Adrian Martinez

It’s more than that.  
 

he holds the ball too long.  Toure, Manning and even Allen get great separation of the break.  If the QB had any timing he’d hit this guys all day long.  Instead he stares them down into coverage 2-3 seconds later.

Absolutely, and now you're getting into pre and post snap reads, and having the confidence to let it go.  But, throwing mechanics should be elementary.  When those are lacking, I'm not expecting much in these areas

I would imagine someone with a broken jaw wouldn't be able to wear a football helmet. The pressure from the helmet against the side of your head would certainly cause pressure and pain on your jaw, add in getting tackled? 

If this is some stage to allow us to move on in the QB position, I would have suggested sticking with the high ankle sprain that was from this game, and have AM watch some YouTube videos from wrestling schools on how to sell an injury. Let him ride off into the sunset with his 14-32 overall record as a starting QB without looking like he got benched in his final two games.

In the presser he was rubbing his face on both sides....Talked with out issue and didn't appear to have and mobility issues.  Perhaps there was a "crack"?  Unsure if "broken" is the same as I think of "broken".  Most of those end up with your jaw wired shut.

Martinez is a head case, but he is not the only issue.  The announcers stated that our tackles lead the big 10 in allowing pressure on the qb.   Martinez is 1 player who can not block for himself or kick fg.

This would be understandable in year 1.  But as I remember it the offensive line was significantly better in year 1.  Ozigbo rushed for over a thousand.   Martinez had what most people consider his best year.

Ozigbo is a huge reason for Martinez success in year one.  Stanley Morgan and Jack Stoll helped as well.

He wasn't the reason but he didn't help things again either. Holding on too long. Not throwing the ball away and taking sacks instead. Mixing up touch throws and throws that should be driven. SSDD...

He’s not a run threat on the zone read play.  I don’t even know why they waste that play call.  He rarely runs up field as the pocket collapses around him.  He did a few times in the second half and it worked well.
 

Manning and Toure are running wide open and he just doesn’t see them.  He’s not quick decisive enough to make the grow out of the break.

Toure’s second TD was a fluke.  He was running free and AM damn near blew it again by holding the ball too long.

There no doubt he’s running for his life, but there are things he could to help himself out and he just can’t get it done.  In general I doubt anyone gets concerned about getting beat by AMs arm.

Very true not the only problem but a very big problem. The two players on any football team that absolutely have to have their heads on straight are the QBs and the kickers we are lacking their, but O line might just need a new coach.
