Moiraine Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Here is why people think Martinez could start next year, and I'm not sure why anyone would feel incredulous about people thinking it's possible. a) None of the current roster knows the playbook any better than Martinez, and that won't change if he enrolls in January. b) We don't have a clear #1 QB right now given Lee's play (although it did improve). 3 years ago Armstrong was a pretty clear #1 although people always cheer for backup QBs. Lee's position is far more shaky than his was and he may not even be here. c) He can run the ball better than any QB on our current roster and Frost wants a QB who can run it. Yes, he's had someone like Milton who is a decent runner, but I'm guessing he'd pick a very good runner who completes 57% of his passes over a decent runner who completes 60%. (and yes I'm just throwing those numbers out there). 1 Quote Link to comment

However, Milton was a 69% passer who averaged 10 ypa - and I'm sure Frost would take that over a very good runner at 57% every time. Edited December 13, 2017 by RedDenver 2 Quote Link to comment

Gebbia's probably higher and I think it'll be a good competition. Quote Link to comment
