Voted T-Mart, but I almost have to ask which T-Mart. Early T-Magic the runner? Junior year, really not a bad passer T-Mart? Gimpy, injured T-Mart?

 
I voted Taylor but that is based on the assumption that he remains healthy as he was as a frosh.   If I have to take the injury, then the decision is a coin toss.  Lord was tougher runner but Martinez was lightning fast.   I would not run the offense he had to but Frost's offense would fit him well.  

Neither would be in my top ten of Husker QBs however.   If Lord could have been even an average passer with a better playcaller helping him out, he would have been great.

 
I've always said Lord's biggest 'flaw' was simply that he couldn't be a one-man offense like Crouch was. The thing is, he shouldn't have needed to be a one-man offense, but that's the kinda way things were Solich's last few years.

 
This is a tough one for me.  T-Magic was one of the most electrifying players we've ever had and Lord was one of the toughest.  There were times with each when you were wondering what they were thinking.  Both gave it their all but neither won a championship (as a starter).  My vote goes to Martinez since he never wore those awful pants with the fat red line going down the side.
