What If?

Here would be my question if he starts: does Cody Green redshirt, transfer, or move to another position?

Tough call. I don't see him transferring especially if it's a close race, but I also don't see anybody but Lee becoming the starter.

[Lil' Red]

I think it will kind of be interesting how much our offense is different if T-Mart starts. It creates a new dynamic to our offense and forces the defense to pay attention to the him. I still think Lee will be the starter but if it is T-Mart I'll be excited to see how different our offense is.

[n.e.husker]

I'd support Taylor and the rest of out team.

 

I trust our coaching staff to make the right choice for the team.

What if T-Mart really does start? .... What will your expectaions be for Martinez for the first few games of the season?

 

If T-Mart actually gets the nod, I think there would be growing pains, but these growing pains would be vastly overshadowed by his mad skillz as a primetime playmaker. The growing pains would be an INT here and there, and learning to manage the game properly. But, I think he would provide a huge boost to our chances of getting in the endzone, instead of settling for the field goal.

 

My expectations for him for the first few games would be the following (provided he starts and plays at least 3 qtrs each game:

 

vs WKU - 40+ points

vs Idaho - 35+ points

vs Washington - 21+ points

vs SDSU - 40+ points

I think even if T-Mart doesn't start we could still use him in specialty situations like around the goal line.

Off topic: What a pathetic schedule.

 

Carry on.

 

Oh, I'd really like to have a primary QB in place for these games so that he will have lots of reps and a chance to be sharp when the real season begins.

Or settling for 10,000 "3 & outs" like last year.

But on the upside we got to see Alex Henrey at least 5 times a game. Go Zac!!!

[AndyDufresne]

How much better does our offense really need to be? Last year, 3 points against Iowa State and 2 more against both Texas and Virginia Tech would have gotten us to 11-1, a Big XII championship, and a BCS bowl.

 

If our defense is close to being as good as last year, I would prefer a healthy Zac Lee as the starter with some T-magic packages thrown in.

[kansas husker]

These qb threads are getting old. If T mart is named the stater people will second guess the cal due to being wet behind the ears. If it its Lee or Green people will bring up the play of last year. It usc pretty much a moot point we will find out in 10 days

[EZ-E]

Zac Lee is really in a tough situation. If he starts (which he will) and makes a mistake here or there people are going to be calling for Martinez or Green. If Martinez gets the call, people will allow him to make "freshmen" mistakes and be patient with him. It is the nature of fans. The back-up is always better.

 

To answer your question, I dont care if TMart starts if he is the best guy for the job.

[mnhusker]

So what if T-mart: First he better win but I'd be excited to know that at QB we are getting to a point when we can bring in a new QB with enough talent to come in a play at a high level. I want to see us have QB's in waiting that can take over and play at a high level.Of course getting the entire offense tuned up will help a new QB also. Breaking in a new QB should not mean you have to lose games (perhaps win some ugly) strong progarms are able to conitinue as strog programs as players come and go.

[M I K E]

With all this discussion about who's going to start, I think it's obvious that we just need to utilize a five quarterback system:

 

What if we use Taylor Martinez on first downs, Cody Green on second downs, Zac Lee on third downs, and Ron Kellogg III on fourth downs. (Latravis Washington can come in on any play he feels like participating in.)

[cscott2win]

I'm just hoping that the guy picked does really well. I sure don't want to see last year's offense repeated even though there was plenty of problems in all fazes from the play calls to the waterboy! A good line and some dangerous receivers can make an average "Joe" look pretty good.
