Tate Forcier =...

Submitted by IBleedMaizeNBlue on October 27th, 2008 at 10:24 AM

Though this may be extremely premature, do you know who Tate Forcier reminds me of? A guy who was undersized, ran the spread in high school, ridiculously high completion percentage, came on the threshold of his team's conversion to the spread, ousted a 4-star Pro Style QB recruit. That guy's name is Chase Daniel. I see good things on the horizon.

PS: Anybody see JB Fitzgerald's special teams plays! Kid is going to be good!

this year has turned to optimism about next year already. That being said, I am really looking forward to seeing Tate in the Maize and Blue.

I haven't heard how he's doing this year, has me maintained the high stat level?

Forcier is "only" completing about 64% of his passes (the last time I heard), as opposed to 77% last year. But I didn't expect him to keep those same stats, since 77% is absurd.

Colt McCoy apparently doesn't think 77% is absurd.

He always puts up the different recruits stats for the week. If Forcier doesn't throw for 300 and run for another 100 yds it is considered a bad week for him. He also plays in one of the toughest high school divisions there is out there.

I believe this is wrong; Tate's competetion is questionable; Beaver plays in Division 4A football in Texas, which is a very difficult division.

it seemed that he was palying in one of the better divisions. I don't know HS nationally that well, if you could help me out by providing more info on the league he is in I would appreciate it. Maybe I was getting it confused with Beavers League? I know Texas is where it is at when it comes to HS football and anytime your team is on ESPN2 that says a lot right there.

I have spoken with Tate numerous times. He does some sort of schooling where he is allowed to have a tutor, and be out of the class room. This allows him to train more than the average kid, and he has been working with one of the best QB coaches since he was little. His dad says Tate is going to be one of the best, out of the brothers, and Fred Jackson compared his arm to Chad Henne's. If you've ever watched film on him, he is very good at everything a Michigan Spread Offense requires of a QB. The coaches told him he is more of a QB that can run, than a running QB. Nothing but good news on him.

He will be a mixture of Tom Brady, John Elway, and a Unicorn. That's what I see.

Tate Forcier will be even forcier than Jason, who was pretty forcy but not the forciest. I really wish we still had Loeffler tho to coach him. I mean, how hard would it be to get him back from the Lions?!

Beaver and Tate both run well, both run 4.55, but it seems like Beaver has not as accurate arm as Tate, but it seems like in Beavers junior year he threw for more touchdowns but was more inaccurate and threw for more yards compared to Tate who threw for less and ran for more touchdowns and yards. Tate also had a freakin 77 percent completion rating compared to Beavers 61.

Yes, lets set up high expectations so when he doesnt start next year, or leads us to only 4 wins next year, we can all burn him at the stake.

Not even possible. Michigan wins - bare minimum - 13 games next year. Maybe even 14 since, according Albert "Dantonio" Einstein, the MSU-UM game counts for more than just one game.

Drew Brees. 6' tall, somewhat mobile, and most importantly white. Senior year Troy Smith as a potential cieling, somewhat mobile, great passer, 6' tall. But that violates the rule where you can only compare players of the same race.
