He is really impressive to me.   Just the way he handles himself you can tell he understands the game and what needs to be done.   Just need to leave him in there.  I get the feeling the offense trusts him more as well.

It seems like a Drew Henson vs. Tom Brady moment at the time. Henson and Milton have all the physical attributes but Brady and McNamara have "it" whatever "it" is. Cade seems to have it. Not saying he will end up like Brady but he is the best option at this point.

He just seems to have so much better football sense than Milton at least so far. Sees the field and makes a quick decision. Let's see what he can do for the rest of the game.

We're gonna need McNamara's arm to stay in this game, thanks to Don Brown.  The defense is decimated I know, bit his philosophy is making it too easy for Rutgers

Don Brown needs to be fired tomorrow. This is embarassing.  Green, who is an average BIG player, is the only one on that unit currently playing with any passion. Don Brown is down two DEs that are future high-end NFL draft picks and he is still running his same defense.

Michigan has outplayed Rutger 28-10 since McNamara came in the game 

I feel like if he started, it would be 38-20 right now.

What the fuck are the coaches actually looking at in practice?

Cade McNamara is "the natural."

No matter who the coach is next season, McNamara will go down as one of UM's greatest QBs of all-time.

McNamara sees the field better than any QB UM's had since Brady.  To McNamara, the game is in slow-motion.  He sees things before they happen.  He anticipates due to his imagination and intelligence.  Milton's finished.  Put a fork in him.  McNamara is light-years ahead of Milton.  Milton will never have the vision, touch and field intelligence of McNamara.  If Milton wants to be a starting QB, he needs to transfer, because he's done as a starting QB at UM.

JJ also needs to ditch his commitment to UM, bc JJ's gonna be waiting A LONG TIME before he gets to be the starting QB at UM.

I havent seen a UM QB play that well since Brady in the 2000 Orange Bowl.

I want to believe every word of this!  I know it's Rutgers but I didn't see a glaring weakness out there.  He handled the blitz, made hot reads, found guys in holes in the zone, threw the ball away under pressure (!), hit on his deep throws, improvised throws a couple of times.  Not sure he can make plays with his feet and he seems to struggle throwing an out route, but holy shit he looked like an above average Big 10 QB in his second game action. 

And he sort of reminded me of .... Jim Harbaugh.
