Just think just because I live in Canada that I do not have access to television or cable? Why just last month, my dog wasn't eaten by our polar bear. To make things worse, I wake up to Celine Dion singing on the front yard and the Tim Horton's beside me ran out of maple dip donuts. Thank god I still have my Labatts!

Cant beat someone up for saying Labatt's. Thats what i used to call it. Waaay back when, the label said Labatt's, and the tv ad did as well.

Anyone know if it's cheaper at Kroger's or Meijer's?
I just watched the whole practice and Denard just stood around in a QB no-contact jersey. He didn't participate in any drills. Wasn't he supposed to be playing as a WR?
Is 1988 really waaayyy back when? According to my mp3 collection, it was only about 3 years ago.

Well
Well
It is my opinion then. That we are automatically better. Look at production from the qb, receivers, tight end, and even running backs when Gardner took over. They didn't magically learn how to play better. We just stopped facing 9en fronts with corners setting the edge first and defending passes after the fact with no passing threat. I think he had the numbers he had because his limitations kept us from doing anything else. Is he a great athlete? Absolutely. However, since he played qb, and was horrible at it, I don't consider him one of our best players ever prevent good for that matter. John Navarre had all our records before henne broke them. Would you consider him better than Grbac or leach or most of our Qbs? Oh well that whole high school offense era is now over. Go Blue
January 22nd, 2013 at 12:09 AM |
You're a fool. Even if you just assume
You're a fool. Even if you just assume
That our QB play will be greatly improved, there is not a single player on our roster next year that could be a better runner of the football than Denard. Did you see how much better a running back he was than anyone else on our roster despite never playing the position before? MAYBE we're better with someone else at QB, but there's no way the overall ability of that roster improves with the subtraction of Denard.

I hate that Denard was in an offense that was less than ideal for him these past two seasons, it's led to a lot of people feeling like a Michigan without Denard is a Michigan capable of winning more games (which right or wrong, sucks). That isn't a knock on Hoke or Borges, it's not easy to entirely rewrite your system for a guy, I just can't help but feel like we missed out on a couple Heisman-type seasons from Denard (health withstanding).

On the basis that we will
On the basis that we will
On the basis that we will improve greatly as a team, starting with out quarterback play and consistency, i definitely agree with you. The infatuation comes from him being a bright spot in a not so bright time for Michigan Football. He was a special player. The infatuation is natural. As I said though, I strongly agree with you on the basis that we take a big step forward in our offense.

"not so bright time"
"not so bright time"
We went 11-2 and won a BCS bowl in his junior year. In his senior year he got injured in the most important game of the year while driving to take the lead. If he had remained healthy and we had won that game the team is in the B1G title game facing a 3rd place team from the other division for a trip to the Rose Bowl. And that all came after being named the player of the year in the conference as a true sophomore.
It is spelled HOKEAMANIA. Our coach is an ass-kicking American citizen, not one of the Beatles, for Christ's sake!

Well in certain cases when someone's opinion is so obviously ridiculously wrong, then it is appropriate to say "shame on them". And in this case, he was absolutely wrong. I mean it's like when someone tries to argue that, I don't know, any country in the world is better than America. Or that golden retrievers are great dogs. Or that Big Ten Burrito is better than Pancheros. These 'opinions' are so ridiculously wrong that anybody who states them should be treated like the plague.

He didn't say he was a bad person just said our team is improved. It's not being mean. It's an opinion you just happen to not agree with.

I actually don't get your response
He is the all-time leader in rushing yards by a quarterback in NCAA history. That's a pretty major accomplishment. I'm pretty sure most fan-bases at other schools would be able to recognize that for what it is -- a big deal.
Even more, he also by all accounts appears to be a very good kid.
He may not have been the best passer, but he sure as hell is one of the best players we've ever had at Michigan.
And to say we're better off without him is crazy. Look at how versatile he was in those last few games and just imagine how awesome it would be to have another season of him providing that x-factor for us. We have no proven home-run threats on the team without him.

As far as real updates (from what I've heard), he was catching the ball and moving like Denard Robinson, but he didn't look natural at WR. Furthermore, he was wearing the yellow jersey because he hasn't been medically cleared yet. He's still wearing the sleeve. He is hopeful of being cleared for tomorrow.

Actual coverage? Thank you.
To confirm what you've heard, Detnews LINK. Kept out of contact because of same nerve injury. (If it's still a problem, will another day or two help? Certainly hope so.) Reports of good catches, but they're undefended. For some reason, draftniks want to see how he can catch when somebody's trying to stop him.
On the good news/bad news front: A WR coach praises his attitude, even without being able to play, asking the right questions, etc. Not surprising. Bad news is that WR coach is for the Raiders.

Yes, I know "Please, God, don't do that to Denard"..bla, bla, bla. There are worse things than playing with Megatron.
Anyhoo, I think he would be an awesome weapon as a slash type player no matter who drafts him. I really do see him as a Percy Harvin-type player at the next level. If Denard can develop receiving skills he ought to be a multiple-dimensional threat on the scale of Harvin.
I could see the Pats drafting him. Lord knows they need the speed and playmaking ability.
