Man, never thought Adrian Martinez would inspire such strong and negative feelings amongst the Cal faithful - he's always looked solid whenever I've seen him...you'da thought game manager Chase Garbers had won a whole lot more in Berkeley than he actually has...

Just for schitts and giggles, I looked up their career statistics, which was a good comp b/c they're both 4 year starters for lower 1/3rd teams in P5 Conferences. I give the competition edge to Martinez, as the B1G has undeniably been the stronger conference b/t '18-'21.
Garbers:
Pass: 598/959 (62.4%) for 6580 yds, 50 TD/24 Int/132.2 rtg.
Rush: 331 carries/1174/11 TD
Martinez:
Pass: 670/1055 (63.5%) for 8491 yds, 45 TD/30 Int/139.5 rtg.
Rush: 508 carries/2301 yds/35 TD
Sorry, but I'll take Martinez any f-ing day...the 5 fewer TDs and 6 more picks are far outbalanced by the 24 rushing td edge...kid is a much bigger red zone threat, something this team needs to be better at. I really hope we get him.
Nebraska shook up their OL about 3-4 games into the season, something Cal has been reluctant to do. Who knows how effective any QB will do behind Cal's OL. THAT is what needs fixin'.
You would think Martinez was Tosh’s nephew or something! I can’t believe how negative people are on Martinez. I think he would be an upgrade over Garbers and we probably win 7 games with him this season.
How many ranked teams did Martinez play this season? 4 Garbers played what, 1?
The Big 10 is as strong as it’s ever been and the Pac 12 has been as weak as it’s ever been. Yet Martinez has put up some good stats and played well in hostile stadiums against much better opponents in his career.
Right!???! I acknowledge that Chase is a more conservative player who doesn't usually make the killer turnover, THO it has been known to happen. And even tho he runs on his tippy toes like a kid with gout in his right foot and an ingrown big toenail on his left, he was definitely a threat as a runner, tho he did most of his damage on the scramble drill.
But Martinez' legs alone separate him...he's a true duel threat. We'd be lucky to get him....upgrade big time.
