Game 8: Green Bay @ Buffalo - Sunday October 30th 7:20 PM CT

Agreed. Likely doesn’t make a difference but they’ve got to call the completely obvious penalties happening right in front of the officials. -
I don’t believe the bolded part for a second.
-
I was trying to have a serious conversation about this at one point in time but you’ve just made a mockery of this with your trolling. I’m out.
-
While that may be true, one thing that has long set Brewerfan apart was the expectation that you backed up your opinions with actual data/stats/thought process and didn’t just troll.
-
Look at these stellar stats against D3 teams. It is obvious they are all so much better than Mertz. Cade Garcia (UW-La Crosse) - 163.7 Evan Lewandowski (UW-Whitewater) - 146.4 Kaleb Blaha (UW-River Falls) - 141.1 Kobe Berghammer (UW-Oshkosh) - 138.8 Sean Borgerding (UW-Stout) - 138.0 Harry Roubidoux (UW-Eau Claire) - 114.6 Braeden Katcher (UW-Platteville) - 101.4 Nathan Shackelford (UW-Platteville) - 96.4 Trey Schroeder (UW-Stevens Point) - 87.8

I know I’m wasting bandwidth by even replying and you’ve lost all credibility in my eyes, and I’m sure many others on this board, regarding pretty much anything Badgers football related. What absurd criteria are you now using to say 200+? Go ahead, show us your list of QB’s and why they are better. Did they snub you and thought that is why you had to play D3? Just trying to figure out what is causing your inability to have any objectivity and serious discussion about this subject.
-
As if we needed it, but another reason why Giannis is awesome.
-
So, no - you aren’t able to back up the statement you made, and then doubled down on, that there are 150+ QB’s better than Mertz. In fact you said there are “easily” 150 QB’s who are better than him in college. Making definitive statements like that and then hiding behind the lame statement above loses you any credibility you may have had on this topic. I’d say pick out a different way than QB rating to compare QB’s and show me 150+ that are easily better but I know you won’t. (Hint: that is because it isn’t possible)
-
I’m sorry, I assumed that when I asked you how the stats supported your position and your response was “I mean… they do.” that you had more than just the eye ball test to fall back on. Wasn’t trying to misquote you. I guess I have a different definition of dumpster fire than you where I wouldn’t characterize somebody as one when their stats aren’t significantly worse. I don’t disagree that Young/Williams and other QB’s are better than Mertz or have better draft potential/higher upside - I do disagree with your stance that he is a dumpster fire. However, you are entitled to your opinion
-
Logically, it would track that with better players around him, he’d have the chance to put up better numbers. I do like how you ignored the part about how the stats don’t prove that he’s a “dumpster fire” and that the other QB’s are “unworldly better” than him. Your words, by the way, so I figured you would back them up with more than “I mean… they do” - guess not.
-
Lol. Now you are being absurd. He is 27th in the country in QB rating and 3rd in the B1G. All while playing on a team that you say is terrible with no talent. Prove it. Show me 150+ QB’s who are better and why. I’m sure I’ll be waiting a long time…
-
Put Mertz on those teams with the talent they have available and I’m sure his numbers would look better. As is, his QB rating isn’t that far off - which shows that they aren’t unworldly better or that Mertz is a dumpster fire compared to them. Look, Mertz isn’t a world beater and the Badgers need to improve across the board. But to call him a bust or trash or a dumpster fire like you and others have done isn’t accurate no matter how many times you guys repeat that. Feel free to show us how the stats provided prove your point though (because you haven’t yet).
-
How do those stats show that Young/Williams are unworldly better? Or that Mertz is a absolute dumpster fire compared to them? If that is truly the case, Young/Williams should have significantly better passer ratings with all of the better talent they have on offense.
-
I thought there were 150+ college QB’s who are better than Mertz though?

This is a little old, but the Bucks were picked to win the Eastern Conference and NBA Title in the annual GM survey. https://www.nba.com/news/2022-23-gm-survey

Not sure where there is any overreaction on my part as I already mentioned that I wasn’t sure about the charges. However, it is legit if somebody decides to press charges for assault in that situation - there doesn’t need to be premeditation or for somebody to be seriously hurt for assault. So based on your comments, you are totally cool with a coworker coming and just pushing you down for no reason because he’s angry about something you had nothing to do with and you happened to walk in front of him? Not asking about pressing charges and never did. The characterization of the situation where this is somehow the cameraman’s fault and the pass people are giving to Adams is what I don’t understand. Just because he was frustrated and upset over losing a football game, it is fine for him to push somebody to the ground who is just trying to walk somewhere while at work? The cameraman didn’t just accidentally fall down - the only reason that happened is because of Adams.
-
So, you would be okay if somebody came into your work and pushed you to the ground for no reason other than you happened to walk in front of him? Seems like a legit thing to charge somebody with assault for and was once again completely avoidable by Adams if he wasn’t being a jackwagon. I really don’t understand why people seem to be giving Adams a pass for his behavior or criticizing the photographer.
-
Did everybody watch a different incident than I did? The camera man isn’t really looking at Adams and there was absolutely zero reason for Adams to push him. Adams acted like a tool and deserves to get suspended by the NFL. That people are victim-blaming the photographer? Ridiculous. Even if I don’t agree with getting charged with assault (though only a misdemeanor) it was 100% preventable if Adams had even one ounce of composure after losing a football game.
-
They aren’t just going to give somebody a starting spot. If he hasn’t earned a spot on a line “this young and this bad” he probably should move on to a level that fits him better. We’ll see where he ends up and if he does anything at his next program. Not saying you can give your input either way, but are you even a UW fan?
-
The Badgers have been outperforming their recruiting rankings for 20+ years. I’d say it is more likely than not that the can continue to do so. It is no guarantee but their track records is pretty good. Leonhard has been sought after by many high profile programs and I feel pretty good about his ability going forward. We’ll see if he can keep the Badgers where they are or improve their lot.
-
Your point on the bolded statement? I was just using your numbers on the amount of FBS programs that didn’t have at least one 3 star recruit. Even then, over half of the B1G is in the same boat as Wisconsin. And honestly, if they were to get a verbal from a 3 star recruit tomorrow, would you really feel better? Here is Wisconsin’s recruiting rankings and average player rating for the last decade based on 247 composite: 2012: 65 (85.43) 2013: 40 (84.64) 2014: 32 (84.78) 2015: 41 (85.50) 2016: 35 (84.96) 2017: 39 (85.82) 2018: 46 (86.48) 2019: 29 (87.86) 2020: 26 (87.83) 2021: 16 (89.04) 2022: 44 (87.66) So, they have their highest ranked classes currently on the roster along with their highest average player ratings. 2022 wasn’t ranked very high because they had only 15 commits but they were quality players according to the recruiting services. Of course I’d prefer the Badgers to have a better record the last few years and going forward but to say their ceiling as a program is 7-8 wins if they recruit middle of the pack is absurd. They’ve pretty much recruited at that level the past 10 years and have had, excluding the COVID year, only two 7 and two 8 win seasons in the past 20 years and ten double digit win seasons in that same timeframe.
-
Why would the Badgers do that? At least with firing Chryst they had an in-house replacement that could be viewed as a better option in the long run.
-
Then I guess 75% of the country is struggling to recruit and better get moving.
-
So, about 75% of FBS school don’t have at least one 3 star recruit committed yet?
-
Figured we should start a thread for the upcoming season. Bucks play their second preseason game in Abu Dhabi tomorrow and third overall. So far they are 0-2 but that doesn’t really matter. Any predictions for the season?
