If Nebraska goes QB hunting in the portal..

[ShortSideOption]

I'll be honest, I have had the feeling all along that he will be coming back.

I absolutely could be wrong. But it feels like people are trying to make him out to be this prima donna, and I don't think he is. I think he genuinely likes it here and genuinely likes Rhule.

On top of that, he is a QB that, for many, has under performed expectations. He also is coming off of a season ending injury. Are teams really going to pay him the kind of money that we are?

I think your last paragraph is why he would come back. He hasn't performed as well as his ranking, coming off an injury, etc.

With that said, I was told when he signed at Nebraska 2.5 years is the over/under on how long he's here. If he didn't get to 8, 9, 10 wins by year 2, the family would take a serious look at getting him elsewhere with a better supporting cast around him. "If they don't get to the 8 win mark, that will effect his draft stock, and the family will have to take a look at if he is better off to get to the NFL elsewhere." Couple that with his Uncle being fired, his brother not signing anywhere yet if they are a package deal, and a WR he is connected with having rumblings of leaving... I actually think he's gone.

Either way, we will be fine.

If that is indeed their "NFL" plan then what about this....

He is saying he needs to be surrounded by better players to get to the NFL.

But teams drafting QBs in the 1st or 2nd are teams that typically sucked. Will those teams want a guy that needs everyone around him to be good to win, something they obviously don't have, or do they want a guy who is able to raise his team up on his shoulders?

"Surround me with 5 stars so I look good."

Buddy you were the 5 star that was supposed to make us look good.

Side note: Nebraska was on their way to 8-9 wins up until he got hurt.

Well well well

Need the domino to drop so we can get in line if needed. He'd be incredible to get. Cam Ward to Wazzu type stuff.
