Very talented prospect and Bo always preaches competition, it will only make them both better.

Larry John Holys

Cause if the Nebraska coaching staff has an eye for talent then there's no way Johnny Stanton will not get a very good look this spring!!!

Ron Brew

It would be moronic not to give someone of his talent a chance, look at Tommy Frrazier, what he did as a freshman. Don't blow a chance to find and play a diamond in the rough. Be open minded. Ron B

Tim Welling

I do not believe that our starter has solidified himself as the starter

Brook Weber

Because I wasn't a fan of how Tommy overconfidently said "This is my team now" after TM went down, as if he's entitled to the position.

Geraldo Boru Brew

Stanton could be the real deal a mobile QB how can throw under pressure and make better decisions which do not turn the ball over.

Allen Smith

johnny is the next scott frost

Visitor

The coach who jumped Taylor Martinez over Zac Lee and Cody Green won't hesitate to put the QB on the field who he thinks gives the team the best chance to win.

Sam Hyman

Bo looks out for the team

Spaniel

Only the great and powerful Taylor Martinez, who never won a CC or a bowl game and hogged the ball deserves no competition....everyone else, not so much.

Daniel Revas

His talent is undeniable. If Armstrong stumbles Stanton needs to deliver. I'm also not sure that Stanton can't take the job outright, so yes, he'll get a fair shot.

Jerry Williams

Tommy has faults.

Stephen Johnson

It will depend upon how he looks in spring and fall practice, but if he looks good he will have his shot.

Michael Morkert

Tommy is prone to too many mistakes...

Vance A. Herbek

Absolutely! He brings a different skill set to the position and you would be crazy not to give him a shot. He redshirted to recover from his ACL injury and he didn't know the system.

Ian Mahoney

Unless Tommy figures out his turnover woes (which were worse than T-Magic in terms of snaps taken), Johnny has a great chance to win the spot, or at least good playing time.

Bart Burroughs

because I hope the coaching staff is smart enough to make sure they have the best at the position as number one.

Johnny will compete but Tommy Armstrong should be considered the starting QB in 2014 heading into the spring. http://squareoffs.co/NGcmvE

Feature back is important to have but DEPTH is also CRITICAL. If don't have a feature back then either then depth chart is flooded with talent. But in the Big Ten you better have a GREAT 2nd and 3rd string to make it through the season. With EJ it helped he was so quick he didn't take huge hits

Terry Barker

Nebraska was always most stable when we had a feature back that can actually "carry" the team with his legs.

Ron Joseph

Nebraska in the past was successful with one top back. We've fallen on hard times because we haven't developed or recruited a great back. But the others need to be developed so we have a pipeline of backs like we use to have.

Roger Craig & Tom Rathman ring a bell ? Not only a dynamic duo playing for NU, but also for the 49ers !! YES we want multiple RB’s to rotate in & out to keep their legs fresh!! GBR 🎈

SEW

Look at the success in the playoff, the teams have 2-3 capable RB's they use to keep them healthy and offer the D different looks. Johnson was unique, most backs can't take that many snaps a season and stay healthy and sharp.

PJ SAid

Every good team, including the NFL, will rotate backs on a regular basis. This last year Nebraska should have used a 2nd running back more often - NEB is lucked out EJ stayed healthy.
