Are we ruling out Speight for 2018?

Peters completion percentage is 100% for his career.  What are we even debating here?

I'm going to have concerns if Speight is QB again in 2018. Wilton Speight was a generic 3 star prospect, and has played in that realm his career at U of M. When we get to 2018 Fall Camp, Brandon Peters had 3 years in the system and Dylan McCaffrey will have another year under his belt. If these two guys, who were more highly touted than Speight, cannot beat out speight, I will begin to grow concerned. 

Yes we are, because he sucks

not sure why we have to talk about it but my guess would be no. He will compete with Peters for starting spot.

I think he's going to move on and pursue a grad transfer. The IDEAL situation was Speight starts all of 2017, shows progress, plays well, commands the offense, etc We have a stepping stone type of season that leads into 2018 as a legit playoff contender and conference champion. 

Forward to today, Speight is likely out for the year. We have a QB who isnt coming back next year (JOK) and 2 highly touted youngsters waiting their turn. It's time to let them loose. Starting Speight next season off an injury is basically the same as starting Peters or McCaffery except the latter will have 3 years remaining. For the future of the program, it makes sense. However, our 2018 national title talk might as well be pushed to 2019 in that scenario. 

Condolences to Speight for having a severe neck injury, and mercies in quick and complete healing. Fractured neck vertabrae used to be called a "broken neck". Speight won't know for over a month whether he'll need surgery or not. Regardless, I hope for his sake that he calls it quits. The "game" is not worth the risk of future injury that could lead to lifelong paralysis.

Speight and O'Korn have hit their ceilings, in my opinion. Sometimes good, sometimes bad, but after watching their struggles, I think we can safely say neither one is going to lead us to the playoffs, let alone the B1G or divisional titles. So why not start platooning Peters or McCaffrey, whichever is deemed better, and get them in there for some drives to see if they can light a spark? The thing that got us excited in the Spring game was seeing the strength and precision of Peters' arm for the intermediate routes, as well as his touch on the long ball, something we haven't seen much of this season from the first and second string guys. Maybe having a QB back there with a stronger arm will help us stretch the field and help open up the playcalling. It just felt like we settled for a FG on that first drive once we got in the red zone, those two fade routes had ZERO chance of success...seriously, is that all we have in the playbook with JOK at QB, low percentage fade routes? Sure, there are other legit factors (OL, WRs, etc.) but at what point do we see if one of the highly touted blue chips on the bench can make something happen, even for just one series? After all, we play Penn State in ten days, and they will stomp us if we roll with the same stuff, especially now that they have the film of how sparty throttled our offense.

Did anyone else see Speight sleeping under his raincoat? Maybe not sleeping but he was totally oblivious to what was happening in the game. Okron throws another pick about 11:30 left in the 4th. Camera pans over to Okorn and there is Wilton looking like he is catching some Zzzz's on the sideline. WTF? Not a good look at all.

Thanks for asking

When Coach Jim came aboard he told Ondre that he was sufficiently concerned about Ondre's health that he was actually concerned about Ondre continuing to play football. Ondre transferred to Texas Tech or somewhere. If the UM orthopods or other specialists even suggest the possibility of irreversible paralysis with the next big hit to Wilton's head/neck area, Coach Jim will deny Wilton a fith year and suggest he leave football altogether. Brandon Peters --- or possibly McCaffrey, but I doubt it --- will be under center against ND on September 1st next.

I was hoping he wouldn't start this year, not many developments for our team could be worse than speight starting next year.

the QB situation is dire...

because of the neck injury. I also think Newsome's playing days are over too. 

Well, considering many of us were worried that a low ceiling QB like Speight again won the job this season and he proceeded to validate our concerns with mediocre play, he'd better not win the job next season.

If McCaffrey or Peters aren't better options than Speight next year, then Harbaugh is either bad at scouting QBs or bad at coaching them.

I question whether Speight ever plays again. Cracked vertebrae in your neck or spine is serious stuff.

Im not, but many here are..... 

Speight played quite well as as a sophomore no less... He will be a senior next year and will be our QB.

Cumong man!!
