Guest Coy Bacon Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 [quote name='Palmer4HOF' post='231280' date='Mar 13 2006, 09:07 PM']I know some people hate hearing "expert" advice, but here's a little bit about Martin who is listed as the 11th best FA QB on espn.com [quote] Grade 61 Expert's Take Eight-year veteran that has basically been a career backup or spot starter when injuries arise. In the Rams system because he is a Mike Martz favorite that has an excellent feel for the system. He has solid size for the position. He is a pocket passer comfortable at 3, 5 and 7 from inside the tackle box. He is smart and a solid decision maker. He will take what the defense gives him - not a guy that will force the action or try to do more than he is capable of. He shows solid short to intermediate touch. He does a good job of leading the receiver on short to intermediate crossing routes. He shows solid throwing mechanics. He is not a very good athlete limited mobility to move outside the pocket and throw. He does not show a very good feel for pressure and tends to hold the ball too long. He has average to below average arm strength for the position. He does not show the consistent arm strength to throw into the deep outs and curls. He is slow in his set quickness. He shows below average release quickness not a lot of pop when the ball comes off his hand. He is more of a caretaker does not show a lot of big play flair in their offense despite having numerous above average weapons. Overall he has topped out. He has value as a backup because he is a smart, veteran that can come in and make good decisions with the football. He has never had value as a starter in this league.[/quote] Full Name: Jamie Blane Martin Born: February 8, 1970 Orange, CA Height: 6-2 Weight: 205 lbs.

Palmer4HOF Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 [quote]Bengals negotiating with Martin <Mar. 25> The Bengals are involved in contract discussions with Martin's agent, Tom Mills, the Cincinnati Inquirer reports. But Mills said not to expect a deal any time soon. "We did exchange contract proposals," Mills said of his conversation with Bengals vice president Troy Blackburn. "There is mutual interest." The Bengals need a backup capable of opening the season as the starter in the event Carson Palmer isn't fully recovered from the injury to his left knee suffered in a playoff game vs. the Steelers.[/quote] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
