Hopefully he doesn't give us fits like Christian did. I wonder what Nebraska offered him?
OT: Christian McCaffery's Brother Going To Nebby
- Thread starter IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life
- Start date
His Stanford-educated father and brother, as well as his Duke/Vanderbilt-educated uncle and Georgetown-educated aunt, must be extremely disappointed.
They are wetting themselves and the kid has not even started for his high school team( brother who went to Mich and Colorado qb in front). I'm sure he is a heck of an athlete but I'm willing to bet he doesnt play a down of QB in the b10. Safety or WR. That being said...... sure would be nice if we got a commit soon.
Thanks IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life. It's nice that you keep us eastern Iowa Huskers informed even before it hits the Nebraska airways.
The big10 would love that. Old tommy armpunt was the best player on the 2015 Iowa team.
Armpunt was 6-1 200 coming in. This kid is 6-3 and 165 wet. That is nowhere near the same person. Tommy was as thick as a running back. This kid is a stick. (An athletic stick, but still a stick)
He is definately a project at quarterback. He could end up staying at quarterback but being stuck behind Gebbia/Martinez for 3 years anyways, or get possibly moved as he’s a 4* Athlete on 247. He needs a lot of work for sure development wise, but he has good potential. Ed McCaffrey must have some crazy good genes to produce 4 D1 college football athletes!!
Never understood your kind. I grew up in SW Iowa and there were a lot of Debbie fans. Made me sick. Almost like you are a traitor. Move to Ogallala, NE would you.
You're right. I was referring to his throwing motion. The back foot throws took me back.....
And what kind is that! A dedicated football fan that chooses bugeaters over ditch chickens? By the way you ought to try Ogallala...best walleye fishing in the US.
OG= Best walleye in US........ you need to get out of Nebby man.
You need to get with the program. Johnsoda123 already knows I live in eastern Iowa.
Well now you're just being a dumb azz. I've fished Lake McConaughy. Not even close to walleye fishing I've fished in the Detroit River, Devils Lake, Lake Erie, Mississipi River, Lake of the Woods.Oh by the way dumb azz, Hawks feast on chickens
I'm telling ya, Nebby success will cause these cultist to infest every message board while their moderator protects their safe space. God, family and trying to convince everyone how great Nebraska is. They don't care what you think as long as it's about them. It's just a really disturbing mentality. If we could actually have an open discussion on the Husker board, there wouldn't be all these threads. Why have I seen more people band from Neb than all the rest combined?
I credit even their morally/ethically questionable efforts in making and marketing the likely only nationally historically known product from such an irrelevant state. Iowans(Hawks/Cyclones) in general have more pride in it's land and the people in it, Nebraskans are Husker first! If they are better fans for that, then we are better people! Best state in the country with its worst infestation point in the whole state being from Nebraska.....go figure! Truly the biggest difference between our programs isn't its record (starting Devany/Hayden), it's reason and accountability.
Wonder if he will hold himself out of bowl games? Oh wait, he's going to Nebraska. Not a problem. Fogettaboutit.
Why is there a Nebraska commit thread on a three star QB who has a 2:1 TD:INT ratio and less than 900 passing yards as a backup QB in high school?
Can't blame him, they do something completely different to chickens in Nebraska.
In another thread, a few Iowa folks said that Frost will have a very hard time getting his system to be successful until he gets good QB play. He now has two 4-star QBs in the last two classes to help get things headed in the right direction. I think it is pertinent to a discussion about Frost's offense and his ability to implement it in the B1G, especially when MANY fans have stated it won't work in the B1G.
Here is an interesting take from recruiting analyst and writer Jeremy Pernell, aka N2FL on HuskerMax message board regarding McCaffrey and his fit with Nebraska's offense:
"My thoughts are there are certainly guys we were sitting good with that would have a higher ceiling in almost every instance. But we have one of the most unorthodox QB coaches in the country. Some of the things he coaches and talks about are basically taught as complete no-no's by other coaches. Throwing late over the middle, throwing late over the middle across your body, falling back, throwing one footed, all those things he talks to. Then you see our guys actually repping doing those things in practice, and you start to see why Milton at UCF had success throwing some odd balls to get them to the receiver "by any means necessary". You then look at McCaffrey's film, and he's doing a lot of the things we coach. So you can then say you don't have to change anything on how you QB, and I can even enhance those for you and you'll be Mckenzie Milton in no time. So from a "fit" perspective, i'm not sure it gets much better. But could someone with a higher ceiling be taught these things and end up being a better QB for us? I don't know.
You can skew it either way: he's a 4-star on both ESPN as a QB and 247 as an athlete. He's the #8 dual threat and #149 player in the country on ESPN. He's the #17 athlete and #262 overall on 247. He's just a 3-star on Rivals.
You can only bring up the stats you want, or you can bring all of them up and be objective. He threw for 800 yds, 76% completion, 6 tds, 3 ints, 550 yds rushing, 7ypc, 9 tds, total QB rating 127.6 as a backup to the starter, who signed with Colorado this winter. Before that, his brother was the starter, who signed with Michigan. So, there is a reason he hasn't played much yet as a QB. As a sophomore, he mainly played WR and caught 47 passes for 700+ yds and 9 touchdowns. He's playing in 5A in Colorado, which is the largest classification in the state at enrollment of 1,825 students and up.
I know what will happen next, is Hawk fans will say, "Nebraska fans are annointing him the next Heisman winner," or something like that, which isn't happening. He's a good recruit and an extremely important position for Scott Frost's offense. He could be great or he could be a nothing. Time will tell. Personally, I'm happy with him as the class QB, and look forward to seeing if he's a gamer like his father and at least one of his brothers has proven to be.
And yet it seems everyone is conceding the job to the transfer Patterson. I'm sure McCaffery is thrilled.
Congrats on the 3 star QB, do you think your team will stay within 30 of Iowa this year? Unlike the last 2 years.
Personally, I think the OP is a closet Nebraska fan. It seems he is the main perpetrator of starting one Nebraska thread after the next.
The rest of us, or at least most of us, don't give a flying f#%k about a has-been blue blood whose glory days faded with VHS tapes and Starter jackets.
This is just a different verse of the same song as far as Nebraska fans being tickled once again about incoming recruits and a new coach are concerned. Could Frost be successful? God only knows. Delusion runs rampant in Huskerland, so success is all relative. The greater point is you people continue to fling the same self aggrandizement and idiocy year after year. Yet, you wonder why the rest of the country roll their eyes every time Nebraska fans start thumping their chests when a new head boss arrives. The only thing more predictable is the illiteracy frequently demonstrated on these boards by your brethren in addition to the delusion and aggrandizement already mentioned.
Thank you.
Perhaps some day when I want to achieve ultimate coolness I'll hang out on the Nebraska board.
I don't disagree. Huck the Fuskers. I won't start a post about them. Just a gut feel, however. I think this much different than ex-Blueblood Golden Rodent 2. These guys have recruited well with crappy head coaches. Solich was above average and forced to take Osborne's coaches, a prostitute and two bottles of Maker's Mark. Can't blame him for getting run off to Ohio. Callahan wasn't a fit. Destroyed their walk-on program. Still recruited at a high level. I still love Pelini. If I were Jewish, I'd invite him to break plates at my kid's bar mitzvah just to cause trouble. Still recruited at a high level. Reilly (lol) made me want to become a failed AD and take a cool mil from a really dumb university. (To Debbie's board of regents, I post my resume on Indeed, Monster, Glassdoor and Careerbuilder.com, or just message me here at DEREKoh2 when Moose retires) Anyway, I hope I'm totally wrong, but Frost knows Debbie. They have a certified delusional fan base. And they can recruit, without a Ronald McDonald with striped socks in their back yard.

Late November in Iowa City (or Lincoln). I like the chances there as an equalizer compared to playing somewhere in California. A couple years he gets to end his season against the Gophs! That must have been the draw for him.
Consider him a clone of tom brady, barry sanders and labron james.
Unless he decommits then hes a dud.
Gee, thanks for telling us how great something Husker is on our board since yours is a safe haven for a narcissistic cult...
Big 10 games are won in the trenches and I’ve seen no evidence of Nebraska understanding it.
Well one thing is for sure is that their AD and fans are correct about 1% of the time and are legends in their own mind. hahahaha...…..ha
Cannot be stated any better. Big 10 football is trench warfare, especially later in the season and until you have some talented big uglies up front and some OL depth you will have no chance come November. Heck, even the vaunted tOSU has struggled with Tackle depth the past few years and they have the pick of the litter in recruiting every year. Neb has suffered injuries, poor recruiting and development on the OL and DL and it shows.
And, obviously this doesn't fix itself in a year or two, it takes time, technique and a proper S&C program.
