[đź”’; deletion pending] Cade done for the season/transferring?

He is not on the sidelines. I believe he posted some stuff from his home on Instagram this past weekend. It's just kind of weird at this point, seeing as how...it would be great to have a backup quarterback on the roster.
In my day injured players would often travel on their own dime and sit in the stands using guest passes from the program (given contractually by the home team). But they wouldn’t always. I never did but I wasn’t anywhere near as important as Cade.
If someone has actual inside knowledge of Cade’s plans or intentions say it and cite your source or get verified by someone credible. Otherwise there are any number of reasons he could have been at home as there were any number of reasons why I never traveled to meet the team when injured.
and cade is a captain, so you have to think that he'd feel at least some obligation to travel - it's not like he had to grab a flight to AZ or WA for a game.
I feel for Cade, he's basically been forgotten at this point. The idea that a B1G championship QB and team captain would be watching from home obviously suggests he is injured, but it must be hard for him to accept that he was passed over by JJ and there doesn't seem to be a path for him to return to meaningful playing time if not for injury.
Harbaugh crowing about how JJ reminds him of a young "Jimmie Harbaugh" probably makes him further feel like the forgotten red headed step child.
That said, Harbaugh was injured his sophomore season I believe and had to sit out and asked Bo not to forget about him...so he probably knows exactly what Cade is feeling. Cade also has many more options than college QB Harbaugh, given the portal, NIL, 5th and 6th years, etc.
Just please don't get so spiteful Cade and go to MSU with a chip on your shoulder. That would be gross on so many levels, and scare the shit out of me.
I don’t feel sorry for the kid. He was a catalyst for last year BUT without Hassan Haskins this team woulda been in some trouble. IF IF it’s true he left because he didn’t win the job, shows all we need to know about being a leader. Easy to lead when things are going your way!
I want the best for him but his comments about not knowing why he had to compete with JJ after that first game and the postgame body language presaged current events. Remember Ronnie Bell on the sidelines in street clothes and on crutches after his injury which was season ending. We need a good backup but one guy won the job and even Brady had to wait his turn. Maybe this is just due to injury and not traveling but I don't recall seeing him since the injury nor have I heard rumors on what it is and length of healing as we normally do.
He was wearing a %^+£$ leg brace at last week’s game. You not recalling if he was there means absolutely nothing. HTF do people think posting rumors and judgments under the guise of their crappy memory live with themselves?
NHG also didn't travel either. None of those players have traveled in the past couple of games. Probably speaks more to a team policy than a reflection on individual situations.
It's not a team policy, its due to the conference rule on travel rosters and how they would be taking a spot away from a player who can play in the game.
This is correct. I believe the current travel limit is 70 players. If Cade, All, Roman, and NHG traveled Michigan could only dress 66 players. It’s a dumb rule that injured players count against the travel limit and cannot be with the team for road games. Thank you NCAA, not.
I believe, if needed, Andy Maddox could suit up as long as someone else takes the pads off. 70 dressed doesn’t have to be the same 70 I don’t think…I don’t know what the rule is for football but in baseball we brought guys out of the stands and dressed them and other guys changed and took their place in the stands. As long as 25 were on the bench we were good
During the OSU game it was mentioned that their #2 RB (who had a big game when Henderson was out) as well a couple of other injured contributors did not travel with the team for MSU. This is typical and normal.
Agreed, Ronnie Bell hobbling around our sidelines last year did nothing but lower morale. Cade is doing the right thing by avoiding the sidelines at home and away games.
What gives you the impression that "Ronnie Bell hobbling around our sidelines last year did nothing but lower morale?" His presence as an injured captain last season reminded me of Eric Mayes being an injured captain for the 1997 national championship team ,cheering the team while on crutches on the sideline that season. Do you really think the players would re-elect Bell as a captain this year if all he lowered morale last year??
I certainly don't blame him. Extremely difficult year for him in all sorts of ways. Those idiot fans who booed him didn't help either. If he's headed to another spot I'll be rooting for him there too.
Serious question here - how does one "upvote" or "neg" comments on here? I see no button or anything that allows that. Thanks to you or anyone for the info. (hopefully I don't get negged for this question).
You don't have enough points yet but when you do you'll see a thumbs up/down button. Then when you see a thread like this you can down vote a bunch of the clown comments.

Nothing unusual - only 70 players can travel with the team in CFB.
He wasn’t there because he is injured- same with the other injured players.

Good point. Unless there are strict NCAA rules* against taking a 71st player, one would think he would travel.

He’s injured and there’s a limit to how many people you can dress. That limit is less as a road team vs being at home.

That is most likely the case, but they did always seem to save a spot for Ronnie Bell last year as he was also a captain.
