    RB Damien Martinez enters the Portal

    Answering my Damien Martinez question would be bring this back on topic. But no worries if you don't want to. And no worries if you don't want to answer my questions about Walton. I don't blame you. But let me respond to your final statements for context. - Was Walton held back? Sure. Would...

    RB Damien Martinez enters the Portal

    Exactly as predicted - facts don't change your mind at all. Walton was held back a grade & reclassified to the class he was supposed to be in. Again - Narrative > Facts Oregon St was #2 & #6 in Run Blocking . So are you saying Martinez only put up good stats because he had a good OL? I'd...

    RB Damien Martinez enters the Portal

    I've debunked the OL narrative many times - but it doesn't matter. No one changes their mind on it. Example: PFF Rated Miami's OL Run Blocking #33 in 2016 - when Walton started & got 57% of his P5 carries. PFF Rated Miami's OL Run Blocking #31 in 2023 - as a comparison. Now - Does that change...

    Yes - And here's how Walton played in that start vs the 1-7 Jets As I said - you refuse to acknowledge Walton's stats in any way & therefore you have no argument. This "A player starting a game is more important than how he played/that stats he put up in that start" corner of stupidity...

    RB Damien Martinez enters the Portal

    You have an easy time defending Walton - but the problem is your defense is terrible. I'd respect you if you said something like: "Walton's stats against P5 & NFL teams were pretty bad, but I liked him, and he was a 4th Rd pick, so the NFL and a lot of other smart did to". But you refuse to...

    RB Damien Martinez enters the Portal

    Like I said - Some people can understand / acknowledge / accept it - some can't. Example - here's Travis Homer's career rushing stats vs P5 with Martinez & Walton. You can: 1) Just easily see & accept that: - Martinez & Homer have similar numbers & both averaged 2 more ypc than Walton -...

    RB Damien Martinez enters the Portal

    I get that Miami and other schools have already been talking to him. And all schools will continue to talk to him while he's visiting the other campuses until he commits. I get that Miami may already be the choice, and maybe he's using these other visits to drive up his NIL payday. I'm just...

    RB Damien Martinez enters the Portal

    The Mark Walton Paradox will always be this: Do you have the ability to understand / acknowledge / accept the fact that Walton put up all his numbers against weak teams? Some can, some can't.

    RB Damien Martinez enters the Portal

    My 1st thought is I'm happy to see we got the last visit. My 2nd thought is that a **** of a lot of traveling & similar sales pitches in 10 days. He may be exhausted by the time he gets to Miami. But recruiting & closing is Mario's calling card.

    I don't know - it seems to have worked out well for him.

    RB Damien Martinez enters the Portal

    Gus ironically was back practicing in Spring 6 months after his lisfranc. No one seems to mention under Richt he was playing 12 months removed from lisfranc. But 10 years later people are acting like Fletcher's lisfranc is a death sentence. Rutgers was also the worst offense in college...
