You young buck BTR!!

Way before your time!!

Check him out.. I added a link for you young bucks..

In the short time I've been on Husker message boards, I have had to Google well over one hundred players.

I dont know about this.. We want to win no matter how we do it.. So you are saying that we didnt want Turner Gill or Tommy or Ganz as QB's saying this. All them were really good passing running QB's that opened up the I-Back even more with the threat of them passing as well as they did.

I have to disagree with you on this one big guy!! We want it and we want it badly.. Im speaking for myself ofcourse..

I would say Vince Faragamo (Spelling?) was our best pro QB, I'm pretty sure he has a Super Bowl ring with the Rams back in the 70's as a starter. Somebody probably knows more about this than I do, but I know he was a pretty decent QB.

Yes Vince Ferragamo was our Best Pro QB.

Thanks for the help on the spelling, just remember my Grandpa talking about him.

Good QB? Or did you mean a good QB that the NFL would like?

Pro QB or someone that the Pro's will play!!

Just to add some more to this topic.

Back in the '70s when Tom Osborne first took over the program we had a very innovative offense that threw the ball more than roughly 85% of the programs in college football. It was without any doubt a ground oriented era in which running backs ruled the day.

Archie Griffin, Joe Washington, the Pruitt brothers from Oklahoma, Tony Dorsett, Earl Campbell, Billy Sims, Marcus Allen, Charles White, etc., etc, etc.

USC used to be known as, I believe, Toss Sweep, or something to that nature. Woody Hayes, the beloved and tempermental Ohio State head coach said that only 3 things can happen when throwing the football, and two of them were bad.

Back then the wishbone was in style, and big time teams ran the ball 80% of the time or more. Rarely would you see QB's from major universities throw for even 2,000 yards. Tom's offense was thought of as being revolutionary at the same time as being gimicky and not the type that would win championships. It really wasn't until Miami and Florida State were able to win National Championships with solid passing attacks that it was accepted as the type of offense that could win anything of substance.

Jordan Adams was under Cally and never played QB here, Gabbert would have done the exact same thing here that he did at MIzzou and would have been drafted, you can't put that on anything but him panicking when Cally was fired. He actually approached the staff about possibly rejoining the class in 08 but in the end decided not to. Baby Gabbert, well, who really cares there.

All 3 were recruited by Sean Watson, during the time we ran an actual Pro Style offense.

Look at what I added to that post.
