Rhule apparently has not learned the main lesson from his failure in the NFL. Without a high quality QB, you do not stand a chance. Not with a running game. Not with a defense. Not with everyone getting “a little bit better”.
$2m for a QB that can stabilize your program and provide a pathway to 9+ wins? Yes.
$2m spread across your current team who have clearly demonstrated that they aren’t talented enough to win 6 games? No.
It's just more than paying players to stay here.
I believe we're also paying players to not be on scholarship and to play for Nebraska. Can you imagine our depth chart if hypothetically, we had another 10-15 scholarships? Between greyshirts and 5th year seniors, we could definitely have some more depth, all due to NIL.
With that said, I have no doubt that Turd, Rhule, and whoever for a booster, is willing to evaluate and get a QB at the best price.
