Sam Webb Says Michigan now interested in Shea Patterson

I count zero posts in this thread opposed to taking Patterson.
December 1st, 2017 at 9:21 PM ^
I'm not necessarily anti, I'm just not sold on it being totally worth it. I've probably been the least enthused here.
December 1st, 2017 at 9:49 PM ^
You are 100% correct sir. Patterson and Harbaugh will be making this decision, and what anyone else wants or what there opinion on the subject is, adds up to nada.

December 1st, 2017 at 9:16 PM ^
if there's a fire sale, we could use a couple of those.

I hope you are not suggesting that he has Tate Forcier's problems with going to class...

The bucnuts have a team full of jackasses. Heard they are playing for a second straight playoff birth and third in four years. Maybe Michigan can lower the bar just this once for a talented and mobile qb don't you think? Yoooouuuu jackass...
December 1st, 2017 at 9:34 PM ^
Michigan should definitely pursue Patterson. The opportunity to get a QB like that rarely arises.
At the same time, at some point this offense needs continuity at the QB position. It's too complex for their to be a new starter every year or two.
December 1st, 2017 at 9:39 PM ^
Continuity. When Harbaugh's offense is great, it's because he has a QB that can run one of the deepest and most complex offenses in the country. While Speight wasn't a physical specimen, when we had a top 30 offense in 2016 it was because Speight basically knew the whole playbook and we were very hard to prepare for. Peters vs. Patterson would be a guy who has been here for 3 years, played in 5 games and 3 spring practices vs. a guy who started working on the playbook in the summer and working on it with live action in fall camp. I don't know that Peters would be able to run 100% of the playbook next year, but he would give us access to more of it than Patterson.
December 1st, 2017 at 9:58 PM ^
My man you usually have great input, but Shea Patterson is better than Peters or McCafrey at this point and he has a higher ceiling. Harbaugh and Michigan are after him because they know that. You may not like him for whatever reason, but he is the supreme talent and that is fact.
December 1st, 2017 at 10:28 PM ^
Again, I don't like or dislike him, and I don't think he isn't good. He might even be better than Peters right now. I do disagree that his ceiling is higher than Peters', and I listed my reasons why I would be concerned with bringing him in above in my long comment. The "fact" is that Brandon Peters is a supreme talent as well, and if you run a well-liked talent out of town for a new talent, your net gain at the position isn't much if anything, and you're going to sour friends of the displaced QB on the team and foster some bad attitudes. I don't think he gives us enough additional expected wins over Peters to risk bringing him on. That's my whole piece here.

assuming too much about Peters.
How high is is ceiling? Probably high, but we have not yet seen enough to really know. The data set on Patterson is much bigger.
Can Peters really run more of the playbook that Patterson? Seems to make sense, but really he ran a very limited playbook this year, and also admitted that his slower pickup of the playbook in August was the reason he fell to 3rd on the depth chart.
So again, we really don't know. It remains possible that Peters, though a high ceiling talent, will end up being only average at quickly mastering new play installs. That can be a drag during the season when the staff wants to install a bunch of new concepts every week.

You are a stubborn person bro. Just saying :)

I don't think it's a weekly competition to start. The competition in in the camps, but when game week rolls around, there's a #1 and a #2. Harbaugh has already proven that he'll stick with a starter until there's no sense in continuing to do so. He rode through poor periods with Rudock, Speight, and JOK. Once you win, you're the man until you prove you're not on the field.

Hall asked for his release and the coaching staff gave it to him, so it was hardly wild-eyed speculation on anybody's part that Hall was transferring. As for saying UM was not interested in Patterson, Webb made that statement before news that Speight was leaving came out. Neither of these constitute black marks on Webb's record.

Who's better (serious question)? And does he have a podcast (again, serious question)?
December 1st, 2017 at 9:41 PM ^
How much eligibility would he have? If it is two years because he egets a waiver, it could be worthwhile.
December 1st, 2017 at 9:51 PM ^
He's not staying in college for two more seasons
December 2nd, 2017 at 2:18 AM ^
Why the down vote? It's not a secret that Shea is going pro after his next season. His family is looking at him to make bank, and he and his family have been open about that. Unless he has an injury that makes him undraftable, he'll be going pro next year.
December 1st, 2017 at 9:42 PM ^
What about Greg Little?

You're a fucking idiot. Jesus Christ for stupid people in this world. So if Peters and McCaffrey go down, then who is the back up? Man I wish I could punch every person like you right in the jaw and not get sued or go to jail.

That issue has already been litigated. People are now suggesting that he might file a waiver to be eligible immediately anyways. I think this is dubious and that he doesn't really have a case for that, but we'll see.
December 1st, 2017 at 9:57 PM ^
I like what we’ve got in Peters and McCaffery. No more stop gaps. Harbaugh has been here long enough. It’s time to trust who we have on the roster.

That may not be saying much but there is zero guarantee that Patterson would’ve done any better.
