hunter49 Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 (edited) i just don't think running designed QB runs for primary rushing yards is smart. especially when you only have 1 QB with experience. as a former QB, Frost should understand this.

Why would Frost lean into this line of thought. He made hay and won championships as a running QB. Whats more I don't recall him missing time for injuries during his career either. 1 Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 I've seen a number of highlights from Taylor Martinez in the last week. It's amazing how fast he was. If he got in the open, he was gone and nobody was catching him. Which, I'm sure 2AM isn't quite as fast at Taylor. But, it's going to be interesting to see if he has that type of pull away speed if he gets in the open now that he's slimmed down. What's amazing about Taylor too is that many of those highlights were while he had an injured foot. 3 Quote Link to comment

Taylor was, well, Magic 4 Quote Link to comment

I was at the ksu game in Manhattan in 2010 when he ran wild for 200 and some odd yards and scored 4 TDs. It was quite the show. Most fun I ever had at an away game. Quote Link to comment

I was at the Washington game in Seattle....same thing. The Washington fans around us were just sitting and stewing because their defense couldn't do anything. Quote Link to comment

Still, Taylor's most epic run remains the 150 yard touchdown against Wisconsin in the Big 10 Championship game in 2012. He never was a juker. He just saw the seams. Someone should have taken a chance on him as a kick returner. 2 Quote Link to comment
