Case in point: Talk about Martinez has now hijacked the Husker Extra recruiting chat ...
Martinez inspires some pretty strong feelings one way or the other. A lot of people say "well he's the QB and the next guy will get just as much sh!t" - but I don't remember Ganz, or Taylor dividing people so much. They were both better (or performed better) than Martinez, but not by such a wide margin that they should be free of ridicule.
With Martinez it's love/hate. Not many in between. You either think he will be successful here in the next 2 years, or you have come to the conclusion that he won't be (but I'm still hopeful, 1 in a million ). That's what being the starter for 2 years gets you...enough of an evaluation period that people have made up their minds one way or the other.
Been a long time since we had a 2 years starter with 2 years left. He's in a unique position.
