2018 Starting QB, who you got?
December 11th, 2017 at 2:25 PM ^
I'm in the Malex Zone! /s
I'm still with Peters. If Shea or Dylan can command the offense like Peters seemed to (as indicated by the odd switch in confidence and poise of the offense), then it's gonna be a competition!

Winovich
December 11th, 2017 at 3:27 PM ^
Would love to see him in at FB some, and maybe throw a jump pass to a TE for a TD :)
December 12th, 2017 at 3:42 PM ^
Peters. After a couple days thinking about it, I think Peters is gonna crush it.
Patterson will be a serviceable backup, but I think Peters's growth in the system is going to outclass Patterson's attempt to adapt to the system.
Translation: Peters is already closer to being a pro QB than Patterson can get by August.
That's my opinion, and I'm sticking to it.

What does Carr think? We could just rotate them like Brady and Henson. That worked so well the first time...
December 11th, 2017 at 5:58 PM ^
That's when Carr lost me. We could have been undefeated in 99.

Yall know I got Prince Peters
December 11th, 2017 at 2:55 PM ^
Team Pep vs. Team JH
Brandon v Shea
December 11th, 2017 at 3:07 PM ^
Really... So Pep's sticking around then?
December 11th, 2017 at 3:27 PM ^
Yep, and while I would not often advise betting against Jim, I don't think Brandon is going to give one inch in this competition.
December 11th, 2017 at 7:20 PM ^
I really glad we got Patterson - but there's this part of me that hopes Brandon Peters is seeing all this publicity splash about the new QB at Michigan, and thinks "Oh yeah?"
Then he grabs this job by the throat and doesn't let it go for the next three years.
December 11th, 2017 at 7:29 PM ^
That would be the ideal outcome. I'm all for it.
December 12th, 2017 at 12:07 AM ^
Peters is my guy but it's hard to argue what Shea can do. I see Shea winning it because he has the swag boys. The frickin kid can move and make plays. Peters gets planted into the ground like I did on the playground in kindergarten. Then I started opening up cans of whoop-ass not long after.
I said it before and I'll say it again, 2018 is the year that this team cracks skulls and dominates. 2019 is annihilation of all mother schmuckers in the way. Hope this team wrongs me next year and is undefeated though. I also hope the players take the shitty refs out at the knees in the big games. That's all I really want for xmas this year and the next. Congratulations Mr. Patterson. You've made one of the best choices in your life!!!

The NFL draft will beckon and DCaff will be ready for stardom in 2020...
December 11th, 2017 at 4:45 PM ^
Wait, so MadHatter is correct in feeling like Harbaugh has a beef with Peters? Not gonna lie, given how long it took him to put Peters in this season, it seems like they don't mesh.
Team Shea if the head coach favors him.
December 11th, 2017 at 9:09 PM ^
Harbaugh sees the talent, we all see it. But Peters is soft spoken, and Harbaugh is/was brash. A year watching a brash QB like Patterson command the huddle and trash talk opponents might be what Brandon needs to man up a bit.
Nobody like the antics of Baker Mayfield when they went overboard, but everybody would love a cocky/confident QB like that...especially one that sticks a flag in that toilet bowl in Columbus.
Peters is a talent, but I think Harbaugh it seems Harbaugh wants his QB to have that edge and Patterson seems to bring it.
December 12th, 2017 at 9:33 AM ^
I think its simpler than that...I think Peters didn't seize the oppportuniy during the summer after his coming out party during the spring game whilst the veteran/less talent guys led the team. Summer is critical from a team development and leadership perspective and Peters had better jump on this opportunity because I get the sense that Shea ain't fking around.

We have better QB depth now than the Browns

I'd love to hear how Peters is doing in bowl practices. I'd bet he is fired up as hell.
UMB1G 11?

Ding ding. We have a winner. I'm on board with it won't matter cause we're in good shape either way.

Darn it didn't expect that
December 11th, 2017 at 2:27 PM ^
December 11th, 2017 at 2:36 PM ^
Is that a for real prediction? I have no idea how he's been doing in practices.
December 11th, 2017 at 3:03 PM ^
He has been receiving quite a bit of practice hype, but last I heard he's still only 205 lbs at 6'5". I imagine he would have to be in the 220 lb range to play without getting wrecked in the same fashion as Blackmon at FSU.
He is also lacking the in-game experience that both Peters and Patterson have.
December 11th, 2017 at 3:23 PM ^
The practice hype was also based on his scout team performance. Which... doesn't mean much. He's given a playcard by a coach, has a few seconds to look at it and then goes and runs the play. Rinse, wash, repeat.
I did the same in high school after I switched over to WR from QB (didn't play defense) and being able to freeball a play off a card is a lot different than memorizing a playbook.
December 11th, 2017 at 3:30 PM ^
I just don't think practice hype is ever reliable. Yeah, sometimes it turns out to be true. But since there is really no way of distinguishing credible practice hype from total B.S., practice hype is useless at the time you hear it.
December 11th, 2017 at 3:35 PM ^
Exactly, it wasn't long ago when O'Korn was crushing it 'as the most talented QB on the roster' as the scout team QB.

December 11th, 2017 at 5:31 PM ^
While your overall point is solid, running the scout team at Michigan is way different than what you are describing and worlds different than what you did in high school.
