[Husker] A Word of Caution to ...

... those HuskerListers who with every good intention and all 
sincerity have been leveling harsh criticisms of Zac Lee: it might 
stand them in good stead to recall that we've seen this scenario 
before.

About a decade ago the List was rampant with harsh criticism of Scott 
Shanle who, critics claimed, lacked size, moved too slow, couldn't 
tackle, and didn't have football smarts.

Scott is now playing his ninth season in the NFL as starting outside 
linebacker with the New Orleans Saints.

The above is only an analogy, and while an analogy never proves 
anything, it can provide  illumination which in this case seems 
needed.

When an offense struggles in the running and/or passing game, the 
problems almost always originate with the offensive tackles around 
which all offenses have to be built. I don't pretend to have the 
exposure, experience, or expertise to pinpoint the specifics of the 
case, but I'd like to ask any HuskerLister with those qualifications 
to fill all of us in on the particulars.
