Husker Corner: Martinez getting some props

Hope he is able to live up to all the pre-season hype. Fortunately I think he has the right attitude and mindset that won't let the hype or press affect him.
Agreed but at the same time I’m not worried at all about that with him. Dudes a legit QB and everyone has seen that. That’s why he’s getting so much attention. Plus side, this will only help us in recruiting on the offensive side of the ball. Players want to play with elite QBs.
Confidence and greater awareness, as he plays more, both will get better, as will he.
Too late , AM already had his injury.
Projections are, AM leads in almost all categories, % comp, completions, passing yards, rushing he might not make it to the top, but will be close, overall, he will pass most this year of all our qbs in total yards.
Similar to how Crouch was used, very qb dependent, but this includes a ton of rpos.

I mean.....qb? He did had better torque.
Adrian will handle his business, but his success will be very much dependent on OL and WR play. I wouldn’t be very concerned about WR if it weren’t for the coaches giving impression they’ve underperformed.
Coaches haven’t really let as much concern show about OL, but with those two interior spots, most on this board see that as potentially negatively impacting Martinez’ ability to put up Heisman numbers.

Yes, this year is going to tell us a ton about AM. So much hype with a fair amount of question marks surrounding the team. We think we know what he is made of. We will know for sure after the season is over.
With the best option for any high school qb coming to college ball, SF and Verdu take a back seat to no one, no hc/qb coach in the nation.
So, when they say AM is special, time to listen up.
SF sees it as his responsibility to surround AM with playmakers, not for a better chance of success, but to make sure AM has the options this staff is fully understanding, that he will use, or, to make it more plain, AM is the guy, lets not waste him.

He would have been a heisman finalist if he didn’t get hurt his freshman year
And you gotta throw RB in there too. We've got to have options besides QB. We're going to be serviceable with what we have, but having Maurice this fall will be a game changer. The less rushing attempts AM has the better/healthier he'll be.
What’s the point of being a mobile quarter back if you dont run the damn ball ?
Not my point. IF you QB is the biggest threat you focus on him. Chances of injury go up. IF you have more than one good RB, harder on defenses and less chance of I jury. Carries go down but yardage might actually go up.
Definitely true and definitely a possibility. I have a feeling we aren’t hearing much about it because we do have some talent on the online and there is a number of guys that could/should be able to step up and feel that gap. Last year a lot of them where still young and learning. This year they now have a chance to step it up and win their spot. We have the talent and potential there, hopefully Austin can bring them along.
Plus side is, our QB isn’t a statue QB. If there’s pressure, he’s every bit as dangerous with his legs or throwing on the run. That will help a ton with some learning curves or trail and error on a few guys at guard spot.
His throwing motion has never changed pal.
Agreed. His mobility will make OL play more forgiving, but we also need the push in the middle as a serviceable option.
I remember Tommy Armstrong not getting sacked much, but he was a master of avoiding sacks at times...cue the next year with Tanner Lee and it was open feast for opponents.
OL is critical for real success regardless.
I think the oline from this season on will be improved and we will never see issues like we have had the past few years again. Agreed there, oline cant ever get like it was again, period.
