Shane holding his own?
Fogive me if this isn't relevant (as it is a tweet of an opinion of a person who knew of a friend that saw) and oh this is my first post so i get a mulligan if i shank it ..
But according to Gregg Henson the battle is going strong, and looks like Morris is leading

Just got word that Morris is better than Rudock, I am stunned. https://t.co/udj7uc8kko

Why? Too accurate for you? He called Harbaugh and Nike.

I have said all along that Morris may very well beat out Rudock and that I feel he isn't nearly as bad as the David Brandon offense made him look last year. I have always felt that Morris' "problems" were more a lack of coaching and a dogshit offense to play in than the perceived "lack of talent."
I'm glad to hear he is doing so well. I won't be the least bit surprised if he gets the starting job.
August 10th, 2015 at 6:39 PM ^
He was inaccurate nor did he make good decisions. At the time I chalked it up to him battling mono.
In no way is he like Harbaugh.

He also called the Hoke hire and the Brandon firing. In general I find Gregg Henson to be a bloviating ignoramus, but he clearly has people in the know when it comes to Michigan football.

Being trollish and having insightful inside information are not mutually exclusive.
August 10th, 2015 at 4:08 PM ^
I don't care one way or the other, but I smell some confirmation bias here.
He seems to get a lot of credit for calling a few things that were not so unlikely anyway. And other things he's been wrong about don't get mentioned anymore. If my null hypothesis is that Henson just throws stuff up against the wall at random, I'm not convinced that it can be rejected.
August 10th, 2015 at 6:17 PM ^
I kind of like the dude, even though I don't agree with his politics. He says exactly what he thinks and doesn't pull punches, and he has informed opinions on things other than sports. I find that refreshing.

You say he calls "a lot" wrong and you proceed to mention just one thing.
August 10th, 2015 at 4:25 PM ^
I would think getting recruiting wrong happens all the time as 17/18 year old kids change their mind often. Sam Webb also gets a lot of the recruiting wrong, once again trying to predict where these young men finally sign might be tougher than playing the stock market.

Whoa muppets.. He invented muppets, we play muppets when we win.

Anyone who spells "Greg" with an extra "g" cannot be trusted.

Who gives a damn about day 1. I don't want the QB who performed better in the first day of camp...I want the best QB on the team to start.
That can be Morris, Rudock, Malzone or Kenny Allen...I don't care as long as it's the best we have available, no bullshit, no politics and that QB comes in and wins football games.
All practice buzz should be ignored for at least a week.
August 10th, 2015 at 2:36 PM ^
I give a damn about Day 1. Because there has been..... 1 day. And quite frankly after 1 day you can't really comment on who has been better all camp or who is the best heading into game 1. So after 1 day why does everyone always jump on the guy who wants to talk about what happened on day 1???
I am sure even the OP will be happy to talk QBs after the whole camp is over, and I am further sure that he will never say "I can't believe Harbaugh is starting "XXX", didn't he see what Henson said after Day 1".
August 10th, 2015 at 4:09 PM ^
We're basically saying the same thing...only you care about day 1, but like me...you care to weigh all of camp more than 1 day.
You got my point so I'm not going to argue with you, we agree that the entire camp means more than the first day - and that's all I was trying to say.

Is Kenny Allen our kicker, or did I eat the wrong brownies again?
August 10th, 2015 at 2:01 PM ^
that this would mean that Morris is playing up and not Ruddok playing down, which is how the tweet reads. Even if this is early, it is great to have competition at QB. I'll be the first to admit, I never thought Denard would start over Tate. Denard worked his ass off in the off season to fight for the starting spot. If Shane was able to do the same, that's great news for us. For the first two weeks I hope to hear nothing but strong competitiion between the QBs.

Well, there's no stock for sale now or in a month... this is just some opinion based on the very limited information that is available. Take it or leave it.
Its not a big deal, but it feels like a lot of people who are like "this doesn't mean anything" also probably think Morris sucks and doesn't have a chance to start
August 10th, 2015 at 3:42 PM ^
He had a full set of spring practices to learn the playbook while being coached by the Harbaugh and staff.
He's had much more time to work with the receivers, and thus is more familiar with timing and what they can or can not do.
Frankly, if Shane wasn't holding his own right now, he'd be done.
Water is wet, yes? End of camp - what do they look like end of camp ...
August 10th, 2015 at 4:32 PM ^
Isn't today the first full day of pads? Come back to me in a week or two with this info. Shane's biggest issue is consistency.
Exactly.
Morris has always looked good throwing the ball in practice. Where he goes south is third and nine in a game situation under an intense blitz. That's when he gets the yips and tries to rely on just gunning the ball as hard as he can in the general area of the receiver.
There's no way that scenario has been fully vetted in just the first day of pads. Come back in a few weeks and we'll see.
August 10th, 2015 at 1:40 PM ^
Morris has been throwing to these receivers for a long time. Of course he is going to look better initially. Rudock's value is not throwing to the opposing team.
August 10th, 2015 at 2:32 PM ^
I can't see why we can't believe that Harbaugh has the kid heading in the right direction. He was a great recruit. Did great at the 7-7 camps. He has the size and the arm to be great. We now have a coach that used to be a QB for crying out loud. Let's give the guy some credit...

We're going to trade Morris to Georgia for a 4-star recruit and he's going to take them to their first major bowl in seven years?
August 10th, 2015 at 1:40 PM ^
rudock has no actual time in the system. I would be surprised if he was better day 1
August 10th, 2015 at 1:40 PM ^
He was shown first in the way too old practice video I posted, so I'm sold.
Is Greg Henson accepted round these parts? I get confused.
August 10th, 2015 at 1:47 PM ^
He called Harbaugh and Nike. I think some people are jealous of him and his sources. He's never been wrong.
August 10th, 2015 at 1:55 PM ^
He was wrong on Harbaugh's salary and the entire staff. I take his info with a grain of salt...
August 10th, 2015 at 2:06 PM ^
Even "respected" journalists were wrong on Harbaugh's salary, and our own MGoBlog bloggers reported certain staff hires that turned out not to be true.
