Maybe Mertz does develop into his pro QB style potential, so not calling to pull the plug right away. But perhaps looking at other types offensive schemes may be worth doing in the future. It’s worth noting that the program won several conference titles without a “real quarterback,” even if they weren’t 5-star recruits. Besides the one-year transfer by Wilson, the best modern-era quarterback was Bollinger, another mobile quarterback who could throw, allowing for another wrinkle to the offense: some option play and QB runs. That losing streak against Penn State will start to be a measuring stick against Chryst, though. Should be able to win at least one-third of those games; now Chryst is 0-3.
