Thank you Zach Lee

T-Magic is a wild dog being let loose on the field, not a great football player. He's athletic enough to blow away competition not ready for his level of speed, but the best hunters are going to gun him down like he's nothing. Texas crushed that kid today. Lee came in and we saw a quarterback that if he'd had a chance to play a full game probably would have had us in position to win.

Well I managed three and a half thousand posts without getting banned for trolling, but since you're already up to twenty-five, I'll give this another shot.

How many games has Taylor won? 5/6

How many games has Taylor been benched? 2/6

Against one FCS team and one traditional power with an excellent defense, the coaching staff agrees with me. They took him out. In a third of his games this season, T-Magic has been pulled. Dispute the reasons all you like, but I saw a lot more bad play than dropped balls today.

Notice I never said start Lee. Notice I never said permanently bench Taylor. What I saw today was a top flight defense make our magician look silly, and they're not alone. Then I saw our veteran come in and move the ball with regularity and success. I extrapolate his performance backward and determine that he probably would have kept the game closer than the freshman.

Insane? Trolling? Give me a break.

Edit:

And while I'm at it, I see a very bright future for Martinez. I'm not commenting in any way on his future as a Husker. But the truth is simple. He's young, and pretty one-dimensional.

Did the guy with 25 posts just call the guy with over 3500 posts a troll and tell him to leave huskerboard?

 
I'm not disagreeing, but would like to add that when Lee came in, we moved away from constantly trying to run the zone read to some extent. That definitely helped us move the ball some since we were actually gaining yards on the ground (including the times we ran the zone read, when Lee actually made the correct call). We should have gone away from the constant zone read long before Martinez was pulled.

Good Point but I cant not call out the Troll like comment, 3500 comments or not that was a really bad post. Sorry I dont post every single day that must make my opinion not mean as much. Anyway T-mart is explosive and one of the best running QB's in the country and pulling him for third string Lee is dumb.

Since you played almost 1/2 the game I'm sure someone will find a way to blame the loss on you but.....

You came in with some poise and moved the ball when T-magic tinkled down his leg. 4th and 18 and you threw a TD.....oh, wait, should've been a TD.

Apparently when people drop passes and the line isn't able to open truck sized running holes T-magic is T-freshman. And I thought everything last year was your fault. Who knew?

Total and comnplete horsesh*t.

Z. Lee did the same thing Tmart did.....throw balls to wrs who dropped them. Your disgusting post is pathetic.

So what did he actually accomplish?? Zero points (gee, imagine that).

Wrong son.

T-freshman was pulled because he was looking rattled. He was making really bad reads. Both had passes dropped by Martinez put the ball on the carpet and couldn't make his reads in the run game. Watch the 3rd quarter again. He looked lost. Time to sit and watch.

Lee moved the ball on 2 drives. One ended in 3 points (not 0) which ties Martinez. The other would've had points but we were forced to go on 4th down. ...and he threw a TD pass to Kinney. (dropped).

I don't really care that Lee doesn't start. If he lost the job, then he lost the job. Martinez has way more upside but when not playing a team of cream puffs he looks like what he is. Young.

All of the Lee bashing last year was, in your words " total and complete horsesh*t."

If you don't think Zach looked better than Taylor today you must be high.

Sorry, I'm just not in a good mood.

Lee's "drive" was mostly the 30 yds in penalties. Big whoopie. A fg!! When down by 17. He ran just like he did last year....a crippled old lady. Tmart was NOT pissing down his leg (as you state). He just couldn't get anybody to catch his passes.

Anyway, the bottom line is the WCO for the umpteenth time got totally stuffed by a decent to good defense. I wish to God we would just get rid of it once and for all.

 
Martinez wasn't getting it done, how was it dumb to pull him? He's a redshirt frosh, he's going to have games where he struggles. That's just inexperience. And not only that, but most of the team around him was struggling, too. When that happens, it's time for a change just to see if a new QB can bring a different feel and spark something. And Lee did, to some extent, along with a change in play calling.

 
Fact is simple. When Taylor is in the game, the D will focus on stopping him. When Lee is in the game, they'll focus more on the RBs. Nobody is going to worry about the WRs much until they catch somthing (maybe they can catch a cold?).

Do I think Lee is better than Taylor, no not really. I do think in the big games Lee looks more composed. Also, I think with Lee in the game, they have to look at more options, which is opening up more options. If we just USED more options when Taylor was in the game we might be better off.

Lee will NEVER break an 80 yd TD run. He won't even throw more 80 yd TD passes than Taylor. But, if I had to drive the ball 80 yds down the field against a GOOD defense, I'd rather have Lee than Taylor. Who'd you rather have?

 
I'm going back to Husker x post.

I also never said Lee should be our starter from now in. I also believe in time T-mart will be amazing but Zazh Lee took way too much abuse last year for the same things that happened today.

He came in and looked good in his limited time. He deserves some credit.

Sorry but this is a BS post over somebody still crying for Lee. Taylor put balls in right on the money today and they were dropped just the same way Lee's were. He should have never been pulled. If he is the coaches choice as starting QB then let him ride it out.

Sorry but this is a BS post over somebody still "dizzturbed" about Lee. Taylor put some balls in right on the money today, and some of them sucked and they were dropped just the same way Lee's were (which were....all on the money I do believe). He should have been pulled, and was, not because of his throwing, but because of his poor decision making and ability to lead the offense down the field. His zone read game was lousy, straight out.

could not agree more

 
Anyone that thinks Lee should be playing over T-mart has no idea what it takes to win and frankly has no idea what the hell is going on and must be living in a different world.

 
I wish we could have seen Martinez with the offense earlier had they moved away from the zone read. Martinez wasn't reading it right, but Texas was also covering it well and I doubt he'd have picked up more than 3-5 per carry, just as Lee did for the most part. Had we moved away from the zone read and established a more "traditional" running game, maybe Martinez could have broken one once they had something else to look for other than zone read (because let's face it, they didn't have to worry about the pass, since we couldn't catch it if it went further than 5 yards).
