The Mystery That Is Mertz

The only way to prevent picks is to not throw any passes. Picks happen for many reasons. Receiver runs wrong route. Cornerback jumps the route and makes a play. Receiver fails to make the catch and accidentally tips the ball into the air. Pass gets tipped at the line of scrimmage. Quarterback gets hit by a rusher while in the act of throwing. Wind blows the pass off target. Quarterback overthrows or underthrows. Quarterback misreads coverage. Some of these reasons are the quarterback's fault, some are not. The receiver's skill and assignment discipline are just as important.
Of all positions on the field, experience and system are more important to quarterback than any other.
A quarterback without talent cannot succeed. A quarterback with talent might or might not succeed, depending on opportunity and coaching.
Probably heading to UF pretty obvious our Football Bennies on this board do not want him
If Mertz is who Coen wants...than I'm all for it. Sounds like Mertz is a bit up and down...but could do better with all the talent we have on offense (and assuming line play will be better next year too)
Agree. A lot of really talented evaluators on this board, can watch 2 minutes of film and tell if a guy's a bum.
If healthy, you simply have to like Leary ... !!
A saw a prediction this morning saying Uiagalelei is headed to UF, Oregon, or UCLA. I do not see any mention that he ever considered Kentucky.
Does Scangarello have a brother that coaches at Wisconsin?
Coach's schemes can make or break a QB, Tim Couch was ho-hum and would have transferred but Mumme came in and played him the way he could be his best.
Not any more. I think their whole staff got canned this year. And for good reason. Lol.
I understand developing a deep QB room requires a lot especially given the portal environment we are in these days. But man I sure would like to see us at least develop thru the recruiting process and not always live year to year in the portal.
Best chance the kid has is a new school/start..which he will get at Kentucky now. Just can't sugar coat the fact.......he hasn't been very good at Wisconsin the past two years. I've seen him play twice in person and many times on TV since he played in the B1G with Iowa. Hope you guys see him do good things next year.
At first I was a little “Leary” to post this , lol . This guy is definitely in the loop .
