People stop it. He was our BEST WR at the time - and that was the biggest game of the year to that point.

I don't fault the coaches - you can't assume Denard is going to get hurt.

Jeremy Gallon has always been our best receiver. There's a pretty good case for putting Dileo in over Gardner, which actually happened this year.

Gardner was a starter and playing very well.

All of you guys are suggesting that we should've prepared him to be the BACKUP QB instead of the STARTING WR.

That makes no sense.

So if we lose - with a healthy Denard, and Gardner watches the game from the bench just in case Denard gets hurt instead of helping Denard on the field. Who do you blame then?

Again, you can't assume Denard is going to get hurt.

Armchair coaches - gotta love em.

Yeah, Drew Dileo replaced Gardner's receiver spot going into the MSU game. And I didn't say anything about Gardner being a backup QB. I'm giving Gallon his due credit.

Did you know that was somewhat of a busted play? Denard was in the gun and should've been under center or vice versa.

Stop it people. With the Nebraska...now Bama?

That was the FIRST game of the year. You think Gardner would hoenstly be prepared to take on the #1 team in the nation in the first game of the year?

Also, did you take into account that Bama had ALL summer to scheme for Michigan? They had 1 week to prepare for TAMU who they played midseason, a QB who had multiple games under his belt --- more than Garnder would've had vs. Bama.
