With Raiola, I guess he is willing to redshirt if their QB comes back instead of entering the draft. He's rehabbing injury anyway and he can get paid to do so.

If you go back and look at what Raiola was expected to be out of high school it may make sense to use one of their 105 spots for him.

He was considered one of the top prospects in the nation, without the family connections the fuskers never would have had a shot at him. Instead they tried to turn him into a "Nebraska quarterback" running their mess of a system.

That system has consistently resulted in qbs getting beat up and injured. It doesn't develop them as passers and doesn't set them up for success.

We have seen QBs who transferred out of Nebraska, with the red polyester crowd hammering them on the way out, go elsewhere and perform better.

Adrian Martinez who was supposed to be the savior ended up at K-State splitting time for a team that won more games than kNU had the prior two years combined.

Jeff Sims transferred in expected to again be the savior then was gone again after a year. Last year at Arizona State he had a much better season than he had at Nebraska.

In the same time period there were some others who were backups for the fuskers who also left including some who had success at smaller schools or as depth guys at BCS schools.

Oregon doesn't lack for money. They can bring him in, give him a year to get healthy and also to work on developing his skills and get out of the bad habits he developed in Stinkoln.

He's never going to be the Mahomes clone he thinks he is but it wouldn't be a surprise to see him become a quality college QB as he was expected to be coming out of high school.

I mean, at some point, don't we start to feel sorry for them?

I wonder if that 9 games is now a hard cap or if it’s 9 games plus the post season doesn’t count like it currently is
 
Temu needs rehab, maybe he is ready for mop up in 26, but then he plays 27, and likely 28 when he realizes he is not a pro

The first forecasted top 10 pick who decided to stay in college for NIL.

I think it’s more nuanced than that. I certainly believe NIL allowed Dante Moore to stay in college, but I also think the primary driver of why he stayed was he needed to develop a bit more in college with more starts under his belt. The track record for players with limited starts in college is pretty poor in the NFL.
 
Not a fan of Drake's, but the old Player Rating adjustments issue that we all talk about is becoming more obvious with even transfers that get adjust in real time after a player that should transfer to a B1G or SEC school transfers to a Big12 school.

It's been almost 3 months since he broke his fibula. He'll be 100% in a matter of weeks.
