Does anyone really believe there was a QB competition in practice?
I’m sorry but there is no way Cade could look so bad in practice that he couldn’t start over this.
There wasn’t a serious QB competition in practice this week. Harbaugh’s ego just refuses to acknowledge the reality that his pet QB project for this season is an utter failure.
November 21st, 2020 at 9:06 PM ^
I’m starting to wonder if the coaches even fucking watch practice at this point. I’m at least 90% confident Milton would have missed that wide open touchdown pass.
November 21st, 2020 at 9:09 PM ^
I’m 95 percent sure he would’ve thrown it through the uprights
November 21st, 2020 at 9:36 PM ^
Milton would have thrown it over the mountain.
November 21st, 2020 at 9:09 PM ^
I see your 90% and I'll raise to you 100%.
November 21st, 2020 at 9:13 PM ^
I thought I was being harsh lol.
November 21st, 2020 at 9:34 PM ^
Well there is always that 1% chance Milton gets hit as he throws and that takes enough off to the pass to make it catchable.
November 21st, 2020 at 9:08 PM ^
Further proof that Coach has lost whatever ability he had to identify talent.
November 21st, 2020 at 9:29 PM ^
He found Cade didn't he. But the OL. is so bad. They have tunnel vision and can't handle stunts.
November 21st, 2020 at 9:37 PM ^
The OL could be the biggest problem and that's saying a lot right now.
November 21st, 2020 at 9:31 PM ^
That we will never see McCaffrey lead this team and see what he could do legitimately is a damn shame.
November 21st, 2020 at 10:30 PM ^
Please give it a break, the kid is gone, and it was his choice. Cade and Milton didn't quit, Dylan did.
November 21st, 2020 at 11:30 PM ^
He didn’t quit
November 21st, 2020 at 11:49 PM ^
Was he fired?
November 22nd, 2020 at 11:53 AM ^
Lakeyale13 thanks for posting this. I could not agree more. When Dylan saw his name listed 3rd on depth chart he knew it was game over. He is smart, knew the offense, could read the defense, could run and run the RPO. We would have beaten MSU and maybe Indiana with either Dylan or Cade.
not sure if it was Harbaugh or Gattis that picked Joe over the other 2 guys, but I don't blame Dylan for transferring. Northwestern is thriving with a smart, 5th year guy at QB. Dylan could end up at NW and run their true spread.
November 21st, 2020 at 9:09 PM ^
Nope.
And now there can be no more denial about who the real qb on this team is.
No more Cam 2.0 kool-aid.
November 21st, 2020 at 9:39 PM ^
Milton is a Junior and clearly is not a B10 starting QB.
November 21st, 2020 at 9:10 PM ^
Start serving up the Caderade!
Go Blue!
November 21st, 2020 at 9:13 PM ^
Dude. McNamara hit a WIDE OPEN wr for a td.
And had 3 good throws last week.
Milton's best plays this year are miles ahead of what McNamara has done. The ceiling is clearly higher with Milton, it's the coaching, WRs n OL failing him, as well as occasional inaccuracies and indecision.
McNamara is not the QB that's gonna get Michigan past teams like osu. Maybe Milton isn't either, but Shealite is not gonna be the answer.
November 21st, 2020 at 9:15 PM ^
Lol. Okay bro.
Keep watching and learn.
November 21st, 2020 at 9:16 PM ^
You just might be a moron.
November 21st, 2020 at 9:23 PM ^
Hehe.
Wisdom is often railed against until proven who the real moron is....
Go Blue.
November 21st, 2020 at 9:18 PM ^
What good is a QB that can't win games? In limited action against the same teams milton is wetting himself against, McNamara is scoring. Let him play the rest of the game and let's see what happens. He wins, he's the starter and JH has some serious questions to answer.
November 21st, 2020 at 9:19 PM ^
Has Milton hit a wide open receiver for TD?
November 21st, 2020 at 9:22 PM ^
Milton has made NFL throws. And had MULTIPLE drops and blown assignments on the line. With better coaching and play calling he'd be a star. Where were these screens and check downs when Milton was in? He's been failed, flat out.
I'd love for McNamara to come in and be a game changer. The ceiling is undoubtedly lower with him in, though. It is what it is.
November 21st, 2020 at 9:28 PM ^
Come on, be honest. You're Milton's uncle, right?
November 21st, 2020 at 9:37 PM ^
I would better guess a former player maybe?
November 22nd, 2020 at 12:58 PM ^
It's about the command of the offense regardless of physical skills.....even an uneducated fan can see that Cade has it and Joe doesn't......
November 21st, 2020 at 9:30 PM ^
You must be watching another Joe Milton. Game after game he has overthrown wide open WR's for sure TD's. In this game alone he has overthrown WR's not by inches but by yards.
November 21st, 2020 at 9:30 PM ^
McNamara was actually the higher-ranked and more coveted prospect out of HS. Milton was considered talented, promising, and raw. Cade was atop Alabama's and Notre Dame's QB boards. So you're not really framing this correctly.
November 21st, 2020 at 9:38 PM ^
Milton is one read and done.
November 21st, 2020 at 9:51 PM ^
Milton should be on a team outside power 5 and take Josh Ross with him.
November 21st, 2020 at 9:29 PM ^
Two games in a row, M's offense is struggling with Milton, McNamara comes in and scores. McNamara's passes have a nice touch, you can see the ball just drop in for the receiver to catch.
I don't know what you're watching, but Milton can barely hit anything beyond 7 yards.
November 21st, 2020 at 9:29 PM ^
Can I have a hit of what you’re smoking?
November 21st, 2020 at 9:31 PM ^
BULLSHIT. YOURE WRONG.
Watch the play in slow mo. He threw in anticipation of him getting open but hadn't cleared the db yet Wasn't open yet at all.
Milton hasn't done that once all year. And WIDE OPEN wr he overthrew over and ovee. Cade hasn't overgrown a wide open wr yet. Open your fucking eyes.
Great play by Cade.
November 21st, 2020 at 9:33 PM ^
I'll gladly eat my words and admit being wrong if McNamara ends up being a great QB. To me he looks like a middle tier B1G guy. M needs a gamebreaker. They took a chance and thought Milton would be that guy.
Prove me wrong, Cade. I'd love it.
November 21st, 2020 at 9:49 PM ^
Pretty sure Cade McNamara doesn't need to prove anything to you.
November 22nd, 2020 at 12:56 AM ^
He threw 4 TDS in a half, didn’t turn the ball over, led with a steady hand, and won the game. In his FIRST MEANINGFUL APPEARANCE.
November 21st, 2020 at 9:33 PM ^
Nice try GoBlue419; not falling for your comment.
November 21st, 2020 at 9:59 PM ^
Shea lite??
let me be perfectly frank, I’ve been watching Michigan football since I was a little kid. I’m 44 years old. I’ve watched this kid throw 4 of the best dimes I’ve seen since Chad Henne was at QB.
this kid is a baller!
He may not be the future but he is MILES ahead of Milton.
November 21st, 2020 at 10:18 PM ^
Calm down man. Shea made some great throws at Michigan, too.
You're a prisoner of the moment, just like everyone else is right now.
Screw it, I'll hop on the McNamara Train if he leads this comeback against Rutgers tonight. At this point we all just wanna see M win a game.
November 21st, 2020 at 11:02 PM ^
all aboard. Seriusouly man, this offense runs so much more smoothly with McNamara. I was pulling for Joe as well, but Cade is just clearly the better quarterback
November 21st, 2020 at 10:15 PM ^
Who are you?
November 21st, 2020 at 10:22 PM ^
A Michigan fan... Who are you?
November 21st, 2020 at 10:37 PM ^
Dude, if you're going to blatantly be this high on a Saturday night, do the right thing and share your stash!
November 21st, 2020 at 10:43 PM ^
Wish I had a stash, bro.
McNamara seeing the field well and making good, quick decisions. That's for sure.
F*ck it, let's roll with him and see how far he takes us ?♂️
November 22nd, 2020 at 10:04 AM ^
This comment did not age well . . . in only a few hours.
November 22nd, 2020 at 11:32 AM ^
Hey dipshit you on the train now?
November 22nd, 2020 at 5:49 PM ^
Are you serious?
Michigan never had a lead against:
-Michigan State
-Indiana
-Wisconsin
Is there anything which makes you believe that Milton would have brought Michigan back against Rutgers? Let that sink in for a moment. You can talk about WR's and the O-Line but what exactly are these 'best plays' Milton has made?
McNamara has been throwing to the same WR's and has the same O-Line blocking for him. I'm sure that Milton is a good kid but right now, he is not a good B1G starting QB and McNamara has shown the ability to move the team up and down the field and score.
November 21st, 2020 at 9:15 PM ^
I will never understand this coaching staff. One thing that I just don't get is that when you look at OSU (and others, this is just an easy example) they have "feature" players....Elliot, Weber, Olave, Dobbins, Samuel, etc. Those are impact players who have opportunity after opportunity in every game. Michigan seems to do everything "by committee". No one has any chance to get into a rhythm, because each skill position group seems to be a revolving door. It seems stupid.
November 21st, 2020 at 9:40 PM ^
Probably coaching by committee as well.
