His fumble numbers make more sense after I look at how many carries he’s had. Honestly, if he would protect the football better, it would be a no brainer for me. Like the game plan last week - let’s protect the football, let’s get Mo/JD/ Wandale the ball in space. Let’s try to eat up yards in QB run game - the QB that can do those 3 things the best will give us the best shot to win. Ya I think a lot of people are just relying on their eyes to judge AM this year. Now it hasn't been as pretty or as good as last year, but it's no where as bad as people want to make it seem. I do agree he needs to clean up the fumbles though because those negatively impact the game badly. 1 Quote Link to comment
BIG ERN Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 A lot of controversy for someone who was 2/9 passing with 1 INT against Bethune Cookman. 7 rushes for 13 yards 1 Quote Link to comment

AM is the more talented QB for sure, but sometimes the more talented guy, isn't the guy that gives you the best shot at winning. Martinez leads the conf in turnovers at this time, his passer rating is average at best and he hasn’t been a game changer in the running game. If Vedral can prove to run the offense efficiency this week, proves to be an asset in the running game, and shows he can protect the football - I hate to say it but that’s the guy who gives you the best chance of winning. Disclaimer: this is all assuming we see the above from Vedral this week, I’m not saying I think Vedral is a better option until I see him lead the offense for a entire game. Im all in until the other two prove me wrong. Quote Link to comment
Moiraine Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 My hope is Vedral plays the whole game, does well, then when Martinez comes back from injury something has clicked for him (like not taking the starting job for granted?) and he plays like last season. He spent all of last spring/summer/fall camp fighting for the starting job. Maybe that was part of what made him so good. 1 Quote Link to comment

Then they realize Martinez could use the same simplified but still robust offense to succeed. Also hope the snaps are in the same area code. Quote Link to comment
BoNeyard Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 this thread is the QB controversy thread, so with that, I hope after todays game there is a QB controversy because that means Vedral did at least enough for Nebraska to beat Minnesota. Quote Link to comment

FrantzHardySwag Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Good news boys, Martinez isn’t the problem. Bad news boys, literally everything else is the problem. 2 Quote Link to comment
Hayseed Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 No controversy....Vedral did nothing special. Also good choice to not play McCaffrey. Quote Link to comment
3rd and long Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 I thought Vedral played Ok, nothing special outside of the run early on. I still think AM is off this year from last, but this line......I’m not sure anyone can do anything behind it. 1 Quote Link to comment
