Haarberg

Neither of these cubes are going to beat any team with their arm. Accept it and play the hot hand until it’s not.
with HH's limitations we are going to struggle against any decent defensive team. Not many more "Rock Fights" that we can win. Maybe Cockeye. Hard to win games when you can't score points. I want to be hard on OC Sat but difficult for me to pass judgement when he inherited a shit show and right now is starting what was our 3rd string QB, 3rd string RB plus is missing 3 of the top 4 WR's from the start of fall camp. But at least our O Line still sucks

Northwestern and Michigan State both also have absolutely dog shit offenses (as bad or worse than us). Running HH out there plus a similar performance from our D as the Illinois games gets us wins there I think.
 
People can say HH has been lucky with turnovers and to a certain extent I agree. But he also dives on the football when he fumbles, as opposed to Sims who just kind of stands there. Also HH doesn't stare down his receivers quite as badly which makes intercepting him a little more challenging.

I also like that he throws to the best offensive player on the team. Sims appeared to be unaware that Fidone existed.

Probably splitting hairs on the doesn't stare down receivers as badly.
 
It’s simple for me. Who has the better talent is obvious.
It is? Please explain.
All I have watched of Sims is his two games at Nebraska. To me, they are the same quarterbask. Fast, good runners who struggle to complete passes. They have very, very similar skillsets, it seems. Sims has a stronger arm, but what difference does it make if he still can't complete deep passes? If there is a talent difference, it's anything but obvious.

I noticed that last week too, he's definitely doing better at going through his progressions. Maybe a small thing, but it's 2023 and a Nebraska QB is actually learning and growing as he goes through a season. That's what we call a baby step!
 
Sims proved he's the same guy he's always been, but that doesn't mean he can't be an asset down the stretch. HH was already limping at the end of Illinois. Hard to imagine he makes it 6 more games running 15-20 times/game. Have to keep Sims engaged, keep his confidence up, and keep him ready.

Sims needs to get a series in the first half vs. Northwestern where he hears some cheers when he comes out. Rhule should tell folks in next weeks press conference that's going to happen, too. Make sure people know to get behind the kid. Last thing a QB with shaky confidence needs is a smattering of murmurs and boos from the home crowd. And hell, ideally he gets some snaps at the end of the game if we're up enough (big ask).
 
Sims' talent isn't going to win us games, at least not this year with this offense.

With the remaining schedule, with our defense, the answer to who should play QB is who is going to turn the ball over the least. If we don't turn the ball over and score 2 to 3 TDs, we are going to win a lot of the remaining games.

We don't need to play the QB who is the most talented, we need to play the QB who will fuck up the least, currently that is Haarberg, but not by much.
This is it right here. The cold hard truth is in that last sentence. You don’t have to like it, but there it is.
 
Too bad Chubba isn't a tenth as good as his brother is right now.
I have said, I wanted to see him this year because all the talk I was hearing was how improved he was. Was told the success his brother was having woke him up to what was possible and he was dialed in all off season.

He was QB2, but was injured to start the year.
