Speculation on Dylan’s Future
- Thread starter Bummerbry
- Start date
Yeah, Lorenzen and super fat is an understatement. Can you say Pillsbury Dough Boy?
He was a lot of man.
Every time I see a picture of Raiola I think of the scene in Airplane where the one guy says "and Leo's getting larger"
I'm in the above ^^^^ category of "We're better off without him." But I don't agree that Dylan brought an "It's all about me" approach to the game.
Dylan struck me as a good team player. If there was a problem, it wasn't him, it was his agent/Dad.
Dylan is an excellent passer but had limited mobility. Without a kick-butt OL, Raiola was--sadly, a serious liability. Defensive Coordinator knew exactly how to play us. An immobile QB in an edge-rusher league like the B1G is not good.
If DCs know how quickly your passes are going to be thrown--and what part of the field they're being thrown to, a 70% completion rate becomes less impressive.

I still wonder why he floated deep passes as much as he did. He clearly was not comfortable attacking the mid range passes - where he threw most of his INTs....I get trying to limit risk but I think his decision making left plays on the field he should have taken. He never got past the slow blinker issue IMHO - he tried to reduce risk by just not making some key throws. That said - when he did slip the rush to buy time with his feet he nailed those throws most of the time.... unfortunately he got sacked a bunch and wasn't able to get the ball out. Some of that was oline. Some of that was his decision making. A lot of it was being slow footed and not as pocket aware as he needs to be.
MARK THIS DOWN!!!!
You will see throws from AC that you Never saw from DR. I'm talking specifically the throw over the middle with ZIP on the ball 15+ yards past the line of scrimmage into a tight window. Go ahead, in his two years here, show me ONE TIME DR threw the fastball over the middle. The other pass I waited for DR to throw and he never did was the 30 yard rope to the sideline. These two passes will put incredible pressure on defenses. The first forces defenders to take chances to cover receivers as they break on a route. The second forces a defense to play the whole 53 yards the width of the field. A gunslinger will STRESS a defense and that's how you get big plays.
DR was an uninspiring game manager who repeatedly threw the ball leaning back off his back foot, even when no one was coming at him. He NEVER stepped into a throw and flat out threw a bullet.
We've all seen plenty of footage, feel free to post a video and show me wrong.

Dylan's big problem he will have to overcome is that he has been handled with kid gloves and has never had to face adversity except the adversity of changing schools so much. I think Oregon will be good for him. Nobody cares about his last name there. Nobody sees him as the face of the school. He may never start there, but should grow.
There has been some discussion on Husker talk radio if Nebraska would be in a better place now if DR had never come and Kyle McCord would have been our starter. I think most said yes.
