Denard Post Game Comments

After tonights game it is good to see that Denard has become a leader on this team.  I always hated the Tebow post game "no team will try harder" speach, but I like what Denard had to say following tonights loss.

"I want to say sorry to everybody who watched football, watched Michigan football and whoever follows Michigan football, I want to say sorry and it won't happen no more. I am going to be accountable for the rest of the season. I'll tell you that much."

Most disappointed I've been in I don't know how long, the 22 years I've been living, this is the most disappointed I've been in myself.

I hope we can put this behind us and move into B1G play and get a big win two weeks from now at Purdue.

Wolverman has been caved, which is good, but in doing so a bunch of conversations in this thread now go as follows:

  • Comment: "Denard seems like a class act"
  • Response: "Die in a fire" 

If a response seems overly harsh... that's why.

I love Denard. He is a wonderful kid, and always conducts himself with incredible class and dignity. 

So remember that when I say: Man, I really wish he was a better quarterback. :( 

For his sake, I could almost wish Rodriguez had stuck around. Not that I think Michigan would be better overall, but I'm pretty sure HE would be more effective.  I'm not blaming Hoke/Borges. I know a lot of the numbers show Denard improving, and I think in some ways he has. It seems clear to me though, that he is not going to become the game managing QB in the passing game that we need him to be, and the RRod offense would avoid his vulnerabilities.

Eh, he had his moments, but people blow up his greatness because (a) he only played for about a season, (b) that season the team had an amazing set of offensive talent, and (c) he beat a couple of teams.  He still lost 3 games despite having an elite defense and Anthony Thomas running for 1700 yards in the backfield.  He was a very good QB, but I was in the stands for those games and he made his fair share of mistakes.  Put Denard on those teams and he'd have similar stats, if not better.

that elite D gave up over 50 pts to NW.  it was henson's poor play that lost that game when his team scored 51.  i guess henson fumbled that ball when the game should have been over too.

it was also likely henson's poor play that cost the game at purdue on a last second field goal. when his O scored 30+.  drew brees' team went to the rose bowl that year.

those were his two losses.

henson's year was the best i've ever seen by a UM QB.  lloyd had to put him in the illinois game after navarre dug a big hole.  and he single-handedly won that game.  denard has put up more stats, but that henson year was better for a QB.

That was the worst defense of any of Carr's teams. In addition to getting shredded by NW and Purdue, we had to outscore Illinois, OSU, and Auburn. We didn't give up too many points that year despite all the yards we gave up, but that was largely because the offense moved the ball so well and didn't turn it over.

henson threw only 4 INTs that entire year (7 for his career); 3 of which came against PSU in 2000.  he threw only 1 INT the other 8 games he played his senior year.  that's taking care of the ball.  he also averaged over NINE yds per attempt with 18 TDs.  that's absurdly good.

...and remember, that was his junior year.  i'm still mad about him leaving early, but he would have been foolish not to.

Henson in 2000 was very, very good.  There's no reason to downgrade what he did that year. If he hadn't missed the first 3.5 games with a foot injury, he would have been in the Heisman race.

I thought that Grbac, Collins, Griese, Brady, Navarre, and Henne were all outstanding college quarterbacks.

I think Denard is an amazing football player, and if he'd been fortunate enough to be in the right system consistently, he would have been more consistently effective. 

As it stands, he's given me as much awe and amazement in watching football as anybody I've ever seen. 

It's just darn hard to swallow a performance like Saturday from a senior qb. It does happen. People have bad days. All of the above qbs had bad games as a senior. It's just tough to have perspective after such a painful loss.

If you have ever played sports of any kind, you have had a bad day; Denard had one at a bad time. He's still the best skill position player since...when?, exactly? and he's still a great person off the field. He represents everything I love about Michigan.

Denard stood by Michigan when the easiest route was far from Ann Arbor, we should have the loyalty to do the same.

I, too, am impressed by Denard's loyalty, and wonder how many others might have chosen to leave if Denard had left.

I also believe (I haven't heard this anywhere, just a gut feeling) that the coaches have been loyal in return in developing him as an NFL prospect at quarterback. They have used all of the nonconference games to do so, and I believe this will continue into the B1G season, but  with a shorter leash, resorting sooner to utilizing his running skills if the passing game is a detriment.

I try to keep my frustration in check as much as possible, but can anyone please stand up and tell me they've done more for Michigan football, more for the University, or more for Ann Arbor than Denard Robinson?. I'm not denying that those people exist, but how long is that list?

Win or lose, if Michigan's roster is stocked with people of Denard Robinson's character, it will represent everything good about college athletics. He is truly a special person and athlete.

Yes.  I think we can all agree he had a horrible game, and you may go "ARGH DENARD" & that's ok.  I acknowledge he played poorly (well, he threw poorly.  He ran pretty well).  But at this point, he's morally tenured as far as I'm concerned.  I've bought in to Denard as a person and an athlete, and I'm willing to live & die by his actions.  He gets my unconditional support based on everything he's done already.  So, both things are true - terrible game, there's no way around it, but still a great man.  Let's go forward.
