Milton & Patterson at Throw It Deep 3 weeks ago (not substantive)
Co-worker's son saw Milton and Patterson at the Throw It Deep QB camp he was also at about 3 weeks ago. Son said Milton was a stud and making insane throws. He was not as impressed with Patterson but clarified that he still looked good. No other insight.
If I knew how to put a gif here, i'd put the one of jennifer lawrence giving the thumbs up and saying ok.
I got you covered.
I've seen that gif a million times. That's Jennifer Lawrence? I guess I only recognize her as Katniss Everdeen. I'm old.
I mean Milton hype is pretty insane. Didn't he have a sub 50 completion percentage coming out of HS? And all of a sudden he is Robohenne? Skeptical...yet I'll eat any intel at this point. #footballseasonyet
He’s got a cannon and he’s throwing to kids at a local high school. I am imagining kids I went to high school with trying to catch passes from stafford throwing as hard as he can, and they drop most of them.
Like this?
FWIW, Milton went to the same HS as Deondre Francois. Francois had a sub-50% completion percentage his junior year. Could just be that he's playing for a talent deficient program.
Milton was a mid level 4* with those completion numbers. That doesn't happen unless he has a lot of talent and potential. What's surprising is how fast things seem to be coming together for him.
I agree. Almost every report I read about Michigan says “One good quarterback away.” This is not just an mgoblog statement either. I also know this is true for any program, but I’m looking at the depth we are building now and am very pleased.
Now this is just me babbling, but if the OL improves to a top 30 unit this year, I’m not worried about our offense moving forward. If Warinner = Don Brown, then pay the man whatever he wants.
More babbling: I’m really of the opinion that this season is going to be something special. I also think the silence from Harbaugh on social media and in the press makes me think he does too. I’m imagining a “What’s your deal?” moment for him with Danktiano and a giggling with glee handshake with whatever fecal matter ends up coaching Ohio State this year. We are going to the playoffs and the road is paved. This is the year.
"I’m imagining a “What’s your deal?” moment for him with Danktiano"
I hope not, that would legitimize MSU in their eyes. A win against them should be no different than a win against any other B1G team except OSU.

I know I will come off as a dick for saying this, but since 2010 Michigan State has 3 B1G titles. We haven't won a B1G title since 2004. They don't need validation, they've already validated themselves. However, they are a dirty shit stained program and they just need to have their ass kicked this year by Michigan in their concrete sewer stadium. It is time to put things back to normal.

Patterson is a transfer, not a grad transfer, so he could be at UM more than just one year. I have to disagree with you if it's close between Patterson and Milton. Do you want a QB with no collegiate experience starting or one who has been a starter in the SEC previously?
I agree. My gut feeling is Michigan will surpass win expectations this season. I see an OL that has the tools and coaching to finally come together and remind of Michigan OL's of yore. I see a ton of younger and older, talented guys on both sides of the ball that gained experience last season. I see another Don Brown coached defense but with 'dudes' galore, as many dudes as we've had in the past 20 years. And I see the QB spot taking a significant leap forward.
I'd actually take Robohenson over Robohenne. Just sayin.
Give me Roborobinson.
Why on Earth would no one want Robotommfbrady??
OK if I ask for RoboRickLeach?
Can something be considered peak offseason after camp has started? Because if it can, secondhand vague QB reports from a camp I have never heard of has to be it.
LOL Go Blue!
This seems like peak early camp, where there's no information and everyone is desperate for anything substantive (h/t to the OP for the "not substantive" warning).
What did he say about LT?
I mean Milton is definitely more physically impressive than Patterson, but that doesn't mean he's the better QB at the moment
Exactly. Jay Cutler had a stronger arm and was more athletic/mobile than Tom Brady.
I'll take decision-making and accuracy under pressure any day over "physical impressiveness" or "cannon arm". Now if Milton had both of those attributes........
So you're saying your son thinks Milton will be the starter for ND?
I opened this post expecting to see the camp was run by Rex Grossman. I was sorely disappointed.
And by Rex Grossman, you mean the OG RGIII?
I miss Kissing Suzy Kolber so much
I'm sure she misses you too..../s
Well it was the "throw it deep" camp. It's been widely discussed that Milton can throw the ball 80 yds, but can he read a defense or hit a receiver in stride?
Yes, he can
Against the toughest team he faced as a senior in high school, last year, he was 8 for 30, 96 yds, 0 TDs, 4 INT, and a 0.8 QB rating.
Go away, Debbie Downer.
Thanks for sharing and making the post content clear in the title.
I think this is another intriguing report on Milton's strong arm. I really look forward to his development, and I'll bet we see him bomb a few against SMU or whoever with these new redshirt rules.
I thought there would be interest that they were both at that camp and not the focus on an aspiring high school QB claimed Milton looked better but that both were good...as an aside, I am looking to cut the cord, any recommendations? Haven't seen anything on the board...
We only talk about cutting "chords" here not cords buddy...
I'm not sure what you mean. This have something to do with music?
A cut chord is a chord so ripped it doesn't need the third
Is this really thread worthy? Are we really doing a deep dive into third party comments twice removed as thread starters?
Does "(Not Substantive)" in the title yell at you "DON'T LOOK IN HERE. THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE"
When news finally starts coming out of fall camp the board will look a lot different.
Hope springs eternal!!!

No, it is not thread worthy. I wish I could downvote posts for shitty posts like this.
"My coworker saw Michigan's practice and saw something that isn't believable! Look at me!"

Would you rather have another Urban thread?
I hear Milton killed himself a bear when he was only 3
Man, is that ever an exaggeration. He was 3 and a half.
No, Mocha Cub.
It was only a Cub he killed
Best Michigan QB is always the one who is not playing...
This is incredibly accurate. It seems like yesterday that people wanted to bench Speight for Peters. Before that it was Gardner for Morris. Before that it was Henne for Mallett.
I hope to enjoy Milton's Heisman campaign.... in 2021.
By then most of the MGoBoard will be screaming for Cade McNamara. Or RoboRickLeach.
