Sam Webb Believes Morris Starts Saturday?

I have Shane in class and he was studying the playbook as well as Minnesota's depth chart in class yesterday. I have had him in class every semester and this was the first time I have seen him do this. It might just be a conincidence but regardless if he starts or not I wish him the best of luck come Saturday.  

I cannot even read this board anymore without getting deepressed.  I read about how DG should and will be replaced by Morris and I shake my F'n head.  DG is not playing as well as he should and I am sure no one will deny that including Devin, but MFG (My Fucking GOD) the issue is not him.  

So many talk about the ND game and seem to say, look at all his turnovers, he played terrible, kept giving the ball to the Irish.  Somewhat valid on its face but was I in an alternate universe?  When I watched, it was 21 - 0 at the end of the 1st half and DG and the Wolverines had not turned the ball over.  His first INT, which looked to me like Hill and DG read the defense differently, led to another 7 points but really after being down 21-0, I almost do not give a fuck, sling the dam ball around and dam the consequences.  21 pts - 2 qtrs to make it up, I cannot confirm this but I would think 95%+ of all teams would lose the game if they had 4 qtrs to make up a 21 point deficit let alone 2.  So acting like Devin lost the ND game is bullshit.  

Against Miami (OH) not saying the throw was great, but his pic was tipped at the line then went through Chesson's hands, then was intercepted, it was not a "what the fuck" get him out play.  BTW, Michigan won by 24 pts.

Against Utah, the 2 pics - that sucked and on the 2nd I have no idea who DG was trying to throw to but is DG the real reason shit went to hell and now the sky is falling?

Now I know for the "We Need Morris" crew , against Miami (OH) DG also smacked the replay guy in the eye so he could not see that Darboh's knee touched while the ball was still in possession, and I know that DG also ran out there on the kick return team and called for the ball at the last second making for the fumbled kickoff too.  

And For the "Morris Crew" I understand against Utah that DG probably told Funchess before his 1st throw that was picked, "Funch, if you do not catch this with only one hand, I will never throw to you again", I am pretty sure the "Morris gang" have evidence that DG told everyone he was going to be on the punt team then decided he did not want to cover punts (the other 10 players did not seem to want to cover it either), and I know the for "Team Morris" they probably have a video of DG at halftime telling Matti he would be DC but then realized after the Utes went down the field in like 3 plays for a score that he did not want to coordinate anymore.  I understand "Morris Klan", DG is the biggest issue and maybe the only one.  We can all agree "Put in Shane - get rid of the pain". 

Now no doubt, his throw looked absolutely terrible on TV and he looked completely frustrated when running to the sideline to discuss what happened with Nuss, but I have to believe the frustration was there becasue of some mis-communication between himself and a receiver because there was not one in the area when shown on the set, and that has to be fixed, but bringing in Shane in is not the way to fix it.  I mean the pic when Shane came in and threw was no better, though a receiver was in the area, he had a defender in front of him and tightly behind, the only thing that could have hit the reciever was a magic bullet fired by Oswald.

Does Devin have to do better? - Yes.

Does Devin deserve better? - YES.

I like Shane and I hope he will do well when his time comes, that time should not be now though.  I have thought Hoke would right the ship from day 1, but if he starts Morris in my opinion he is no longer the man for the job for he does not realize the issues that are truly at hand, like so many others.

Then again maybe my depression due more to the things on this blog then anything else, has me in no mental state to have an opinion on anything.

No matter who is in there though -

For roughly 7 years, UM has been without a pro style QB.   Some of you younger posters may have forgot what it was to have a accurate passing QB.  Denard, bless his heart could not hit the broad side of a barn with a pass.  DG is slightly better but in his 15-16 games has not hit a reciever in stride or completed a deep ball in his UM career.   This system prevents him from using his skill sets, (Roll out passes and QB runs).   He is gone next year and will neither help himself or the team at QB.   The primary issue however you cut it is the QB position.  If your QB can't accurately pass, he will face 8-9 man fronts with mega blitzing.   Recievers can be single covered all day.   Your run game goes no where, three and outs are abundant and at some point your defense gets hyperextended.   MSU DC wrote the book on defending Michigan with DG.   KSU, ND, and Utah took notes.   Its comical to hear commentators complain about UM running woes.   8-9 man fronts, Linebackers and safety close enough to the line to get called for encroachment.  DG must be a fabulous teamate and Im sure he is a wonderful guy.  Degree in 3 years with probally 1-2 Masters degrees so far.  Oregon just showed the world MSU's defensive weakness.  Mariotta's accurate passes opened up that pressure defense with  pinpoint passing.   State had to totally back there safety's off and go to nickel packages.  DG will never get that respect.
