QB Adrian Martinez [Nebraska - Signed LOI]

He is a pocket passing QB who is slightly athletic running the ball.  He has zero experience in an offense like Frost's.  He also is a twig and will most likely snap in half should he get drilled while running.

You need a running QB in this offense to be an actual home run threat... Someone who can take it to the house each time.  If not, no respect will be given and the defense can count on the QB not being a threat.

He's currently bigger than the QB that ran Frost's offense this past season. I realize this has been pointed out to you, but the point still stand. 

If Gebbia is the starter this season, he will be fine. Frost will tailor the offense to suit his strengths.

Funny how everyone is saying that a QB who played and was recruited for a different scheme is suddenly ok to run (and some even infer, will succeed greatly) one he never has before and he's suddenly going to be able to be a run threat (not a scramble threat).

Seems to me you guys might be ignoring a few things.

Also I'm not saying Gebbia can't put on weight... I only have one data point to reference for his weight.

Maybe you should just see how Frost incorporates things before assuming Gebbia or POB can't do anything.

Dude....you were just flat out wrong with your assessment of what is needed to make this offense work (a qb that can take it to the house every time).

Sorry to burst your bubble.

Nobody knows if Gebbia is going to be a stud in this or not or if he will ever play for Frost.  But, his stats in HS and what we have seen in the spring game matched up with what the UCF QBs have done, are evidence that he has enough mobility to make this offense work.

And...for some reason, you just seem to ignore all of it.

Milton ran just shy of 8 carries a game.. for all those mathamajicians out there that's 2 carries a quarter.  Not saying you but to me that doesn't scream Frost's offense needs a running qb. I'm old and slow and I think I could handle running the ball 2 times a quarter especially when the defense is all running the opposite direction because of how plays are run.

Your post makes no sense and brings nothing to the discussion.  Also, you mean it as a dig at me...which is pretty lame.

You used Milton's height/weight and compared it to Gebbia's height/weight and said what is ideal for a RB? What am i missing? Neither of those two are RBs. So why the hell does it matter, devnet. Just admit you dont know what youre talking about when it comes to Frosts offense.

Milton had one rush this year longer than 25 yards.  He went 12-0, won the conference and finished 8th in the Heisman voting in directing the #1 offense in the country.

I think you are completely making this up.

I forget which game that was but I remember thinking Milton wasn't very fast and Gebbia could make that run. I think what Gebbia might lack compared to Milton is a quick burst to get going and cutting ability on those 3-10 yard runs.  Milton had a TD run against USF where he froze a defender and cut inside. I don't know if Gebbia has that and the extra 4 inches makes it more difficult. Should be an interesting spring game.

I may be thinking of a different play.  Wasn't the defender froze more by a fake pitch than a sharp cut?
