Casey wanted to stay at Nebraska (1 Viewer)

Casey's top skill of throwing a pretty good deep ball to Palmer would not have been quite as useful this year.

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.

Palmer was darn good, but let’s not overlook Irving Fryar. Wasn’t he a #1 draft pick?

Isn't Fryar the guy that made a ton of money by losing the orange bowl against Miami? Had some questionable drops iirc

That’s the rumor. Sure looked that way during the game

It’s gonna be really hard for him to run away from adversity yet again with one ACL

Agree about Fryar. He had a very long pro career, with multiple pro bowls.

Fryar likely at the top for NU receivers. Palmer right there with him though in talent and impact. Only for one season, but Palmer was most of our offense last season.

Palmer could of had 700 yards against Purdoodoo if Casey wasnt broken
