Unless we pick up pieces offensively in the portal, we know how defenses will play us. They will load the box like never before and say “throw the ball and beat us”. I don’t know if we win that fight.
Just crazy to me that Harbaugh was only able to recruit and develop one elite QB. All other quarterbacks he brought in were flaming turds or just average at best B10 QB’s.
This is a Blog…people can Disagree with me all day long. I welcome it. Furthermore, I can disagree with their takes on my thoughts. It’s a college football blog. It’s not that important to make anyone “look a certain way”.
LOL. I love you my man, but that is a HORRIBLE take. You think Oriji is Milroe? How many games has Oriji played? How many snaps? How completions? How many games did he win?
Why in the world some people extrapolate Oriji running nothing but gimmicky plays (literally that’s all they were) and think that equates to him be a functional QB and being a QB as good as / in the ballpark of Milroe is ludicrous.
Let’s look at reality. Other than JJ McCarthy, how has Harbaugh’s QB that he’s recruited fared? The answer…not very well. Literally outside of JJ, they all have been incredibly poor and JH had to resort to the transfer portal to get just a functional QB.
Also, You can’t be a good running team unless you have an effective quarterback. You can be a running team and not be a very good football team without an effective quarterback. I’m speaking from a perspective of having a football team that could compete for the Big Ten championship.
Go read the “Offensive tidbits” from last week. It is clear from what the players who are interviewed that there is no clear front runner at quarterback. Considering the quarterbacks on the roster, that is not a good thing.
Also, there’s a reason they didn’t trust him to throw the ball one single time. That being Origi.
No offense, but that offense could be stopped by any adequate defense. You simply sell out on the run and make them throw the ball to beat you.
If an offense could be functional and effective looking like the one you are suggesting, every team would do that. We would / will have massive problems if what you propose happens.
I continue to stand by the fact that if any QB on our roster ends up being our actual starting QB, it will not be a good thing.
UMx…I totally agree with you that baseball seems to be losing a lot of interest. Maybe not in the major metro areas in the country, but I see a lot more kids wearing Premier League jerseys than baseball.
I am here at Tiger Stadium. Dan Petry is starting and Tom Brookins is looking sharp in the field. Rupert Jones is up at the plate with Darryl Evans on deck.
Sigh....when the Tigers stole my heart in 1984. I was in 3rd grade at Johnson Elementary in Milford, MI. Following year, we moved (ironically) to San Diego.
Price is ridiculous. Give me a handshake, a picture with him and a signature and that is fair value. But dropping off an item and not even seeing him sign it!? That is just really weird.
Horrible take. All that matters is if you can say he is a “Beast”…like Oriji. Who cares about intangibles, leadership, arm talent, decision making, mental aptitude for the position, etc. If he isn’t a “Beast” he is sure to fail.
Origi is a special athlete, but that means nothing if you don’t have arm talent, can read defenses, are accurate, can be a great leader, can protect the football and be efficient with the football.
So far Origi has shown not one ounce of evidence he can do this. I hope he becomes a special QB.

Sounds a lot like Tuttle.
Is it “Gach” like “hatch” or “Gach” like “Bach”? We need to know.
They will be better than Michigan BBall 2024. That’s all I care about.
We need a “Hoke Like” Commit-a-Palooza!!! How many did we get that one weekend? Like 8 commits?
He looks completely lost. He is not a Michigan QB.

Ditto man. Here in NC it’s freaking gorgeous.
Hilarious Rob!!!
But Oriji is a “Beast”. That’s all that matters. He can run 67mph. Let put him at QB with 2 RB’s and a FB. Defenses won’t be able to stop us!!!

That being said, THANK YOU Jim for JJ and a NC!
The deal isn't done yet...don't go counting your chickens until they hatch.

Are you inferring that Oriji is Jalen Milroe?
Just having fun sharing my opinion on a blog. I don’t find that odd at all. In fact, that’s the purpose of a blog.

Just name one fantastic offense that looks like the one you’re proposing. Let me save you your answer…there isn’t one.
He would instantly be our starter if he came.

Can’t stop watching Burns. I love that guy. Hoping NC State can come back and get the “W”.
I wore #13 all through my athletic career solely because of Lance Parrish.

let’s just move along and enjoy a nice non political Thursday.

I decided to enter the portal too.
He is Risen!!! Beyond all hope…for if He hasn’t I would still be dead in my sins.
I second not finding Staley likable…and that really is a Compliment of sorts. I don’t know many elite level coaches that are likable.
Price is ridiculous. Give me a handshake, a picture with him and a signature and that is fair value. But dropping off an item and not even seeing him sign it!? That is just really weird.
To be fair, Loveland isn’t going to say anything other than “Oriji looks good” if asked…even if he thinks otherwise.
Yeah, Pete Rose was a horrible pitcher.

I love the hire...but unless he is getting "Georgia Resources" to do this job at Michigan, don't expect the same results he got at Georgia.
Horrible take. All that matters is if you can say he is a “Beast”…like Oriji. Who cares about intangibles, leadership, arm talent, decision making, mental aptitude for the position, etc. If he isn’t a “Beast” he is sure to fail.
/S
I would pull a John Elway / Eli Manning to avoid going to the Commanders.
Fantastic hire. Decent value. Excited about mens BB.
The cultural angle is only problematic unless it is wrong.
Agreed! I would love for him to have one tremendously special season.
It really is fascinating to hear about kids with just freak speed and athleticism that just can't put it together on the field. Best of luck to him.
You are unfortunately correct. That is why I believe Campbell didn’t definitively say “No. We will not be taking another QB from the portal. Period”.
Origi is a special athlete, but that means nothing if you don’t have arm talent, can read defenses, are accurate, can be a great leader, can protect the football and be efficient with the football.
So far Origi has shown not one ounce of evidence he can do this. I hope he becomes a special QB.
Bang that Basketball is over.
Rockets. I like Rockets.
Well how bout that.
Bro…Bro…I trust you.
