I certainly would not say he had feet of concrete. Jerry Tagge did alright running the football for the "Huskers" I don't think Tagge was not known as a great passer,  because the Nebraska "Huskers" did not pass much. Jerry Tagge was drafted in very low round  of  NFL draft (first round, I think but not positive) by the Packers.   I think the Nebraska team he was on, was  a very good   team, as Nebraska usually  had very powerful teams for many yearsIt was said by some in GB,  because Tagge's  high profile status of playing in his home town of Green Bay as QB  for the Packers, was  perhaps  the worst place for him to play.   It was was a rumor, that  there were too many distractions  in Green Bay for him to concentrate on his development as a successful  all around Quarterback for the Packers...  -Then again Tagge may never really had the talent  to develop into a successful Packer  QB.  Tagge was soon no longer on the Packer team.</blockquote>
