Ric Flair Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Interesting read. His combine measurements will be fun to watch. If he's 100%, he should put up some good numbers. The specifics of a foot injury suffered by former Nebraska quarterback Taylor Martinez, who missed nine games of his senior season last fall, were detailed by his father and a North Carolina specialist Wednesday after months of ambiguity.The injury was diagnosed after the regular season by Dr. Mark Quist of Carolina Foot and Ankle as a "plantar plate tear of the second metatarsal phalangeal joint." His speed should not suffer as a result of the injury, Quist said. When healthy during his career, Martinez was among the fastest players in the college game. He rushed for 2,975 yards in 43 games with Nebraska. Casey Martinez said his son has trained at home in California after the Jan. 1 Gator Bowl. He's running and plans to start working soon with quarterbacks coach Steve Calhoun in preparation for Nebraska's March 6 pro day. Taylor Martinez hopes to get a shot to play quarterback in the NFL, though he's open to other positions, his father said. "We think he's going to be 100 percent," Casey Martinez said. "He's going to be amazing for March 6. He's going to shock some people." http://espn.go.com/nfl/draft2014/story/_/id/10333223/specifics-foot-injury-suffered-taylor-martinez-former-nebraska-cornhuskers-quarterback-revealed-doctor Quote Link to comment

benjibean1 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 HAHA he wants to be a QB. Just try to be a WR or S. No NFL team in their right mind will give this guy a shot at QB. 1 Quote Link to comment
It'sNotAFakeID Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 HAHA he wants to be a QB. Just try to be a WR or S. No NFL team in their right mind will give this guy a shot at QB. Perfect illustration of what knapp talks about. Notice how he said he wants to be a QB, but is open to other possibilities. But I'm guessing you just stopped after the first part. 4 Quote Link to comment

Saunders Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 HAHA he wants to be a QB. Just try to be a WR or S. No NFL team in their right mind will give this guy a shot at QB. If Tim Tebow can get a shot... Edit: Taylor Martinez hopes to get a shot to play quarterback in the NFL, though he's open to other positions, his father said. Nice dick comment tho Quote Link to comment
Abdullah the Butcher Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Slot receiver or kick returner? I can't see him at safety, just don't think he would strike fear into anyone. Quote Link to comment
Hooked on Huskers Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 tfree32 said: "plantar plate tear of the second metatarsal phalangeal joint." I believe metatarsal phalangeal joint is the same as Turf Toe. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turf_toe). If so, then blamed on FieldTurf. Is it too late to change from crappy FieldTurf to be a beautiful, soft surface and nice odor natural grass? Quote Link to comment
lo country Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Martinez, if 100%, could make a living on punt returns or KO. If he can catch the ball. They get a seam or lane set up, he is gone. Quote Link to comment
Flat Water Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Perhaps parties, doors, walls and such don't mix well with feet. Just saying. Quote Link to comment
HuskerNationNick Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I can see Taylor running a wildcat in the next level. Full time QB, I don't think so, but anything is possible I guess. WR, Safety or KR/PR would be a strong possibility for him. Quote Link to comment
suh_fan93 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 If Taylor could get his speed back I think he'd be a blast to watch returning kicks. Punts also. I don't know how his hands are though. I hope he gets healthy. Quote Link to comment

Benji says haha he "wants" to be a QB. Then you say " notice how he said he WANTS to be a QB". Then benji says " try to be a WR or a S". And you say " but is open to other possibilities". So what did benji miss exactly? You damn near quoted him word for word with your response. Not everyone thinks Taylor can be an NFL QB, it's okay to disagree man. 2 Quote Link to comment
