Honest question here… If the coaches determine Gebbia is the quarterback most qualified to get us wins, will many on here think they are stupid?
I don't believe anyone here will think the coaches are stupid. But I believe some here will be disappointed if Gebbia is chosen over Martinez.Honest question here… If the coaches determine Gebbia is the quarterback most qualified to get us wins, will many on here think they are stupid?
I want to believe you, but certain posters make me unsure...I don't believe anyone here will think the coaches are stupid. But I believe some here will be disappointed if Gebbia is chosen over Martinez.
Call BS all you want. I guess we will see once the season starts. We can revisit in a few weeks once things play out. There is still time for things to change but I'd say Martinez starts unless he gets hurt.

Based off of everything thing I have seen and heard. Martinez in the better runner. Gebbia the better passer. If one doesn't far surpass the other. I could see both being equally used this year.I would not count on Martinez being the starter! I get a kick out of people negating Gebbia especially based on the spring game. When talking to a couple of people who have a good idea what a college QB is supposed to be able to do both of them said if anything Gebbia should be a little ahead unless Frost based it on running ability only! I found that interesting!
Unfortunately I believe you are right. It’s honestly freaking sad too. Both Gebbia and Martinez have some hella talent, young and have a bright future. Why some are stuck on one over the other is almost sickening. Again, I’ll be happy with either one.

I get that... you’ve got some pretty strong opinions on this, and you and many others may be absolutely right.Some people just prefer a more mobile QB I think.

Was just curious if your guy isn’t picked how you would respond. I probably worded my question poorly... no one will consider the coaches stupid, shouldn’t have worded it that way.
FWIW, there were some player quotes earlier in camp saying that Martinez fairly regularly went to Gebbia to ask him questions about the offense....Frost has stated repeatedly that quick decision making is one of the most important qualities of his QB. We know what a film room junkie Gebbia is. We've heard that for 2 years now. Those facts make me think that Gebbia is going to have a leg up just from a knowledge of the offense standpoint. JMHO. It's going to be fun to watch no matter who the starter is because I think we're going to get to see all 3 get to play in the non-conference and I LOVE that.I'll probably just cheer for Nebraska to win like I have for the past 35 years. It's really that simple.
I'm a fan. That's about all the influence I have.
Besides. Mini pretend battles within the team gets me invested in the program. Game 1 is about Nebraska for me.

Gebbia is no running threat..saych..in this offense, the qb being able to make people miss is crucial....youb cant teach what AM has. Good coverage and Gebbia is useless.
New offense
IF you take Frost at his word, he said they will start adjusting the snaps this week. I think they have a pretty good idea who they are going to go with. I do not think they will be rotating or alternating anything. Once the decision is made, the only time they #2 or #3 will get in will be due to injury, ineffectiveness or blowout.
Because the coaches say the competition is close, that doesn't mean there isn't enough separation to name a starter. jmho
with both contenders being freshmen it will be interesting to see if both QBs stick around. because one of them will be spending most of their 4 years watching from the sideline with both of them being in the same class.But that Andrew Farthing kid be fast af

not sure i would advise either kid to stick around and be a backup for life.
thats what the coaches always say. but 4 years later the backup is usually still the backup and usually has played very little if at all.You’re always one play away from starting too..

If Gebbia wins i bet Martinez stays to try and beat him out - if martinez wins i bet its bye bye gebbers2 QBs in the same grade almost never both stay. If one emerges as the clear starter after this season/next spring, it's highly likely the other will transfer.

Mario Verduzco on Tristan Gebbia as a runner: "He’s elusive and when he gets out int he open field he can be effective and efficient as a runner."
Says he "thoroughly" disagrees he is only a passer. #Huskers

This. That's the biggest nugget I took from the interview. The one that can think and react the fastest. Also as a group he didn't think they were where they wanted them to be following spring. Martinez release a little slower too.FWIW, there were some player quotes earlier in camp saying that Martinez fairly regularly went to Gebbia to ask him questions about the offense....Frost has stated repeatedly that quick decision making is one of the most important qualities of his QB.

Frost has been up front about the data that goes into his decision making on QBs. For Frost, a QB has to run well enough in order to get yardage when it is available. The battle for QB will be won on efficiency in the passing game and quickness in decision making, with the latter the most important metric. The QB will have a lot of tools at his disposal: Stan, JD, Bell, Tre (we hope), Maurice, McQuitty, Jones, Tyjon etc. The job is very much like that of a point guard.But but but Frost hasn’t made a decision yet. I hope the defenders of all things Frost are outbin full force if Gebbia is named the starter.
