Does anyone expect a qb battle or change (1 Viewer)

[Adolph Coors]

Casey is an accurate qb on short throws or when he was a clean pocket, but lacks the ability to put touch on the football and doesnt do well leading his receivers, especially on throws over the middle.

Is Thompson that much better than Purdy or Smothers, and also does NIL have anything to do with him continuing to play going forward?

 

[iruletheskool]

Casey is a really good QB.

 

[Carm]

No

second string QB coming in against reserves after the game was decided. And he wasn't spectacular.

CT has been good.

 

[CornFed Gregger]

I say let CT do his thing cuz it’s not his fault the OL doesn’t know what they’re supposed to do

I think we’ll probably start to see some changes at different positions, but it will likely be based off effort and performance in practice, and probably leadership. If guys aren’t showing those things, they might have a date with some pine. That doesn’t seem to be an issue for CT, but I am not at practice, nor have I had to deal with the bullshit he has since he’s arrived.

Casey is the least of our problems. Best QB we have had in a decade plus

 

[MtnHusker]

Casey being put in a tough situation but playing about as well as can be expected. Hard for anybody to QB when the O Line is so porous. He doesn't have time

 

[Red Finger]

Considering how Purdy looked Saturday, can’t see any change.

 

[Huskersballz]

No but I do think CT will miss games later this season due to getting beat up behind our horrid O-Line

 

[Adolph Coors]

Considering how Purdy looked Saturday, can’t see any change.

i did not watch. Ive always like Logan

Casey will get hurt in the next couple games. On the plus side Purdy will be better at avoiding the pressure. Casey is more polished.

Purdy is better than Logan.

It wouldn't surprise me if Thompson is hurt sometime this season. I actually think Purdy showed a lot of talent. Fast, mobile and elusive. Bigger arm than Thompson, but not nearly as accurate. I think Purdy has a high upside, but it will take some time for him to be a good, proficient QB.

I don’t see Purdy or Smothers as a long term solution. My guess is the 2023 starting QB isn’t currently on the roster.

I thought Purdy looked pretty good.

I think barring an injury or a pretty crazy change in personality, Thompson will keep the job. He's known as a grinder, he hasn't had many major hiccups that would lead to a benching, on the contrary he's been one of the few bright spots in the first 3 games. He and his family are also close with Mickey, I think that played a big part in getting Thompson here.

QB battle? No

I have been on the record they need a package for Logan. Short yardage, red zone, etc.. Especially if Casey is so hesitant to run the ball, but doubt we will see it.

I expect to see the secondary completely overhauled except Newsome, Gifford and Buford. I am on the fence about Farmer, but I think we will see Lynum and Sanford more maybe Singleton some too.

I don't think Whipple would have any idea what to do with Smothers without Frost around anymore. I don't think we ever see him unless it's for 1-2 plays randomly.

I agree about secondary shakeups. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I would love to see more of Sanford and less of Farmer. His tackling has been F- this entire season.

I think Purdy and Torres will likely be in competition for the spot in 2023, but I imagine the new HC will also introduce a transfer QB.
