To people who think Tmart is the problem. Show me the point that the other QBs for NU this season have been better. Its easy to point at the QB with the ball. The oline hasnt been pulling there weight. How about instead of focusing on the back field for recruiting. We focus on Oline recruiting. Cause lets face it. You can put anyone in the back field but without blocking they dont stand a chance.
You're right that no one can do it without blocking, but everything else I disagree with.
The best example of Martinez's issues come from the B12 Championship. Continuing to eat sacks when you can throw the ball out of bounds. Not what you expect from a starter at the end of the season. If he isn't running untouched for 25+, he's pedestrian. Can't build a team around that.
Right. Throw it out of bounds when you're in the pocket and enveloped by d-lineman because your o-line just touches them and lets them through. That's just as good as a sack, because it's intentional grounding. We saw what happens when he does get rid of it in the Oklahoma game. Pick, in the endzone. A sack is much better than a pick. He can play much better, but the sacks are not completely on him. Problem is, everyone around here proclaimed him as their Messiah when he went off against Washington and K-State, then when they come crashing back to reality, he's the worst quarterback ever. Jesus people, there's a happy medium.
