Here it is: The Holy Grail Of Information
I just got done reading this entire thread, and it's funny reading these posts when I actually know the answers. Wish I would have got on here two days ago when this parade got started. Anyway, about a month ago, Lincoln's Finest thought I was going a little too fast for my own good. Got into STOP class, and lo and behold, Will Compton is there too. Jackpot! So I sit next to him in the back, and over the next 4 hours asked him some various questions about life, football, etc, and the quarterback question was one of them. Here is his answer, direct from the horse's mouth:
On Martinez:
"Taylor has really improved this summer. He's just as quick as his freshman year, but his passes are more accurate, with more zip. The biggest difference is that he doesn't stare at the receiver before the throw. When he was a freshman, the linebackers used find the receiver he was staring at, and T-off on just that guy. We can't do that anymore."
On Tommy and Brion:
"Tommy's made huge progress, and he'll be real good for us someday. He's basically the same athlete as Brion, but he actually knows where to put the ball and when, like how to run the offense."
On what he does in the summers, besides practice and lifting:
"Fishing, dude. Love it. Just me and the lake, with no other worries."
I'm paraphrasing all of this, because I can't remember his exact wording, but your get the idea. Martinez is the guy, and always has been, with Armstrong as a close second, and Carnes slipping to third-string because he can't run the offense. I'll bet dollars to donuts we see Armstong cleaing it up in any of the first 4 games, assuming we have a commanding lead. I'll be very surpirsed if Carnes gets on the field all season.
