Is Martinez our QB of the future?...

Nebraska's Martinez turns heads in Red-White game - NCAA Football - CBSSports.com

They definitely need to use that speed in some way.....I'm not gonna lie he is a natural running QB. He sees holes before they open and he bursts through them with confidence....very Eric Crouchish in that respect. The 60 yards he had on the ground wasn't luck....that was all talent. I just wish the passing game wasn't as much of a question mark for him.

 

[iruletheskool]

again. that was not against our 1's on D and the defensive scheme was very basic...

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

It was against Jared Crick, Pierre Allen, Sean Fisher, Alfonzo Dennard, DeJon Gomes and Rickey Thenarse. That's enough 1's for me......both sides were pretty well evenly split as far as starters and nonstarters.

 

[iruletheskool]

I just get really skeptical when multiple people are hailing him as the next eric crouch after seeing him in one half of a spring game against a mix and matched base D...

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

Ha, yea I wasn't hailing him as anything.....I was just saying he is the best scrambling QB we have.....even the coaches have been saying that for a while now. Bo and Watson both said Martinez will be playing this season because of his running ability. But see there are always gonna be different groups of people backing different players. We have a group of people right now who definitely think Cody Green is the next Vince Young. We are puttin a lot of pressure on that poor kid.

I believe over the course of the next couple years (after this year) we will have pretty much a two QB system with Green and Martinez.....Green being more of a passing threat and Martinez being a wildcat type QB. I don't think Green is ever going to get the job alone. He'll get the bulk of the snaps though in the near future.

 

[iruletheskool]

I def. agree with you.. just a lot of hype around Taylor right now that i'm not sure is entirely warranted..

I really think Green is going to be a good one for us in the next year or two, with Martinez as a wildcat, or even lining him up at WR or RB and have 2 QB's on the field.. He's got the talent.

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

I honestly think the offense this season is going to catch a lot of people by surprise.....I know I've said this a million times already, but losing only 1 starter is huge. I think they'll be better than just an average offense........last year they were much worse than an average offense up until the bowl game.

 

[iruletheskool]

Our offense is stacked this year.. Our line is 10X improved and has more depth.. Niles Paul has potential to be a super stud WR, along with Kinnie and McNeil, it should be a pretty deep group.. TE's are deep and hopefully will get used.. RB is great for us if all are healthy.

The only ? is QB and honestly I really want to see Cody starting.. He throws a beautiful deep ball and is progressing nicely and with some experience against our cream puffs, he might be able to figure things out..

I have little confidence in Zac Lee and am preparing the biggest sweetest tasting crow platter ever if he proves me wrong.

Mark my word... Zac Lee is going to be a much better QB in 2010. Will he be improved enough to hold his starting position? That remains to be seen.

No doubt about it, Nebraska's offense will be much better than last year. I think our defense will be about the same as last year, overall, which means our team is going to be very, very tough to beat.

that is why i am preparing my crow.

that is why i am preparing my crow.

I'll prepare mine too just in case I'm wrong.
There's a 2.2375% chance I'll be wrong.

I don't know if we were looking at the same thing, but Green and Martinez obviously were taking on different roles on the field.

Green was 8 for 15 passing. Martinez was 5 for 9. Green also had a 79 yard passing play....how much of that was YAC? Green rushed 5 times for 12 yards. Martinez rushed 9 times for 60 yards.

Both of them were in there to do different things and both of them were the best at what they were in there for. Green passed and Martinez ran.

How many of Martinez's yards were before contact?

We all know that Green CAN run....

We don't know if Martinez CAN throw....

We all know Green wasn't really ready last year..........

Why after one PRACTICE....... Would Martinez be ready this year.........




After one PRACTICE......... Martinez is all the rage in this state and it's fucking rediculous........ especially cuz his stats weren't all that great..... Now obviously haven't WATCHED the PRACTICE because I wasn't going to drive 3 hours to watch a PRACTICE but...... How many of his running yards were off one big run??? or maybe two medium runs...........





Just remember...... We talking about PRACTICE, Man, PRACTICE

 

[Brasky]

Dude he's really fast. I mean really really effing fast.

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

I know people are having a hard time giving him credit after this one practice.....but he seriously is blazing fast. I don't care how we use him.....shit if they decide to have him return punts I don't give a shit. That kinda speed has to be utilized......

Also, simma down nah, kstatehata ......I wasn't taking a shot at your intelligence or anything.

 

[HawkeyeHater]

People are having a hard time giving him credit??????? 5 out of ten people I talk to are ready to have him start.............. next year.......


I know he's fast.... That's why most schools recruited him as a athlete

 

[iruletheskool]

Cody Green will start at least 2 years...
