OT: Shane Morris invited to Lions' rookie camp
What's the worst that could've happened? I'd have taken any extra QB we could get last year, especially one who was with Harbaugh for 2 years.
Might not have been a dead season if we had better quarterback play. MSU/OSU are easy W's with better QB play. I'd sacrifice a couple reps for two freshmen with 2-4 years ahead of them for those wins.
But Shane played well at Central, especially late in the season. I think Michigan wins 2 or 3 more games last year if Shane stayed and JOK left.
Glad to see he's getting a look with the Lions.
Hard to imagine that a guy who couldn't beat out O'Korn on the depth chart would've provided any more help to the offense than Peters did.
see Josh Rosen, Lamar Jackson, Sam Darnold, etc. All were 1st round picks despite having subpar OL play as whole. What they get around it is they're able to read and get the ball out quickly or have subtle movement within the pocket to buy extra time for the passing plays to develop.
Does it help to have great OL? Sure but QBs has to execute regardless.
Josh Rosen had two concussions this year, and at times looked absolutely overwhelmed. Sam Darnold had a perfectly fine last year (31st in adjusted sack rate), but he still threw 13 picks and struggled under pressure. Lamar Jackson is an amazing athlete who ran out of problems a bunch of times but, as a result, completed under 60% of his passes. All three were affected by problems with protection.
And please don't use NFL draft position (especially at QB, which has consistently been overrated as a position due to scarcity) as some proxy for quality at the spot.
Chuck Long agrees with Joey.
Shane and JOK will have the opportunity to make an impression but that's probably what's going on here.
Remember how enthusiastic Shane was? He went full spead recruiting his classmates.
Best of everything to Shane, our fellow Wolverine.
Shane had a different Dad:
- He would of been on the team last year
- His career at Michigan would have been different
This might comes across very harsh or rude. However for any of you that have had the pleasure to meet Mr. Morris knows what I'm talking about. Wore out his welcome with the Hoke regime, also after a week in Bradenton had to be spoken to by multiple support staff and coaches. Guy needs to take a hike, but I can promise you he will be in Allen Park.
Don't know Mr. Morris, but that's pretty harsh. Did he shoot your dog or something?
Also, as someone who knows a ton of people who went to U of M while he played here, Shane was seen as quite arrogant and unlikeable to a large portion of the student body, which is a shame they thought because the vast-vast majority of them were very cool guys.
He wasn't exactly the most humble recruit coming in.
roomed next to Shane at Michigan. He's quite arrogant and kind of a dick
One of my buddies played him in beer pong at a house party and acted like he had no idea who he was and it really got under his skin.
Morris > O'Krap
Go away.
let's use a shane morris item as a way to, once more, take a shot at john o'korn. that shit never gets old.
Double post.
Hope you make the roster.
its called doing favors... all those guys are not NFL material.

Morris didnt play very well for us at QB. But at least he didnt get in any trouble. He showed up everyday and put in effort. That is all you can ask from someone. Harbaugh liked him and I do too. I will remember him as the best lefty I have seen at UM haha. Go Blue!
But yeah, ‘88 vs OSU was epic. Long bomb to Kolesar with less than a minute left for the win.
And he won 2 bowl games. How many UM qb’s can say that??
Speight should skip his year at UCLA and go straight to the Lions rookie camp
Starting with the first NFL draft that Schembechler's Michigan program was eligible for—1970—through 2017, I looked at which college programs the Lions had drafted the most players from. Using info from the Lion's own website:
12: USC and PSU
10: Michigan, Texas, and.... Purdue.
Yes, that's right: Since 1970, the Detroit Lions have drafted as many players from Purdue as they have Michigan.
And of those ten UM players drafted, only 4 have been drafted within the first four rounds.
8 Buckeyes have been drafted in that time, and 5 Spartans.
love seeing u m guys get their chance
