Martell coming back is good news

[MasterBlaster]

Tate can scramble, but he was underwhelming throwing, I mean pretty bad.

 

[firstandcanes]

He's a good athlete so let him back in and see if he can contribute in some way. If he throws another *****fit then send him packing

He is terrible at throwing and painful to watch. One of the things you got to be able to do as a QB and he cannot not do. Their was a reason why he has not started in college.

If Lashlee believes in him then so do I.

 

[colorchart123]

why did he ditch the program? we still don't know why he disappeared?

 

[Home Slice]

In any competent coaching staff, reps are given from top to bottom. If Martell is getting reps designed for othere WR's , it means he's out-performing them in practice. THAT is why I believe Martell can bring value. He's got a reputation of being a worker. See post #33 for some places the staff might find value with Martell.

I agree. what I don't want to see happen is him get reps just because he's been here longer when there may be better young Canes that would be more deserving of these reps

 

[swampcougar1]

Would much rather see TVD or Garcia get playing time. Both have a lot more potential than Tate

 

[GonzoCane]

Out of all the things we have to talk about.
This ain’t it lol.

What I was thinking. It’s hardly news at all. I thought the guy was long gone. Lets see whats happens, I guess

 

[407cane]

It's one thing to be a bad QB, but to bail on the program is inexcusable. They should drop his ***

 

[Atom Atlas]

So Martell all of a sudden learned how to throw a football???

 

[canefan96]

Actually made me laugh the last time I saw him play, took me back to my peewee football days.

 

[redcane]

I don't like taking Tate back. He quit when he didn't get the job. Not the type of guy I want around a program that already has a tendency to pack it in when faced with adversity.

But if he comes back, it has to be as a WR.

 

[ddann]

That stutter step vs La Tech, tho.

Lashmee does not believe in Martell silly

 

[Colombie]

Lashmee does not believe in Martell silly

That remains to be seen.
But I have not heard anything about Lashlee telling him to leave or that Tate has no shot.
I think he will honestly evaluate him in the spring and see what he can do like any good coach would.

I think Tate with lingard in dan enos offense will be real good

Any idea who his receivers would be? Hmmm

wiggins, pope, ragone

 

[Cajuncane]

Only way this is good news is if pictures of his girlfriend or ex/girlfriend and an occasional picture of his sister are posted daily on CIS...other than that I can’t see the upside...

 

[Warrior808]

Its a freebie, doesn't count against the 25 ICs so why not if he works hard, is a good teammate and has the right attitude. Can help on special teams and would be a nice look as the scout team QB when we face scramblers like Virginia / Perkins a year back.

Funny how there are such huge lines drawn in the sand here. There is a big area between "if he dies he dies" and "the next Aaron Murray" where the guy can still provide value even if it's not major starter reps. And there is really no risk, if he becomes a problem you tell him to leave.

If Tate's talent would match the optics of his ex gf maaaaaaan we'd be phukiiiin!
