2024 Badgers Football

[Pokerbrat2000]

Probably no one, but at this point, I'd take more enjoyment out of watching a 3rd string QB try rather than pretending Locke is going to do something. I can't remember a QB (Packers or Badgers) that I just absolutely hated watching play more than Locke.

If I'm a skill position player and I even remotely think that Locke is going to be the QB next year, I'm hitting the transfer portal if I'm on the team.

At this rate Fickell will probably be gone too by the end of 2025 season.

As I said in a previous post, I think next QB up is Freshman Mabrey Mettauer. There are a few reasons you don't play him.

First, maybe he just isn't ready. So playing him might hurt his growth more than help it.

Second, I am guessing they don't want to burn his redshirt. I can't tell you where that stands. I know he has played a bit, but I don't know how much or where the threshold currently is, that he loses the redshirt.

Finally, like I previously said, I doubt he is ready to start. Van **** and Locke got a ton of the preseason snaps. Once VD went down, I would guess that MM got a lot more practice snaps, but I don't even know how much practice they get in season.

I don't think Locke would be starting, if he wasn't their best option. Yes, he isn't any good, but he is 1 of 11 players on the offense, that I feel all need to get better.
