    Default Mertens

    Kolpack has a nice column on Mertens today. Kid sounds like a natural Leader, Walker was great, but I can't wait to see a 6'1", 215lb, mobile QB in the backfield!

    Can't wait to see him finally get his chance, i dont think many people have much confidence in him, but look at all my other posts from day 1 when we started talkin about him, this kid is gonna be a stud

    I think most fans have confidence in Mertens. It's the lack of depth and the fact the coaching staff didn't recruit a QB for two years that scares some of us. I have sensed very little apprehension regarding Mertens as the QB. He'll be a dandy.

    Too bad he is kind of short. Only knock I can make against him. But, Walker wasn't that tall either, and he did great!

    Can't wait to win our first national title in D1.

    Are you being sarscastic?

    Mertens is 6'1" and gargantuan compared to Brecke and the new scholie QB from CA (Mohler), both of those guys about 5'11", and maybe not that tall.

    So, if you think he is kind of short, you ain't seen nothing yet.

    Why do you think they recruited all of the OL this past season who are 6'2" instead of the 6'4" to 6'6" they had been recruiting?

    dont judge kids on their size, it really means nothing....otherwise your saying shamen shouldnt be playing football...he's barely bigger than most junior high kids, but is the most electrifying player on the field

    Interesting, as far as the Bis. Tribune article today we are still up in the air of who is the starting QB, even quoted Perles.

    There was a Bison article in teh Bismarck Tribune? Glory Hallelujah! It's a Christmas miracle!!!

    Of course, it was probably buried on one of the back pages after the three-page pictoral spread of UND football players doing situps and talking up their fall schedule.
