Adrian Martinez

AM missing his whole Senior year in HS due to shoulder issues should have raised some flags.

Seriously? Guys tear something all the time and come back good as new. You grasping.

He gets beat up because we rely too much on him to run the ball, and give him swiss cheese for an offensive line. Armstrong never made it through a season unscathed and Taylor Martinez never did either.

I’ll say this, not in defense of AM per say, but as a commentary on Frost.  AM has not remained healthy for an entire season while at NU.  It was a concern many had mentioned on the board.  If the fans could see this, why did Frost and Co not work their butts off to develop, recruit or prepare a serviceable back up.  AM has a proven history of getting dinged up.  Was it 2019 that Luke, Noah and AM were all dinged up?

Who says Logan isn't serviceable? He did alright when he saw action this year. I can understand having a 4 year guy out there over a 1.5 year guy even if he's banged up. I also see the side of sitting him, but when you've gotta win games I'd probably go with the veteran too.

Frost and co.

Yep and there is no plan for a QB going forward maybe it's that no one wants to play for Frost, or it could be Frost is just bull headed about Martinez and will go down with the ship thinking Martinez is his golden national championship QB. Trev Albert's had to have known this when he brought back Frost, starting to look like bringing back Frost was more a financial decision than a football one

 
I have been critical of AM.  He is a problem, but not THEE problem.  There is enough blame to go around.  OL play, lack of that physical downhill runner, a receiver who goes after the ball, receivers who can run the correct routes, play calling to help an over matched OL, designed roll outs, 12/13 personnel in the red zone etc......We have a lot of issues.  I do think a better OC, OL and RB coach could greatly improve the talent we have.  Unsure who we get to coach receivers (Beckton?), but the poor route running has happened multiple times this year.  And for a team that can not afford mistakes, this is an area that can quickly help.  And recruit a RB who is a beast.

Stroud will almost certainly be on the first team all Big Ten at the end of the season, but off yesterday's performance I'd vote for Martinez as second team. He was the best, most effective, QB the Badgers have faced all season.

Don't tell that to some folks around here. If he doesn’t win the game by himself ala John Elway he deserves to be shown the door. He makes mistakes, turns the ball over more than you'd like, but he's an above average college QB.

Sometimes yes.  Other times?  No.

Having said that despite/other than the 2 interceptions yesterday he played a good game.
