What an interesting point. I remember when Zac Taylor talked about being able to read DBs feet & hips and knowing which WR shoulder to throw to. I don't ever remember hearing what you just described, outside the NFL
Meanwhile, with GA getting clobbered by Bama, seems that DR really made a good choice...
Think about that… as good as Nebraska has historically been… never have we seen Pro QB play
I don't get it. You mean a paid "pro" QB, or one that went to the NFL, like Vince Ferragamo? I also presume DR is getting NIL.
Brook was probably the closest we’ve seen since Faragamo. Not really a fair assessment since we were not running an offense built for a pro qb until really 2003. And we’ve been terrible since then, so there’s that.
That’s not what the comparison is. We were talking about the last time Nebraska had a nfl level quarterback. That is the answer.
Yeah, almost as long as I've been a Husker fan. We've even had a QB who won the Heisman, and another that really should have, but he won Nattys with 3/4 of the Florida team unable to bring him down on a single TD play. Cool stuff, really. And Peyton Manning never beat us.
Yeah man idk, I'd like to believe this but I feel like he is underthrowing some of these balls. No need to place the ball like that if the receiver has the man beat, which they did a couple of those throws today for sure. I believe he has tried to intentional hit back shoulder a few times also today. So I think it's a little of both. I also thought he threw at least one of these balls off his back foot today but didn't see a replay of it. He has a cannon but that can sometimes be hard to control and might lead to trying to finesse it and subsequently underthrow.
I know last game vs UNI, Dylan admitted he underthrew the receiver, didn't put it where he wanted to. I was at that game and as I was leaving, I told my son it looked more like Dylan underthrew his receivers on a few balls. DR is a stud, I'm not nitpicking. I'll take a few underthrows from a true freshman QB.
Love the kid, but a good DB will pick off over half of those underthrown passes. Fortunately, aside from the Colorado kid, we haven't played against one. We will soon.
