Thought you guys would enjoy this. Don Brown so animated in this interview. He's so much more entertaining and informative to listen to than anyone else on the staff. He absolutely praises Dylan McCaffrey during this, saying that he's been doing an unbelievable job as the scout team QB and is all business in his approach. 

Brown was so excited about McCaffrey, that when asked about Brandon Peters, he just continued to talk about Dylan McCaffrey.... 

Our future with Peters, McCaffrey, Milton and Doyle looks extremely bright at the QB position. Brighter than it's been in a long time.

Should also note that Pep's first interview in seemingly months is the 2nd half of the video in the link. 

Pretty sure I heard Angelique mutter how Don Brown is much funner to talk to :p

I like the Peters-McCaffrey 1-2 punch through 2022 or whenever DMC graduates. I haven't seen enough of Milton and Doyle to feel strongly yet. I know Milton has a disgusting huge arm but no polish and I know next to nothing about Doyle. 

Hopefully we can sign Michael Johnson in the 19 class and Harrison Bailey in 2020. Then it's a pipeline that's really pumping.

The great thing about getting a guy like Milton with all the physical abilities is he won't (shouldn't, unless catastrophe ensues) be relied to play right away. His first couple years in the program will be great for him to build foundation and learn the offense. Also it will be great for him to learn behind Peters and McCaffrey, two all americans in hs... not to mention Jim Harbaugh. 

 

I haven't looked into '19 or '20 with regards to QB prospects but I'll take a look at those guys. Wasn't Johnson's dad supposed to come coach here and then didn't?

I hear something mentioned about McCaffery it is always very positive about how good he is. Just needs to put some muscle on his frame and he could be a lights out QB. Watched him play several times in high school and can tell you he is the real deal. I think he will give Peters a good run for the starting job next year.

I think next year we are finally going to start seeing the championship level QB play we have been missing for a while. Let's get the WR's to step up and line continue to improve and our offense might start being dangerous again and be able to help out our defense.

Is impressive and regardless of how well Peters plays he is gonna have a hell of a dogfight to try to beat out D-Caff next fall. Throw Milton in the mix...... a stud will be our starter next year and likely a stud for backup as well.

If Peters is the starter the rest of the year, then he will be afforded every opportunity to remain the starter. As much as Jim talks about meritocracy, he also has a clear system for moving QBs through the system. He wants Peters to go pro after next season or 2019, then it is DMac’s turn. If it’s obvious that Dylan is far better than Brandon, then he could start, but Brandon begins the competition as the preferred winner in Jim’s eyes.

Wilton should probably look to transfer if he wants PT. If they are close to equal, it makes no sense for JH to further develop a 5th year SR when he has a player that potentially could stay another year or two.

I would prefer Wilton to stay for depth - which he might do to work toward a grad degree - as I fully expect Malzone to transfer once he gets his degree (this summer?). That would leave us with just DCaff and Frosh at backup QB which isn’t ideal.

I'd like to have Speight on the roster, but ready to move on from him.  Made same mistakes he made in 2016.  He just didn't seem to develop from when he first played. 

Now watch Peters.  My guess is he'll be a totally different, as in better, QB than we saw against Rutgers.

Wilton will not turn pro, but if he wants to play next year it will have to be at another school or else accept he will be 3rd on the depth chart and not see the field. He has reached his ceiling and it's time for Michigan to go with the QB's who can raise the level of play at the position and lead UM to championships.

That's considered in my comment. Like I said, if Peters is the starter for the rest of the season, he will be the quarterback that the staff wants to win the starting job for next year, this offseason. Peters closing out this year means that he is playing well enough to A) move the offense more reliably than JOK over the next two games, and B) warrant not disrupting if Wilton becomes available in a few weeks. At that point, plus bowl practices, Peters will have the upper hand on Wilton. 

 

As another commenter said, I would like to have Wilt as a backup next fall, that would be a high floor for a backup QB. However, I could see Wilton transferring somewhere closer to home as he sees the writing on the wall. UVA will have an open QB job this offseason. I could see him and Bunting transferring somewhere together (I don't know anything here, so don't run with this as a rumor). Once Peters has success in games, and multiple game experiences, Wilton's experience advantage has been diminished to the point where you go with the guy with superior talent, which is clearly Peters.

While they're crazy competitive.

Can't help but think with the family okay money-wise that they'd prefer he get a degree, maybe even 5th year and masters.

Therefore the extra year and red-shirt on McCaffrey this year is huge.  By the time he starts I also hope there is an unstoppable wall of beef around him.

I think how Peters finishes this year will matter more in the fans eyes than Harbaughs. I do think how the team views him and his performance will slightly override a full meritocracy.

If you have 2 QB's you have none.

I'd rather have 3 QB's than one terrible one though, and I think the future it bright.

It will likely die down when UM loses another game or Peters fails.  As long as UM continues to win with Peters playing well the second guessing will continue.  If UM somehow manages to win out the decision to play Okorn over Peters likely cost the team the MSU game and a spot in the playoffs.  Big IF there but its potentially looming, lets hope so.
