Our snapping problem is easy to fix.....we jut need a taller QB!

We need to stick with Martinez because of his greater reach.

[3rd and long]

I know it goes against how this offense is set up....but until Jurgens gets this issue corrected, why doesn’t he just put the QB under center?

 

i know it changes a lot of things, but it also eliminates a huge glaring problem right out of the gate.

If Robinson doesn't make that catch, this thread most likely wouldn't exist...

If Martinez was the one throwing the pass, we would have  lost.  If you want to go there

It was pretty obvious that Martinez is the better QB. Congrats to Vedral for making plays in the clutch

Adrian made a few mistakes yesterday but I thought he played well overall. The rest of our offensive players dropped the ball (pun intended). The snaps that Noah didn’t catch confirm how big of an issue the snaps really are. Adrian likely would have caught those snaps (because he’s used to it) and made a play.

Just from what we’ve seen I don’t know how you can establish that. 

 

Just like those of us who have wanted for Vedral to get a series or two (but not because of an AM injury), he was (and really still is) an unknown commodity. We really don’t know which is the better QB, we just have to go with what the coaches decide. 

 

But nothing was obvious.

He's an unknown quantity to the fans. This is his 3rd year under Frost and he watches both players all week and offseason in practice. I think the coaches probably have a pretty feel for who should be the starter.

Start #7 he’s the best talent in the QB room.

 

AM doesn’t look like he’s enjoying football.

After he was injured he looked disinterested.  

He also shows no leadership on the field.

[UniversalMartin]

The problem with AM this year is his "get it vs make it" mindset is off. Meaning, he is overly concerned about making a play that he doesnt go and get what is there. Example:yesterday it was a 3rd and 4 (I think), he gets out of a little pressure and rolls right..there is a clear swath of land for him to run and get the 1st plus additional yardage, yet he floats looking for targets downfield and ultimately ends up throwing an incompletion.

 

Last year he would go out and get what was there which ultimately allowed him to make more opportunities as defenses had to step up and get him when he rolled out. Now he is so focused on making a play that he is not getting what is there.

Let's trade O-lines with OSU and see what happens. 

These excuses are tiresome.  Martinez is playing very poorly.  Yes, the O-Line is bad.    But so is Martinez.  Stop espousing a different narrative because it's a false one.

nevermind, wrong QB

That’s essential what I said. Vedral is still unknown and we have to go with who the coaches believe is best (even if some may disagree). 

 

But with one one of the two in fact being an unknown then there is no way to say it’s obvious (to a fan who has not in fact seen Vedral) who is better.  And if he’s basing it off Vedral’s limited action yesterday it’s even more incorrect. Because neither was “obviously”better or worse than the other.

Not that I disagree with your point, but Frost took the job in December 2017

He played as a freshman for Frost at UCF
