they were both great, but Steinkuhler was historic, with a play that was so effective, they had to outlaw it!

Only if he stays healthy. Probably by limiting runs out of the back field.

I believe that Wandale will receive the most passes this year with Manning catching the second most passes from Martinez,but there will be plenty of other receivers with catches(tight-ends)

I think overall our receiving will be a TON better, even without Speilman, who quit his team.

Unproven? Absolutely! But we need a big wideout who can go up and after all those errant overthrows. If he only comes down with a quarter of them it should be good for another sustained drive a game.

I'm hoping Omar as we already know what Wan'Dale can and will do. If Omar comes in and dominates then our O will be just fine

If we're talking about running the slot receiver, it has to be a bigger, tougher guy, even if he is slower. It's no good to have a star receiver out half a season or more. Right tool for the right job

I think he’d have adapted. He might not have been early first round but I think he’d have been in the first round. IMO... he had better receivers here than at LSU! 😁

not like LSU was lighting the wrld on fire b4 He got there. the no talent point at NU is overplayed to cover 4 lack of play-calling, dvlpment etc esp with top 25 classes and outrecruiting BTWest oppo

He would have been sacked a lot and if he could withstand the injury bug then yes late first round.

It takes more than one player to be successful. Without a solid line and multiple talented targets, Joe wouldn't have risen above obscurity in my opinion. If he played for a 90's Husker team-yes

Frost is too in love with Martinez. Which means the best quarterback on the roster this season will not play.

Frost was stuck on Martinez, 3rd stringers rarely get drafted in the 1st round.

As others have said, it takes a whole team. He would have been average at best here because we don't have the OL or skilled players to allow him to rise to the top. Hopefully we will soon for a QB

If he would have done better than Martinez, it would not have been by much. With essentially horrible line play, no running or passing game, no QB could have done much better

The O line is definitely trending upward but between bad pass pro at times and not enough play making receivers, no QB could have had a great year with the Huskers last year.

Would not have had the line protection nor the receiver speed.
