Another thing that many aren't factoring is the transfer possibility. I don't know Martinez, or his character, but one would have to consider if Frost would decided to bench Martinez for Vedral that Martinez could get pissed and transfer out. I doubt Frost wants another Gebbia situation. So he has to play the situation very carefully. Marinez is struggling no doubt, but guessing we can all agree we don't want to lose him.
Martinez playing?
- Thread starter Ewooc
- Start date
I'm not sure I've ever seen Martinez pissed off. Maybe a little bit rattled at a press conference, but pissed? I doubt he would be interested in playing somewhere else, even if he was benched. My guess is he might turn to basketball. I think he's more suited to that game, but unsure if he's good enough at it to get a scholarship.
Someone should start the Official Adrian Martinez kicks puppies, cheats on exams and puts Coke in his water cup thread.
Then we could all post our uncanny observations about his character, followed quickly by the caveat that we don't know two ***** about the guy.

The problem is vedral has Not gotten a meaningful chance to prove anything one way or another. He should have seen significant action in the 2nd half of the Ohio State game. Just saying from what I saw with my two eyes. AM has not been impressive watching accuracy wise during pregame and vedral seems to be a step faster when he came in the game.
My only response is that’s what practice is for. Not trying to be a smart aleck, just saying we’ve seen a fraction of what the coaches have seen. If they are close, the coaches aren’t going to make a change. Vedral really needs to wow them in practice for a change to happen.
And I can’t see the coaches staying with Martinez for 2 1/2 more years if this is the best he’s gonna be.
You are in a regressive funk following this substanceless post. Words like "looked" are ignorant and pointless. Amart statistically is even to his stats from last year with a vastly inferior offense. His backup lead us on a 35 yard drive and got us 3 points in 1 quarter of play...
I for one will be shocked if he plays at all. With a bye week coming, and the meat of our schedule ahead - I don't think they risk hurting him worse, especially in the cold, perhaps slippery weather.He can be standing in full pads during stretching for all the media to see. He can also be standing on the sidelines in full pads and not actually practicing when the media leaves. I am hopeful but not reading anything into this until kickoff on Saturday. Winking

I’d rather roll with Vedral and I agree get 2AM healthy during the bye week and playing the last 5 games..
Seeing him leaving the field Saturday, looks like he isn’t going to have his full mobility in Minneapolis...
Next man up...we are headed in the right direction regardless. Any nerd can look up stats but football is bigger than stats...gotta have a football eye to see the details of this beautiful game. So dont get your panties in a bunch just because we dont worship your numbers. Adrian Martinez is not showing improvement in year 2.
He really couldn't put any weight on it leaving the field. But I'm not an orthopedist, so maybe a few days rest with some meds and therapy and he's good to go.
