Shane Morris: "not going to let (Rudock) take my job"
Interesting quote from him at the A4 camp today.
Shane Morris says he sees U-M starting QB job as his to lose. Says he knows Jake Rudock came to take his job, "but I'm not going to let him"
— Brendan F. Quinn (@BFQuinn) June 20, 2015I love this quote. Shows that Shane has some fire in him. I still have money on him starting @Utah.
But I'll bet you 5 mgopoints
So Morris will start..........but will Ruddock play?
Yeah I still have a hard time seeing Rudock not start though.
Shane was such a disaster last year. His ceiling may be higher, but the fundamentals just seem awful.
Rudock has been out there a lot longer.
Maybe Harbaugh can bring the best out of Shane, but it's not like Rudock won't benefit either.
That's how it should be. All the quarterbacks are going to fight each other for that coveted starting spot, and the competition will make them all better.
Well he better learn how to read a defense and not throw the ball 100mph on every throw or Rudock will take his job.
Good for him. It will be a simple case of the best man taking the job, and if he's ready to fight for it that's a good first step.
Hopefully this year, and the years going forward, Harbaugh is able to identify the QB who gives Michigan the best chance to win games.
I can understand the desire for continuity but it shouldn't be at the expense of having the best product on the field. Something I believe we spent the better part of the last ten years learning.
not that you would want to as a junior, but we could still have a year of Rudock and two of Shane.
"I would rather have two years of Shane rather than 1 year of Rudock."
Don't sleep on O'Korn. He'll win the job next year and keep the job for two years!
Really solid?
IDK about all that, I'd like to think with better talent around Ruddock would be a better QB then he was at Iowa. He doesn't turn the ball over a bunch, but he's not going to light it up and win you any games with his arm. He's a game manager at best. I think Morris has the ability to win some games with his arm.
I like his moxie. On the other hand I hope he hasn't developed a sense of entitlement.

I still think it's Rudock's job to lose, in reality.
2016 is when we'll have more of a QB battle IMO.
Agree with you,
But I love it that he feels that way!
That's what I want to see, go get 'em!!!

Great attitude, hope that means harder work on his part and hopefully that translates to better on-field results for him. He has these 2 years to try and build his legacy, it is all up to him. He will only be better due to the Harbaugh mantra of competition, competition, competition.
I would love for Morris to compete with Rudock enough that he can at least get some experience this year, and hopefully show he is a competant option going into his senior season.
They won't be on the field at the same time, and short of sabotaging each other and thus the team, any animosity that pushes both of them to be the best they can be is a good thing. Time to set aside touchy feely things and man up.
If Rudock can't handle Morris speaking up for himself, then maybe Harbaugh bought a pig in a poke. But I don't think that's the case.
You don't transfer your 5th year to be a backup. You do it to play.

I don't see anything he said to take issue with. He didn't compare himself to Rudock or say anything negative about his abiities. He said something very similar to what players say publicly all the time.
Those who stay ....
Will get Harbaughed or go home.
Good to here some noise from Shane hope he takes on the challenge.
I believe he will be better because everyone will be better.
There is still a lot of good undeveloped talent on this roster .
I don't care who starts day 1 because I know coach will put out the best man. But if Shane does win the job how shitty would Jake feel? I guess he wasn't going to start 100% at Iowa, but he could have gone someone to start.
