Kason Martin Update Week 2

[El Paso Eagle]

Based on the receivers he is passing to (as used by many to explain Aune last year) these numbers are impressive. His O-line is also not that good.

Tempted to go see him in person at Tarleton this weekend.

Looks like he had a learning experience with a pick 6.  Still his passing numbers were solid other than the 2 int's.

Again, can someone show me anyone on our roster that could do better?

I get the narrative you're writing, but the stats you posted conveniently leave out the fact that he threw a pick six in the 4th quarter with ENMU up by 1 and threw his second pick in their last possession of the game. I don't have any beef with him, but using the stats he puts up at ENMU to try to prove whatever you're trying to prove doesn't really tell the whole story.

And leaving out the fact that he is throwing against Midwestern State’s D2 secondary.

Well, the poster that originated this thread is a Dan McCarney fan. So, I'm sure he enjoys soaking in pedestrian QB play.

With D2 receivers. And do you think he could not complete passes against our DB's who play 5-10 yards off the receivers.

I guess Aune's stats against a very low level SWAC team should not count

For the love of God, stop. Give it up. He's not coming back.

[El Paso Eagle]

Nobody thinks he's coming back. but it amazes me that when you try and say nice things about a former player who worked hard here and did not bad mouth us some people still want to take a shot at him. Guess he should have bad mouthed us and some of the same people would keep going on how bad we miss them.

People aren't just saying nice things about him, they are using his D2 stats to say he would be tearing it up against better talent that we have faced, even Texas Southern.  Forget the fact that he was here 4 years through some of our worse QB rooms in recent history and just got to 3rd string.

I'm a huge Kason Martin fan! He's been one of the best representatives/teammate that I can think of in the last 10 years. He seemed like a good person and always brought energy to the sideline. I really do hope he plays well and enjoys his last couple of years and it makes me uneasy to have to talk negative towards him.  However, I just don't think his numbers at ENMU translate to doing well had he got to play here.

This, this, this, and this.
 

@El Paso Eagle you know full well you aren’t talking about Kason’s stats just to say nice things about a former player. You are using it to make the case that he is better than our current starter and the only reason he didn’t get a chance to start here is because the coach is bad at assessing quarterbacks. Our coach may be bad at assessing quarterbacks but don’t act like Kason performing well at the D2 level is some proof of them missing out and making a mistake on him. Kason is a good player and an even better human but he doesn’t have FBS arm strength which is why he chose to come here over Commerce and only had D2 offers in the portal. He has fantastic touch and accuracy on his deep ball but if you want him to drill one into tight coverage the arm just isn’t there.

Normally it's the backup QB that is everyone's darling player.  In classic North Texas fashion we have taken this to a whole new level.

Pedestrian QB play can still win bowl games. 🤷‍♂️

DT was better than pedestrian.
