What to do at QB?

We need to stabilize the offense and McCord can do that. Is he the guy to win a conference championship? Probably not - but we have bigger fish to fry like a winning season and going to a bowl before we worry about that.

I disagree. I think Kyle McCord is the best QB available in the Portal and if we can sign him, we'll be immediately favored to win the B1G West (or whatever divisional name or such it goes by in 2024).

In reality, all McCord needs to do is find the open WRs and not turn the ball over. With our defense and kicking game, 2024 (in my opinion) is looking amazing, despite the murderers' row of a schedule we play in November because we could quite possibly be 7-0 heading into Ohio State.

I'm drinking ALL the Koolaid and cannot wait to see what Matt Rhule does in Year 2.

:kool:

I **LOVE** JD Pickell's takes --- and this one is no exception.

As I said in another thread, we don't need 'razzle-dazzle,' we need a game manager. JD essentially said the same thing and opined that McCord is "just what the doctor ordered." I agree! :thumbsup:

And if we can also get the WR (¿Fleming?) from Ohio State AND McCord!?!?!?!? Our offense could be at least 50% better next season.

Think about it, an offense that's even 50% better, with half the turnovers, combined with our defense and kicking game? Shoot, we're looking at 10 wins minimum.

If we don't sign McCord then that'll dampen the outlook, but for now, gonna drink the Koolaid and be positive. I saw so much improvement in the Huskers on defense and the kicking game in 2023. All Coach Rhule has to do is improve the offense and keep everything else the same or better and we're looking at (most likely) a New Years Day Major Bowl invite and minimum 10 wins.

I love your enthusiasm, Husker99---and share it. For the record, my sense is that -- barring some unexpected hitch -- we're getting both of them.

But I'm gonna refrain from bold 2024 predictions. Mrjfb always has a damnedable way of throwing them back in my face. :)
 
@Husker99 , you keep mentioning the kicking game as a strength. Our FG unit wasn’t great this year, and Buschini was radically inconsistent. They need to step it up big time over this season.
