Frost just said about Martinez

[Husker.Wed.]

When talking about the missed passes in the beginning of the game that Adrian is having some issues the fans don't know about and he is courageous just being out there (or something like that). I wonder if his jaw got busted or it is something else? Anyway, if your QB is not performing due to injury (or anything else), then maybe we should go next man up.

 

[redfanusa]

Supposedly Martinez had a boot or heavy wrap on one ankle during a fan pic earlier in the week.

That's not on AM. But it is absolutely on Scott Frost. If your guy can't go, you need to have the backup ready. No qualified backup? Again, that's all on the head coach.

 

[huskerbaseball13]

Martinez is hurt every year.

Yet, our moron for a HC is too lazy to find a viable backup

 

[Smokinthereiff]

Running QB is not a recipe for long term health in BIG. Just isn’t ans AMart getting ton of usage.

I agree if not healthy should be next man up.

 

[K_Y_E]

No more damn excuses. This team has talent and we shouldn’t be getting beat by Illinois and Minnesota.

Excuses, zzzzzzz.

 

[JOHNNY N]

If that's true then I appreciate his toughness and desire to play. It's on Frost to make a change if AM is hurting more than helping.

 

[rrthusker]

Frost has more excuses than a crooked politician. Tired of his excuse game after 4 failed years.

 

[cruelhalo]

Slight of hand pass the buck. Frost shit the bed.

 

[SickOfPractice]

We've witnessed this situation before, under several different coaches, and it continues to aggravate me. If QB #1 is hurt, or otherwise not on his game, QB #2 needs an opportunity to show his stuff.

Joe Ganz WHERE are you?! 😥

 

[NikkiSixx]

Scott wanted Minnesota to respect AM’s ability to scramble, which it sounds like he is limited in doing.

This reminds me of the other Martinez, when Taylor’s ankle was so screwed up he had to just stand back there and throw it.

We really should look for QBs that can throw first. Leave the running for running backs. The QB just has to make the right decisions quickly and distribute the ball.

I don’t care for Frosts excuses anymore.. he’s had 4 years to build a roster of his guys.

I have something brewing that I will write about tomorrow.

 

[Pennsyhusker]

Well this does not speak highly of Frost's trust in Smothers.

 

[John_J_Rambo]

Well this does not speak highly of Frost's trust in Smothers.

Smothers sucks

Haarberg is the only QB on the roster

 

[Child of the Corn]

Same ol' shit. Just more excuses.

 

[B1G RED RULES]

THIS!!!

 

[datdathusker]

Just more BS. Did he look hurt? He plays like shit every year then gets benched and some mystery injury pops up?

 

[Husker_AMG63]

We are all done with hearing what Adrian is "going through" Scott! This isn't some drama, soap opera, movie or feel good story.....this ain't freakin RUDY!!!!!

You have one job and that's to WIN and you have FAILED!

D.G.A.F.

It's always some BS excuse.

Why don't we have a #2 QB ready to go?

Seems like we have teams kick out ass about 4x a year with their #2/#3 QB.

Why don't we have another kicker ready to go if you believe Culp really has a hip flexor injury? Is there nobody on campus that can hit a PAT?

Time to turn the page.

snyder and northwestern old coach seems to allways have plain label qb's who could pass

 

[redwine65]

Well this does not speak highly of Frost's trust in Smothers.

well at least it stopped me wondering why we did'nt have martinez scramble.
from what lil I seen of smothers he did'nt look too bad passing

 

[JaySker402]

Smothers sucks

Haarberg is the only QB on the roster

Haarberg also sucks

 

[leodisflowers]

Haarberg also sucks

Does he? We know nothing about our backups and I actually liked what I saw from smothers at Mich st maybe kid is a winner

 

[JaySker402]

Adrian’s jaw is jacked up. He has some bands or something. I wouldn’t doubt if he had something wrong with his ankle either. There were very few designed runs for him today.

frost shit the bed by not really going after a quality backup last cycle. Adrian has gotten hurt 4 years in a row now.

 

[JaySker402]

If he was worth anything don’t you think he would have gotten time instead of masker?

you guys are basing your judgement off of him being average against our 4th string defense in the spring

 

[leodisflowers]

We know nothing. Literally. Masker at NW had more to do with not running it up. Until
A back up is inserted into real game situations we know nothing

 

[jteten]

Ugh. Trying to defend Martinez by suggesting he is hurt just further embarrasses Frost. Don’t care if he has a severed limb. If he is out there, he is supposed to perform. If he can’t, replace him. Somebody please fire Frost and save him from his own terrible press conferences. Shit is exhausting.

 

[NorthWillRiseAgain]

Frost would have been fine with Taylor calling his dad in the locker room.

But, on 3rd and goal from the 6 inch line AM was well enough to run into a massive pile of humanity, instead of using one of your 4 healthy RBs?

[BuckysBoys1]

Just more BS. Did he look hurt? He plays like shit every year then gets benched and some mystery injury pops up?

Did he ever run the ball?

 

[BuckysBoys1]

You mean the one who fell on the 1 yard line

 

[Baxter48]

Smothers sucks

Haarberg is the only QB on the roster

No

 

[TruHusker]

This shouldn't be about Adrian alone. I have heard constant complaining of not having RBs ready walk on WRs, no kickers and a lot of talk about how "young" our O linemen are. Think about it, the best O line in Frosts tenure was the one he inherited. He also had a very good WR in Stanley and a RB in Ozigbo.

So who has truly been "developed" since then? People can only use the "cupboard was bare" excuse so long. It's the HC and the assistants job to get players developed and ready to play. It seems to me, we are and have been severely lacking in those departments. After 4 years we have no backup we trust at QB or even someone who can kick an extra point? Something is seriously wrong somewhere.

 

[Mack In Motion]

Frost shit the bed by not going after a quality starter last cycle...

And the cycle prior. AM flat sucked that season also.

We could be in year 3 of an actual QB playing QB for us.

 

[beaglehusker]

Stfu Frost. You had plenty of time to get another QB and chose not to. AM should've been pulled at least twice. I've seen enough of Smothers to say he should've gotten a chance.

 

[datdathusker]

And the cycle prior. AM flat sucked that season also

I think AM having a decent/good true freshman season hurt recruiting. How do you recruit a good passing QB when you run so much? How do you convince a top tier recruit your going to unseat a true freshman starter ?And how to you convince a head coach to think there's a better option. A la Joe Burrow comment "you think he's better than what we got" but that 's on frost who can't tell between Martinez and Burrow. I.E chicken shit and chicken salad. Player evaluation is a under appreciated coaching skill.

We don't have another Joe Ganz wainting in the wings.

No shit. Stop with this secrecy bullshit. Just come out and say he is hurt and that you need to go with a backup. Then when you lose, people are going to understand.

Instead he wants to try to be sneaky and hide everything and when it goes tits up he just sounds like he is making excuses.

Absolutely braindead

If he's hurt, what's the backup plan?

It's entirely predictable he would be hurt.

He was hurt his whole senior year of high school.

And his freshman year here.

And his soph. year here

And his junior year here.

And apparently this season as well.

What's the plan?

 

[slwags]

Smothers sucks

Haarberg is the only QB on the roster

Masker got in a game before haarberg.
