From the Perch: Tate Martell

[Southcane]

I doubt anyone said his high school competition was garbage. They played the toughest schedule in the entire country his senior year.

I'm sure you didn't read the posts above. And you say that with authority my friend.

Thank you! This is exactly what I was looking forward to.

Bishop G plays my STA raiders. Comp Debate Solved.
He doesn't have a rocket arm but he makes up with it with a quick release and he is more than capable making the throws I saw Enos had Allan do at Arky (Hurts isn't a pat Mahomes either now)
He is shortest scholarship qb on the roster but i showed a clip or two of how he can work the pocket and manufacture throwing lanes like some of the shorter NFL guys do.
He isn't the most perfect mechanically sound guy I have seen. But whatever. Perfect Mechanics are a myth Defenses won't always let you be perfect mechanically. But Enos will make him better. I really believe that.

This!

I gave a former QB and QB coach perspective on this exact point.

Well done, Roman. Thanks for all you do for CIS!

But, according to posters here:
His competition in HS was garbage.
He doesn't have good arm strength.
He is too short and wouldn't be able to see the field
He doesn't have sound mechanics.

Feel free to add to this list, people.

His competition in HS was NOT garbage. Bishop Gorman played and beat highly ranked teams from Florida, California, Arizona and elsewhere, including Nevada during his playing time. They were ranked number 1 in the country, year-after-year, if that ranking means anything.

Some of y'all are super emotional.
Who's ****ting on Tate?

Finally had time to read your write-up. Great work. Now we all need to pray he's ready and able to play this coming season.

 

[S.O.M.]

Small sample size or not, I saw more good in that handful of highlights than I saw from any of our QB's in a **** of lot more than his 28 attempts. Roman excellent as always. Man you do great work.

Lol, no he isn't. One is an elite runner at the college level. The other clearly isn't. Martell has advanced QB skills. Milton is a system QB in a mid tier conference.

Manizel ran for over 1400 yards and had 21 rushing TDs as a freshman. I don't think you realize how good Manizel actually is talent wise.

Some of you don’t read posts and come and ask questions SMH. I quoted at least two posters who did exactly that and you come here and ask this question!

Are you a man?

He does not play like it.

He does not play like it.

Not true, in most of his runs he looks really quick. He’s not a 4.4 guy at qb but he has more than enough speed to gash defenses whenever he runs
