EZ-E Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Nah. Just trying to end the conversation with you. Next time, try it with a "you're correct". Its not my fault you tried to make a know it all point about Taylor Martinez improving this year when he wasn't injured when in actuality that adds up to 35 minutes and 58 seconds of a sample size. "It's unfair to say that TMart wouldn't have shown improvement in this category this year when healthy in my opinion." Where did he say he improved based on a SSS? He said its unfair to say he WOULDN'T have improved if healthy the entire year. It's fine. Anyone actually reading the thread can tell I really didn't say anything outlandish from my standpoint. So next time NUPolo, try it with a "I disagree with your statement. When I tried to pick apart your comment it didn't work and I wasted my time. I may as well shoved my face into an entire crate of eggs." Quote Link to comment

He said its unfair to say he WOULDN'T have improved if healthy the entire year. He didn;t say it. He doesn't have to. he said "Taylor Martinez has improved on this year when he wasn't hurt" The only game he wasn't hurt was the first game. Nebraska had the ball for 35 minutes and 58 seconds. He played the whole time. Every other game he's played in, according to everyone, he's been hurt. And yes, its unfair to say he wouldn't have improved. But it's an unknowable thing, let alone a straw man argument. But he didn't say that. He tried to make a blanket statement, and I made a flip remark because that statement was stupid. Holy crap What post number are you referring to? Quote Link to comment
Saunders Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Turnovers is BS yes, but the fumble stat was legit. I looked it up several times. He led the nation 3 times(once he was tied with Klein @ K-State IIRC). So please provide your stats so I can see what you mean. I'll let you figure it out. Quote Link to comment

carlfense Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 The argument that Armstrong is only playing because Martinez is injured and Armstrong turned the ball over when Martinez would not have ignores the fact that Martinez led the NCAA each of the past three years in turnovers. Can we stop trotting this out now? Because it's a damned lie. Where did he rank? Also . . . even if he didn't lead the NCAA it would be pretty tough to argue with the core of the argument: Taylor Martinez turned the ball over a lot. I can't tell his ranking because I can't find an accurate list that lists total turnovers by player. You have to add up interceptions and fumbles separately. What I was able to find (with 2 minutes of googling) is that he has never led the nation in turnovers. What the original stat was supposed to be was that he led the nation in fumbles 3 years in a row, and that's not true either. Of course, none of this excuses Nebraska's lack of emphasis on holding onto the football. It's just a knock people use on Taylor to prop up Tommy... even though he's on pace to beat Taylor's turnovers as a frosh. At least on the fumbles side . . . looks like Martinez was worst in the nation in 2012 and 2010 . . . and tied for worst in the nation in 2011. Looks like the general gist of the point has some serious merit, right? Quote Link to comment

NUance Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 How did this thread get to 6 pages? Did we cover the firing of Frank Solich yet? If not, we might be able to hit ten pages. Quote Link to comment
