Brady would have been a surprise, but what about Griese, Collins, Henson, Henne?

I want to be clear about this, in no way am I anything other than impressed and stunned. There is no complaining here. I guess I was just hoping for the diamond encrusted double unicorn cake topper that would have been Toms' participation.

Brady has said in the past that he doesn't want to share any of his secrets until he's done playing football. Understandable.

I didn't take what you said as complaining. I was just saying that we have a lot of other QB alumni who wouldn't be as tough of a pull.

Can we get a discussion of that poster? Are they bombing the shit out of Ann Arbor? Are Cutler/Kaepernick/Shoelace Godzilla sized and evading gunfire? What the hell kind of "Cage Match" is planned?

Also, way in for this. HARBAUGH!

This man won't fail. Will probably take a good amount of patience, but it's just a matter of time...

Too much work ethic, too many connections (how many other coaches could pull this off?).

I LOVE Denard as much as anyone, but he is really one of "the games top arms"? He was always known for his running. Hell he's not even a QB any more. Just seems like an odd fit for "AERIAL ASSAULT!"

The rest of this sounds tits.

Before his arm injury at least. He's still the only 1,500/2,500 yard guy EVER, and college and pro QBs are doing more running than they used to.

Why make it a camp that Dual Threat QBs wouldn't want to attend?

If anything he'll be a draw for guys and he's still relevant in the NFL unlike some of these guys.

but he always had an arm! I'll give him that. For his size he could for a football but accuracy/decision making was always an issue. I'd bet he can sling it better than a couple guys on that list but the couple guys I'm thinking of are in or pushing 40s. No offense as I'm only a bit under a decade away myself.

I love that poster so much. I always wanted an assualt plane raining gunfire down on giant QBs running away from an explosion. All it needs is this somewhere:

Probably doesn't take as much as you think.

Harbaugh (on the phone): Hey this is Jim, come up to Ann Arbor for a day to coach football with me

Random NFL QB: It depends on the day

Harbaugh: I wasn't asking, plus we have Zingerman's

with the addition that maybe Harbaugh is #1 since he has a proven record of developing QBs and he is the head coach of a football team (ie could give you a scholarship). But I agree Whitfield is a (the?) big name in the QB development world.

If you are a top HS QB, you are going to be there. That's a huge opportunity just to meet those guys, let alone be coached by them.

What a great way to expose top QB recruits to our facilities and Harbaugh.

Harbaugh is on a different level here that hasn't been seen before in college football.

Suck we can't get the guy our coach coached in college, the guy our coach's brother coaches, another Michigan alum at the position...oh, and the greatest QB in the world, who happens to be an alum.

I'm especially surprised about Henne with the Fisch connection as well.

There are three great U of M QBs there that are legends in their own right:
Harbaugh, Grbac, and Denard

Tom has other shit on his plate at the moment in case you haven't noticed, perfectly understandable he is not attending.

It's possible Henne and Fisch aren't on great terms given what has transpired in Jacksonville.

This event only has upside, it's crazy that Harbaugh has pulled that many top names to Ann Arbor. There's a great chance that Brady comes in the future.

The real wow factor. I don't know if this is all Harbaugh driving this innovation, but this staff is playing chess where Brandon and Loch Dog were barely playing checkers.

Urban Meyer and OSU just announced they are hosting a camp for QB's where you learn how to talk about football or develop a career in something unrelated to football (selling insurance, cars, etc.). Guests will be Chris Leak, Tim Tebow, John Brantley, Terrelle Pryor, Kenny Guiton, Troy Smith, Todd Boeckman, Craig Krenzel, Kirk Herbstreit, Steve Bellisari, Stanley Jackson, and Joe Germaine.
