Yep ... especially considering that Mertz actually looked a lot better before getting trucked today. A lot better than what? He's looked pretty brutal so far, so looking a lot better than "awful" isn't a high bar to clear. He started 0-4 and was 8-15 for 115. I'm not gonna draw a lot of conclusions from that. Fair or not, Coan and Mertz are going to be compared going forward, but we have what we have. It is what it is. Mertz sucks, this offense sucks, and Cryst, right now, sucks. One half of "doesn't suck" qb play isn't enough to get me close to excited about this team how it stands right now. Michigan did ANYTHING they wanted in the 2nd half, and Mertz being in there wasn't going to change that one bit. The O-line is going to get whatever QB we have killed, whether it's Coan, Mertz, Wolff, Dan Marino, or a space robot. Doesn't matter. Unless/until Cryst figures out "running the same 5 plays over and over" isn't working (it's not) and injects some life into the offense with some motion, some wrinkles, creativity or SOMETHING, we have bigger things to worry about than Coan and ND.
