Casey Thompson vs Adrian Martinez
- Thread starter BuckysBoys1
- Start date
2 things can be true - #1 they were a bad o line, #2 Adrian’s weaknesses (reading a defense, going through progressions, pocket awareness) made them look even worse than they really were
It is bud. Your of the I don't need no stinkin line in front of me, I'll go out there by myself and tear it up with no line on the field and and get named All-American. You're not to bright!
anyone else see the irony in questioning another's intelligence with the grammar of an 8-year old?
there are dozens of quarterbacks who would've run circles around AM last year with everything being equal.
Hard to read anything when your running for your life due to no protection which was the case most of the time. Most of the times he ran was because the OL broke down and he had no protection.
Your posts are absolute **** period! You think you know what your talking about, NOT!
you think having the person who was responsible for giving the ball to the other team more than one time per game was not our biggest problem?
let me guess.. kicking game? LaughingLaughingLaughingLaughingLaughingLaughingLaughingLaughingLaughingRollingLaugh
people like you make being right all the time exhaustingYour posts are absolute **** period! You think you know what your talking about, NOT!
have a great time watching ksu this year, brainless
Admit it. He was terrible. Spin it all you want. I don't blame him though. This was Frost.
I vote QB play was our biggest problem whether it was due to Martinez, Verduzco, Frost or a combination thereof. I also argue that even if QB weren't our biggest problem (like maybe Frost mismanaging every aspect of the program being the biggest problem), QB play wasn't "far" from that problem. It was still a huge problem.
if thompson can hit passes better in the red zone.
it will more then counter balance losing martinez running ability
(I don't make a habit of watching burnt orange football so maybe thompson can run, idk. he sure seemed talented in the game I did see him in against the okies)
the real plus is if thompson can hang onto that ball and make clutch plays with the game on the line.
the coaching changes, could be a huge upgrade to the situation also.
will be interesting how adrian is with the mildcats, wish him well, but thompson more well..
which is ironic cause back in the 80's there wasn't alot of wishing his dad well, on the field...lol

Read BrightRed24s post right above yours because it is dead on and you are beyond clueless.
Yea.....a high school kid posted on his hudl that he ran a 4.5 and you believe it?
Kind of like you believe Damon Benning and the rest of the media? I would rather believe a high school kid than the trash the media spews.
Not wrong here. And if you're going to feature your qb in the running game it's gonna be hard to land a top rb. They want the ball
Are you talking about early season Martinez? Or mid-to-late season Martinez that was a broken shell of himself annually? I DGAF about comparing their running skills. That’s fool’s gold.
Yes…40 yard dash times are not completely indicative of a players ability to run. I bet Mickey Joseph ran a faster 40 than Tommie. Who was the better running Qb?
I sincerely hope CT is the second coming of Turner Gill but I have my doubts.
Well Stepp, Morrison…maybe even Mills (can’t remember) were 4 stars. So your spin that Neb can’t attract highly regarded guys rings a bit hollow. Unless you are admitting that Neb’s talent evaluation needs a little work?
They're decent yes but I wouldn't put them as elite or a program builder. Bellcow rbs want the ball and definitely want more carries than the qb
They turned out not to be bell cows but they were highly regarded when we recruited them. Don’t disagree that they didn’t meet hype/expectations.
Unfortunately so have many on O. Hopefully we get better development with the changes
Looked pretty good and accurate in clips I've seen. Best on target I've seen at NU in years....we'll see next fall because I've learned that the spring game isn't what it used to be either
IT'S THE LINE! AMART WOULD'VE WON A HEISMAN WITH A LINE. I KNOW IT IN MY HEART OF HEARTS! YOU MEANIE!!!
I don't know why we are arguing here. Our o-line was terrible. Might still be...we don't know yet. AM was terrible. He was never clutch. Is Casey better? Who knows? Hopefully. These two things (our OL and Martinez) operated in cohesion with the other, not independently there of. Also, you gotta include Greg Austin (why he hasn't been mentioned is besides me), Ryan Held (same thing), Mario and some guy named Frost. Our defense was statistically worse than our offense (as far as Big Ten rankings go), but we had leaders on defense, and made clutch plays. I was a huge fan of Dismuke, D Williams, and Taylor-Britt along with Jojo.
At least we'll get to see if the coaching and player replacements are better. I am drinking the Kool Aid again. When you statistically have an offense ranked in the 5-8 range and a defense in the 8-10 range in the Big Ten, you should finished better than 1-8. With these changes, I think we have a good chance to do so.

You know what is funny about this, is CT commented that our line play helped influence his decision to come here. The line he played with at UT was absolute garbage.
Our needs a lot of improvement, but it was hardly the issue why we lost so many games.
CT is a much faster decision maker, from what I can tell of his prior film.
Is he a better decision maker? we don't know yet, but just processing things faster is going to be a huge help.
From his standpoint, he's going to get more time to throw on average, and that might also help his performance too.
We won't really know how this goes until we start playing games, but the QB standing back there all day trying to figure out what to do, probably won't be an issue in this offense next year.
This team was basically 7-10 points per game from being a 1 loss team.
Nebraska's redzone scoring average with Martinez at QB was about 75.3%.
OU with Thompson was #1 in the country at 96.23%
We don't have to get to 96% Just getting to 80% wins nearly every game last year. 80% is incredibly doable for this team and it's an easier schedule.
The biggest concern is the D-Line. Unfortunately Tuioti for all the talk was a terrible recruiter and the line Is incredibly thin and very green. Luckily they moved Dawson there and he is a pretty good recruiter and they should be pretty good going forward (Though it's still a stupid arrangement) but this year is going to be hairy if injuries pile up.

Did you expect CT to come and criticize the O line. Of course he's going to say they were good
Why? Is there a requirement to mention the line as a reason for making a decision? If he just says, I was excited to learn from Coach Frost and Coach Whipple and Coach Joseph and my dad have been friends for over 30 years and I felt comfortable with what was going on in Lincoln, that wouldn't have been enough? There was no reason to even mention the OLine, good or bad, as a reason for choosing Nebraska.
Really? Dude can’t check down for **** but come on our line couldn’t protect their mother!
see what Tuco wrote..
I think you're reaching too far on that.
We have had a lot of changes, personnel and coaching wise, and the reports so far are good.
Can we believe everything we hear? Of course not, but I'm cautiously optimistic in the state of the program right now.
