When we face a team with a good pas s rush, you will see how badly we will miss him

Keith Petrie

You're absolutely right. If your QB can't run... can't roll out... can't execute the option... you're in trouble. Unless you e got an O Line that can protect the QB. We'll see about that!

Jerry Williams

Unless the offensive line is much better I do not know anyone who could scramble and gain time like Tommy when the line collapsed.

Mark Eiserman

Heart & soul of the team. With a senior backing him up. there is no depth behind him.

Joel Rodgers

Great guy, great heart, Great runner, OK passer. We need to be able to throw the ball about 20 times a game and complete 16 of them. Especially down the field. He could throw far but not accurate. The receivers made him look better than he was,

Jon Moore

He was not a good passer.

David MacKay

Tommy has heart and played his butt off for this team. I don't know if there was a better passer while rolling out of the pocket...however he was too inconsistent and was not the QB for Riley's and Langsdorf's system They have their type QB now..put up or shut up!!!

John M. Hodge

With this new offense, He would have been a backup-great character, excellent teammate... just not the right fit for where we are going

Stephen Johnson

Tommy never fit into Riley's offensive plans. He has 4 passing qbs on the team.

Larry Sidders

Consistency! He can lead the team to the big win one week and lose the game with mistakes the next.

Darin Brandt

I believe the Huskers should be a better passing team .Will not have the same big runs that Tommie could produce as a dual threat QB.

Peter Rygol

Like Banker said of him, a heart of a lion and a very good running QB. But a passer, please. Not the best QB IQ and decision making often times left you shaking your head.

Robert Lloyd

He was the worst QB in major college football. We had little chance to win a big game unless he happened to have a good day. Everyone else in college knew he wasn't a QB but hey "Bo Knows"???

Jim Kohout

Tommy had pluses and minuses to his game. We will miss his running ability, but he can be replaced.

Dave Ronnekamp

he was best running the ball..we need a qb that can pass.

Ronald Pfeifer

Tired of his inconsistency.

Paul F Edwards

take his legs away and what do you have? A QB that can't hardly throw. It won't be hard at all...

Jody Acree

I like TA. But he missed critical games for him being so tough. Very, VERY inconsistent. I want a QB who has true toughness like Scott Frost and Eric Crouch. Those guys represent toughness.

Is it reasonable to consider Nebraska a potential playoff team in 2025?

Qb. Oline. Offense could be very good. Back 7 on d should be good Concerns at rb depth and unknowns on interiour d line.

Terrence Smith

With their schedule, they might be able to make it this year.

Chester Ogborn

They are as much a potential playoff team as Arizona State and Indiana were last year. There is no harm is fans dreaming big. A team with a recent history like Nebraska is going to put it together this year. Why not the Huskers?

Joe Nigro

Just wishful thinking but I believe the talent is there. We will need a few breaks but it is possible.

George mcdaniel

It had to do with mindset confidence and luck

Matt

They have a schedule that gets to the year 3 Matt Rhule 10 wins. If they can hang with Penn St. then they could be in the conversation as a 10-2, 11-1 team.

So tired of delusional preseason talk. How about a winning conference record and a bowl win.

Charlie Knapper

Haven't proven anything, yet.

Brad Mcbride

They are a 6-6 football team until proven otherwise.

Chin Sin Chong

No on field results to support that yet. History told us talks are simply empty statements

Roy Katskee

NU has not demonstrated that they belong.

Melvyn Halfon

NU has not been able to recruit top notch players. The media has led fans to believe that 3 star players can be molded into 4 and 5 stars. That dog don’t hunt?

Kevin Hubbell

Let's not put the cart before the horse! 7 or 8 wins maybe.

Joe Hegarty

That's crazy alright. Just hope they make a bowl game again.

Suicide Slush Puppie

We simply don't have the level of talent needed to reach the playoff. Achieving more wins that last year is a more realistic goal.

Bill Petty

Anything can happen, but up until now, Rhule hasn't shown that he can get the job done. I hope I'm wrong, but I just can't by the hype. Show me on the field.

Eric Picquet

They haven’t done anything on the field to warrant that expectation. But there is nothing wrong with the team setting it as a goal and striving to reach that goal.

Mike O

Immanuel Kant would say no, but he had a very strict definition of reason. I can only imagine him pooh-poohing the Huskers because Rhule is compulsed to pass the ball on clear running downs. Afraid to actually hand the ball to the fullback on 3rd and 1. And instead is in the shotgun. NO THEY KANT!

Bob Flanagan

Thry’ll be better this year, but I think 9-3 or 8-4 are likely which keeps them out of contention this year. My hope is that by year 4 under Rhule will finally get them ibto the playoff picture

Richard Johnson

They need to prove they belong. Still to ,many players on the squad that played on bad teams and don't know how to win yet.

Greg Engel

I just can’t let myself get my hopes up too high. I am hopeful for a good season, though

Dan Larsen

Let's consider a few "bigger" bowl game victories first.... way to early!

Steve Slezak

Too soon
