Lorenz says O'Korn wasn't the first QB picked in the Spring Game draft. 

Discuss.

The veterans will remember numerous threads which try to draw conclusions from the spring game, an event which is essentially designed so as to prevent the fans from drawing reasonable conclusions for the most part. 

The fact that it is on a Friday night this year makes me wonder what a flurry of Friday-type Spring Game threads is going to be like, especially from those who may decide to go have a few near campus and then report their thoughts later.

I can only remember two spring game freak outs (good or bad) being accurate.

1. Jake Ryan was going to be awesome.

2. The QBs in Rich Rod's first year were going to be fucking awful.

Everything else was a bunch of hype or nonsense (good or bad).

He was thrown into a close game against an opponent that was playing their guts out for Coach Kill.  The way they were playing that night they might as well have been OSU.  We came pretty damn close to losing that game.

Yes, it took him a few plays to get his feet wet, since he was nervous as fuck (first real playing time, in a high pressure situation, with the game and the jug on the line).  And then a light went on and he looked like a prototypical Michigan QB (pre 2008).  

I doubt he's the starter this year, but he has improved a lot and I wouldn't bet against him being the back-up and getting some decent playing time.

I must be in the minority but nothing he does makes me think of young QBs that have figured it out. I'm not a QB coach and I have not seen him very much, but slow pocket statues don't really work anymore unless they have an amazing OL and have an extremely accurate arm. I hope he has a great career. I would just be worried if he had to start a game this year. He completed like 30% of his passes so don't act like he was dominant when he did play. Everyone in this thread seems to think that there is no doubt that he would be great. He is really old for his grade and did a ton of QB coaching in high school. I wonder how much better he will actually get.
