Crouch Frazier Gill Frost Pick anybody. *rolls eyes* It's not funny or ridiculous to pick Martinez as one of the top QBs we've ever had. He wasn't surrounded by the talent and dominating lines that the QBs you listed had. Quote Link to comment

Gdowski could've been one of the all time greats if he had started more than one season imo. To many people forget he even played for us now. I've been guilty of that as well and I was a huge fan of his the one year he got to start. Quote Link to comment
krc1995 Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Top Running QB: Crouch Martinez - without the injuries, he's on top. Frazier Frost Lord Top Option QBs (Cdog mentioned Frost's ability to pitch at a perfect time) would be a different list: Frazier Gill Frost (first three are very close) Taylor Crouch Gill? My bad- I don't know how i missed it Quote Link to comment
grandpasknee Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 No Nate Mason? No Jeff Quinn? WTH????!!!! LOL For my money, the smoothest operator in the option world was Turner Gill He didn't run that often because he didn't have to. But I can clearly see him taking the snap, doing that quick half reverse spin, pausing just long enough to read the defense and for the backs to get in motion, then moving down the line of scrimmage, waiting till the perfect moment to pitch. Good lord he was smooth. Quote Link to comment
Bowfin Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Maybe we should check yards per carry? Gerry Gdowski: 7.97 yards per carry See what your #1 pick has. 1 Quote Link to comment
California Husker Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Is this best pure runner? Most explosive runner with big play ability? Best running QB? Best option QB? Anyway here's my list because this is for fun and the original question wasn't specific enough.1) Tommy Frazier (best option QB which made his already exceptional running skills almost impossible to stop) 2) Eric Crouch (speed kills) 3) Scott Frost (faster and with better moves than most people remember...mostly because he was running people over so much) 4) Turner Gill (in my eyes, the second best we ever had at running the option) 5) Keithen McCant (only started one full year but had more yards per carry than anyone above him on MY list) 6) Gerry Gdowski (just really freaking good.... 8.0 yards per carry? Wow) 7) Steve Taylor (so smooth) 8) Jamaal Lord (over 1,400 yards rushing his junior year...very underrated as others have said) 9) Tommy Armstrong (very good at running the spread, just wish he was a little faster) 10) Taylor Martinez (after the way he broke out in his freshman year I though he had a chance to be the best ever...was never the same after being bitten by the injury bug)Well there's my list and I wouldn't argue if someone says I should switch McCant and Gdowski...both very good runners. 1 Quote Link to comment
Count 'Bility Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Thanks for good ole laugh. Needed a good knee slapper this morning. Tmart #1. Good lord. Crouch Frazier Gill Frost Pick anybody. *rolls eyes* It's not funny or ridiculous to pick Martinez as one of the top QBs we've ever had. He wasn't surrounded by the talent and dominating lines that the QBs you listed had. Or good qb coaches. Seeing the hay Langs is making with Tommy, I really feel for Martinez. And Tommy.

NUance Posted October 10, 2016 Author Share Posted October 10, 2016 Four defenders in the backfield chasing him around, all the way back to our 6 yard line. And TMart takes it to the house. Show me a better QB scramble on a broken play. At any level—FBS, FCS, NFL, high school, Pop Warner, you name it. 2 Quote Link to comment
Joe_5700 Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Eric Crouch and it is not even debatable. I see no mentions of Steve Taylor. He was a very good runner and I would put Scott Frost above Frazier. Everyone remembers the run against Florida, but Frost also had some big runs and punished tacklers. Crouch Martinez (when he didn't fumble and was healthy) Frost Frazier Lord-Taylor 1 Quote Link to comment

Show me a better QB scramble on a broken play. At any levelFBS, FCS, NFL, high school, Pop Warner, you name it. Martinez was easily the most electric Nebraska QB of all time. This play is probably the most prime example of that but I guarantee no other husker QB has more runs of 75+ yards Quote Link to comment

Show me a better QB scramble on a broken play. At any level—FBS, FCS, NFL, high school, Pop Warner, you name it. I cannot for the life of me fathom why he gets so little credit. Gdowski is on people's lists but Martinez is low on people's lists because he got injured his freshman season. How does that make sense? The Wisconsin and UCLA runs and probably many others I'm forgetting happened after he was injured. 1 Quote Link to comment
