RandyMossIsBoss Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 8 minutes ago, beekay414 said: Honest question for y'all... How long of a leash do you think Mertz has with PC? Gotta expect that they'll play him through the EMU game to try to get his confidence back up before Notre Dame. If he drops another stinker at any point in that game, you have to go to Wolf. Oh, and if we make the switch, Chryst has to be committed to it and not call a ***** *** level game like he usually does when he replaces a QB. I mean if Mertz is this bad again? Bench him for Wolf or just run the triple option, but I don’t want to switch just for sake of switching. The whole pass O is a mess right now, it’s like 2020 Eagles. Poor pass pro, WRs not getting open, bad playcalling, and of course poor QB play. I don’t see any point throwing Wolf in that fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just wondering if we're going to let Mertz grow or if we are going to yoyo him because PC can't figure out wtf he wants at QB, literally ever. Wolf could at least offer a different type of running threat and we can go to a shotgun type option game. He's shown he can make simple reads and throw them accurately so it might be something to consider if Mertz ****s the bed vs ND. Of course, that's asking PC to do something different for the first time...well...ever so it's probably not a legitimate ask. Man knows one way to coach and it's ridiculous. There's a reason he's a .500 coach when trailing at half. He can't/won't adjust. Edited September 4, 2021 by beekay414 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packerstk7 Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 This discussion has made me wonder, who is the last Wisconsin QB that actually improved during his time there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either Tolzien or Stave. I guess Coan became serviceable, like Hornibrook, but our offense was limited in what it could do with him. EDIT - I guess Stave was more "serviceable" than developed/improved, since his senior year his TD/INT ratio was 1. So the answer is Tolzien...11 years ago under a different regime.

beekay414 Posted September 4, 2021 Author Share Posted September 4, 2021 Is it a Mertz problem or a Chryst problem? Hmm, I wonder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These games keep happening from our QBs, no matter who it is. At some point, the head ball coach needs to take blame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I’m starting to think the success he had as OC with us is down to individual talent of Russell, MGIII, Taylor, Ball. We’ve looked awful against decent teams on offense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekay414 Posted September 5, 2021 Author Share Posted September 5, 2021 The reason is pretty simple tbh. Our head coach is an idiot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mertz was one of the top QBs coming out of high school. Can a kid with that kind of talent crash and burn this quickly without "help"?

beekay414 Posted September 5, 2021 Author Share Posted September 5, 2021 lol Paul Chryst would've never had that much confidence in Jack Coan to do what Brian Kelly just did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekay414 Posted September 6, 2021 Author Share Posted September 6, 2021 We're going to run the ball 95% of the time vs Notre Dame. Just watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
