Why because he was WR at another school?
It would be safe to say that no QB on the current USF roster could even make the team at Nebraska. Eveld has done nothing but regress since his 2010 game against Miami, and I don't know what he did (or didn't do) to lose his spot to Matt Floyd.
Brion is similar to BJ Daniels. And whatever deficiencies he has with his arm, he can make up for with his legs. Our other QBs can't say that. And Brion gets us more than 28 total points in our last four games. He probably equals or surpasses that total in the Miami game alone.
Considering Nebraska has 4 former walk-ons at QB, I'd give Bobby and Matt a decent shot. Though it does speak volumes about Carnes at QB that he got passed over on the depth chart by so many walk-ons that he had to change positions.
What really speaks volumes is that Matt Floyd can't even get a play off and Eveld regressed enough to be his back-up. And those Spring Game numbers? Pathetic. All they have is height. Brion would outclass them in pretty much everything else.
Which is why his coaches allowed 4 players not even recruited to pass him on the depth chart, then made him switch to a totally different position (which he also didn't get any playing time at), and then gave him the ok to transfer to another school. Matt and Bobby are very much below average, but Brion isn't exactly Russell Wilson looking to transfer.
Brion's no Wilson, and I knew playing time would be a challenge for him at NU. When Martinez won the job as a FR, then retained it as a SO, I knew Brion would get buried in favor of younger/future QBs. It doesn't change the fact that he played very well in NU spring games and can make plays in more than one way. He doesn't have as many reps, but after seeing the way Bobby and Matt have played, I'm shocked that people are actually favoring them.
