Who would you start in the championship game - Adrian Martinez or Matt Corral?

It's going to be pretty weird when Martinez is announced as league MVP tomorrow days after getting pulled in the conference championship game. But now that Birmingham has earned a spot in the UFL Championship, if you were Skip Holtz, would you re-insert Martinez? Or ride Corral?

Phew... that's a tough question. But it could be Skip likely waits as long as possible OR announces a starter early only to swap out quickly to throw off the XFL champs.

I'd likely start Corral but play Martinez looking to get runs and quick passes to convert 2nd and 3rd downs.  Martinez likely 5-6 passes and 4-5 runs in the game.

Of course you ride Martinez. He's the starter, that's what they agreed upon.

You have to start the reigning MVP.

I would keep it hidden who I am going to start until game time, and then I would start Martinez.

Breaking: The Birmingham Stallions will be starting QB Adrian Martinez in the #UFL Championship game, per HC Skip Holtz on @3ManFront. Martinez had been benched in the 3Q during the USFL Conference Championship for Matt Corral, who led the @USFLStallions to the win. <<

I think Skip starts the MVP.  He's always been a "dance with the one that brung you" coach and Adrian got the team where they are.  Matt's a good and reliable backup, and Skip's shown he'll go to him, but I think we see Martinez on Sunday.

Skip Holtz's exact words were



He also said both QBs were getting equal reps in practice this week, which he pointed out was their normal process. 

If I were the Brahmas I would be ready for anything,

I'm sure Martinez will start but in my opinion Corral is the better passer.   Martinez produces more points AS LONG AS  he can get loose and make runs.   However against the best teams in the league they have kept him boxed in and he's floundered as a passer in those situation.  Since the Brahmas are the best defense in the league were it me I'm starting Corral.

Holtz said already Martinez to start but after a few series - he'll see,  its a good maneuver by Holtz
