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.

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.

Tough choice. Suh was physically stronger but when you compare effectiveness of the player vs state of the game when they played it's harder to say. Also, RG had 2 outstanding seasons vs NS's 1.

It's very close. Each was the dominant defensive lineman of his era. Each wrecked offenses. Glover by far outplayed everyone in the Game of the Century, and it's hard to top that. Glover, barely.

I was only about 10 when Rich Glover played. I remember him as an awesome player but Suh is arguably the greatest college D-Lineman of all time. Not just at Nebraska, but all college, All time.

SUH had less help on the Dline and yet he dominated. Ask that Missouri QB what he thinks as well as McCoy. If we had had the 2008 or 2010 offense wt Suh's 2009 D = National champs. Timing was off.

A beast often double & triple teamed, Suh still dominated games and caused OCs to change entire game plans mid-stream.

Glover was very good, but Suh's success in the NFL is a pretty good indicator of his overall talent level.

Im old enough to have seen both play but Rich Glover had a great supporting cast. Suh didnt and he was a one man wrecking crew.

Glover was the best until Suh. More diverse offenses today. Nationally, Suh had a tad more recognition. I love them both and grateful they played for the Big Ref.

Turner could do it all. He was equally an excellent runner and passer. And he was a great leader. He would have won 2 NCs if not for 2 terrible calls in the 82 Penn State game and a mediocre D in 83.

The best all around. He could throw better than Frazier. His problem was that his defense wasn’t that good and two of the teams top players got bought off.

I have great respect for Turner and what he has done for the Nebraska football program both as a player and as a former coach. With that being said Tommie led NU to 2 National championships. Turner 0

I'd take Turner Gill everyday of the week and twice on Saturday. I also get that Tommie had much better defensive support than what Turner had. However, in the end Tommie has 2 Natty's.

I love them both. They are the two best QBs in Nebraska history. Frazier gets the nod because of the NCs, though Gill could have won two, also.

I think Turner is so close to Tommie in numbers, but 2 Naty’s is a heck of a tie breaker. Tommy won when Turner didn’t.

We all know it takes great TEAMS to win the titles, and Frazier arguably had better overall teams. But it isn't just that. He was the MVP of three straight title games. No one else has that.

I agree. Some years ago, some publication stated that Tommie was the all time best college QB because of leadership & not because of individual stats. Turner was great and really should have had 2 NC
