We have to get him this spring. No excuses. He’s got one year left, has regressed a bit without Lujan, is local, isn’t ready for the NFL yet, would get an NU grad degree… can we manifest this? Lol
Mark Gronowski
- Thread starter Baz=Heisman
- Start date
Good grief. We talk about Gronowski like he is some mythical man-beast with magical powers that can redeem the kingdom. We need a lot more than a good transfer QB to put together a competitive team.
Ramsey turned us into Champs after 3-9 season. It isn't the only thing. But it is the most important. At the least m gronowski would get us to a bowl game. MG is better than ramsey. And MG made lujan look like a potent wizard

Suggest NU land three OLmen before attempting to land a QB, or stay with Lausch for that matter. Who would come with a line that gets steamrolled? Everyone is down on Lausch but I am super impressed he is still standing upright. That is one athletic guy.

I’d be happy if we got a QB (hopefully Gronowski), 2 solid OL, and 2 WR’s in the portal. That might help a lot.
Lol is right - not sure how he’d think coming here would help his NFL prospects.
Umm… he’d be on national TV every week. Start there. And he’s a serious student (3.7 GPA in mechanical engineering) so he’s probably thinking of more than just the No Fun League.
Not in play. Coaches believe in the trajectory of Lausch and Boe.
I was at the game, he was on of the few players that looked to have a pulse. Kirtz was another.
That’s problematic. Lausch has not shown the growth in decisionmaking that I’d hoped. Not regressing but he is more inconsistent than earlier in the year. To a non expert, he just looks like he doesn’t know how to run the offense. Whether it’s RPO decisions, making reads and adjusting at the line, knowing when to tuck and run (almost never) and when to pull the trigger and just throw it (how many drop backs end up with him sacked or running out of bounds or throwing it away)?
At this point, the body of work by Lausch suggests he is a good athlete who is trying to be a QB, not a QB who happens to be a good athlete. He may still end up like a Mike Kafka by year five, but he doesn’t have the arm of Kafka.
If I were Braun, I would hit the portal for a QB as if my job depended on it. Not sure Gronowski either.

Can you get the NU grad degree in one year? I mean the second half is prepping for the pros.
It is just that he has only had success under Lujan and actually knows the O rather than having to learn a new one
Some of that might have to do with the Ds he is facing in the last couple games. He is not getting a whole lotta help out of OL or running attack eithe ( mean the team ran for negative yds against Mich actually about 11 yds. It was negative the last graphic I saw) Pretty hard to be successful under those circumstances

Well, if that's the case, the new AD had better be coach shopping.
Yes. There are several masters programs. NU basketball players have done it. Cam Johnson did it last year in football as well.
If we go into next season with that bum Lausch as QB1 we might as well not sell season tickets. He’s atrocious.
Sports Administration is a one year program.

Some defenses will always be better than others. He’s looked decent against the worse defenses we’ve faced (Purdue, etc.) and bad against the better defenses we’ve faced (OSU, Michigan, etc.). This isn’t at all surprising.
He will be anyway in the winter of 2025. 3 wins at best next season with a new stadium opening and premium tickets to sell.
