what do I have to back up? are you assuming my post was pro JOK or anti peters? it wasn't and I never said that. poking fun at all the livingroom coordinators and gms that know so much. some of you guys are real soft but makes sense why you're out demanding Internet praise.

it's not suggesting Peters will fail. it's suggesting the douche bags who are quick to yell "UNACCEPTABLE" will immediately move on to dcaf which will undoubtedly happen at first sight of adversity or growing pains. whether you fall into that group out not, I dont know nor care. Or maybe you're just a dipshit on a blog reading into comments to fit your own agenda.

Just got lucky Rutgers dropped a possible pick six from Peters. And the TD to Evans was not a good throw either. What I do like is standing tall in the pocket. Hated seeing JOK looking so uncomfortable. QB is so much about confidence. This may have been the perfect time to insert Peters. But if you want to believe you know more than JH because (insert your reason here), that’s fine. Hope Peters goes wild. The success of the running game is making it possible. Hoping to see a deep ball in 2nd half. DPJ would be ideal.

I love how people are using the wording infallible to say they were right and harbaugh was wrong about Peters. The irony in thinking since Peter's was ready to handle operating the offense weeks ago because he has handled it today is a fallacy. This offense is complicated. Luck is one of the more cerebral QBs out there and he had to redshirt despite clearly being more physically talented. No one has doubted Peter's physical traits, the guy has NFL upside for sure. However, asking a redshirt freshman to lead this offense a few weeks ago is not realistic with how the other young players were still learning on the fly and trying to gel.

So is this going to be the cover-your-ass narrative all week now for some on here? The offense is so complicated and this was all a strategy, coach has more information, blah blah blah. Same old shit.

Last week it was he is not "ready." That doesn't even carry any specific meaning. Or it was, rumors he's a head case. Again, no specific meaning. Also, there were some saying he wasn't "vocal" enough as though he was a mime out on the practice field instead of calling the play at the line of scrimmage out loud or in the huddle.

Face it. It doesn't take a genius to figure out Peters is more talented than O'Korn. There was nothing to lose from this move.

This wasn't a long-term strategic move. Le'ts not insult peoples' intelligence. This was JOK having 1 TD and 7 TOs and not even being able to handle the fucking snap. This was, every time there was a stressful pocket JOK looking like a deer in the headlights.

Was in favor of letting OKorn work out the kinks but he is not ready to play today. Possibly the pressure is getting to him and looking over the shoulder at Peters and demand from fan base to replace him. The energy of the game changed with the QB change. If we have to simplify things to get BP going best to do it at this juncture of the season. Onward!!! Let's play M Football again. FB, RBs TEs WRs attack from every angle.

but Peter's is easily seeing the receivers better than O'Korn. that last drive was the deciding factor. it will be interesting to see how he progresses in this game. So far, better, faster decision making. I'm a fan!

I mean PA should be open all day if you can run the ball as well as Michigan is running it now. I mean this is like 1st year at Pittsburgh Rothlisberger. Hand the ball off and PA. I mean, it should work.

Liked they plays they gave him. Calling running plays that have worked so far, chunk yards on first down, getting a h back or te wide open and rolling out to them. That said, he took what they gave him and threw on time. O korn and speight have left plenty of wide open throws on the field this year.

Glad for Peters but the difference between this year and last year is so so gross. I don’t care about youth. Fire them up.

Harbaugh could. It have put Peters in against PSU as it could have been brutal. Putting him in here is a can't lose move. Kid looks no worse than O'Korn. Let's se what we have here.

absolutely. I remember in HS what it was like to have a bad QB. they line would be blocking good, WR would be getting open, but QB couldn't connect. It gets frustrating when you are busting your ads, but not getting the ball. when Peters starts getting the ball to his playmakers they are going to love him
