Wisconsin QB Jack Can injures foot, out indefinitely
SIAP. Seems significant. Important offensive cog.
October 4th, 2020 at 10:21 AM ^
He Can injure his foot, Coan?
October 4th, 2020 at 10:29 AM ^
Teammates are saying he has a ‘Can Do’ attitude - so don’t be surprised if he bounces back quickly.
October 4th, 2020 at 10:23 AM ^
Do you think “Coan,” can eventually play if Can is ruled out indefinitely?
October 4th, 2020 at 10:23 AM ^
I nominate the Wisconsin backup quarterback Danny Vanden Boom to the all name team.
October 4th, 2020 at 12:25 PM ^
His dad, Matt, was a safety on the ‘81 UW team that upset #1 ranked Michigan. Great name for a safety
October 4th, 2020 at 8:48 PM ^
Which is why McDoom should have been moved to corner. That, and he is built more like a corner & catches like one.
October 4th, 2020 at 10:23 AM ^
More like Jack Can't amirite
October 4th, 2020 at 12:26 PM ^
Too many dads posting here
October 4th, 2020 at 3:04 PM ^
I'm so happy someone got this joke in so early. I'd have been disappointed if not.
October 4th, 2020 at 10:26 AM ^
I am anticipating that he will be back just in time for the Michigan game.
October 4th, 2020 at 10:26 AM ^
At least they have 3 backup QBs
October 4th, 2020 at 10:27 AM ^
Some Wisconsin fans are almost happy about this. Not because Coan's hurt, but because it opens the door for Graham Mertz to start. Coan by all means is just a guy/game manager, while Mertz is a RS Fr and the highest rated QB recruit to come to Wisconsin in recent history (possibly ever?). The upside with Mertz is significantly higher than any other option they have now, and probably higher than any QB they've had since Wilson.
October 4th, 2020 at 10:29 AM ^
Figured someone would say the backup is more talented since Coan didn’t scare anyone.
October 4th, 2020 at 10:53 AM ^
Isn't the backup always more talented.
October 4th, 2020 at 11:21 AM ^
Yes: Graham Mertz.
He is being talked about as the best QB Wisc has ever recruited. Honestly, this is not good news for opponents. I think Mertz + the usual Wisc running attack will make for a very dangerous team...
October 4th, 2020 at 11:39 AM ^
Wisc could be better off with a guy like Mertz in there. Who's to argue?, anyway, isn't Joe Milton getting a lot hype from us Michigan fans these days? It still remains to be seen. I hope Joe is as good or even better than expected to be.
October 4th, 2020 at 12:24 PM ^
Wisconsin with Jack Coan: lose the rose bowl
Wisconsin with Russell Wilson: lose the rose bowl
Wisconsin with Patrick Mahomes: lose the rose bowl
Wisconsin with John O'Korn: lose the rose bowl
It is written
October 4th, 2020 at 12:27 PM ^
Wisconsin with brooks bollinger won the rose bowl
wisconsin with Darrell bevell won the rose bowl
wisconsin with mike samuel won the rose bowl
October 4th, 2020 at 6:41 PM ^
To be clear, Wisconsin has recruited far fewer QBs as Brooks Bollinger was their guy for 15 years. Seems like Fraser MI’s own Jim Sorgi was the backup for another 6-8 years. It’s not like Ohio St. where they take a QB every year.
October 4th, 2020 at 10:10 PM ^
They should be careful what they wish for. Or perhaps they didn’t know the ranking of Shea Patterson. Coan was pretty decent. No guarantee the new guy exceeds that level.
October 4th, 2020 at 10:28 AM ^
That really sucks for Coan. Is it Graham Mertz time? Their backup is a pretty big deal so this may even be an upgrade at the position. Of course he has to show it on the field
October 4th, 2020 at 10:33 AM ^
Jack can injures foot?
I wasn't that good in my HS English class but even I can tell that you have done wrong.
(I had a dream where I was talking in my sleep.)
October 4th, 2020 at 11:26 AM ^
In my reality, you are always blogging nonsense in your sleep.
October 4th, 2020 at 12:03 PM ^
Were you talking in your sleep about ponying up $5 for a new MGoAccount?
Asking for a growing # of MGoUsers...
October 4th, 2020 at 5:13 PM ^
Nothing he says is inflammatory
He doesn't fuck with anyone
He just posts stupid shit.
Honestly mgoblog would probably be a little bit nicer if more users were like tpc.
October 4th, 2020 at 8:54 PM ^
True, what you've pointed out are the reasons I probably won't ban him, "probably" being the key word.
TBH, I find him more often an annoyance and a work-in-progress than a serious problem. He has slowly gotten better at actually contributing to conversations every now and then, he doesn't go into attack mode against other MGoUsers, he doesn't spread covid disinformation, and I've sometimes found him somewhat entertaining when he talks about his "sparty crush".
Pony Conquerer's biggest problem, and what still might someday get him banned, is his continued habit of derailing serious discussions by injecting nonsense, something he's been warned about more than once.
My earlier comment was more a poke at him to get his attention than a stern warning.
October 4th, 2020 at 10:33 AM ^
Why can no one on the board take the two seconds to check their spelling on board posts? Jack Can, Cam Newtown, etc.
October 4th, 2020 at 10:36 AM ^
This is a Ralphie-level umpossible question
October 4th, 2020 at 12:45 PM ^
Don't forget former QB D'Jake Rudddock
October 4th, 2020 at 10:36 AM ^
Im sure they'll have it all sorted out unfortunately by 11/14
October 4th, 2020 at 11:03 AM ^
October 4th, 2020 at 11:33 AM ^
I believe Jack Skellington is next in line
October 4th, 2020 at 11:51 AM ^
That dude is like 8' tall. He'd better have Tacopants on his team, or it's going to be a long day.
October 4th, 2020 at 11:03 AM ^
Let’s be real, whoever Wisconsin throws back there at QB, that person’s primary job is to just hand the ball off to the RB 60-70% of the snaps and then not screw the rest up. This is not going to change Wisconsin’s bread and butter, or what they want to do offensively.
Wisconsin hasn’t needed a QB to ever be anything more than that since Russell Wilson.
October 4th, 2020 at 11:07 AM ^
Amazing how Michigan’s opponents have second and even third string QBs who can play well and Michigan can’t even find one.
October 4th, 2020 at 1:02 PM ^
Based on what? Mertz hasn’t played yet and we’re automatically assuming he’s going to play well? He’s highly ranked and hyped, but so are our backup and third string QB every year. So what’s the difference?
The only team that has come in with a backup or third stringer and played well against us is OSU and Bama. Which, it’s easy to look good with that much talent surrounding you.
Not sure why you think Mertz is for real but ignore the hype that surrounded guys like Shane Morris, John O’Korn, Dylan McCaffrey and Joe Milton.
October 4th, 2020 at 5:10 PM ^
Mertz would have been QB1 for Wisconsin if he was better than Coan. Bottom line.
He was not.
October 4th, 2020 at 11:13 AM ^
Fell down some stairs
October 4th, 2020 at 11:30 AM ^
Call him Jack No Can Do Coan
October 4th, 2020 at 11:30 AM ^
Title seems like a koan
October 4th, 2020 at 11:43 AM ^
I bet he was he Jack Can’ it and lost his balance
October 4th, 2020 at 12:00 PM ^
Is no Can in Madison the equivalent of no coolers in Columbus?
October 4th, 2020 at 12:08 PM ^
He’ll have 8 weeks till UM so, unless it’s so bad he needs surgery, even a fracture would be healed by then. Depending on PT, he may need more than 8 weeks but I doubt it.
Edit: 6 weeks, sorry I had wrong date. It makes it less likely he’ll be back so I guess we’ll see
October 4th, 2020 at 1:43 PM ^
It depends on the injury but I think we play them in 6 weeks which will be a more impressive recovery to get back to starting.
edit: good thing I refreshed before my comment. :/
October 4th, 2020 at 2:47 PM ^
Careful what you wish for...
I saw Backup Graham Mertz at his Elite 11... thought he was the third best QB there behind Oklahoma’s Spencer Rattler and Auburn’s Bo Nix....
October 4th, 2020 at 3:31 PM ^
Well Rattler has been pretty good right?
Let’s see what Mertz does before we start getting worried
October 4th, 2020 at 5:31 PM ^
Nix threw for 2500 yards at a completion rate of 57% with 16 touchdowns and 6 interceptions and is on the exact same trajectory this season.
Jack Coan threw for 2700 yards at a 69% completion rate with 18 touchdowns and 5 interceptions.
So what your saying is Bo Nix was better than Graham Mertz and Bo is definitely worse than Jack factually based on stats. So therefore you believe we should be careful what we wish for? Yep makes total sense.
October 4th, 2020 at 5:04 PM ^
October 4th, 2020 at 8:36 PM ^
Maybe he gets replaced with Jack (in the) Box...
