2018 Starting QB, who you got?

Doesn’t Shea have better grades on PFF and better stats? Plus he was a higher ranked recruit. Assuming he can pick up the playbook by the fall then I think he’s a clear favorite. His familiarity with the system or lack of familiarity is the wildcard. But he’s more talented than Peters.

Either Shea won't be eligible in 2018 per NCAA rules, or he will start in 2018.  He didn't transfer here to be the backup.   Just my opinion.

Peters

Patterson, if only because I don't think the tackle situation will be fixed (might get worse) and his legs are at least a partial solution. If the tackles are somehow improved, I'm calling it a coin flip between Shea and Peters.

If Shea can pick up our offense quickly he's the guy, but Peters has a 2 1/2 advantage.   ....or rather just 2 if Shea comes in early.   I think we'll probably need them both at sometime next year.   Hopefully we don't need McCaffery unless he out plays them.

 

 

If Patterson is eligible, he'll be the starter. I'm not anti-Peters, but Peters only looked promising in the limited opportunities he was given. Patterson has far more game experience and has shown himself to be a dynamic playmaker against top competition.

until Tim Brando gets his depth chart.  Then it will be official

He will be in his third year in the program, and it takes more than one fall camp to pick up Harbaugh's offense.  We saw this to be true, even with a future NFL QB Jake Ruduck at the controls.

That said, I dearly hope we give Shea a spread-n-shred package we can employ from time to time to keep the defense discombobulated.

I think Peters is money and will grow into a great QB.

Don't know who starts the season, but I predict all three of them will play next year with our pass pro.

I am happy we now have the depth, but I am frankly surprised that Shea chose Michigan without even shopping around a bit.  I get that he has a connection to the University via family and such, but it seems like there's a ton of places he could have gone where he would be basically guaranteed a starting job.  UCLA?  Florida?  Shit, wouldn't Nebraska be perfect with the new regime?  Who does USC have behind Darnold?  Oklahoma after Mayfield?  Maybe he convinced himself that the only way he can prep himself for the NFL is to be in a pro style system and Michigan was the only real option, and thus worth the risk of losing a QB competition.  

2018 will be an interesting season.

are predicting that Patterson just made a huge mistake in transferring here...

JENKINS!!!!!

...we have QB depth now.

QB depth, O, beautiful QB depth!!

I have missed you so...

Brandon Peters (@_B_P_18) and @SheaPatterson_1 together? We've seen this before.

If Patterson is the Purdue version of John O'Korn all the time, it is scary what we could do.

The 1 percent picking Milton/Doyle must be a joke

Timely, relevant question. Nice format. Easy input form for responders. Good, simple presentation of results. Well done, sir.

After watching the Shea Auburn game - Peters

Patterson seems to have "command of the huddle," which pulls him even with Peters going into the head-to-head this spring. My guess is Patterson starts against ND in September. 

My money is on Peters getting the nod to start the season and then Patterson getting more significant playing time as the season goes on...and possibly being the starter by the end of the season.  If the O-line continues to be a weakness, we'll need a QB who can improvise on the run.  My hope is the O-line deos a good job and lets Peters do his thing, but I'll believe it when I see it.

somehow Harbaugh now has two Elite 11 QBs from the same class (2015). Choices, choices ...

I'm going with 36. 36 more threads before next September asking the same thing

If he can grasp the playbook, the competition probably won’t be that close.

the more the merrier. Count me in with the 'if eligible, Patterson begins the season as starter'-contingency.

Haven’t seen Patterson play so I have no idea how he translates to our offense and how quickly he can learn the O. I want whoever helps us win big games.

Shea.
