Casey wanted to stay at Nebraska

ALWAYS a Husker!

 

[Cookiemonster]

I wish he would have been allowed to stay. I think we are 3-0 with him honestly.

But oh well. Forward and onward.

 

[BIGSTICK67]

Yeah, I don't know. I just don't think that's how it went down.

 

[CornFed Gregger]

I’m gonna guess most guys would choose nebraska over Florida Atlantic

 

[Fargo Husker]

I'm sure this won't get blown out of proportion...

I don't know... Boca Raton has some benefits Nebraska doesn't 😂

I wish we could have got CT and Palmer for one more year. Watching what a legit speed at receiver and a decent qb could do to a defense like Cockeye was fun to watch.

He also commented that he never wanted to leave Texas

Let’s be honest when a staff brings in a transfer qb in most cases it’s telling the starter he isn’t their guy.

 

[Herbie]

Not sure he’d be much help with his torn acl

 

[Irv]

This “didn’t want to” is like how Judge Smails “didn’t want to” send teenagers to the electric chair - but he felt he owed it to them.

Why would we want a guy with a torn ACL?

 

[HerbRedman]

He PROBABLY gets us through the MN game w a win. But remember we couldn't move it very well that game without Sims rushing for like 96 yds.

He MAYBE gets us a win at Boulder. But I'm not convinced. Our shitty WRs were dropping every other key pass in that game.

I'm not convinced we'd be 3-0 w CT - I'm actually pretty doubting of that. I think maybe a 20% chance of 3-0 w CT. He just doesn't have anyone to throw to and the OL sucks. That's not a good combo for a QB.

I'm at the point now where I'm pretty sure sure CT would have a season ending injury probably by the Michigan game if he were here. I think his body has been telling him to retire for about a year (and I'm dead serious saying that). There's no world where you have both Sims and CT. I'm sure Sims was told that the job was his or else he wouldn't have come here.

I didn’t want to leave, but they wouldn’t guarantee me the starting job

Losing Palmer (which was a given as his draft stock was high for obvious reasons) is the biggest loss. Probably the best receiver NU has ever had.

It also sucked to lose Thompson. He would not have been as effective without Palmer to throw to, but still, would be nice to have him. And yes, I know he is now injured, so it makes the whole thing moot. Still, he was an actual QB who could go through progressions and play the position and get the ball to receivers. Right now, we have the FBS leader in turnovers, and HH, who is a major project, and likely never will be a true QB (not that I am hoping he doesn't become one or am shitting on his play last saturday - he played well). We are just devoid of QB talent on the roster.

It seems obvious to me that QB run game was going to be a big part of this offense from the beginning. I don't think Rhule wanted to deal with having a completely different system for a QB that really wasn't as great as everyone else thinks he was. There were certainly a lot of talk about him not being a great leader. That's not something a new coach wants to deal with either.

 

[That SOB Van Owen]

He wanted to stay but wanted to be promised the starting job. Since he missed spring Rhule couldn’t promise him that. So he left. That’s what happened and it is what it is.
