Graham Mertz was one of the most highly-touted quarterback prospects in program history for the Wisconsin Badgers. But, he has been far from living up to those expectations to this point in his career.
We have seen flashes of greatness from Mertz, well in one game. In the first start of his career, Mertz threw for five touchdowns and was 20-of-21 against Illinois. Then, Mertz got COVID and injured himself and has never been back to that level.
In fact, in his nine starts since that game at Illinois, Mertz has thrown for just 5 touchdowns. The redshirt sophomore quarterback has been picked off 11 times in the same time frame. Not to mention the fumbling issues Mertz has had throughout his tenure as the starter. And to make matters worse, he's completing only 57% of his passes in those games, too.
Now at 1-2 with losses against two Top-25 teams this season, Wisconsin and their fans are looking for answers. So, LeRoy and Sparky pose the question: Do you think Graham Mertz should remain the starter at Wisconsin?
