What did AM do to lose the team?

[BakNthday]

I have to believe that Frost knows what's up with AM this year, but his prescription for dealing with this seems to be just playing him regardless and hoping he gets better. It's not working, obviously.

To put it mildly, he stinks. What more can you say? Proof is on the field.

 

[Redleg]

At some point, all players must be graded on their performance in games, not on overall potential or lighting it up in practice.

 

[dparks]

OK! JMO, but the last 2 scoring drives were about as close as we have come to having last years AM. He threw decently and ran hard to get those TD's. JUST THOSE 2 DRIVES. He wasn't very sharp the rest of the game.

An upset win against Iowa will be needed to get to a bowl game.

I don’t know what you are smoking, but I want some!

This team isn’t winning any more games this year. You can take that to the bank.

Martinez and the rest of the offense didn't play well, but giving up an 80+ yard drive to a team with their 3rd string walk on quarterback isn't his fault.

The whole team stinks.

No. Martinez and the playcaller left at least 14 points on the field in the first quarter alone.

He wasn't very sharp

AM is not playing backup QB well Purdue third-string looked better

I got hammered pretty good for saying Vedral and McCaffrey are better options. Oh well. I would add Taylor-Britt, Robinson and Spielman to that list as better options after today. So he's sixth best on the team. Yeah, a couple of those might be Mickey Joseph types - but - that's better than this freakshow...

Martinez inability to throw accurate passes and fine WIDE OPEN receivers [AGAIN!] along with our Defense consistently MISSED tackles lost another game for us! WOW!

Chinander!!!? I thought we went back to the basics of tackling, etc!
Probably our third 4-8 season! :Thumbsdown2:

No but throwing an interception on the goal line is his fault. Over throwing, under throwing, and flat out not seeing wide open receivers is his fault. Not running when he has open space in front of him is his fault.

You are right, the whole team stinks from the HC to the practice squad walkons.

and you think it is fixed in two years?

Disagree with almost everything. Yes Robinson might get killed with the play calling. But this is directly on AM. If he can throw a swing pass this game is forever changed. If he can run for a first this game is forever changed. Something is wrong with the kid and he needs to sit until he or the coaches figure it out. Frost is too damn stubborn and demands AM is the guy. Just as much his fault.

Agree Frost has some tough decisions to make. Martinez didn’t forget how to play QB but he’s not helping anyone right now. He just seems so tentative this season from the first game. Has to be evident to the coaches I couldn’t agree more.

 

[YUENGLING]

When has frost ever been his own worst critic? And what did he learn from last season to follow it up with this crap burger?

Martinez not Frost.

 

[MadRat]

I would have liked to be wrong all along, but this turdfest started two years ago. Martinez was bad from the start. He never came in with winning intangibles.

Tommy Armstrong was a better leader at Nebraska.
