bye week ... qbs to target for 2026

[FL Cane]

Weigman?

The backup option to the backup option basically. Looked good his first two years. Fought through injuries and would do well behind our OL.

From a pure fan standpoint, I would love for them to target someone with multiple years of eligibility, so I can have someone to root for year over year.

You not rooting for Ward to Beck year over year??

Get the best available..

Josh Hoover all day but I don't get the sense that he will portal. Hope I wrong and he ends up here

might not, but it's obvious we gonna shoot our shot at whomever we target regardless of their current situation

collapsed against Arizona State, but has looked great beyond that.

How/when did Mendoza become the top QB in the '26 draft?

 

[Jesscane]

1. Mensah - Duke
2. Hoover - TCU
3. JKS - CAL
4. Washington- Maryland
5. Raiola - Nebraska
6. Williams - Washington
7. Bachmeir - BYU
8. Simmons - Miss
9. Hammond - TT
17. Bailey - NCSU

Raiola is underwhelming

I never understand ths sentiment. We're in the portal era. And eventually they may change the rules but for now one-year rentals of top guys at QB are the best bet. Nickel and Coleman will take time to develop and we're gonna be in the hunt it seems most every year now. Go and get the top guy.

 

[lfoliva9988]

List should be:

-Sorsby (JR; Cincy)
-Sam Leavitt (SO; ASU)
-Demond Williams (SO; Washington)
-CJ Bailey (SO; NCST)
-Josh Hoover (JR; TCU)
-Aiden Chiles (JR; Mich St)
-Devon Dampier (JR; Houston)
-Rocco Becht (JR; ISU)
-Conor Weigman (JR; UH)

Leavitt or Hoover would be a home run. Sorsby and Bailey would be great pickups. Everyone else is a step lower but has big upside, especially with our OL and permiter guys.

if Sam Leavitt is healthy the whole year, he's going in the 1st round, so highly doubt he's available in the portal

Raiola is underwhelming

Lol. I want to take this post serious, feel free to expound.

Nussmeier
Klubnik
Manning

My suspicion is that reality sets in sooner rather than later.

 

[lfoliva9988]

Raiola is underwhelming

Dylan Raiola has started every game at quarterback for Nebraska this season. He has completed 118-of-159 passes for 1,331 yards and 12 touchdowns and 2 ints. Entering the Maryland game, Raiola ranks sixth nationally in completion percentage (74.2), 12th in completions per game (23.6), 14th in passing touchdowns, 18th in passing efficiency (166.9) and 22nd in passing yards per game (266.2).

and all this behind a dog sh*t offensive line!

****... to the

.FVCK NO for Chiles.

 

[AUcane]

Raiola is underwhelming

Agree, plus he'll demand a high NIL not commensurate with his abilities/production

 

[TomAce]

Hoover if he doesn't enter draft otherwise Malik Washington from MD

 

[USNAVYCANE]

1. JKS











2.everyone else

 

[AbsoluteUnit]

Get JKS and lock in at least 2 years.
