worst he can do, fumble and throw and interception just like the other 2 qbs do? Maybe he lights it up passing against Wisconsin
He doesn't have to light it up.
Just not ****ing it up is enough to win.
If we could have just had "don't **** it up" play from our QB's this season, we'd already have 2-3 more wins.
If you are critical of Purdy, you obviously don’t want the Huskers to win. Isn’t that how it worked with HH? 🤣🤣🤣 smh
Jack Woche, IMG Academy & Ole Miss. Seriously, it has to go back into Heinrich Haarberg's hands. He was the one that led this team to 5-3 and has positive value after this year. Who knows what Sims and Purdy will do. They shouldn't be expected to be contributors next year just because they might not have any where else to go.
So did Sims. Purdy is 0-1. The point of my post is valid. Haarberg eats, lives and plays for Nebraska football. These next two games can be won but only with a never die love for why you came here in the 1st place. Transfer QBs from teams that had better records than ours do not necessarily fit into that desire.
How is Purdy 0-1? He played one drive in the fourth quarter.
Your boy produced zero yards passing, zero yards rushing AND turned the ball over. He didn't even get us close to scoring.
You've painted yourself in a corner and just keep painting away.
It's a pathetic comparison but Purdy"s qb rating was 77.9 to HH"s 0.6.
He was also our second leading rusher averaging 11 yards per rush.
Agree, I’m worried what we do if he gets hurt. Walk on or sims ? Maybe sims and tell him hand it off to running back and get out of the way.
He led the team 90 yards to the goal line and tossed an interception with victory in his grasp. Maryland moved down the field and hit a FG for the winning score. Purdy is 0-1. Not much different than relievers in baseball.
There is no such statistic in football. Did anyone hit a home run?
Chubba had glory of starting QB on a bowl team and he spit the bit. That rating didn't do Purdy a damn bit of good did it?
It's Woche time with Longval next up.
Then maybe some secondary guy who has experience being a QB in high school that could run some wildcat

Maryland's FG was not much different than a walk off HR in MLB. Purdy had a win in his hands much like a closer but could not finish his opponent. Nebraska lost. Chubba is 0-1.
I think this is the proper take a way (pun intended)
He showed enough to start while others showed enough to be benched.
It was a terrible read and throw. Just because you and I would have handed the ball off there, doesn’t get him off the hook for a back breaking TO.
He’s more of a pass threat than Heinrich and I believe he’ll be less of a turnover risk than Sims. IF Heinrich isn’t able to run at near 100% I think the choice is clear
Ohhhhh, I thought I saw it at -7.
Badgers BLOOOOOW, they might be the worst team in the west this year. That hire is going to turn out to send them back to the Pre-Barry days when they were a joke.
That is true. It’s also true that was his first drive of the year after only getting 3rd team reps. We’re kind of down to who can move the team and screw up less. A hobbled Haarberg gives us nothin.

Usually just read all the post in here. Since there is now no chance at burning a red shirt is there any other QB's on the roster to try? At this point it doesn't matter and there's nothing to lose.
None that are on scholarship.. Believe there is two walk-ones but let’s get serious with only two games left to make a bowl game..
I feel like this is the 4th time this has been said throughout this season.
You ❤️ Haarberg, and yet you somehow, some way, think you have room to be critical of anyone, on any subject.
Suspiciously close to that big monkey's posts. Ghost account?
A healthy Haarberg still has to be the play, but I agree that if he's not at least 80%-90%, you have to go a different direction. In that case, it has to be Purdy.
I can see what the coaching staff saw in Jeff Sims. The dude looks like he belongs out there, and when he's not turning it over, he looks by far to be the most natural athlete at the QB position. Unfortunately, every tenth snap or so he makes a catastrophic mistake. It is mind-boggling; I think its a "focus" issue. It's like he cannot comprehend that every single snap is critically important. His mistakes are pure carelessness. I think I subscribe (pure speculation) to the theory others have posited that he is a good "practice" player and that he unfortunately carries a practice-level of intensity into games.
Haarberg is the complete opposite. He is not a natural QB, but he is a tough kid with a lot of heart. I'm sure he is working his tail off at getting better; unfortunately, aside from having a live arm, he doesn't appear to have the tangible traits needed to be a good quarterback. His mistakes are the result of a lack of skills.
From what I've seen of Chubba Purdy, I believe the assessment that he is a "good passer" and "knows the offense". He looks like a real QB - at an FCS or D-II school. His shortcomings are really just a lack of P5 level talent.
No matter what, I hope this past week and the current reality will force the coaches to realize that the recipe for any kind of success this weekend will be to pound the rock with our new best weapon, Emmett Johnson. He needs 25+ touches this week. I don't care if we run it three straight plays and punt a few times if it gives us the best chance to win.

Wasn’t he in on one series and turn the ball over on said series.. bourbon was flowing at this point in the game to make our offense watchable so i could be remembering wrong
