Milton/McNamara shades of Henson/Brady?

Back away from the booze

I think it's more like a Kaepernick vs Alex Smith situation, except in this scenario Kaep wasn't an electric runner or anything more than elite arm talent.
November 22nd, 2020 at 12:41 AM ^
Henson? Muppets? Nah....
November 22nd, 2020 at 1:00 AM ^
I'm offended by this whole thread.
November 22nd, 2020 at 12:43 AM ^
Better comparison is Franks and Trask. Franks is still.starting at Arkansas ( doesn't mean a high ceiling but limits how low the floor is) but UF's offense is much better with Trask. Franks is a big guy but would force plays. Trask is more accurate

I think McNamara reminds me play style of drew brees.
November 22nd, 2020 at 2:53 AM ^
Obviously we don't want to get too excited given the limited sample size and how f***ing great DB is, but that name did jump to mind while ii was watching the game
November 22nd, 2020 at 1:52 PM ^
Have you ever seen Brees play? There is nothing about any Michigan QB on this team that reminds anyone of Brady/Henson or Brees.
November 22nd, 2020 at 12:53 AM ^
Yes...but pump the breaks I don’t know if we should be ready to anoint Cade as the next 12 or 10 depending on perspective.

Re the QB situation: In Harbaugh's defense, it has to be said that Milton looked pretty good against Minnesota, which was supposed to have been a fairly good football team. This blog sang his praises at the time.

We got catfished by Minnesota

Also, Milton’s three TD passes against IU were all “wow” throws. Kind of like golfers who forget all their hooks and slices and instead remember the couple great drives they had, thinking “it’s in me, if only I can be more consistent...”
But in truth it’s a mirage. Better to play well consistently and make good shots in a variety of situations than to kill a few drives and be all over the course other than that.
Harbaugh probably thought they might have a Cam Newton on their team and did not want to waste the opportunity. Lots of coaches at every level become enthralled to a given player’s potential, especially when they show flashes of possible greatness, which Milton did

what a DUMB post!!
November 22nd, 2020 at 2:51 AM ^
Thought the same thing and mentioned it to some buddies I was watching the game with over zoom. There are some significant differences but it does have a similar tenor.
November 22nd, 2020 at 3:15 PM ^
Would've loved to hear the laughter from your Zoom buddies.
November 22nd, 2020 at 7:26 AM ^
This is such an insane take I don’t even know where to begin
November 22nd, 2020 at 7:31 AM ^
I guess comprehension is hard. OP didn't compare Milton to Henson or McNamara to Brady. The point, which is not wildly off base , was that the relative differences between Milton and McNamara are similar to the relative differences between Henson and Brady.
November 22nd, 2020 at 3:14 PM ^
His post and your interpretation of it... ridiculous.
November 22nd, 2020 at 8:00 AM ^
Garbage post
November 22nd, 2020 at 8:05 AM ^
That’s silly to even suggest
November 22nd, 2020 at 8:14 AM ^
Uh... both were actually good. Present day.... only 1 has ability to be good.
November 22nd, 2020 at 8:26 AM ^
November 22nd, 2020 at 8:47 AM ^
Shows there is no meritocracy. Another lie from Harbaugh. Best players play..
November 22nd, 2020 at 9:18 AM ^
Please stop.
November 22nd, 2020 at 9:43 AM ^
Uh, no.
November 22nd, 2020 at 10:20 AM ^
Cade has that Drew Henson build
November 22nd, 2020 at 10:53 AM ^
Why do we have to do this with every average player?
November 22nd, 2020 at 12:33 PM ^
Cade’s long post TD pass is just a fraction of what Milton’s issues are. CJ was so wide open that Cade tossed it up soft and let CJ comfortably make the catch.
Milton would have thrown a rocket over his head and forced him to stretch to have a chance.

Wasn't Henson drafted? Do you honestly see Milton being drafted? His "success" is limited to one game against a bad Minnesota team. No, not shades of either Brady or Henson.
