Martinez QB Camp Update

Oooh, might we get to see beast mode a la Crouch?

I'm pretty hopeful about Taylor's future. I think combining a consistent offense, improved health, and a boatload of experience will prove him to be something like the QB everyone is hoping for. I just hope our defense can play above what it looks like on paper.

 
Yeah meaningless offseason hype!

That being said its pretty cool that he's taken the initiative to work on his game

 
Ditto for the Manning Passing Academy, a four-day, invite-only crash course in QB mechanics, tactics and leadership. Archie, Eli and Peyton Manning all generally appear at the event. That's three Super Bowl rings.

“It's going to be tremendous for him to be around other top quarterbacks and be around the Mannings,” Calhoun said. Price and Manuel will be there, too.

Or d-line will have it a bit easier this year as we're much deep and will be much better in the secondary. We should get some additional coverage sacks that we haven't really gotten since Suh was here with our all world DBs. I'm not saying we'll have a freak on the line like that but I'd bet that Camstache and Martin create more of them this coming year.

 
Glad to hear someone other than the coaching staff praising Taylor's improvements. I don't believe a word the coaches say anymore. I am taking the wait and see approach with Martinez. I really hope he is figuring it out though, this team's success is largely hinged on how much he has learned. I give the kid credit though, he is going out of his way to make himself better. He doesn't have to do it, but he is willing to put in the extra work and that impresses me. Now let's just see it pay off on the field this year. Burkhead can only carry the ball so many times and stay healthy. We also need to give somebody reps behind him, this is his senior year sad to say.

 
da skers,

I always like reading your posts, you lay it out with hope, not positive coach speak. Makes me feel that I may have a bad taste on this and that I am wrong, I sure hope so. Thanks for your posts, I look for them every time I get on this forum.

Still think Rex will be a huge, huge get for an NFL team. Kid gets no love anywhere outside NU fans.

Boy, Rex sure seemed to get a lot of love from all the national broadcasters last year, and has been hyped as one of the top Big 10 players to watch this season. He's even making some of the early Heisman Watch lists. Remains a legend in Texas. He's doing all right in the publicity department.

From what I am told Siesey is a first round pick.

The QB camps he's attending this spring and summer will increase his chances of playing Sundays dramatically. If his passing didn't improve any from last year there is just no way in hell that he'd catch on in the NFL. At QB anyway. But if he transforms himself into a serviceable passer he might--*MIGHT*--get a chance with an NFL team. Heck, if Timmy Tebo can have a successful career, then why not Taylor? OTOH, he could always jump over to the other side of the ball like Frost did. Martinez is athletic enough to do that. Probably.
