HAHA, yeah all off season all you heard was how he was going Pro after 1 season... now today they are ALL ready to start their back up sophomore.

I've watched both Nebraska games and despite the interceptions at Oregon, Tanner Lee is good.

I watched both games also. Oh, he has a good arm, but the kid must be color blind ...
At Tulane, 28 TDs, 25 INTs, 53% completion rate
At Nebby, 5 TDs, 4 INTs, 52% completion rate
Way overrated. He is Tommy Armstrong without the wheels.

That vaunted OR defense. He obviously has a lot of the tools to be a good QB - he just hasn't proven it what so ever. So, despite the INTs - I'll wait to see him prove it before I declare anything.
I haven't seen a lot of Lee but if he's that bad (Tommy without mobility) than I find it surprising Nebraska has scored 30+ in both of their games.

I've watched every snap he's taken, he's a much better passer then TA - but not nearly as mobile. TA was able to keep plays alive an occasionally scramble around and make a play. In fact, that was his most redeemable quality. Lee gets pressured and makes bad decisions much like TA did normally

Tanner Lee certainly looks the part....but has played about how he played at Tulane....bad completion % and poor TD/INT ratio....
I hope so. He's looked great. But I'll pump the brakes and say let's play some BIG competition before making any declaration type of statements. Wyoming and ISU defenses aren't exactly eye turning. But so far so good. Four 89 yard TD drives.... that's a Yo I don't care who it's against. Including the last one to tie it up and then the winning throw in OT being a roll out right on the money. I'd say he's well on his way and ahead of schedule in terms of meeting expectations.

What I liked, and it shows the faith they have in Stanley....20 throws on 1st down. That's a huge departure from what we normally see and is another way BF is breaking tendencies. Another thing I liked....the number of throws out of 12 and 22 formations....in the past that was almost always a run...especially 22 formation....

The one time they showed Brian in the booth, it looked like he was pulling equations from the air. I know he's not that smart, but he's definitely keeping the defense guessing.

The real question though, is if possible, would you trade Stanley for McSorley straight up?They do at least through 2 games - might have the best in the conference so far.
The answer you're looking for is, "Yes."

Right now, I'm not necessarily focused on how good or bad the defense is.
What I'm focusing on is the variety of formations and the variety of calls out of those formations, how much we are breaking from our historical tendencies out of both the called formations as well as down and distances. And I'm really liking what I'm seeing there.
That'll keep a guy like Fitz, who I swear knows our playbook better than the team does, from loading up on specific formations or down and distance tendencies.
At that point, it really will be pure execution. Which is why I've not particularly like it when KF has talked about "execution" in the past because I've felt that he's hamstrung our offense from being able to truly execute because of the tendencies he's refused to back away from....until this year so far anyway....

A community college D last week - that throttled Iowa, a clown college D this week that did similar things... it's not like the rest of the league are all playing the best of the best either. In most cases it's at least comparable.
