The defense doesn't have to respect Locke throwing the ball so they can play up a bit and don't have to worry about playing back. If your QB is not a threat to do anything that means the defense only has to stop one thing and that is the run. The run is never going to work if your QB isn't a threat to either run the ball or to throw over the defense. Locke can't do either. He can't run and he can't throw the ball. The defense doesn't even need to pack the line they can play normally and when they see run they just go full out run stop as they know even if they are fooled by this the opposing teams QB is going to do nothing absolutely nothing. That is the game plan against the Badgers stop the run and watch Locke make mistake after mistake. It is a simple game plan for every defense against the Badgers.

Locke is just so bad at throwing the ball and he can't run as he is like a statue back there. Defenses don't even have to game plan for Locke or even account for him other than handing the ball off or over throwing his WR's. If he does get the ball past the line it is either a lofted ball allowing the DB to get back into the play or it is 5-feet above the receivers head. He hasn't thrown an INT yet in this game but I don't see how Mettauer could be worse than what Locke is.
-
He can barely step up to make a throw moving a statue out of the pocket is not an option.
-
Locke continues to regress. I think he knows this is his last chance if the Badgers don't win today to start at QB at UW. He is still horrible at getting the ball over the line with three tipped balls already. I really wish they would demote him to QB2. I just don't see the point of running Locke out there over and over again. We know what he is and he is not a starting QB at a major D1 team. I don't care if the other QB is not ready they need to get him in the game as Locke is not helping the team win games he is a detriment to this team even getting close to a win.

It is the same as being a Brewers fan really.

That was a historical point as a majority of rookie QB's get blown out. Go back year after year and you will find maybe one or two a year that are not getting blown out week over week in their first year. Majority of the time a team drafting a QB in the first round and having them play in the first year are usually one to three years behind in actually competing.

Both Nix and Daniels are looking very similar to Caleb and Daniels has been losing games for Washington with the turnovers in the last two games. Nix lost a 4th quarter comeback to the Chiefs on a similar play that Williams did to the Packers. It hasn't really been on Williams it is the HC and not Williams that is the problem for the Bears. Not sure what you were watching but Caleb played really well in the 2nd half. The Bears have been absolutely awful in the 1st half other than against the Jaguars, Packers and Panthers. The Packers game was the first time the Bears had a 1st half lead since the Jaguars game in October. This is a HC problem and not a QB problem. Caleb needs to work on some things but when he is not holding onto the ball for a long time he has looked really good. He hasn't thrown an INT since 10/13 I am not sure why you think he is not looking as good as Nix or Daniels. He has been looking really good since Brown has taken over at OC for the Bears.

How many rookie QB’s are leading their team to late 4th quarter wins? He probably has had more chances than any other rookie QB in NFL history just in the last 4-weeks. I haven’t looked but I believe the majority of rookie QB’s are getting blown out week after week than they are playing competitive games. The problem is the HC here. If they play better in the first half it is probably an easier win.
-
I get bored very easily and my phone is usually what I grab once I get bored. It is more of a habit than anything else. This is why I don’t go to things that I will easily get bored of.
-
Yeah Bohm to the White Sox makes no sense at all. The only way this makes sense is if a third team would be involved and they were getting Bohm. Crawford makes some sense but I think the White Sox would prefer prospects only for Crochet and something better than Crawford.
-
The QB position has actually gone back in time to where the QB is basically a RB who can throw the ball just that the QB’s now are more athletic and have better arms and better receivers a long with the protection to limit the hard hits.
-
He is a good DT but he will need to improve on his pad level. It will probably take 2-3 seasons before you see any return on him. He is very similar to Keanu Benton and a better version of Gervon Dexter coming out of college in terms of pass rushing but he is worse at tackling. Tackling and his pad level are his biggest concerns. Though he is probably a late to mid first round selection or an early second round depending on how he performs at the combine.
-
But this has been a problem before Fickell got here at least on the offensive side of the ball. With PC there was very little to no improvement anywhere and most regressed or got worse than when they came to the program. Allen didn’t even improve all that much year over year with PC as the HC. The OL kept on getting worse and worse after year 2 or 3 under PC. The only thing that stayed constant for the Badgers was the defense. There was also very little to no improvement on the defensive line for a while. There were warts and issues under Leonard that were popping up. The D-line being the biggest problem. I can’t remember anyone on the D-line making much if any improvements year over year during PC’s reign as the HC. It was a talent issue but at some point there should have been a few players who could have been coached up a bit and I can’t remember a single one. The D-line has been a problem since PC took the job and probably a bit before that.

If you have a QB that can play under center sure run that but majority of HS QB’s will be running some kind of spread offense. Nearly all of Carter Smith’s snaps at HS came from the shotgun. Majority of your top recruits are going to be used to that than being under center.
-
Up 11 with only about 2 minutes left should be an automatic W. Though the Vikings are going to win anyways.
-
The Bucks are still missing Middleton and there still isn’t any news on when he will return. It is looking like it will be later in the season possibly after the All Star game. This is really concerning with Middleton and I am not sure he will be the same player.
-
Carter Smith commits to the Badgers.
-
Yet they were completely dominated by Ohio State in every aspect on the OL. Indiana is not a top 10 team and they are a bit overrated as they have played two teams Michigan in a down year and Ohio State. They just barely beat Michigan and got absolutely rocked and dominated by Ohio State. If you gave Indiana Wisconsin's schedule they may have one or two more wins than Wisconsin has. That doesn't scream a top 10 team to me. The OL also looked very similar to the Badgers in that Ohio State game. I don't see Bostad being all that much better than Blazek. Bostad is also in his second year at IU compared to Blazek only being in his first. Bostad didn't look all that great last year at IU.

I still think Fickell was the right hire. The defense didn't look good today which is weird as the defense lately has looked decent. The OL is still having issues where they look good for stretches then completely fall apart. I don't think it is a coaching problem I think it is the players not executing the coaching. You can be the greatest coach but if it goes in one ear and out the other there really isn't much you can do coaching wise that is a player problem. I think the Badgers have a lot of player problems on the OL and that is why the running game comes in spurts every once in awhile there are holes and other times the OL forgets what they are even doing. You can see at times there is some solid coaching going on and things get fixed and then all of a sudden they are back to where they were for no apparent reason. I don't think there needs to be a house cleaning at all. This team has some really good talent especially at the skill positions. They need to fix the OL and the QB situation if they fix those two spots I think this team will surprise people next year. This was always going to be a 3-5 year fix as PC completely gave up on recruiting and left the team in a really bad spot recruiting wise. We are just starting to see better recruitment and we just need to live through what PC did to the program recruiting wise.

He is already 34 years old. I wouldn't even put him ahead of Monasterio on the roster.

This is his 2024 spray chart with AmFam overlay. Assuming he would hit the same he would have a few doubles and outs recorded as HR's. Mostly his outs to Left Center and Right Center would be home runs and he would also benefit from the shorter dimensions in RF compared to Citizens Bank. https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/illustrator?playerId=664761&playerType=batter&name=Alec Bohm&tabSelection=0&shape=square&shapeName=Square (Instagram)&subTitle=&chartType=sprayChart&chartName=Spray Chart&pitcherThrows=&batterStands=&plateAppearanceResults=[]&pitchTypes=[]&seasonType=["R"]&pitchResults=[]&facingPlayer=[]&balls=[]&battedBallType=[]&years=[2024]&strikes=[]&outs=[]&selectedGames=[]&homeTeam=[]&awayTeam=[]&vsTeam=[]&exitVelocityGT=0&exitVelocityLT=125&pitchVelocityGT=0&pitchVelocityLT=105&launchAngleGT=-90&launchAngleLT=90&perspective=catcher&venue=32 His expected adjusted is the same in Milwaukee as it would be in Philadelphia and just one less on the standard over at Baseball Savant. https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/savant-player/alec-bohm-664761?stats=statcast-r-hitting-mlb

Add a filter to the forums and tags
nate82 replied to nate82's topic in Brewer Fanatic Issues & Suggestions
The only other thing I can think of would be to combine them into one post and have the tool just make a new post in that one. That would also de clutter things. -
Would it be possible to add a filter and a tag for all of the payroll blueprint threads? It is a bit over whelming and overly cluttered with the number of posts from this tool. I don't mind that they are on the main forum but if it would be possible to add a filter and have these tagged to remove them it would be a bit helpful.

Marquette is going to need as many wins like this as they can get as the Big East is not as good this year or as deep as it was last year.
