see the 2:40 markI don't care if you don't like Taylor, but this is pure speculation. Until players start coming out and saying they didn't like him, then why bring this up? This was beat to death a couple years ago when the line was blocking poorly. Until players come forward and say Taylor wasn't a leader, or a bad influence in the locker room, or a poor teammate, don't bring it up. It's pointless. Why was Martinez even brought up in this forum? He's spent his four years of eligibility, and this thread pertains to next years roster.I didn't even read any of that because I was using QBR, not rating. I think that's pretty evident if you look further than what you want to see.So much wrong in one post.You really want to open that can of worms? How many turnovers did Taylor have as a freshman, sophomore, junior? Huh? I'm scared of what kind of decision maker he was if Tommy made "a lot". Taylor made a f#*k ton then. But, wait, Taylor was fast and he turned games around - Oh really? Taylor's frosh yr was a 70 QB rating, then it was 60 as a soph, then 70 again as a jr then 45 as a sr. Tommy Armstrong pretty much just had a similar year to T-Magic as a soph, but he was a frosh. Oh and not to mention, Taylor knew he was the #1 guy and it was his team. Tommy didn't know until after the season started.
And the next QB being either Armstrong or Stanton, whoever wins the job, will at least win a conference championship.
Martinez QB Rating:
2010: 138.8
2011: 126.5 - Coincided with the move to the B1G and still recovering from his injury
2012: 141.6
2013: 140.0
TA was 124.3
Interceptions:
2010: 7 on 196 attempts
2011: 8 on 288 attempts
2012: 12 on 368 attempts
2013: 2 on 110 attempts
TA had 8 INTs on 131 attempts.
Completion percentage:
2010: 59.2
2011: 56.2
2012: 62.0
2013: 62.7
TA had a 52% completion percentage
Taylor was a special player, if he had a decent defense backing him up we easily win the 2012 CCG, and would have had a chance to play for a natty (it was defensive failures that cost us games over the past 4 years and not the offense unless we are talking about games Taylor didn't play in like the loss to Iowa and Mich St).
If Armstrong wins anything it will be because of the much improved defense.
Edited to add completion percentage, I knew I forgot something.
Furthermore, why don't you try posting Taylor's total fumbles as well? And how many drives that f'd up? Might've not been a turnover, but it certainly f'd us numerous times.
You don't find it odd how much support Tommy got from the team as opposed to Taylor?
I didn't say Taylor was bad nor did I say Tommy was better, I just said we will win more games WITH WHOEVER THE NEXT QB is - because team chemistry is pretty damn important and so is leadership.
Oh and there is a fun story about Taylor overriding too many plays and getting us into worse positions.
