What to do at QB?

I agree with this take. You need to strike next year with an intact defense led by Tony White and returning Robinson and Hutmacher. Get a one year proven quality QB and win some damn games.

It’s clear Coach Rhule has decided to go after one of the Big Dawg portal QBs and I’m all for it. And before I hear somebody poo-poo that Rhule can’t compete — think about his pitch: With a quality veteran QB, this year’s team could have easily won eight games, if not more. Think about the national attention Nebraska’s 2024 QB receives if we’re playing winning ball and in contention for a playoff spot. That’s Joe Burrow at LSU-level love from Husker Nation.

Aim high, Coach!

The Portal QB Dilemma, Why you can’t just develop for 2024, and Nebraska’s portal entries so far

The college football transfer portal opened for non grad transfers yesterday, and we have seen a flurry of players rush to officially enter their name (grad transfers could enter sooner). It’s a wild time I hate, because it’s like high school recruiting on steroids. Every QB that goes in we get an analysis on why he could go to Nebraska and if he’d be a good fit. At least with high school recruiting we don’t go down that road until they say they are interested or going to take a visit. With transfers, we somehow assume everyone is interested.

There is currently no issue for NIL money to land a good QB. The current issue is the offense that Satterfield ran. A reporter for CBS said last week any QB would be stupid to play for Satterfield. Can't say I disagree with that assessment. So Satterfield and Rhule need to sell whoever on the fact that this offense is the right one and injuries hampered what it could do. If they can't convince say McCord it's not for a lack of NIL money.

I thought that sending Satterfield wasn't the wisest choice. MR needs to go and let people know he's looking at changes to Satterfield's role. If he's not, he really needs to consider it, but I hope he's considering making changes.
 
As a central Ohio resident, Satterfield should be fired on the spot for courting Kyle McCord. If Rhule in behind this, he should be fired as well. McCord sucks.

And before anyone on this site defends McCord, I've lived it every Saturday all year long. I've watched more of his crappy QB play than any ten of you and he isn't even remotely the answer.

That the idiots that ruined a season going all in on Jeff Simms are going after McCord is not surprising, it shakes my faith that they should be in charge at Nebraska.

McCord is immobile, inaccurate and a terrible decision maker. Without Marvin Harrison Jr. he'd be an under 50% passer.

So, which one of the QB's in the portal do you like? Or which one do we have a shot at?

With all portal QBs, there’s always a “but…”

Of the four guys being talked about, McCord feels the safest choice (Ohio’s misgivings duly noted.). I think our running game (barring another crazy injury year) is going to click so while I prefer a true RPO guy, we’ve GOT to be multi. While McCord doesn’t run much, he’s no statue like Tanner Lee. But — and this is no small deal — he’s by far the most accurate passer.

i’m reserving judgment on his role as an OC until we get all the pieces of our offense in place.

I will say I hope MR strongly considers going to his original plan to have Satterfield move to coaching the TE’s (this wold require Martin to go back to being an analyst), and getting a bona fide QB coach. Peetz would have been perfect imo, but his promotion and pay raise, puts him out of range most likely. But I’m sure there are others.

Matt’s second best choice imo is to get someone in an analyst roll to take as much of a QB coaching role as is allowed under ncaa rules. This option is a pretty distant option imo, but it’s better than what we have.

He is not an accurate passer. Most of his year consisted of throwing up jump balls for Marvin Harrison Jr. to bring down.

As for decision making, in the first quarter against Michigan he threw a one yard pass to Harrison that went straight into the hands of the Michigan defender who ran it in for a TD. Cost OSU the game. The most idiotic decision imaginable. Throw straight into blanket coverage, for nothing. One yard at best, maybe.

Part of me knew, and feared, that these bozos would reach out to him. All it will result in is another crap year with no development of a viable solution from someone already on the team, being it a current QB or a HS recruit.

Please just go after Cameron Ward. He showed a little interest prior to his WSU transfer.

I'm not a believer in the slow build model. In today's transfer portal era, you need to win to get the good players and if you're not you're going to lose your good players to other teams. This is a completely different world of college football then when Rhule last coached.
