So NU didn't start the best QB last year?
great newspaper salesmenship. Discuss a quarterback controversy that the author suggests doesn't exist.
I hope every year there is a "controversy" meaning no job is a lock regardless of who recruited who. Open competition is great for the game.
Actually AM gets us 5-5 last year. Two of the losses he didn't play in. Vedral started both of those games.
Not sure who gets us what record. Didn't see AM aiming for the goalposts on some of those snaps. I think who ever starts benefits from a much improved and experienced offensive line. Far better read then the Sip rag IMO was the Greg Austin comments about the returning offensive line.
I never inferred that.My post was in response to the OP.
Blind eye says not. Hard for Frost to bench "his guy" with all the hype that went on concerning AM's "potential." Potential is for the newspapers and frosty mug conversations. Potential doesn't mean squat on the field.
Martinez will be the starter as long as he is healthy because he is, by a wide margin, the best QB on our roster. I bet he puts up some pretty good stats this season, too.
I don’t know anything about Smothers’ mental intangibles, like ability to rapidly process, mental edge, etc. But, if he has that, I wouldn’t be shocked if he overtakes Luke on the depth chart by next spring. His highlight tape sticks out big time.

You actually think Frost won't bench AM if he's not producing because of hype? That's ridiculous.
This doesn't even make sense. If at 75% he is better than the backups......what are you suggesting? That we play a backup and go 3-9? I know your response will be that we don't know for sure that we would have lost 2 more with another QB. Well stop suggesting that the 5-7 was on Martinez. I saw a lot of bad play last year by almost EVERY position group. A 100% Martinez can't overcome bad tackling, bad blocking, and poor play calling.
Stop bringing up the facts. Some people want to blame the whole season on Martinez.
A healthy QB should be taking snaps. Not an unhealthy one. How do we know a Vedral or McCaffrey with a couple more starts under their belt couldn't have improved?
We lived with Taylor Martinez playing less than 100%. How’d that turn out? We have a deep and stacked QB room. Every opportunity needs to be given to playing the entire playbook. AM is the most experienced QB we have and deserves the first opportunity to lead the team out of the tunnel against Purdue. But a less than 100% AM or anyone at QB limits the teams options.
So
Are you saying mcafee isn’t frosts guy? Cause last I checked frost recruited both of them.
Lmao who ran the last play of the game on offense and what did that guy do with the ball on the last play he had?
Good Ol‘ mcafee. I have high hopes for him.
