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, 2015If he wants to play in the NFL, he's going to get the best coaching he could ask for. Going somewhere else and starting isn't likely to get him to the NFL if he's not good enough to win the job here. He's a serious student, who wants to attend medical school. The year spent here is more valuable for that career than most places he could have gone.

A QB spitting competitive piss and vinegar ... music to Harbaugh's ears.

Luckily Rudock is used to it as Iowa basically had 1 Darboh type (well better than Darboh) and a bunch of guys not dissimilar to our crew now. So he has the advantage of being forced to play in a system where the WRs dont jump off the page.
...the only legit game to judge Morris on his the KSU bowl game.
He had a month of 1st team reps in a half competent offense and handled his first start in a high pressure situation and for a true freshman did pretty darn good. Now he's getting 6 months of "1st team reps" (I realize there's no formal practice but he's still getting the leadership experience and working timing with receivers)with Harbaugh's coaching and gameplan.
Morris maybe an overhyped arm without the touch to ever be efficient enough to be successful but nothing that he has or hasn't done so far even comes close to proving that.
And you know Jim loves that competitive spirit.
Plus a "Morris Resurrection" into a B1G Champ would go a loooong way to erase the incompetence of last year; not to mention be an awesome "those who stay" story.

With the first pick in the 2017 NFL draft, the Santa Clara 49erz take Shane Morris, quarterback, Michigan.

...but Utah might or ORST or UNLV or BYU......
Morris to Rudock:
Rudock to Morris:
That's the exact right attitude to have and the reason Harbaugh is bringing in so many QBs. Even if you have a good QB, having others to keep them competing makes them better.

Good good that what I want to see.
Competition will bring out the best in them. May the best QB win.
I don't mind seeing a comment like this from Shane. He knows that he has to step his game up in order to start at Utah. It seems like he is bent on doing just that.

Hey kuruk, no offense, aside from all the offense intended, but FUCK YOU!
How's he supposed to show it when games don't even start for a few months?
I'm not sure what you meant by "more action" then, unless you're implying that Shane isn't working hard enough to earn the job which I highly doubt and I think these words suggest that.
I dont see why this quote is thread worthy - I'd expect anyone to think this on the team.
But in Shane's case he has done little to nothing on the football field and sometimes it is better to carry a bit stick and speak softly. I think that is what the guy you are responding to is probably implying. If he was a returning starter with a year with 24 TDs and 11 INT and 2300 yards at least he would have something to back up the words. He has nothing really - it's either awesome bravado or empty rhetoric depending on your viewpoint.
I am with that view - and what Harbaugh says - he says we don't want to talk about it, we want to be about it. Be about it Shane.
This is how it begins. Harbaugh already has these kids foaming at the mouth to compete and it's not even August. The laid back Hoke regime is fully over. Time to battle for your jobs, gents, or they will get taken from you.
Good this what I want to see COMPETITION.
Whoever starts this year (Rudock) is just keeping the seat warm for Vicious.

With attitude like that, whoever starts at QB will have earned it. Fierce competition will only make everyone better.

... But it's not Shane's job yet. He hasn't been named the starter nor has he been named the leader (at least from my inside sources). I like the attitude but he hasn't earned the right to lose a job he doesn't even have.

...that came from Harbaugh before we even had Ruddock. From my inside sources, things have changed somewhat from the spring game. Not going into all the details, but its not Shane's job...not even close. But he will have all opportunity to earn it.
