Steven M. Sipple: Go ahead and disrespect Martinez, he's classier than us — classier than most (1 Viewer)

[Steveweiser316]

Let’s hear your best A2M insults…

 

[Bootleg11]

Seems like a good kid. No off field trouble that I can remember. Always faces the media after tough losses. Never throws anybody under the bus.

Not always a great decision maker with the ball.

Not great in a big spot.

Deserves some blame for the struggles of the last 4 years, but as not as much as he gets.

Absolutely has a ton of physical ability.

Maybe a different coach in the room he has more success.

 

[Kaladin]

It's easy to be classy when you lose as many games as he has.

He's a soldier though.

 

[Daddy]

I mean, Sip isn't wrong.

 

[Juro]

Never questioned his character. Always questioned the coaching he got.

 

[RedSavage]

This is correct. Unfortunately, he’s just not the qb for us. I really hope he transfers somewhere and balls out. As many times as I’ve screamed at my tv bc of him, the kid still deserves it.

 

[Havoc34]

Great person and teammate by all accounts. Except maybe being one of the leading voices on not playing in a bowl game. Put up wild numbers despite not always having the best talent or coaching around him. Was asked to put a lot on his shoulders, except he couldn’t handle it. Never felt he had a killer instinct or clutch factor. Made some great plays, but made too many really bad plays when it mattered most. All the turnovers are almost insurmountable in-terms of how it’s affected the team’s record. Proud he’s a Cornhusker, but the program is ready for a new QB.

Shatel described Adrian as "right guy at the wrong time". Which I think is a good way to describe him.

Had he come along to a program w stability among the coaching staff, stability on the OL, stability w RBs, stability w WRs... he probably would have been a 9-win a year guy. Problem was, he was initially going to Tennessee and he wasn't getting any of that there either.

The setup around was the worst possible thing for him. The most comfortable he ever looked ironically enough was his FR yr when Frost just basically plug-and-played the stability left over from Riley's regime around Adrian. The more Frost "built" his offense, the more unstable things got. Like the reverse Midas touch.

That you Mike?

Better QB…Adrian or Taylor Martinez?

Lol what?



“I like playing against road games” all day

 

[Baron Winnebago]

Taylor and it's not even a question. Coach Dad would agree too

 

[Ripping Lips]

Better QB…Adrian or Taylor Martinez?

Neither, Tommy Armstrong was better than both IMO.

It was down to us or Tennessee, mostly because big time programs backed off after he didn’t play a snap of football his SR year.

Maybe it was smart of most coaches to worry about a guy who needed surgery on his throwing shoulder

Wasn’t the question

I think it’s pretty close. You don’t think Adrian would’ve won the games that T Magic won?

 

[Ripping Lips]

Wasn’t the question

I'll say Adrian. Even though Taylor had better wheels, his mechanics sucked unlike Adrians.

Taylor was electric when he got loose. But even worse in the pocket than Adrian.

T Magic had better teams around him, and played in a division easier than the Big 10 West

True, but you got to remember that when Taylor came on the scene, he was one of the first dual threat QB's with crazy speed and no one could stop him. Once defenses figured out to stop him and he stubbed his toe or twisted an ankle, he wasn't as electric. But agree that he had a better supporting cast and receivers.

T-Magic. He was actually able to beat B1G teams. Off the top of my head he had two game winning 4 qtr drives against Mich State and Northwestern on the road in 2012 or something like that. T-Magic also had Ws against top 25 teams.
