Well, none of us expected Taylor's career to end this way, especially with all the expectations for him this year.

 

But I think it is best to move on. We have a potential star QB in TA. He seems to be the guy for this year most definitely.

 

Tough break for Martinez, but I believe he wanted out of the limelight. He is a little awkward, and I think it showed with his play and the communication with his teammates. TA just seems to be a better fit. Wish the best for Taylor though.

Figured.

I hate a career ending in such a way, but if even Bo is doubtful as to his return, that pretty much seals it.

 

Sucks.

I hope he can return to full health. He has done so much for this program, he deserves more.

If we are in a so so bowl that means nothing and Martinez is close to 100%, you let him ride (play) it out whether that be to the NFL wherever he could fit, or as a graduate at UNL.

If true, that's not how you want your Sr. year go down.

 

I still have a suspicion that injuries are being used to avoid the embarrassment/heat of benching a 4th year starter. We may never know.

Agreed. At least if he could be healthy enough for a few snaps against Iowa.

I can't see how that would be true. What indication have we seen from Tommy that he is the better option when both are healthy?

[307husker]

Did he play in 50% of our games? What are the rules for medical "Redshirt" (not sure if that's the correct term)?

 

I think the Taylor as QB1 at Nebraska is over, but could he come back as a receiver? Realistically, that's the only place that he could play in the NFL.

Medical redshirt is available for those who play in less than 25% of the games, as a result of injury. Taylor already has played in 4 games. This is his last year at NU.

[ColoradoHusk]

If he has played his last snaps as a Husker, it was a very interesting career. His highs were so high, but his lows were very low. He will go down as one of the most polarizing Huskers ever. I just hope he gets a proper send-off on Senior Day, and there aren't any a-hole fans that ruin things.

[307husker]

Well, crap! Would be fun to watch his speed in a different position.

[NUance]

Damn! That's too bad. I was looking forward to T-Magic returning at some point, back at 100%.

[HUSKER 37]

After last Saturday, I'd like to see him (anyone?) fielding punts.

His playing days are basically over. He does deserve a nice send off because he basically gave up his body for the program. Maybe a job with BTN after he is gone replacing J leman?
