Good lord some of you people are delusional. I gave up on giving you the facts. Clearly you don't watch the games and see there is some real problems with the flow of this offense. Footwork, pocket presence, timing, and throwing motion apparently don't mean sh#t to most of you. Then the guy is supposed to be able to run for days until uh oh? Every defense we play has figured out that that's all he can do and now what happens from here on out? Do you Taylor supporters ever watch any other football teams? There are other programs around the country that have 2nd and 3rd string QB's that blow the doors off of Taylor.....do you not watch any other football than Nebraska? Have you watched option football for so long that you forgot what passing game is supposed to look like?
If you support Taylor just because he is the current QB, I get that, but don't pretend for a second that Brion Carnes doesn't blow his doors off in every single category except the fact that Brion has no experience in real games. These coaches obviously don't want to give Brion a real shot at taking this f'ing' job....you know why? Cuz' Bo has such a hard on for Taylor it's not even funny. He defends the kid every time someone even mentions his name. If Brion was given a chance, you would see what a dual threat QB is really supposed to look like and you will all forget TM even existed.
I just ask one question of you Martinez supporters since you are clearly lost in a world where fundamental quarterback skills don't matter........when someone finally replaces Martinez and shows you what this offense is truly capable of will you have the balls to admit you were blind to see that the team is lacking a true leader, a vocal leader and a QB that can execute the offense?
If the next quarterback has all those skills that you are alluding that TM does not have (I'm not saying he has them). It is not going to matter much if the line does not block, and the receivers do not catch the ball. Every single player on our team, has much to improve on. (Even Rex). Basically, what I am trying to say is our whole offense needs to get better for the team to reach our (the fans) goals.
It's a lot easier for an offensive line to pass block when they have a QB that will step up in the pocket instead of freaking out and taking off any time someone gets within 2 feet of him. Step UP! This is what I mean when I talk about pocket presence and footwork. Most all of you here on Huskerboard have no clue what your looking for in Quarterback fundamentals. All you look at is stats and whatever crap the coaching staff feeds you. Brion may not have had a great grasp of the playbook, but even in the spring game his fundamentals blew Taylor out of the water, and not only that, his numbers blew TM up! Yet the coaches have nothing but excuse for Taylor. Why? What did they promise this kid? What does his dad have on this program? Is there something behind the scenes that we don't know about because Bo seems awful loyal to Taylor and I can't find any apparent reason why? You can say Burkhead has to get better but I call BS. When defenses know he's going to carry the ball 35 times a game, it kind of makes it easy to load the box on them. You can say our offensive line isn't blocking well but the same principle applies. There isn't an offensive line in the country that can block a 8 man rush every single damn down! Have you not seen the way defenses have loaded the box on us? What's your excuse? It's everyones fault but Taylors? If we had a threat at QB they wouldn't do that. If Taylor could even extend a play it would be great. But nope, Taylor either throws or runs, that's it. He doesn't roll out, he doesn't move the pocket he doesn't extend plays. You can blame the wideouts, but when you have a QB that tends to take off the way Taylor does it makes things very hard for a WR. He doesn't know when his pass catching duties or blocking duties begin and end. 1 second your running your route, the next second Taylor is taking off and your trying to block someone. Please, any of you who think you know football, debate anything I say with some actual football facts. You can't do it.
