Is Martinez any good? I really haven't payed that much attention to Nebraska football during the Frost era other than seeing the scores and laughing. It's hard to imagine he could be good at all and still lose to teams like Illinois.

Getting a nubs reject QB and then winning 9+ games with him next year would be wonderful. The tears would be delicious.

I have watched exactly 0 games of his and am 100% confident saying that he is better than Will Howard.

I think Martinez is pretty good, and a fresh start away from all the institutional problems at UNL should do wonders for him.

I've watched a ton of Nubbs games this year (mostly cause of friends and Nubbs and K-State games happened very often at the same time) and he's definitely not the crux of Nubbs issues at all. He's a bit turnover prone, but really, Nubbs issues kinda actually follow the chernobyl ranking in that Nubbs had a lot of bad luck/poor execution and play calls, especially on defense. He's a great runner, and decent passer. He'd work I think pretty well in our offense. He'd be much, much better than Howard IMO

He’s just had some sort of surgery on his arm so we will see what version of him we get.  The knock on Martinez is fumbles, he had an absurd amount at Nebraska.  If a new OC and Klieman can agree to modify the offense to let him run the ball with deuce, they could be really tough to stop.

If he's fumble prone I don't think he'll be running a lot while Klieman is the head coach

In all seriousness, I think that is probably why we'll get him and it does make sense.

FTR Martinez is following Collin Klein, but not sure when we did that.

I watch a ton of nebraska football due to wife/inlaws.

Martinez has a ton of "raw talent" better arm than skylar IMO. needs to work on turnovers, not sure if this was a scott frost problem or a martinez problem.

He's absolutely a massive upgrade over anyone on the roster next year, turns a 5 win season into a 7-8 win season IMO (if they can land a WR in the portal as well)

You can tell he has a lot of talent when you watch him. The fact that he's been their #1 QB since he was a freshman also speaks to that.

yes, he's definitely a fun qb to watch. I would be very excited to watch him throw the football for the cats football team next year if that's what he wants to do.

Adrian Martinez to Kansas State would be a massive win for KSU.
That ability to run will make deuce that much more if a weapon.

Yes, we agreed on all points, but this is definitely why getting him would be great, he'll win us some games Howard won't (assuming Howard can't improve at all, which seems like it).

This is the most interesting KSU thing in nearly a decade.

Nothing against all the other KSU transfers, but I haven't been this excited about a possible transfer since Brown Bro's and Chris Harper.

So long as Howard can continue to be the best backup in the country, I'm happy

We could look into redshirting him and using Lewis and Rubely as backups in 2022.

It’s a lot easier to teach someone to fumble less than be a good quarterback

Yeah, I don’t think “fumble prone” is really even a thing. Like maybe he has issues trying to make too much happen or just doesn’t secure the ball properly but that’s all coaching 101 stuff.
