I'm just talking about the overall results. Martinez makes so many personal mistakes when games are tight it just becomes an impediment. Mickey Joseph was an impressive option QB. Put him in a big game he looked mediocre. Hell, Solich couldn't even talk during big games because of some anxiety issue. Some people perform flawlessly under pressure, others do not. So far Martinez has fallen short every time. It's become a trend.
Your observation is noted. So far Martinez is receiving accolades and awards. But after 9 games nobody can say that he has ever come through at crunch time or in the clutch, or that he has single handedly pulled a game out of the fire with great heroics.
If AM stays through his junior season he'll have about 30 more games to prove himself a champion. But keep in mind, to win championships AM will need a very capable supporting cast.
9 down and 30 to go.
We shall see
Note: Regardless of how many championships he wins, AM is an exceptional talent. It's fun to watch him play, and I very am glad he is our QB, and not Iowa's.
