QB controversy
- Thread starter Pennsyhusker_rivals246774
- Start date
Injured starters get their jobs back, but if the backup played well, the starter is on a shorter leash.
Do we know that for sure. Coach Osborne policy but can't say I've heard Coach Frost say it. Maybe he has and I missed it.
I cringed today because Frost walked himself into a corner. He pointed out today that it was their cleanest Monday the entire season, then he backtracked and said it was probably because it was simpler, but then went for it and said it was the the day with the best execution, speed, and fewest balls on the ground. Frosty has done his best to respect Amart and dispel any idea of competition but this was either a major slip-up or a warning for AM. The weird thing is...AM's numbers aren't that bad..especially if you take out the OSU game where he had no help. I think it is just Frosty forgetting his setting and being Nebraska honest. He'll learn to become T.O honest before long.
I’m not against Martinez here, I think he’s our beast shot at quarterback. He deserves his share of criticism though and some of those side throws need to stop. He throws more of them at someones feet than I care to see. He’s had a fair number of somewhat easy throws that he screwed up by trying to be cute.
He’ll get his head in it eventually I’d have to assume but right now I’d say he suffering from the dreaded sophomore slump.
I just think he gets glorified on some plays when his throwing motion is unconventional, maybe causing him to think that he should do it more often (he shouldn't). Hoping you are right about his head! GBR!
Yeah when you make those throws they can be spectacular but how many of them are successful?
Bingo!!! Competition amongst mentally strong players brings out the best in players. If Vedral plays well, hopefully it forces Martinez to raise his game. Sitting over on the sideline for a short bit could do wonders for him. Maybe he will be able to see things more clearly when it comes to decisive decision making.
Yes, it's downright scary that we don't have anybody better at center. Our whole OLine is as thin as a sheet of paper. I "really" hope we'll have at least some depth next year.
you ask for examples of when you're being a horses ***, so I'll play along:
what could you possibly be basing these claims about Vedral being not as error prone on? he's played, what, 25 snaps in his entire career? thrown, what, 8 passes his entire career? half of which were in meaningful gametime?
how can you make these unfounded claims about the backup, about whom you know nothing, while at the same time shoveling your horsesh*t about AM all over this board?
I was making light of the prior comment that Martinez's best days are behind him.
Obviously a different situation... but you don't think you were being juuuuust a bit hyperbolic with saying that Martinez's best days are behind him? As a true sophomore just 6 games in??There is so much here that can be said, but I won't if you really can't figure out the difference between an NFL MVP having an off game and Martinez and his ongoing situation.
IF Vedral comes in and makes this offense click. I don't know how Frost could realistically bench him. I understand sticking with your guy, but the job of a coach is to play the best players that give us the best chance to win right now. I believe 100% Martinez is the better of the 2, and will be the best option long term,but he isn't playing up to his full potential for whatever reason. If Vedral is playing better right now, he has to be the guy until proven otherwise.
That's it, do away with message boards. Too many retarded fans don't want to discuss the team Time saved!!!!
Vedral isn't going to throw for 450 yards and 2 tds against Minny. That is around what Amart had in two games this year. Amart is statistically even to his output last year in the first 6 games. Throw in the fact he doesn't have a reliable lineman, RB, or WR core, and is relying on a true freshman to be his main play-maker and that doesn't equate to replacing him. There are a lot of bad qbs in college football...Amart isn't one of them. Your expectations far outrace reality as the qb is dependent on the rest of the offense. Imagine any of our former qbs with this offense. It would be a disaster. Vedral and Amart might even be even right now but the ceiling for a 19 year old Amart is much higher.
Impressive you know all this about Vedral after watching him play for 20mins. Would definitely take this straight to Moos
24/7 was saying that us Husker fans should not to be surprised if Luke McCaffrey gets a shot or the nod vs Minnesota. The players say he’s one of, if not the fastest guy on the team. Wandale Robinson says Luke McCaffrey has an arm on him and then he just goes on about how Luke can make defenders miss tackles in the open field. I wouldnt be mad one bit if we used one of his 3 games on a week when Martinez is hurt...if he can’t go this Saturday. Take advantage of that speed and torch Minnesotas defense. GBR
That would be pretty cool. Would be a good use of one of his four freebie games.
Just win. It shuts everybody up. I'm more than comfortable in seeing Vedral operate the offense against Minnesota.
I think it will be good for AM to watch.
who said it has to be because of an injury?
right now, Adrian is playing like crap. don't care what his ceiling or floor looks like.
same goes for Jurgens, if he can't snap the ball consistently, then he has no business being a center.. who cares what his ceiling or floor is.. that is for all the droolers to contemplate.

Yeah, I hear ya. Watching the spring game had me blown away....that McCaffrey has that insane acceleration that TMart had. Wow.....he's really something!
Sure Nikki, but it could be because we've got no one worth rolling the dice at center. I don't know.....but whatever the truth is still stings.
That's a fine idea to me. But there must be a good reason we almost never do that.
Well, if our center could snap to anyone besides 'the broad side of a barn', it wouldnt matter.
