Mertz looks like garbage right now. You have to make those throws...

I've gone back and looked at some of these throws and it just looks like Mertz and Dike are not on the same page whatsoever. Dike's not ready to be running routes and he's being forced to play due to Davis and Pryor being down. It's not a surprise that Mertz looks different with 2 true freshman WR and 2 walk-ons over Davis and Pryor. Plus, the gameplans recently have been putrid and it's hard to throw consistently without rhythm, especially for a freshman QB throwing to freshman WRs. The entire offense just looks flat and has for a month.

There's not a lot you can take away from this season TBQH other than we need Davis and Pryor to come back for that free season if we want to compete at all in 2021.

I'll take your word for it. Everything just looks broken on offense.

Also, can we stop teaching our DBs to play the man instead of the ball? It's lead to a **** ton of DPIs on meaningful possessions/plays this year and we get burned by it when playing more athletic teams or teams with great individual WRs. Just annoying that our guys, for years, have been handsy/can't or don't turn their heads.

Mertz is completely mentally broken. Like a 2018 Aaron Rodgers. Doesn't trust any reads, panic stepping in clean pockets, throwing off the back foot with room to step up. Needs time off to hit reset. A full off-season with Berger, Davis/Pryor coming back, a better OL via graduation next year will do him well. We'd be smart to turn down any opportunities to play after this game.

lol **** Joe Rudolph and Paul Chryst. How are you going to open up the playbook for Chase Wolf but make Graham Mertz play conservative for a month? I really despise these clowns. Just no rhyme or reason for anything these turds do. 

Maybe that says a lot about your Proclaimed prophet like QB

maybe it doesn’t
