Adrian Martinez

Calm down, dude. You didn't answer my question and I didn't slam anyone. I was asking a question that didn't get answered.

The reason I was asking the question was because the other guy was arguing that since we wanted these quarterbacks, that's proof that we're not getting "leftovers" on the recruiting trail. All I was trying to get at is that that doesn't leave room for understanding that our wanted targets change and downgrade as our ability to recruit top talent gets less and less doable.

You did slam him.  Basically saying the only reason we took him was because we have been bad recently.

Our wanted targets change and downgrade??  

Coach - "Well guys, we haven't done good lately so I really want us to go after a mediocre QB prospect so we make sure we continue to stink".  Makes a ton of sense ... smh

First of all I didn't say that at all, I asked a question about whether or not we think that's true. I did say he probably wouldn't be a Husker commit if we were winning a lot more, which I think is true, but I fail to see how that's a SLAM.

Landry Jones wasn't as good of a quarterback as Baker Mayfield, Kyler Murray or Jalen Hurts after him. Wow, I slammed Landry Jones so hard. I feel bad for slamming that kid.

It's more, "Well guys, we haven't done good lately so we have to adjust our strategy a bit because some of these top guys we'd love to  have just aren't interested in coming here. What's the best prospect we can realistically get?"

Do you not think that recruiting strategy changes based on the coaching staff's perception of who they're going to get?

Go boot up NCAA14, start a franchise with Kansas, and sell out all your recruiting energy on the absolute top talent that's out there.

I think Adrian Martinez is going to have a very good year. Maybe even a great year. 

It will really, really help if one of the tailbacks emerges as a star, and another emerges as a change of pace RB.

I think the receiver group, while not much returning production, will be a strength and really help AM out this year.  Combine that with a RB rotation that puts up 150 per game and I have no doubt that AM will do well with that production and talent around him.  Turnovers and getting off first and second reads will determine how successful AM is (game manager vs all-league QB) 

 
They need to start blowing plays dead anytime Adrian is running without securing the ball. (Or anyone else for that matter.)

Yes and add to it anytime a backward pass is thrown.

Then require Verduzco and the QB to run stadium stairs while holding hands  :cheers

Count me in the camp as being really excited for Adrian this year. I think he finally has confidence in his teammates and in himself. I understand Frost was trying to create competition by splitting reps with McCaffery last year but ultimately I think it hurt Adrians confidence and he played not to make mistakes. Ultimately I think him knowing he’s the man will be good for him and the rest of the offense. Also hopefully he will feel more comfortable playing at a more natural weight for him. I look forward to him breaking some big runs this year! Now pass that kool-aid!
