lo country Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 It's off season. Saw this video of every TD by Martinez. I tend to remember the "injured" Martinez instead of the healthy Martinez. After watching the videos, when healthy, that kid was an animal. Didn't realize he lowered his shoulder as much or could actually make cuts. And fast, real fast. After Mizzou, I do not think he was ever close to being 100%. Healthy, could have done so much more.......... 3 Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Wow, this gets me hot for football to begin. +1 T-Mart may have more great running highlights than any QB ever. Some of his plays are nothing short of miraculous. Like this one: Quote Link to comment
Husker Richard Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 I'll never forget when he went off against KSU and Washington. All he needed at the time was the slightest bit of daylight and he was gone. Probably the fastest player in CFB at the time. 1 Quote Link to comment
Landlord Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 I'd say at the very least Michael Vick still easily has him beat, but he nonetheless had a remarkable career here that will never be remembered with the respect it should. Quote Link to comment
The Dude Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 He runs about a 2.5 40 here. Astounding. 2 Quote Link to comment

GSG Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 My football itch is getting real serious, guys. Feels like I haven't bathed in weeks and have been rolling around in fiberglass insulation.... 2 Quote Link to comment

I thought, damn, this kid us the fastest player I have seen. Amazing. Quote Link to comment

I thought, damn, this kid us the fastest player I have seen. Amazing. Pre-injury it was effortless, like he was gliding. Everyone has their opinions of him as a QB understandably, but those first few games are something you look back in 20 years and say, "remember that kid T-Magic and his first few games?".

Moiraine Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Watching Martinez stuff now gives me a lot of "what could have been" feelings (especially about 2010) so I try to avoid it. Quote Link to comment
