Martinez will be the qb unless he has a mental breakdown or is injured. He is so far ahead of Gebbia physically, remember he is a year younger, coming off of a major injury, and he played in the system. Everything he does is smoother, simpler, and more natural. Frost wants the qb to take 5-10 hits a game in the run game, especially on 3rd and short. The Qb has to be a reliable option in order to run the read. Gebbia doesn't have the speed, agility, but is also dramatically smaller and less physical. That is a big deal in the spread option, especially in short yardage and in the big 10. Gebbia also has less pure arm strength, less power throwing on the run, or with his leg space limited, or in an unnatural position. Gebbia requires a pocket with plenty of leg space, which is fine because he is a pocket passer meant for an NFL system. He takes way more energy to make throws, and has to involve his entire body. Again, fine in an NFL system but not optimum in a read option system like Frosts where the qb throws on the run or in mid-read. Milton wasn't huge but he was very accurate in multiple launch angles, Martinez doesn't seem to have that level of diversity in throws yet but he does appear to be able to get a ball off, with juice, with just his arm or with his feet out of rhythm. Great qbs either have to have arms strength without legs and accuracy from multiple angles(favre) or amazing feet to always get set and quickly. That is a big deal because he will be asked to fake to rb, take off running, and then throw to a TE, RB, WR option when the d collapses on him. Gebbia not only can't fake on the read properly, but he is not nearly as natural in making these awkward whip throws. He is still the more experienced college player but every day that advantage wanes. The only thing that could give Gebbia the win is if Martinez played and acted like a true freshman. He does not, he plays with confidence and poise, carries himself well on the field and in interviews and is a good teammate who can win the team. Having two qbs is a great option especially when they are both so young and so naming Martinez early would have hurt Gebbia's development as a backup, and he will be needed. A freshman getting through a full season without injury is unheard of. I suppose keeping the competition going so long may keep Gebbia from transferring this season, which will bolster our depth. There is no way that an undersized, pocket qb, who requires massive leg space and time to throw. who is still a RSH Frosh with no experience in the system is going to be the qb.
