Cade's post game comments

Didn't you hear? Harbaugh is back at his playing weight. 

Did he really disparage past teams like this??? BENCH HIM!! McCarthy time!!!

Something different about this team. I think we all see it. It looks like a well coached and organized football team. One we haven’t seen In a long time.

I had fun rooting for our team last night. Even if we would have lost.

I think he's probably right, and honestly good on him for just coming out and saying it. There were some obvious disconnects in the previous few seasons either between the players on the team, or the players and the coaches.

Cade was on those teams, and he's worked hard to put himself in position to be the starting quarterback this season. So if he feels like the makeup of the past few teams wouldn't have been able to respond in the moment like this team did, then I see no reason why he shouldn't be able to voice his opinion about it. I only say that because it seemed like in his immediate post game interview he was almost hesitant to say it as the words were coming out of his mouth. I certainly took no issues with it, and hopefully the coaches wouldn't either.

Dan Dierdorf agreed with him relative to prior teams folding. He stated that on 'In The Trenches'.

He's right. 

Rutger game reeked of panic, however, when wheels started coming off in the second half.

The drives yesterday, on the road, in a hostile environment after blowing a big lead and blowing multiple opportunities to extend that lead showed some grit, belief , and poise we haven't seen from Harbaugh UM teams.  Was a pleasant surprise.

That said, I'd like to see us start executing and stomping on throats when in the position to do so...like going into the half yesterday we could have easily been up 20+ points.

Nice to see resilience...killer instinct would be cool too.

i said it before, but i was tremendously impressed with his poise, calm and maturity during that interview.  literally seconds after finishing the most exciting and emotional game of his college career and he's giving an interview like he's a 40 yr old, not a 20 or 21 yr old.  i'm guessing the coaches see that intangible too, and that is another reason he plays while JJ gets some seasoning in and bides his time. 

Heard it, loved it, and he's not wrong.

Oh, and remember, for the next two week Michigan is bowl eligible and Ohio State is not.

I liked it, Cade has the credibility to make these kinds of statements based on his play and duration on the team.  We may as we just be open about the challenges the program has faced, its no big secret.  As far as past teams, well, their record is public knowledge.

I mean, I dont disagree with him. Cade is the type of person you want leading your team. Leadership goes a long ways. Skill, talent, accuracy etc are all important. We are miles ahead of where we were with Milton even if Cade doesnt have the arm talent. 

I found his comments refreshing and telling it how it is instead of the typical vanilla comments you hear. Nice to see the QB1 taking ownership and being up front. The culture amongst the program has significantly changed. 

Harbaugh's first two teams at UM would have defeated Nebraska last night.  His past three would have lost.  Thankfully, this team feels more like his first two teams.

"we decided we are going to finish"  was a welcome comment. That commitment is the message of a fighting team who has purpose not to fold or stop fighting till the scoreboard strikes 0 time.  I look forward to that commitment this season. Perhaps they start that new culture of fighting for the W for teams to come.

Proud of that kid!!

Or maybe this is a game scott frost loses whether it’s Michigan or Michigan state. Michigan was the better team for most but not all of the game. Nebraska absolutely outplayed msu but in Nebraska Frost fashion found a way to lose. 

Harbaugh’s got the NFL Harbaugh juice back

Didn’t we come back from 17 down last year to Rutgers?

Didn’t we come back from 17 down last year to Rutgers?

Ok  guys I get that we all think that, but saying this year is different is completely opposed the most of the teams message that we haven't won shit yet. Am I crazy in thinking that saying this year is different is the same old shit?

I saw tempo.  That was refreshing. 

He’s right 

Jamie Morris clapped back at him on Twitter for saying this, which I thought was uncool. If he had an issue, he should've reached out to him privately or through Harbaugh or another connection in the athletic department. Twitter's no place for that. 

As I've said. I don't love shitting on your former teammates in that setting...seemed unnecessary. 

That said, there wasn't a single lie spoken.

I don't think you need to be a early career Tom Brady robot. I just didn't feel like he needed to put the past down to lift this team up. They're lifting themselves up just fine with their play on the field.

But again, he didn't say anything crazy or untrue. So I don't think you can be mad at him for stating a fact.

Just the fact that Cade had the confidence to publicly acknowledge the stigma that had surrounded the program since at least Michigan’s fortunes and Ohio State’s diverged in opposite directions during the Tressel years is a positive development. It suggests that this year’s team has the mental fortitude to confront uncomfortable truths and even embrace them to serve as motivation to change the narrative. Playing with a little chip in their shoulders can do wonders. It certainly has worked for Michigan State at times.

I didnt take this comment as Cade shitting on anybody, I took it as this team has GROWN. Some guys left but a good majority are still around.
