You basing this off of Mike Riley talking him up? I remember the great General Lee and POB!

Well, since they didn't push to get Vedral qualified for this season, you have to think that the coaches are pretty content with what we can put on the field at QB.  I would probably say that we actually have a 1a and 1b (and possibly a 1c).

OK.  But we also have seen them both run the offense to some extent.  So we do have actual QB play to base opinions off of.

I agree with you Mavric.  Both QBs did well at the Spring Game, but Martinez showed a burst and an extra gear that none of the other QBs have, and he could be the first dual threat QB has had in a long time that can run the ball but also pass the ball well.  Martinez and Armstrong were both great athletes but struggled in the passing game, and Lee had some nice mechanics but really struggled with INTs and could not run the ball at all. The one thing we have not seen from any of the QBs is judgment and the ability to make sound fast decisions under pressure in a real-game atmosphere.  In my mind this would be the only thing keeping Martinez from starting at this point as Gebbia seems cool as a cucumber.  But my vote is still on Martinez as the starter, as it was back in March a month before the Spring game.

 
I still wonder if Gebbia could end up getting the start over Martinez simply because he fits with the strengths of his teammates better. A lot of people think Gebbia is a better passer and Martinez is a better runner, right? Well, it's safe to say that the O-line was better at pass blocking than run blocking last year, and I while I'm sure they'll be better at it this year, they could still be a bit uneven there. And though we're doing a ton of speculation about RBs, I think we know with a greater degree of certainty that the WRs should be a strength of this offense this year. All of that could work in Gebbia's favor this year.

Right? Most people feel like Marlon Lucky never lived up to his hype, but they forget the 2007 season.

To be fair, everyone wants to forget the 2007 season.

Gebbia being a better passer seems to be an assumption based mostly off of his strengths in high school, and maybe a little off the spring game, and the fact Martinez is considered a dual threat QB. We've never really had a dual threat QB who could throw the ball well.

So apparently you're secretly one of the coaches, since you have all this inside information about Martinez being so much better than Gebbia? :dunno

Um what is going on in this topic? Did you quote the wrong post? BRB has been saying we don't have enough information to go on.

@Moiraine Brainfart, deleted. People need to knock it off with similar-looking red & white avatars and names that start with 'Big' and use of phrases like 'not even close/comparable'. :P
