Lol. "Other than one bowl game performance, the other two games we saw him in have shown that he can definitely not be an average quarterback. Under the same offensive genius that netted us negative rushing yards in back to back games." Good god some people say stupid things on here

Brian Cleary doesn't have an NFL caliber arm...Shane does, giving him a higher ceiling...Not sure why you think your analogy is cogent... Shane's arm doesn't guarantee success, but it does guarantee that if other parts of his game catch up, he has the potential to be a damn good QB. Something that Brian Cleary, nor many many others for that matter, don't have

Unless "some journalist" was named Nick Saban or Tommy Tuberville then there was more to the kid's game than Rivals evaluations.

Kid had national offers from Alabama, Sparty, Tennessee, Syracuse and Cinci (and likely would have had more had he not closed his recruiting so early and committed to M)

Who knows what his ceiling is at this point or if it is "clear" he's not a B1G starter...none of us have access to practice except the usual rumors etc. 

Throwing the kid under the bus like you are is not cool and, frankly, not really valid (just your opinion like my comments)

Did Shane Morris have sex with your mom or girlfriend? That's the only thing that can explain the pure vitriol you're spewing towards a kid who has given more to the University and football program than you ever have or will.

Exactly. There's no sense in having him take up a scholarship that could be used on a more deserving player. He can either stay at Michigan and pay his own way or take out loans like most of us did, or he can transfer if football is more important to him than getting a degree from Michigan. But its pretty clear at this point he's not part of Harbaugh's vision for this program's future.

Are you aware of any other case in which Harbaugh has taken a scholarship away from a player just because he wasn't starting?  If next year was going to his fifth, I'd agree with you that it might not be his choice - Harbaugh has said the fifth year has to be a mutual decision.  To my knowledge, he's never said anything about taking away scholarships for third or forth year players.

Are you really arguing that he should be forced out?

He committed to being a student and player at Michigan. Starter or bench player, we should allow every kid who commits to the program an opportunity to earn their degree. I would be very disappointed if we became a program that pulled scholarships before that happened or forced kids out because they did not develop into starters.

Maybe that would harm our ability to compete with Alabama, but I don't give a damn.

This is MICHIGAN, not the fucking NFL, or the SEC. We don't screw over our student athletes by taking away scholarships for something OUTSIDE of their control. Let those ESS EEE SEE deuschbags handle that. 

Thank God a dick like you doesn't have a say in the matter. Do us all a favor and saunter over to 11w or RCMB. 

P.S. You're unapologetic vitriol towards a 21-year old kid is quite intriguing....did Shane wrong you in some way?

somebody , atleast 1 person on the coaching staff thinks that he is infact worthy of a scholarship. I'm sure someday, the coaching staff will look back and think....."damn it, why didn't we have Dawkins from MgoBlog evaluating the talent pool here" But not today........Shane stays!

Exactly. There's no sense in having Dawkins' mom take up a penis that could be used on a more deserving woman of ill repute. She can either stay at my house and pay her own way or turn tricks to make money like Dawkins does, or she can leave if being the mother of a bitch-made bastard is more important to her than getting a load from me. But its pretty clear at this point she's not part of my vision for my penis's future. I hope this doesn't get me banned, but if so, it was worth it.

Everything in your billion posts is speculative. You don't know where Morris stood on the depth chart. The fact is Harbaugh came out and said he was redshirting this year.

As for your immature suggestion that he bail on UM, you ought to know he and his family have been true blue their whole lives. To date, the football program has not lived up to its end of the bargain. Three OC's, no offensive line, no running game, and a concussion is what his loyalty has been rewarded with. 

Who knows if Shane will ever play meaningful snaps at UM. He wouldn't be the first highly rated prospect to not pan out. But, for sure, he doesn't deserve the rantings of an immature idiot on a message board. 

I suggest you take your fandom down to SEC country where it belongs. What a disgrace.

Love the kid...he has a TON of heart and so wants to be the QB at Michigan. I hope he can surprise us all and make the adjustments he needs to and be the player we all hoped he would.
