Wilton Speight transferring

Harbaugh didn't have at least some influence on Speights decision.  Peters gets the next month of practice getting starter reps and goes into spring the clear #1.  Just as important, Dylan M. gets #2 reps and any garbage time available.  Speight being here could've thrown question marks into all those things.  I appreciate all WIlton has done for the program, but its time to move on to the future.

Simply because its time to move forward with Peters & McCaffrey.

Thanks Wilton.

I will say, I don't think Michigan needs another QB transfer. what they need is an offensive line that can keep the ones they have off the injured list.

You are a Michigan Man. Nothing but our best wishes for your future, no matter where you go or what path you choose.

if he should really be playing anymore. If I were him I'd take a long look in the mirror before deciding I wanted to keep going after all the injuries he's had. I'd hate to see him do even more damage to himself.

I used to think this blog was pretty plugged in. Then I saw the consensus was that Wilton would be pretty much unchallenged for the QB job and it was his all this year and next.

Peters should have started from day one this year. Harbaugh bungled the QB situation.

Wish Wilton all the best, but he was not the QB this blog thought he was.

Good luck to the kid....was the best option last year and damn near pulled a miracle out of his ass.

like a good leader and teammate.  Have a feeling like others suggest perhaps there is another transfer coming in like Shea Patterson, or perhaps Coach Harbaugh mapped out an uncertain future for him here.  Otherwise, does not quite make sense to me that Wilt would leave.   Wish Wilt the best and will always pull for him in whatever he does in life and appreciate his time at Michigan.

Speight moment was the TD to Chesson I think against Minnesota when he was forced into relief of Rudock.

He did a lot with a limited OL in my opinion.

I wish him well and no more serious injuries!!

You Wilton! Best of luck to you young man!

To Speight! Dilly, dilly!

Thank you Wilton. Best of luck to you at your new spot.

Front page, mate. Clear as day.

Best of luck to him

I get it that the kid Brandon Peters looks good but it is by no means certain that he is a lock. Speight has experience and the physical tools. He just need to continue to work over the summer. He actually has a good long ball. 

I guess the lesson from that the whole Drew Henson Tom Brady time was lost. Brady stayed and competed and only got better - he didn't get all of the game time, but got used to the habit of competing and working. He talked with Greg Harden a lot and decided NOT to transfer and stuck it out. 

Am I the only one who thinks this is a bad thing? He won the starting job this year and would have started all year if he had not been hurt. Losing the skill players we lost was going to be tough for anyone who played QB. I looked at Speight as the probable starter next season. Losing our probable starter is not a good thing.

Saw today on Mlive Winovich not sure what he will do for '18. Some quote about being happy to be a free agent. Don't like the sound of that. I think getting Winovich and Mone back on the D line and as senior leaders is big! Any news on these two guys and anyone else worried about them leaving?

his only offer??  Wow.  He's a very talented athlete, that's hard to believe.  Thank you Mr. Speight for all you did.  Ever blood, sweat and tear dropped for the team.  Best of luck to you.

But I actually am. Best of luck out there Wilton! Go blue Michigan man!

Thank you for your dedication to our alma mater. Thank you for putting your health on the line to represent our University in the face of daunting obstacles.. Thank you for conducting yourself to the highest standards for a Michigan student and graduate. Our football program has been honored by your participation, and I, for one, am sorry to see you go.

May you achieve every success in life that you choose to pursue, and may you always feel welcome at the University of Michigan

Let's just say I know a guy who plays Counter Strike, and he passed along there may be a few transfers coming, one or two of the shocking variety. But the words disenchantment with the treatment of players by the fans this year being a major contributing factor. Personally speaking, whether this is a load of shit or not. I've experienced a great deal of personal embarrassment at being associated with alot of our fan base this year. From the treatment of players, to the mudrucking of coaches, our fan base has been stuck in bitch mode for most of this season. Win or lose, we (fans included) stick together as a team. Or we fall apart as individuals. Some of you need to take a good long look in the mirror and ask yourself, have i conducted myself as a true fan of Michigan football this season? Or have you acted like a self entitled whiny bitch. Neg away bitches. Like a real Michigan Man I will take your worst with a smile on my face, and a Go Blue in my heart.

Thanks and Good Luck Wilton.  I hope we're not now a repeat concussion away from disaster next year.

True or not Michigan fans have been absolute garbage especially this last season.
