After this game, is Brandon Peters still the favorite to start next season?

I watched two minutes of film on Shea and saw a clear, NFL-potential QB with an incredibly fast release, accuracy, good arm, scrambling ability and general awareness. Brian compared him to Tate Forcier(?!). He reminded me of Drew Brees. And I’m not alone in this comparison. Brian needs his eyes checked or is just a homer for Peters. Who has potential but lacks intangibles. Shea is elite and ready to rock. My biggest fear is the coaches try to cram him in a box that limits his potential (entirely possible with this current, bumbling staff). Regardless, Shea could save Jim’s job next year. And Pep and Drevno. Period. Better hope is he eligible.

Fuck no. He was 10% better than O’Korn all year and that’s exactly what we got today.

.

the problem is the OC playcalling.

I didn't read your thesis, but I am assuming your question was "Is Brandon Peters still the favorite to start the bus next season?" Cause he sure as shit is not the favorite to start at QB. 

He may have been correct.

Just no

No, and if Shea is illegible it has to be McCaffrey. It cannot be the noodle-armed, indecisive, immobile, lock on to your #1 receiver Brandon Peters. He is Wilton Speight 2.0, at best.

I still believe he can be really good, even though he seemed so passionless today. I think Shea will win because he can run, he'll probably throw a bunch of INTs, but he can also make a lot of plays out of nothing and our oline is horrible and will be horrible again next year. I think the talent is there, I just don't know if the emotional/mental aspect is there yet. If Shea starts, unless he's amazing, he'll probably stay for a second year, so I think this was the last game we'll see Peters play in.

No. Next question.

Peters just does not have it.

Peters was horrible. If he starts next year, we are in serious trouble. He makes too many mistakes even when having lots of time in the pocket. Better hope Shea or Dylan rise to the occasion, or it will be a loooonng year.

The next Andrew Luck.....

Offense stinks plain and simple doesn’t matter who the qb is

Fuck no

Problem with Peters:

1) indecisive

2) looks at his primary target for 3 seconds and doesn't look at any other target

3) release is way too slow

4) doesn't seem awake

5) lacks confidence--stands hunched over 

6) soft. 

7) he may transfer. what a dud. 

He didn't seem comfortable out there.  Much more of a statue in the pocket than I remembered from the regular season.  He's got eight months to go but he looked like a backup trying to fill in today, not a starter.

Based on the results of today’s game, I’d say no.

Maybe more of a hell no.

Sometimes I can’t believe Harbaugh was a QB. Sure, you can cite Rudock as a success story, but...now? QB was the ONE position that I thought I’d never have to worry about when Jim was hired.

No. He’s not good at football. Coaches fault or not, he was the third best WB this year. And that’s rally, really rough to be.

as much as most of us question Harbaugh decisions with QBs, he seems to have gotten the order correct.. Speight >>>>>>Okorn >> Peters

I have to say no.  It was 3 and 1, he took off  running and slid short of the 1st down with defenders far away from him.

 

I understand he is a freshman and will improve but if McAffrey or Patterson a better options, play them.

Our best season under Harbaugh, Speight helped us win games by being improvisational because our line was mediocre at best. I cant remember how many times Speight did a pirouette or made a completion while a defender was pulling him down. That is what is needed at this point.

UCF’s QB looked confident, fast, and accurate against an Auburn team with far more talented recruits. We just need to be done with the low mobility, poor decision making QBs. Even Speight didn’t inspire confidence. Something went terribly wrong this season as all 3 of our starting QBs looked absolutely awful.

Peters does look soft. His throws today were wildly inaccurate for the most part, even when he was not under pressure. He held the ball too long, couldn’t convert a 4th and 1 to keep the game alive, and just generally gave me no hope that the team will be better with him at the helm.

Patterson, McAffrey, or Milton have to be the future. Peters just doesn’t have it for this level. Some guys just can’t make the jump from High School success to the P5 college level. All 3 of our qbs in 2017 seemed to look inept, so maybe we need something completely different. I miss Denard

OP, your original position was poorly informed and as such you already lost a ton of credibility. I’m guessing you were likely also one of the people hoping that Shea wouldn’t come because BP might decide to transfer. It’s delusional, uninformed people like this that have made this place a terrible place for discussion. People jumped down anyone’s throat for months if they had even the slightest negative thing to say about BPs performances. Everyone was so quick to jump on his jock and excuse all the incredibly mediocre and poor play desperately seeking a savior. I have no idea if Patterson or DMac are that guy but BP sure as hell isnt. If he is our starting QB next year we’re in big trouble. The problems that he suffers from on the field are not fixable even by a QB guru (which I’m not sure JH is or isn’t at this point).

LOL. No.

He was never going to start anyway after they brought Shea in. I don't know why people thought that. The staff clearly doesn't trust him.

Patterson has to be in the driver's seat as of this moment.  Peters was not very good.  He had decent protection and time to throw on most drop backs.

No, he was never the favorite -- it was always Patterson.  Peters performed in line with everything we've seen from him.  I have no idea why anyone thought he was the favorite.  Sorry OP, you literally had zero reason to have him over Patterson.

I will bet he will never ever QB a Michigan game again. Patterson w be the QB next year or McCaffrey for 2-3 years.

To bad as I was pulling for him, but after today's performance he is playing scared and has no concept of a audible or looking off a DB! Sad to say but he will never QB a game for us again unless there is a injury

He played poorly today, however, I think the offensive game plan was suspect, and, we don’t have receivers that catch balls that hit their hands, let alone the tough catches our opponents WRs make.

This offense is worse than it was in Sept and will not be effective next year without substantial player and coaching improvement.

We do not make plays, SC made plays against a very tough defense. Looked like Mich scout team offense.

Peters had many good throws dropped that weren’t his fault and made bad decisions late that were. He’s a very good pocket passer. But the biggest reason he’ll lose the job is 1) no energy and 2) not a run threat. Shea gives us more options and has the energy/leadership that’s necessary to win these kinds of games.

No.

Please delete this thread. Patterson is the ONLY hope Michigan has of being successful on offense against good teams next year. Period.

I was really rooting for him. There's youth, and there's mental make up. Based on all the info that came out about why he wasn't starting before O'Korn, and watching today, I think its a mental make up thing. Sure I could be proven wrong, and as a Mom first, I'll always root for a kid--even if he's technically a man. So, I can root for him--he's worked hard, he was here first; but he just doesn't look like he has the required leadership and toughness. All around, my feeling is that the work needs to be there--toughness, along with discipline (considering the whole team)... but as far as BP goes, I don't think he's the leader based on today.

If the offense continues to consist of 4 yard routes to Tight Ends then he’s got a head start.

Peters has some issues, But it's not all on him. The offensive line at times looks like it's a giant block of swiss cheese. Recievers seem to have trouble getting open when the O-line does decide to pass block. The offense in general is anemic. So just playing musical chairs at the QB position won't fix the problem.

As of now I am officially on the "Tim Drevno needs to go" bandwagon.
