The really great ones had quick minds that matched or even exceeded their physical skills. IMHO, BigPete & AO are spot-on in their assessments. Martinez has a low ceiling (at QB) because he makes too many mental errors, doesn't see things. He is a skilled athlete and could be very good at several positions of need (Safety, Outside Linebacker, Flanker, etc.). Think about all the low passes that normally will go uncaught (today was an exception). Think about all the passes that were dropped because he hasn't learned how to slow the pass down for short range . . . those things kill an offense against good teams. I like the young man, but we risk much by having him at #1 QB. For 2019, overall, our best QB may be Vedral, followed by Luke M, then AM. In 2020, we may hopefully have more options (we would be an instant contender if we had a McKenzie type of QB). So let me get this right. Vedral went 0-2 as a starter, including one game where he was forced out with injury, yet he should have been the starter all season? Again, I agree Martinez needs to play with fewer mistakes, but the offense does well with him at QB, even as the team loses skill talent all around him. 2 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment

The fan support in College Park today was unbelievable. In trying to make the brand national, you hope Moos and Frost would figure out a way to come out east more often. That being said, the best possible bowl we could maybe hope for is the Pinstripe, so would be a true gift to have them in the area twice in a couple months. Quote Link to comment

It was great to see all the Husker fans at the game today. I think Frost and Moos will try to convince the Big Ten needs to do a better job of rotating teams across each other more. Who knows if that will do any good though. Quote Link to comment

Popular Post WyoHusker56 Posted November 24, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted November 24, 2019 I've learned that our fans and their "eye tests" can't tell the difference between a QB looking good in garbage time against a team whose will is crushed and competitive games. I've also learned fans will be forever obsessed with back ups regardless of if they can actually play better than starters. 16 4 3 Quote Link to comment
Hayseed Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 I learned that Martinez can pass poorly much of the game and still put up 47 points. 2 Quote Link to comment
Popular Post CornBread1 Posted November 24, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted November 24, 2019 I’ve been reading this board for many years now (at least 5) without an account but I finally caved and had to create one because I couldn’t hold my breath any longer. It is so mind boggling to me that after a 54-7 road win, and on their senior day, that some people on this site can and never will be satisfied no matter the outcome. Instead of nitpicking the play of players just be happy that our Skers finally played a complete football game for 4 quarters and dominated an opponent in all phases of the game. 9 3 Quote Link to comment
Landlord Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Doing well with simple play calls (designed qb runs, options, and passes designed where you are only looking at one receiver) in mopup time against 2nd/3rd string vanilla defense is... well, not as actually impressive as many seem to think. I feel like Adrian is gonna take a huge jump next season. Something is gonna click or re-click. 3 2 Quote Link to comment

The sad thing is, there are quite a few posters here that would prefer to see him do that someplace else. 3 Quote Link to comment
SFW Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 I learned that Maryland is god awful. And we have a lot of young talent. Quote Link to comment
HuskerPwr Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 I was impressed with the Maryland players helping our players up after tackles. Classy. Luke is a really talented runner and never seems to tire. I had a laugh when he was playing WR and picked Martinez up when he was knocked out of bounds. 2 Quote Link to comment
