Sims will have had a full healthy offseason to learn the new offense and develop chemistry with the rest of the offense. There aren't any preseason games in cfb. Expecting Thompson to develop chemistry with the offense in much less time is a recipe for loding winnable games at Minnesota and Colorado

Michael Graham

Better runner.

Carl Wiest

Thing is, they are both really good QB's if they get coached up right.

Steven Sabacky

More fluid on the pocket

James Stiver

I believe Sims is a very accurate passer and he appears to be a strong runner. I would have liked to see him run more in the spring game!

Casey always looked good considering always under pressure, can throw the long ball and run.

David Weaver

I just think overall Casey the better option and def has leadership qualities as well. Part of this is just due to what we've seen from Casey vs what we haven't been able to see yet (real games) with Jeff Sims

Richard Stotts

lets see who Coach starts....Casey is just better.

Andy Fields

I was impressed with Jeff Sims. I just feel Casey Thompson is a really good QB and could be outstanding with a good o-line. We definitely need a good back up and Sims isn't a big drop off. If the o-line is better, we go bowling this year.

Scott Morris

I think Casey throws a lot better than Sims.

Randy Wolf

Better arm, better legs

Andy Morrison

Jeff Simms didn't seem like he has good throwing mechanics, and seemed like he rushed his throws. But my guess is we need both.

Jim Firnhaber

I believe Casey is the better passer and likely reads defenses faster.

Kevin Bolin

Sims makes too many mistakes and his knack for tossing INTs and putting the ball on the ground will get him on the bench sooner rather than later - question swill he stay if he losses the starting job

travis stoler

they both play but casey starts

Once again, the south stadium gets short changed.

The ANTI Trump

Thought it was a done deal.

Loren Zimmerman

Far too expensive. Special seating for the rich is not fair to the majority of season ticket holders.

Fred

who wants to pay for tickets and sit in the south endzone? Not me! ill just watch on tv. And lets be honest the sellout streak will end if we dont start winning.

different leadership - different ideas

Kent Haynes

Good to slow down and have another set of eyes relook at everything.

John Connor

I think it is good to slow down the project and wait until we starting wiinning as then demand will significantly increase. Also wait until the economy is doing better and interest costs decrease. To me it is being good financial stewards of the Atheltic Department finances. Phases are good.

Steven Benscoter

because I thought that this may not be a good time to be spending that much, when we haven't even finished the last project. I think our AD will have to be able to read the money people, and the times. I thought that Trev A couldn't live with that.

Compensation has always been tied to market value. These athletes are worth far more than they're being compensated, and that's been the case for over a century. Hence, they've been ripped off. I support salary, salary cap, and education on how to invest it in 401k style accounts.

Visitor

Much more controllable, and much more equitable.

Fred

its the law................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Loren Zimmerman

It has to fair across the board, from Fordham to Alabama. one monthly stipend for everyone, not just scholarship players. There has to be a limit on how many players all schools should abide by. Determine the national budget and every school must contribute.

Everyone who already commented believes in the same thing I do.

Chuck Siegel

Compensation changes the entire dynamic of college athletics, and not in a positive way.

Robert Lloyd

They should be students and NOT professional athletes. If they want to get paid they can go pro. Personally, I believe they should cancel all sports in public schools and colleges though I love our Huskers.

Don Scott

Put myself through school in the 70's. They are getting for exchange of their athletic prowess what I had to work and save for. The two summers after high school I drove alfalfa trucks 12 hours a day 7 days a week. EARN IT!

Scott Ferguson

They already live better than most students. Free room and board, tutors, clothing, and actual education cost.

Dan List

They are compensated with room and board plus an education. The perks they get as athletes now are unbelievable!!!
