you can imagine his shock, knowing he's superior to Joe Burrow, that Christian McCaffrey's 16 year old brother just made him look a scrub.

What? McCaffrey may very well be the better qb, but he is a long way from being a good qb. He is a great offensive weapon for sure, but I am not sold that he is the better of the two. I actually think we are better offensively when we can get both of them on the field.
Yeah, I’m saying he is not a QB"we're actually much better when we have 2 QB's on the field"
- said no successful head coach past Pop Warner

I don't know why people think every time a starting QB sits on the bench for a while that he's immediately going to transfer. Here it is an earthshaking deal, yet it happens to other QB's who are having a rough time. Both Penn State and Michigan pulled their starting QB yesterday.
Now IF Frost is smart he'll find a way to put Martinez in the game while Luke is the QB just like it happened when the reverse was true. I think Martinez could have taken a few snaps at RB yesterday when the regular RB's weren't tearing up the field.
Where's the dislike button?What? McCaffrey may very well be the better qb, but he is a long way from being a good qb. He is a great offensive weapon for sure, but I am not sold that he is the better of the two. I actually think we are better offensively when we can get both of them on the field. Take out the 50 yard shovel pass and he was 12/20 for 100 yards and an int.

I hope 2AM sticks it out:
1) that’s a pretty good back up to have
2) the way Luke runs and given his frame could see him getting injured
3) I was called a “dumbass” yesterday for suggesting Luke is not a good passer. Haven’t seen him toss it beyond 12 yards yet
McCaffrey is a great athlete but there are definitely things to work on especially clock management and the passing game is still lacking badly. If Martinez transfers after one game as the second string it would be ridiculous.you can imagine his shock, knowing he's superior to Joe Burrow, that Christian McCaffrey's 16 year old brother just made him look a scrub.

It's change up and he could always be a threat to pass or flip the ball to someone else. It keeps the defense guessing.I just don’t see the need to put a slower RB with worse ball security on the field.
He's mature beyond his years. That said, IF I were him and had endured the crap he's taken from fans I would leave if I didn't think I could win the job back. Why be a backup on a team where the fans don't appreciate my effort when I could play at some nice warm place where nobody gives a sh## about football. If he sticks around and continues to fight for his job, that's great for us and says that his character is a lot higher than most of the posters on this message board.I think Martinez should be commended on how he handled himself during the game.
There were multiple times that he appeared engaged with the team, and cheered on his teammates.
Given he lost his starter position, he handled that graciously and better than I hoped for.
I agree that Luke has things to work on. The good part is that he's at the beginning of being the starter and hopefully will improve with each game experience. If, on the other hand, he doesn't grow then we still will be less than ideal at that position. He needs to be a better long ball passer.McCaffrey is a great athlete but there are definitely things to work on especially clock management and the passing game is still lacking badly.

Part of that IMO in the second half was just an attempt to shorten the game by Frost. They definitely tried to slow the offense down and use clock. It bit them in the ass that one time where we had to call timeout.Clock management wasn’t his fault yesterday it was SF fault for putting in personal in late and Penn St taking their time putting in their personal on the 2nd time out...
PSU has excellent talent at DB and we weren't exactly playing a bunch of seasoned NFL WRs. McCaffrey I thought did a good job of taking care of the football in the passing game. He had one TD pass thrown in to a tight window that was dropped by Kade Warner.McCaffrey is a great athlete but there are definitely things to work on especially clock management and the passing game is still lacking badly.

Agree completely. This isn’t over and Amart needs to be ready and very well may perform better and more relaxed coming off bench.What?

Ironically on the one play after a TV timeout Kade Warner was the one running on the field. Was it because he was trying to cover for a freshman WR who blew it or was he the one that didn't realize he needed to be on the field? Our WR coach is up in the box right? Having your WR coach also be your OC might be a problem when you're trying to play that many WRs.Not the first timeout coming from a TV timeout and the second, personal came in too late by the time Penn St Lollygagged to put in their personnel we had to call a time out.
If he doesn't have the arm strength/decision processing to be a complete QB. Maybe he should play slash and be a RB/QB. He is running with more confidence this year. He's got a strong build&good wheels.
What about Smothers? Will he wait basically four more years to possibly start?
I hope 2AM sticks it out:
1) that’s a pretty good back up to have
2) the way Luke runs and given his frame could see him getting injured
3) I was called a “dumbass” yesterday for suggesting Luke is not a good passer. Haven’t seen him toss it beyond 12 yards yet
Let’s be real if Luke doesn’t know the offense quite as much as Martinez would anyone expect Smothers to know the offense more than Luke..
This is not giving up on anyone, but from what I’ve seen, I hope it’s Smothers.Where does Smothers project, compared to Martinez and Luke? Who among the 3 has the higher ceiling?
In theory, all 3 of them could still be here in 2023...
This is not giving up on anyone, but from what I’ve seen, I hope it’s Smothers.
Typical “hope the next guy is better and more polished.”
Verduzco said he had a lot of work to do on his throwing, but that may have been focused on mechanics which might be a contributing factor in ruining AM (a la thinking too much)
I want a QB who can throw for 300 yds, 2-3 TDs, and run for 100 yds 1 TD on an average day. We’re sure not there yet.
