Haspula Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Jamal Turner was hungry all night. That kid is raw talent we need a QB that can make the passes. Kenny Bell too Quote Link to comment
beanman Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Why the hell don't we put in Carnes with 5 minutes left? Would it really hurt at that point? Quote Link to comment
Blaze991 Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Martinez has an extremely poor record against top-tier defenses. Look at how he played against Oklahoma in the Big 12 championship game. Look at tonight's performance. Before NU can beat top-tier teams, Taylor Martinez will need to become a better decision maker and passer. I doubt it'll ever happen. In addition, I think Taylor Martinez is a relatively poor leader on this field. I say put in Carnes. While Carnes might not be as ready and able as Taylor, I think he has a lot more potential. We should prepare for the future. Right now, we have an incredibly talented, young receiving corps. Bell, Turner, and Enunwa are championship-caliber assets, and we should get a QB who can utilize them, while not throwing INT's. By doing this, we won't have as strong of a running attack, but I think we gain more than we lose. Quote Link to comment

Yeah, they are great, but against a majority of below average teams. Quote Link to comment

He just doesn't have the arm strength to throw near coverage. And he misses a lot of wide open receivers. His second and third targets just stand there waving, wide open. Quote Link to comment
Hammerhead Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 For a second there, I thought somebody actually started this thread tonight. Thankfully, reading the date on the posts on the first page prevented me from punting the nearest animal within range of my foot. Quote Link to comment
