I am hoping that with another year of maturity and one half a game of experience Mertens can step in and prove he has some great things to contribute. As for Parsons, he always seems to jump the gun and take off running. So far Brekke has not shown much either. OK, maybe it is possible any one of these three could suddenly surprise us and become a great QB. I hope that is what happens. As a fan, Alumnus and teammaker I am concerned about a post Walker letdown. Maybe I was hoping that there would be a legit transfer from an FBS school, or a good sized QB from the region who make a commitment to NDSU. Just seems strange how it took until the last week before signing day to get a recruit from San Diego given NDSU's high FCS ranking. I suppose Jose could end up being as good if not better than Walker. Maybe I have my doubts, but there is nothing wrong with voicing them here. I never made personal atacks on the players or coaches. If one of you blind faith posters could come up with something other than the coaches will make it happen we might have some good dialogue. Maybe someone who was at the Mississippi Valley State game could comment on how well Mertens took command or how sharp his passes were? Maybe someone has inside info on how Parsons is working on staying in the pocket, etc? Going into 2008 the QB situation will be the #1 question mark. Apparently this topic is taboo at Bisonville.
SD, I agree with you. QB will be the biggest question mark. I am a more of lets wait and see what happens. All of spring ball and fall two a days working with the first offense should help out these guys, but after walker it is natural to expect a letdown. I have catious optimism. I am not disagreeing with you, just waiting to see what happens.
