Cool story, thanks for stopping by.Dumpster fire. Too bad Tre Neal completely wasted his sr season. Riding the pine at 5-0 would be WAY better than this experience.
I didn't say he did.
My guess is the poster who said that is confusing his fr. and soph. year.

Ma’am, please don’t disrespect the Royals with your idiotic comments.Sorry, and yes..... that was intended for @ru4nu2win
And yes, he is confusing TF's sophomore year with his freshman year. Which is kind of surprising, since ru4nu2win is the greatest message board poster qb coach of all time. That is, unless I am completely wrong....and he actually is just a dipshit that has no clue what the F he is even talking about.

Judging from Neal's poor play thus far, hes probably wishing the he was back in the little boy conference.Maybe Tre Neal wanted exposure in a big boy conference, instead of playing in front of fewer people than my son does on Friday nights.
Probably the same reason Scott Frost came back to NU.
They are just plain ignorant . 1st off to the OP who should we start in his place that gives us a better shot to win? 2nd the guy is a true Freshman, didn't play his Senior year of highschool he is going to make mistakes. 3rd He has almost 1,000 yards in offense and 5 TDs in 3 games and 3 quarters. If you think he is the problem on this team you have blinders on.Threads like this are not helpful. Even with the game out of hand the kid continues to fight. I'll take that.
His Fresh Year Frazier had a total of 1400 yards. 17 TDs Martinez is already at around 1,000 and 5 td basically only played 4 games. Plus missed the last quarter of the CU game.http://www.sportsonearth.com/article/156583514/best-true-freshman-quarterback-seasons
Will Adrian Martinez make this list?, I think not!
You’re absolutely right. I didn’t realize how much AM sucks. Thanks for posting this.http://www.sportsonearth.com/article/156583514/best-true-freshman-quarterback-seasons

That is cool. Lots of people will agree with you. Heck someone earlier said he would be a heisman contender and that I was drunk.. lol..
Martinez will never even be first team all Big Ten. There is more to being a QB than just being an athlete. 0-4 as a starter, and he has shown consistency all right, that he doesn't come through when it is needed.
Everytime there is that moment where winners step up to the challenge, Adrian doesn't seem to get there.. maybe it is not his fault, maybe I should still be making excuses for him, but hey, it's all good. Martinez will be a superstar and all..
There's no cure for stupid.You’re absolutely right. I didn’t realize how much AM sucks. Thanks for posting this.
BTW, your posts in this thread a day later still suck. I thought maybe you were drinking, but I don’t think that excuse holds water anymore.
You sound bitter. The only exposure he's getting is complete embarrassment in a corn field....just sayin'. Enjoy watching our bowl game this year, again. Troy stateMaybe Tre Neal wanted exposure in a big boy conference, instead of playing in front of fewer people than my son does on Friday nights.

I'll give you a like for the effort there, but Too Fast For Love was one of the better albums he wrote imo.Dude do you even Too Fast For Love? Of course you don't! The real Nikki Sixx won't even touch it. (TFFL first Motley Crue record).. Think of this year as Adrian's Too Fast For Love. Hopefully at some point this year, but most likely next spring, the offense and decision making for Adrian will click. Just like Nikki Sixx didn't debut out the gate with Looks That Kill, Shout At the Devil, Dr. Feelgood etc.. Heck, there are 10 songs on that first Motley joint and if you ask me Sixx went 0-10 his first time out. Did you throw him under the bus tho and ride for Poison? No! You stuck to him cuz you knew Girls Girls Girls was around the corner. Give Martinez time.. he'll lock it in and bring us Home Sweet Home just like the real Nikki Sixx did.
Lighting up that third string defense!

It's not that Adrian has to get a lot better. His athletic skills are already off the chart, and everybody can see that. Sure he can clean up some things, but that is not what I'm talking about.
There is a certain personality type that is needed at qb. I think most people realize that your season is largely predicated on how good of a qb you have, and it's even more important in this offense. This should be your clue right there.
I asked a psychologist friend of mine (not from the US, not a sports person) to look at an interview, and the response I got was: "That person is a sanguine personality type, laid back, makes peace with others, not a sporting type." (i.e. not a competition based personality type)
It's not that Martinez is horrible per the original poster, it's that he doesn't have the right personality type. As everyone has already said, look at his stats.. they are already excellent. There isn't much to fix there. For whatever reason though, the important stats on the scoreboard doesn't reflect that.
Now contrast this with someone like Scott Frost.. a good, but not great athlete. Scott was a great QB because he is such a competitor that he will find ways to win and find ways to make his own breaks on the field.
I"m sure Adrian will get more experience and have some success here, but I am more skeptical of long term success because of this. TG was a vastly more fiery competitor who didn't have Adrian's natural talents, and now I wonder what things could have been.

As well as Martinez played yesterday he could’ve had 3 to 4 interceptions if Wisconsin’s defensive backs could simply hold onto the ball. Just trying to be realistic and I like the future for our quarterback.
Martinez is a gamer!!
Nope, if that happened Wisky would have had about 7 sacks last night. A Mart made some plays with his legs.TRISTAN GEBBIA!!!!
Not sure what to make of this.I think a lot of you guys are mad because he is right. Martinez may be a great athlete, but he isn't a leader, certainly not the kind of leader this team needs. He needs to take charge of things out there, and hold guys accountable, and he isn't doing that. I think Adrian is a nice guy and all, but I'm not sure I would play for him.
Yeah I agree. There were a few times he left the pocket when he didn't need to and ended up getting himself in trouble more than anything.Freshman decision making. There were times when he abandoned the pocket too soon and ended up throwing on the run. Stay a few seconds longer and he may have hit the open man. When he had protection he did very well finding a man and delivering the ball.
Yards are not important, points are. It's the scoreboard stupid.
Wisky loaded the box early, making Martinez beat them with his arm. Penalties and lack of calls against Wisky led to a 20-3 halftime deficit. The short passes are part of Frost run game, took advantage of their weak secondary as the game went on.I like Martinez and I'm excited about his career at NU. At the same time, I'm not sure it's a good idea to just empty the backfield right from the get-go and rely on Martinez to make every single play. Not trying to be run-the-damn-ball guy, but I think you at least have to keep the defense honest if you want to avoid getting Martinez beaten to a pulp.
Lee went to the NFL, not sure you understand how things work. When a player declares for the NFL draft and gets drafted and signs a contract, he is not allowed to go back and play college football. Therefore Frost would not be able to play him, and if anyone thinks we would have won a game yet with Riley you are sadly mistaken. Every team we have played so far is considerably better than the Minny team we got destroyed by at the end of last year. Things were not getting better under Riley, only worse.If I wanted turnovers by the qb we could have stuck with the experienced leader, Tanner Lee. He would have won some games at least
We will sit this one out. Have fun watching us in Playoffs in a few years. You know that thing you can never attain.You sound bitter. The only exposure he's getting is complete embarrassment in a corn field....just sayin'. Enjoy watching our bowl game this year, again. Troy state

Some remarks by so called fans are just unbelievable!Threads like this are not helpful. Even with the game out of hand the kid continues to fight. I'll take that.
Not sure this is legal. But if we are picking players from other teams to start why not Cam Newton. Aim high buddy!TRISTAN GEBBIA!!!!
It must really suck now looking up at and envying both UCF and Iowa. Good luck with Bethune Cookman.The thing about UCF is that they aren't even original. Iowa was the first to claim they were National Champions while the rest of the country didn't even notice or even laughed at them for it.

I don't think any Husker fan envys either. Why would we? One is a perennial 7 win team with little brother syndrome and the other is a commuter college in a conference no one has heard of. If we were going to envy someone it would be a program like OSU or Alabama that is currently what we want to be. As for me, personally, I have never been so envious of another team that I have visited their message board. You?It must really suck now looking up at and envying both UCF and Iowa.
