Most losses by an NCAA QB

I looked for it several months ago.
Few losing QB get several years in which to lose.
Elway and Cutler were the two I found that each got three years whilst losing. I believe Elway went 6-5 his last year. Been drinking so specifics are a bit fuzzy, but those were the only two I could find other than our illustrious record breaker currently. Think Adrian has this record, and it will be hard to break.

That would be too generous, Adrian is more like Cutler.
Does this mean Adrian has a chance at being drafted?
The comparing to Frost yesterday was nauseating. Frost was a leader as a QB. He was a winner. Adrian is none of those things. Winners win. Stats are for losers. At least Kelly Stouffer was calling him out on his 4 years of bone headed football.
Yep. The broadcast was all primed -- by someone -- for an AM hype commercial in the midst of a convincing Nebraska win, nevermind we were playing a crappy opponent at home after a bye.
Oops.
As the weekly "Martinez Meltdown" ensued, they really didn't have any other direction to go, though.
Didn't matter that he was single handedly gifting the game to them, missing open receivers, wildly inaccurate throws down field, running out of bounds a half yard shy of the first down, throwing pick sixes..... They kept talking about redemption and playing comparisons of SF running for TD's even after AM entered full meltdown mode.
The only good out of that segment was watching us beat #2 Washington in there house. Back when we were a national powerhouse and relevant. Not a moral victory and "we're not getting beat as bad" embarrassment. How far we've fallen in 20 plus years. It's a tragedy.
Frost had much better talent around him when he was our QB. We had the Outland winner. We had Ahmad Green.
We had Wistrom and Jason Peter on defense among others.
I know he had more talent. That was a National championship team. But that doesn't excuse 4 years of fumbles, interceptions and overthrows. That's all on Adrian.
It seems that AM often does not have open receivers. Along with all the pass rush he is under. That is less of a problem if they average 300 yards rushing rather than count on 300 yards passing.
It was lazy for the announcers to equate Frost suffering through a few boo-birds against UCF in 1997 to the criticism Adrian Martinez has had to endure. The situations could not have been more different if you tried.
Frost the player inherited a team in 1996 that had gone 36-1 in the previous three years. It still had a roster full of many of those guys. Except for laying an egg against Jake "The Snake" Plummer at ASU, he played well, and the team won behind a legendary head coach at the top of his game. The offense was listless against UCF until Frankie London got things started. Rather than the story being the loyal backup London getting his moment, it was about the poor starter having his feelings hurt.
AM was hand-picked by a new coach to be "The Man." Both coach and player failed to perform adequately. There are many issues with the team, but AM certainly isn't responsible for most of them. AM didn't recruit or coach the rest of the team. He's as much a victim of Frost's ineptitude as anybody. With that said, he sure has made some seriously bone-headed plays. Like the horrible Pick-6 yesterday.

We had lots of open receivers that game, AM just has the slowest blinker in the game and I also question if part of his NIL is having money on Purdue and other teams throughout the year. No way a 4 year guy can be that bad.
I believe so. I am guessing you are going to reply that many other teams use a similar offense.
No, and I'm not a D1 QB either. Listen, I'm not looking for AM to make every throw, but if you really think he is good at reading the defense and finding the open guy you are mistaken. He's just not cut out for that aspect. He also holds the ball way too long. I had high hopes for the kid, but he is a loser at the college level. I'm too lazy to look up all of the stats, but he is 14-23 as a starter and probably 80% of those are against non power 5 teams. Yes, he has put up some stats, but there is a ton of those that come in garbage time. He's a good kid, but good kids don't win games.
We will destroy Elway's loss record this season and and have a realistic chance to make a run at Cutler's next year if everyone will just stay put one more season.
