Could Michigan win tomorrow with me as the QB?
Seeing as Jake Rudddock may or may not be healthy enough to start tomorrow, I felt this would be an appropriate question.
If I were to start as the QB for Michigan tomorrow and play the entirety of the game, would Michigan still win?
I guess in this exercise, my abilities as a QB are probably pretty inconsequential. For a random person off the street, I'd be a 8.5/10 in terms of QB abilities. You probably wouldn't mind having me on your flag football team, but I wouldn't wow anyone either. In terms of a college QB, though, I would be a -6/10. I don't know the scheme. I haven't played organized football in 13 years (and 50 lbs).
The real point of this post is to determine whether people think that Michigan can pull off a win despite any and all shortcomings at the QB position. Should we be worried if Jake is in street clothes, or should we still be able to shrug it off and expect a comfortable win?

Wow, as I scrolled down slowly, I REALLY did not expect to see this hefty male... Thank you for a good belly laugh!

just throw out peppers and have him go 1 vs 11. We'd still win.

Haha. Yes. Please see the Uncle Rico post below and approximate from there.

Plus, we know he already eats steak....or at least knows how to throw it...?
November 6th, 2015 at 11:00 AM ^
Someone needs to photoshop Harbaugh's face onto Uncle Rico, like, now.

As a current Idaho resident, I find great pleasure in Napolean Dynamite references. Keep 'em coming!

I put the odds of 1484 actually being Shane Morris at 3:1.
November 6th, 2015 at 11:00 AM ^
Is that you Denard?
November 6th, 2015 at 11:16 AM ^
Nah, I'm Sam McGuffie.
November 6th, 2015 at 10:52 AM ^
Undoubtably. And I actually appreciate this question.
November 6th, 2015 at 11:19 AM ^
That is the nicest thing anyone has said to me on the internet.

We're just two misunderstood souls.

Is 1484 Tom Brady? Would help me in answering this question.

Correct.
November 6th, 2015 at 10:55 AM ^
If so, we may have a spot for you.
November 6th, 2015 at 10:56 AM ^
But I have the utmost confidence that Speight, Morris, Malzone or even Dan Cleary, scratch that, especially Dan Cleary would lead Mich to victory tomorrow.
The good news is that Rurgers wouldn't lose musch worse if you where THEIR QB.
November 6th, 2015 at 11:03 AM ^
He's a little old, but let's get Dan Cleary over to AA from GR now
November 6th, 2015 at 11:09 AM ^
As long as we don't have to see him on the Wings anymore
November 6th, 2015 at 11:44 AM ^
Whoever he is, he's a smarty pants from UofD Jesuit and he can identify a MIKE LB, but apparently I can't idenify a Brian QB.
November 6th, 2015 at 11:07 AM ^
November 6th, 2015 at 10:57 AM ^
Can you identify a MIKE LB?
November 6th, 2015 at 11:13 AM ^
Singletary, Kendricks, Wilhoite.
November 6th, 2015 at 11:04 AM ^
Michigan would line you up at QB every play, but then motion you to split out to keep your dumb ass from screwing up the play and run Peppers as wildcat QB. With an average athlete with average football IQ, I think we could pull it off. Based on this stupid question though and the fact you spelled Rudock with 3 D's, I don't think we could pull it off with you. So the answer is no.
November 6th, 2015 at 11:02 AM ^
November 6th, 2015 at 11:03 AM ^
at everything and we would lose by 100 by mere association with you

Yes.
Just approach the line of scrimmage, confidently scan the Rutgers defense, yell "Omaha, Omaha" a few times, then hand off to the RB du jour.
Also, please practice the quick-hitting FB dive play ad nauseum.

1484:
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 275
40 Time: 3 Days, 4 Hours, 7 Minutes and 39 Seconfs (0 Fakes out of 5)
Offers: Please go away here's $5
YMRMFPSA: David Cone or Jobba the Hutt
Why David Cone? If you cut off David Cone's Legs and Arms and strapped a 300 LB sack of sand to his back you would basically have 1484. His vision is great, but there is the no arms caveat.
November 6th, 2015 at 11:26 AM ^
1484:
Height: 6'4"
Weight: 285 (you underestimated)
40 Time: The are probably 3 players in the NFL I would beat in a footrace at this point in my life
Offers: Had a few D3 as a soccer goalie
YMRMFPSA: Blake O'Neill attempting a fake punt
David Cone does not apply. He is a far superior rapper to me.
November 6th, 2015 at 11:45 AM ^
And all three had ACL surgery yesterday?
November 6th, 2015 at 11:48 AM ^
Touche. Never thought about that. Gimme an IR list. I bet I can beat half of the leg injuries in a footrace. Plus I'd destroy Jason Pierre Paul in rock, scissors, paper.

Needs more evaluation, please answer the following questions:
1) Do you get 8 hours of sleep or more a night?
2) Do you drink milk, WHOLE milk?
3) Do you drink enough water?
4) Do you have a robust vitamin regimen, including STEAK?
Ah hell. As long as we get about 10 plays with Peppers at Wildcat we'll be fine regardless.
November 6th, 2015 at 11:30 AM ^
1) No. Not even close.
2) No, but I eat a lot of cheese. Not that 2% shit either.
3) Actually, yes. Coffee, water, and beer are the only liquids that get into this temple...
4) Steak, yes. All the others no. Been eating a lot of Starburst since the kids went Trick-or-treating. Do those have Vitamin C?

I'll bet I could lose the game for UM if I was quarterbacking. I would find a way. I'd say there would be a 1 in 3 chance every play that I turn the ball over if I'm asked to throw, and only a 1 in 10 chance of an actual completion - deep balls and anything remotely challenging are not on the menu for me. I'm sure Harbaugh would game plan for this and make me hand it off every play, but I would still deliver a sub-optimal handoff probably 3 out of 4 times because I don't know where the RB is going and I'm not used to how quickly the play develops. I'd estimate a 1 in 5 chance of me fumbling the handoff every play. So our offense has become slightly less than 1-dimensional, and our 1 dimension is handicapped significantly. Our blocking and running is decent, but is it enough? If it didn't violate the rules of this thought exercise, I'm sure Harbaugh would have me motion to the receiver position every play and let Peppers take snaps.
