Sam Darnold has 22 TDs and 11 INTs
Tanner Lee has 17 TDs and 13 INTS

The answer is someone else, Tanner Lee.

Nebraska bets on transfer QB Tanner Lee

But Lee is absolutely an elite NFL prospect, with the arm, size and smarts to shine in the Cornhuskers’ style of play, and this is how transfers are supposed to work.

Feldman: Tanner Lee, QB, Nebraska. The former Tulane starter has everything NFL scouts look for in terms of size, smarts, arm strength and accuracy. He also has quite a bit of speed to work with at the skill positions (keep an eye on spectacular freshman receiver Tyjon Lindsey). With all the preseason hype on Wisconsin, Lee and the Huskers could make things very interesting in the Big Ten West.

Huskers' QB Tanner Lee challenged to turn hype into reality

The hype has been fueled by the words of a couple former NFL personnel men, one of whom predicted the transfer from Tulane would be a top NFL draft prospect.

Why a former coach says Nebraska Cornhuskers quarterback Tanner Lee 'fits what they need to do'

“Of anybody at the (Big Ten) level, he’s got as good of ability,” offered Price, the son of longtime college coach Mike Price and now the head coach at Hanks High School in El Paso, Texas. “He used to go to those Manning passing camps and he’s thrown with some of the other (famous) people and everybody, after they threw with him, went, ‘Where are you now?’ He said, ‘I’m at Tulane.’

“And they said, ‘How the heck did you end up at Tulane?’ He said, ‘Well, I’m at a private school in New Orleans and that’s the only offer I got.’”

Sean Mannion, Sean Canfield, Matt Moore, and Derek Anderson. Each Quarterback saw their talents reward them with NFL careers and Mike Riley is looking to add another NFL quarterback to his collection.

Tanner Lee = Aaron Rodgers Jr.

He gonna ball. Needs better pass catchers though. Tyjon better step in and be the man.
When you see the throwing motion... Then you see the way he carries himself... Then you see how the whole team loves him...

I'm good with it if he bounces to the draft after he sets the B1G on fire.

Josh Allen followed by Darnold

 

[navamind]

not sure I get the Fromm one. He's played as well as you could expect from a freshman QB IMO.

 

[Brasky]

Any Michigan QB since '98

This as well.

USC is another repeat offender here, so Sam Darnold is just low hanging fruit, but he did win himself a Rose Bowl and MVP honors.

John David Booty
Mark Sanchez
Matt Barkley
Cody Kessler

 

[Great Dayne]

Darnold and JT Barrett being mentioned as Heisman candidates makes them the most overrated.

 

[Brasky]

Josh Allen followed by Darnold

Josh Allen is just one of those "prototype" guys who looks the part. Much like Hackenberg.

Nebraska had fun picking on him.

Jack Coan

Jack Coan

If he can't beat out Hornibrook I don't think he can possibly be overrated . The worst yes. Overrated no

 

[WestEndVol]

The Wyoming QB. I looked at his stats before the season started and never understood where the hype came from.

 

[HuskerOC]

The Barrett votes are shockingly low.

 

[kburjr]

If he can't beat out Hornibrook I don't think he can possibly be overrated . The worst yes. Overrated no

But but he is our highly talented freshman - GD

 

[wingsauce7]

The Wyoming QB. I looked at his stats before the season started and never understood where the hype came from.

manufactured by the sports media. Poor kid, they killed him.

 

[Voltaire26]

Wilton Speight

Doesn’t meet both criteria.

 

[Voltaire26]

I think the position of quarterback is overrated

 

[7Samurai13]

Doesn’t meet both criteria.

On the radio on Wednesday, I think, a Michigan fan said that they would be undefeated had Speight not gotten injured. I nearly crashed I was laughing so hard.
