"Adrian Martinez has the potential to be the best QB to ever come through here" was the quote I believe by Frost?
His ego is getting in the way and it appears he will never admit that maybe he's not going to be that player.
He will play him to the end......imo.
I think Osborne May have made that comment. And who knows, before it’s over, AM might live up to that hype. I think there a few things helping prevent AM from reaching his potential.
1). He is not a true dual threat guy. He can run if he has a big hole, but he isn’t going to make anyone miss.
2). The O-line still can’t protect him very well or consistently.
3). There aren’t enough weapons for AM to throw to in the time the line typically gives him,
4). He may be “over coached”. As a freshman, he was more apt to play on his instincts. Now, he seems to be running calculus problems through his head. He is not an ideal QB for a team trying to rebuild. He would be better in an already established offense that he could be plugged into.
When I took a bar exam prep course, they told us there are three levels of learning. The first is you know enough to proceed with great confidence. Level two is where you realize how much there is you didn’t know, and now you’re confused. The third level is true understanding and mastery.
AM may be currently stuck at level two.
