This guy is a DB all the way. And with his size and speed, IMO he would be perfect.. now hear me out on this, but he would be perfect for.. the Nickle spot. Size like Eric Hagg, fast, athletic... he can be our next Eric Hagg. He is all DB... IMO.

Cows produce methane, a known greenhouse gas, which contributes to global warming. By eating this enemy of the environment, I'm helping to save the planet. It's something I do for my fellow humans. Me too. We're like brothers in arms. Me too! In fact, sometimes I get together with other people.. some people call them barbeques, but really they're save the earth meat eats. Meat eats? That sounds like something ENTIRELY different LOL.

Nobody has to put a number in front of Martinez to consider him as one of the greatest QB's at NU. But yet everyone wants to talk about number 1, 2, top 5, top 10. Doesn't matter, because Taylor has won football games for us, he's broken records, and he's played well as a QB at NU. I mean was Tommie ever a QB? Heck he didn't put up near the passing numbers Martinez already has and with a year left for him to boot. Tommie was a runner first, so why can't we consider him an athlete playing QB? Well you know what? It doesn't matter, because Tommie was our QB and soo is Martinez. And I'll be damned if I'm going to sit by and watch people try and make out that he isn't a QB or he isn't that good. Because you'd be flat out wrong. When it's all said and done, Martinez will be one of the greatest QB's at NU and he's been a key asset in our climb out of that God Awful Callahan era.

Why can't people just support Martinez? The kid has improved every year, broke tons of records, but yet some people attack him and try to give him as little credit possible. Makes me sick.

What's the point of a cow if we don't eat it and make baseball gloves out of it?

no more than yours does. That may be, but at least I don't make ridiculous accusations. What accusation did I make that you found ridiculous? Remember we're all Husker fans,, and I didn't mean to ruffle your feathers> All of them.

I completely agree. Martinez is faster than Tommie Frazier ever was and, if my memory serves me correct, is a statistically better thrower. Frazier had a 48% completion percentage in 1995. Can you imagine the uproar if Taylor threw for that low of a percentage? It wasn't that big of the issue - we didn't pass that much then. It was just as likely to get a 60 yard run as a 60 yard pass completion. Taylor doesn't play defense, so why would his numbers be different if the defense is better. The team win loss record may be better, but taylors numbers would stay the same. This guy ^

Oh and I wasn't the one who has a man crush on him.

Well considering he won the Heisman this year and the records he broke, I have nothing but the most respect for that kid. He's the real deal. You're opinion doesn't matter.

And you're basing this statement on what exactly? Tommy will start more than one game next yr because he'll earn it. The kid is a stud, can already pass better than Taylor, he's not as fast a runner, but he does have moves which taylor does not. Taylor runs like a track star, no forward lean and no lateral movement, and couldn't juke my sister. Taylor is a great athlete playing qb, while Tommy is going to be a great qb for us. I'm basing my opinion on players comments that are on the team and play with these guys everyday. Only time will tell of course, but let's face facts, Taylor is not a great qb and never will be. Eric took a team upon his back and got to the NC game before a defense could shut him down. Taylor gets shut down by every good team we play. I think back to all the great texass players that had great speed but really never amounted to anything. Taylor will be one of these types of players. I give credit where credit is due, and Taylor hasn't done anything to deserve to be mentioned in the same category as some of the Husker greats. I'm not referring to titles or conference championships. Taylor cannot take the team on his back and win a game. GBR 1HuskrFan... Did you watch any games this year? Because there's no possible way you could have with that comment you just made right there. I watched every game that was televised as I have for the past 50 yrs, Taylor runs like a track star, straight up, when he get tackled, he always goes up and backwards, that's why he fumbles so much. I would love to see him become a great qb, I just don't see the potential to do that. But he gets shut down by every good team he plays? Come on, man!

One minute you're talking about how Martinez loses us to many games because of turnovers... then you talk about Farve being the all time great when not considering the number of games he lost because of his own turnovers. Here's one. NFC conference championship against Saints when he was with Vikings.

Thought about this a while back. Manziel is listed on rivals as being recruited by a different TAMU coach, but I would have to think that Zac, as team QB's coach, still recruited him a little bit. Sherman's and ZT's last year on the staff was Johnny's first year in college and Johnny redshirted that year. Even though he was on scout team, ZT probably interacted and coached him up a tiny bit. Two completely different QB's, but it's still cool to think about nonetheless. Semi-related note: I think Martinez should try the same QB guru that Manziel went to, George Whitfield. No knock on Steve Calhoun, but Johnny in his spring ball before he was a starter was as interception-prone and as bad of a passer as freshman & sophomore Martinez. Manziel went to Whitfield in the summer after that, and I watched Johnny from his first game and all of his subsequent nationally televised games and his improvement throughout the season was unbelievably fast. He was making throws against Alabama he wasn't making against Florida in their season opener. I have no qualms with Martinez as a passer this year, but his improvement seemed lesser than Johnny's, who is now a better passer than Taylor. If TM gave Whitfield a try he might be able to experience the same returns, but it's not absolutely necessary. Taylor can hang his hat on a job well-done this season. sorry for the man-crush on Manziel. He is already my favorite non-Husker player in college football history. You must be a young kid to have Manziel as your favorite player after just one yr. To compare him to some of the super stars that have come before him and played great for 3 to 4 yrs. this kid hasn't really done anything yet. No conference titles, NC or any type of hardware and you have him as the greatest in college football history. You sir have a very limited exposure to the real football. The kid had an amazing freshmen yr, won the heisman due to the fact wasn't any competition for the award this yr. You could say he won by default.We'll see what his encore is like in 13. My guess is he'll have his head handed to him. He won't sneak up on anyone next yr. TAMU gets lit up next yr, I see at least 4 losses, and a couple of close wins that could be losses. .... HAHA is anyone taking this guy seriously?

Can you imagine the uproar if Taylor threw for that low of a percentage? Biggest difference I see is that Tommie was a winner period. Yeah, he had some tools, but so did Turner. As did Vince Ferragamo and David Humm. We've had some studs at the QB position, and Taylor is nothing other than a great athlete playing qb. It's the age old question. Would you rather have Peyton, Marino, or Farve? Answer is easy, take the winner, Farve. Doesn't mean he's the best, just means he's is a winner. I've got great news for you boys, Tommy Armstrong is a winner, and he'll start more than one game in 13. You heard it here first. This kid is a winner and he'll take NU to the next level. Book it. GBR I think you'd be surprised that the answer would vary quite a bit based on individual opinion.

Walk-on O-linemen are great. We need the bodies and this kid looks like he's got great size.

We stopped recruiting Willis?

Please let us all know this "hell" you suffer because your wife is saving animal lives daily? Hey Hedley look how many poor defense less animals i killed, all shot well within the laws BTW. Yummy yummy How does if feel to have a thread hijaked. I've never snow goose hunted. But it sure looks like fun. Plus the damage these birds do up north during the summer because of exploded numbers makes hunting all the more beneficial.

Oh... So how do you change it? How do you persuade millions of Americans not to eat that way?

Why would we want to? We've bred and domesticated species into livestock for our benefit of consuming their products. To sustain life on this planet for a longer period of time. :-) I'll partly agree with you. Not that eating meat is wrong, but in the ways that it could be done could be more environmentally efficient.

I would agree that I would choose range fed over confined meat any day. But I'm not giving up meat, because someone thinks eating meat is wrong.

A great way to show you why exactly a person would be Vegan or vegetarian is to watch the documentary Vegucated. You can watch it on Netflix even. Best way to explain it to someone is that documentary I have found. Me personally, I absolutely love steak, chicken etc you name it. However the way in which the livestock we eat is punished and treated isn't humane and honestly makes me cringe. I have also found that when filling myself with plant based and whole grain meals I don't have the same crappy feeling I used to with a big steak. Other things such as the correlation between red meat consumption and cardiovascular disease and cancer were things I would prefer to try to avoid. That is just the tip of the iceberg but a little blip of vegan life :-D You know nothing about the livestock industry. I know animals are tortured and killed at slaughterhouses. I know industry standards are not where they need to be What kind of torture?... and killed? At a slaughterhouse? Noooooooo, couldn't be.

I don't find the notion that persons should not eat meat to be ridiculous at all. You don't need to kill and eat animals to survive or live a long and healthy life. You eat them because society finds it acceptable as a whole and you were raised eating it. This is more of a morality issue for you then.
