I agree in part to what your saying, but I will put a dime in for the recievers. WIth the inconsistancies in Taylor motion and delivery, players don't know where the ball is going to go. It is hard to build a raport with a qb who isn't throwing a consistant ball.

Martinez is a shotgun, we need more of a sniper.

I think TM's throw is pretty consistent. He may throw a bit heavy on the shorter throws because of his motion, but receivers generally do get used to how one QB throws over another. That's what practice is for.

I don't know that they don't know what the ball is going to do. It's not like he's throwing tumbling balls or horribly wobbling balls. Sometimes his throws are simply not on target, but when he puts the ball into their hands, it's on the receivers to make the catch.

It may not look pretty, but his throwing motion is actually consistent.

I'm not sure what you're point is here. Simply don't understand the LeBron James comparison. I have never said that TM was a Championship QB.

I remain unconvinced that he will ever win a championship, but I do think he has been the best QB for this offense the last two years. I couldn't see Cody or Zac winning a championship either. Certainly not without a championship caliber defense.

I do think there needs to be an upgrade at the position, but right now, I have yet to see how Carnes, or any of the non-scholarship QBs provide that upgrade. Feel me bro?

Now, Brion has the chance to prove he's a better QB this Spring. I sincerely hope he turns out to be more than a 100% improvement. That might result in a championship.

However, with a two year starter returning, and both having another year in the system, BC will have to be a championship caliber QB in order to take the job away from Martinez.

I'm amused. People talk about how good these receivers are while ignoring the fact that the guy throwing the ball is the one putting the ball into their hands.

How frustrated do you suppose the QB and the OC might get when the WR runs the wrong route or turn the wrong way.

Believe it or not, these kids did make incorrect cuts and ran incorrect routes last year.

Hopefully, with another year in the system, everyone will be on the same page most of the time.

Good points DA... also don't forget that Beck's system requires the QB and the WR to be on the same page mentally every play... most of the receivers have option routes depending on how the defense is covering them (This is what Beck calls "Going where they're not). The first year under the system you are bound to see some bad communication and when a receiver runs a bad route it sometimes looks like the QB doesn't know where he's throwing it.

Over all another year in the system and another year developing that cohesiveness which is so important in an offense like this and I think we will see the passing game start to change dramatically.

Yes, obviously, TM is the only QB in CFB that throws a wobbler now and then.

Please…

Mark this date on the calendar. I say that, without a shadow of a doubt, Brion Carnes is Nebraska's starting quarterback this fall ! No doubt in my mind. Mark it down.

Yup, I had a vision saying #15 was back under center.

And we need gas @ $2.50.
