I thought Peters handled today well - optimistic poster here

He goes thru progressions, picks the right target, throws the right type of pass and has a great arm. Give him a 2nd & 3rd WR and a dependable OL - he will pick apart teams. Black, Nico and Oliver hopefully develop this offseason and the TEs will get better so the skill group is fine. I don't foresee a dependable OL next year. Kugler is readily replaceable by Ruiz or Spanellis, but tackle will likely be a void. Guards stink at picking up stunts - and that's coaching. Drevno has underperformed as OL coach all 3 years; expect his exit this offseason. After watching UM play the last 8 games, I am 100% confounded how JOK was ever "ahead" of Peters on the depth chart. JOK is just like his 2 spring games - nervous, bad timing and questionable decision making. Peters was better in the spring and he is 10x more talented and the O operates quite well with him under center. Speight vs Peters? Ok, I get Speight might have been better on the field and likely better leading the locker room. JOK vs Peters? Not even in the same zip code.

I think Peters has done well with what they have asked him to do.  The weird thing with the line is that they did well when they were in the right call and identifying well, but it was either that or letting guys through clean.  Hard to know how much blame to dispense where.

Gotta throw it away on the peters fumble. That is my only complaint of him today. Throw it away and take the field foal.

I did too - I hope he’s OK. Still some things to work on but he’s developing nicely.

I will be more optimistic when Tim Drevno and Pep Hamilton leave. Jay needs to go back to TEs. Bring back Jed Fisch and get a legit WR and RB coach.

give me more excuses.

I’m sure people will call in tomorrow and blame the loss on the weather lol delusional fucks

Always coming into the OSU game limping. We play at Wisconsin and lose our 3rd starting QB. OSU plays Illinois and puts up 28 in the 1st quarter, can sit everyone the 2nd half. 

While the announcing crew was dumb, I agreed with them when they said we were "watching Peters grow up right before our eyes". Some of his passes were off the mark early, but he really came into his own and played quite well. He was also impressive on the move and seemed hard to sack.

 

His future is bright if you ask me. Great performance, especially with the lack of pass protection. 

 

Also, call me crazy but it did seem like the coaches opened up the playbook for this one. Injuries + complete horseshit officiating screwed us. Not Michigan's best performance, but this one was winnable for sure. 

I am fairly sure that if you told any Michigan fan that we would be leading Wisconsin at Wisconsin deep into the game we would be surprised. If it was because we had significantly more passing yardage that would have blown me away. Peters looked great - he escaped pressure, made great decisions overall and played his ass off. Our line is not fast enough or athletic enough to cut off the pursuit angles of their linebackers who are the fastest group of linebackers I’ve seen in a long time. The big problem with the O-line in my mind is the Center who isn’t getting enough push and isn’t making the correct calls on passing downs and the right tackle in pass protection. I was ok with the fact that we got got as they say on outside blitzes. Those A gap blitzes are on the Center to know, point out, slide to stop. Anyway, once Peters got injured it was over. But until then it was a great game and Hornibrook threw some passes that were downright ridiculous. If that’s how you get beat, you tip your cap and move on.

Peters was 9-18, but a few long completions gave him 157 yards.  Showed promise.  Truth is though we have no idea how he be as a QB going forward.  Potential looks to be there, but it;s a small sample size.

he had no turnovers in the games he played.  By that stat alone he was more effective than Speight and JOK this season.  Then he seemed to "click" today before getting hurt.  There's a lot of room for optimism BUT if we can't protect him (or any QB) it won't be enough.

For the record, the fumble was because he didn't secure the football....don't cop out on an injured wrist

Peters looked pretty good.  Still obviously inexperienced but is definitely growing.  I loved that call with Hill coming out of the backfield.  I just don't understand why we can't have more plays that aren't obvious runs or straight drop back passes.  The defense set up the offense so many times today.  I know once we have an above average QB, we will be contenders.

Hope Peters is not seriously injured.  Next week will be a competitive game.

GO BLUE!!

Maybe its just me, or the fact that JBB is blocking on the right, but it seems like Peters effortlessly avoids unblocked rushes coming from the left (his blind side), and routinely gets decleated from the right.  Can it be because he is left eye dominant?

turnover free and no screw ups on special teams to have a shot...

we blew it on both counts... and so we lost

Our issue is OL. UW as a program is ahead of us and it took Barry, Bret and now Chris multiple years to build it. Harbaugh needs to get an OL that can protect and push, there needs to be a pipeline. We are way behind at OL. QB is turning around with Peters and hopefully plus McCaffrey.

Sorry

the facts.

Maybe that was true with JT Barrett.  That was not at all true for Lewerke or McSorley.  Thoey looked not very great in their early playing time. 

Remains to be seen how good Peters will end up.  But so far he has looked promising.  No guarantee, obvioulsy.  But to judge him on his starts this year, he looks promising.
