How does one simply coach a guy to start seeing the field better?

That is sech a natural ability en sech.

Well you can coach a guy to read defenses. That's kind of my point.

I'm not sure but I am guessing Jed means we'll be screwed because of their fragile psyche right now. Never thought about it but if so he has a point. If not what you meant Jed than I'll take this and make it my idea. Think about it, Pelini has brain washed them that the system is out to screw them.

The biggest thing Riley has to do is get this team to drop that thinking and rally behind him. If he starts firing starters who the rest the team supports than he can have a mutiny on his hands.

Don't think fragile psyches have much to do with it.....as we're not talking 15 year old kids. More like "dented egos". I've already mentioned that I don't expect that great of year next year because of this aspect. And in all fairness it depends on how well Riley can sell his ideas. The starting defense alone could take a serious hit (and others get promoted). I'm just hoping for the best.

Embrace the University and the fan base instead of lament them? Ridiculous approach

I think back to when I played basketball and I remember certain players could play point guard and others couldn't simply because they lacked the ability to make passes without thinking.

Certain players just have a natural ability to hit windows and automatically calculate depth without thinking at all. It was always something that couldn't be taught......you either had it, or you didn't.

Playing QB is the same way. Reading Defenses and everything is a must......all the things you can learn is a must. But "seeing the field" is something that can't be explained by a coach. When you're one of these gifted players you have the ability to see with peripheral vision and calculate depth. It's a brain issue. You just either developed it growing up, or you didn't.

If TA could honestly read defenses, we'd see some passes being thrown up the middle. Instead all we get are the quick outs and the long ball. If TA could read defenses, we wouldn't see all his passes being thrown at 2000 MPH and having as many dropped passes. Maybe he can be taught these things, but I truly have my doubts. So, I'm in agreement with you jjm--not that you care.

Armstrong.

He had a good audition Saturday night. Sure, his passes could have been intercepted, but Mike Riley will coach him up. Because Mike Riley is going to change the look of QBs at Nebraska.

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

Ye jest can't teach depth perception and peripheral vision.

It's like saying you can teach someone to get 6 inches taller.

People just develop differently growing up. Both cognitively and physically.

If you're 5'4" and you were hoping to be the star QB........sorry, buddy. Nobody can help you. If you don't have the ability to perceive depth, angles, and use your peripheral vision.......sorry, buddy. Nobody can help you.

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

Anyways, we can all say whatever theeee hell we want right now...

Whoever Riley chooses to play QB will be the best of the bunch, and that much I can guarantee. We have no worries.

 

[Papalou]

Its hard to say who may get the job. Armstrong showed some razzle dazzle at times and then he would just stand and chuck the ball down field at other times. Im sure Riley will give him a fair shake but if he doesnt improve bench him. I can faintly remember having a qb crammed down our throats in the past that never panned out, as a matter of fact this has happened twice in the last 2 coaches.

I took this beautiful picture this morning. I just thought I'd post it here and show you fellas.

LOL

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

Those are Langsdorf trees

 

[HuskerPower52]

Frost could be our qb coach

 

[Red_Alert]

Chances of TA starting against BYU just went down with the Langsdorf hire. IMO

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

I agree.

 

[Tomhusker]

We'll see come spring time. If this guy is a quick coach then they will all be starting fresh.

 

[Brasky]

Chances of Stanton starting just shot up into the stratosphere.
