Frost’s QB Room

There’s a three-headed Husker quarterback battle brewing over the next several months. But Frost, a former signal-caller known for toughness in his playing days, will not be exposing Patrick O’Brien, Tristan Gebbia and Adrian Martinez to much contact this spring.

“No we usually keep the quarterbacks out of contact,” he said. “There’s a few times, once or twice in the spring, once or twice in the fall, we might make them live outside the pocket. For the most part we just need those guys to be learning and improving.”

It is funny you said this because I have always wondered how often they check out these sites.  I think it is human nature to "wonder" so they probably check and some might even make fake accounts and leak information or make up s#!t.  But clearly they, like anyone else, have lots of free time and so I am sure they check.  I am sure like most people they don't let it get in their head but still, I wonder how often they check out the threads.

I'm sure some players look around at times.

During the last several years, I've also seen several hints that the kind of stuff talked about on message boards really stuck in the craw of some previous staff members. Case in point:

Word is non of the QBs are really standing out so far.  All of them getting worked on to get the ball out faster.

I wouldn't expect them to after 4 practices, TBH.  A lot of new stuff being thrown at them all at once, by a whole new staff with different philosophies, and they are all on equal footing to start.  

 
If none of the QBs are standing out, it benefits Martinez the most at this point in the year. It means he's even with players who have been here awhile. Even though they haven't been in this offense, they should still have the advantage over a 17-18 year old.

I would tend to think just the opposite is true:   if Martinez is not standing out, then he is in the pack somewhere and when all other things are equal, experience gets the nod.  None of a lot of game experience but some have age, maturity, and lot more practice and film and football knowledge edges.  POB would have the lead therefore in a race amongst guys with roughly equivalent skills otherwise.  

But, nobody has any advantage on this team so far.  We're four practices into many to come, just to finish the spring.  Fall camp is where the seperation, if it happens at all, will come.   Injuries and so on have to be ironed out as well.

I think that's the case in the fall for sure. But Martinez should improve more than the others since he's brand new.
