They're gonna be shocked at the amount of throws he can't make & reads he can't make & accuracy he doesn't have.

I'm an AMart fan BTW! It's just true. Kurt Warner said as much after he took in his furst KSU practice with AMart there.
They gotta be trying a position change.

doesn't sound too promising for Adrian here in Detroit...

Coverage of Lions mini-camp by the Detroit New on Wednesday:

"The third-team offense, led by rookie Adrian Martinez, was a disaster. The dual-threat QB continues to hold on to the ball far too long, paired with some ill-advised ducks into the deep parts of the secondary, resulting in a pick for safety Brandon Joseph (and nearly a second)."

From Woodward Sports yesterday:

The Ugly: Rookie QB Adrian Martinez​

Adrian Martinez, the rookie quarterback from Kansas State, had a less than stellar day. Limited reps and a series of miscommunications with receivers led to a tough interception during situational drills. Martinez’s strong arm and athleticism isn’t able to catapult him ahead of second-string QB Nate Sudfeld, who has a much better rapport with the wide receivers (across the roster). He clearly needs more time to synchronize with the Lions’ offensive tempo. An obvious need from an UDFA in his first mini-camp.


USA Today Lionswire on Day 3


–Through OTAs and the first day of minicamp, there was some thought that UDFA Adrian Martinez might be able to challenge Nate Sudfeld for the No. 2 QB spot while third-round pick Hendon Hooker recovers from December ACL surgery. Anyone who watched Martinez routinely hold the ball too long and throw inaccurately any time he faced even token pressure would no longer hold that opinion.

Sudfeld wasn’t great, but he looked better on Wednesday than Tuesday. Aside from a grounder to a wide open Tom Kennedy in the end zone, Sudfeld got the ball out largely catchable and cleanly, and generally on time.

USA Today Lionswire on Day 2
–Sudfeld is developing a nasty habit of holding the ball a count too long in red zone drills. He doesn’t have the arm strength to be late releasing the throws, and the defense took advantage of that a few times in drills. Undrafted rookie QB Adrian Martinez does have that kind of arm, but he’s unleashed several wobblers in with his strikes.

MLive yesterday
-- Breakout edge rusher James Houston was working with the deep reserves at Wednesday’s session. And Houston took full advantage, with back-to-back would-be sacks on reserve quarterback Adrian Martinez.
