Tristan Gebbia

Yes, I understand that. But he's a redshirt freshman, not a redshirt junior. He still has a lot of time. And there's a strong chance he would have started at least one game this year. Maybe more. Maybe he would have ended up being the full-time starter. I understand that isn't the most likely scenario, but it isn't tinfoil stuff either.

Quarterbacks in running offenses get hurt all the time.

I get that but he still will behind the 8 ball when Martinez returns.  Why not go somewhere where you know you'll be the starter?

from everything i've heard, Martinez has been the better QB in practice and it wasn't even close. 

i'd imagine gebbia has had this planned for a while, but was just waiting for the official word before moving on.

I think martinez is going to be the real deal. my only concern now is if he goes down with an injury, and we have no scholarship QBs to backup

Interesting that you choose to post this now, after the fact, as opposed to the 4 weeks that the competition was underway. 

 
I'm not gonna beat around the bush.  This sucks.  It may very well end up being the difference between a 9 win season and a 6 win season if AM struggles or gets hurt.  I really think he will end up regretting this choice as the week goes on.  I can't fault him though, if leaving was in his best interest it had to happen quick for all of us and him.  He probably goes on and does some good things elsewhere, probably even better than what would have happened here.

But this sucks.  Please, just don't let it end up being like Ohio State that he ends up at.

Unless Urban Meyer is fired, then he isn’t going to want a QB like Gebbia. 

 
People need to cut the kid some slack.  He already burned his red shirt here last year and he loses another year if he waits to transfer.  

If it's true that the coaches viewed the competition as ending effectively in a tie with the tie breaker being Martinez's edge in the run game over Gebbia's edge in passing, he'd be a fool to stay. 

Good luck and happy trails to Gebbia.

 
Gebbia has done everything right. I tend to lean towards his thought process right now. 

I hope whoever he talks to can explain to him that he can still earn that job back here at NU. 

That being said, he is a competitor and if he chooses to leave I get it. I hope he doesnt but from everything I have read about him he is a great guy who has done everything asked of him and busted his butt.

Everyone says he is 1 injury away but he could also be a few good practices away from getting the job back.

 
I have no inside info, but I doubt he goes to Wisconsin. I'd imagine Nebraska would block him from going to any conference opponent. If I had to guess, I would think he goes back to a school in California.

He is going to go to a JUCO so he can get some playing experience this year.  If he goes to another D1 he has to sit this year.  That would mean he wouldn't have taken a game snap in 2 seasons and never in college.  He will go JUCO and I would guess have a very good year.

That's my whole point. We don't know that he would still be behind the eight ball. Neither has played in a real game before.

I will grant you that it is more likely Gebbia would be behind the eight ball, but it isn't a certainty.
