The Purdue game will determine a lot about who QB’s this team moving forward. AM will get the start however if he continues to short hop sideline passes and is tentative to run things will change.

I think he will need to lose two of the first four games before Scott will make a change. If he gets thru the first four games then I think Scott will stick with him thru all the rest of the season barring injury.
I’m looking forward to an improved swing pass
I have to assume they look great in practice.
I don't know if HCSF will do that based on the past two years. HCSF seems to think he can't win with anyone but Martinez. I think we would have done better [W-L] had Martinez been benched last season until he was 100%. At the least we would have a second QB with playing experience this season.
QB development is key IMO.
Now, if Martinez gets injured again, we may be in the same situation as the last two years. Not playing someone else [QB] puts us at risk again.
I hope he's 100% now. We need our best [healthy] QB playing to turn around our last 3 loosing seasons!

if am struggles in first half against purdue then no more excuses for am. luke, luke, luke or smothers brother. get the gloves off and try and find out what we have. young guys surprise and/or experience makes comebacks every year. we dont really know what we have at this point but myself, i am not ready to loose 5-7 games trying to find out again and again and again.
Many are expecting the Purdue game to be like an audition or test for AM. Let’s hope our coaches are smart enough to pick the best guy based on spring and fall camps.
I'm hoping that the extra depth at QB (and most other positions as well) will lead to some healthy competition in spring and fall camp, and also help open up the offense. As they say, "desire to excel with no fear of failure."
I felt like our lack of depth last year created a "fear to excel" (or just to take chances) which led to failure.

No. Everything I have ever heard about Scott Frost indicates that he is ultra-competitive. Ultra-competitive people will do whatever it takes to win.
Different eras. Most kids won't do that today. Too easy for them to move on.
I always find it interesting when the fans like to blame Martinez for our 5-7 season but when pressed to give reasons why our offense will be better they come up with all kinds of other deficiencies they think we will improve on.
Uhhh, where did I blame Martinez? He is part of the QB room I listed for a reason of optimism. I post reasons our offense will improve next year yet I'm being negative?! :O O:
Yes - too easy to move on ... I'm talking about being realistic to your skill set. I will give you Kelly Bryant as an example. Here's a kid - starter at Clemson until Trevor Lawrence showed up. Transferred to Missouri so he could play QB. Good for him - but Kelly Bryant is not going to play QB in the NFL. If he believes or is surrounded by people who believe that he will be playing in the NFL as a QB then they have a huge case of rose-colored-glasses.
Now if Kelly Bryant is satisfied with being a P5 starting QB and prepared to move on from that after graduation then great - more power to him. Not even sure if this is a possibility but - If he considered another position and had the athleticism and physical characteristics to move to another position that gave him greater odds of making the NFL then shouldn't he consider that (if the NFL is his ultimate primary goal)?
And yes - Bryant is at the combine as a QB but his draft grade is extremely low with a likely scenario of him being a free agent at best.
You make perfectly valid points, but I'm talking about being realistic about how realistic 18-23 years olds are. Most of them are not willing to play a position other than what they've probably played their whole life. I'd bet dollars to donuts that most skill position player who want to play at the next level want to get there playing the position they've played their whole life.
