Shea: Coming back for Senior year
December 21st, 2018 at 5:14 PM ^
But, is he going to play in the Peach Bowl?
December 21st, 2018 at 5:20 PM ^
Glad this one is official now.
December 21st, 2018 at 5:35 PM ^
Will a couple more guys make it official whether they decide to return or leave relatively soon?
December 21st, 2018 at 5:49 PM ^
Yes, I think we get some good news on one.
December 21st, 2018 at 6:30 PM ^
Long or Hill? Either one would be amazing news!
December 21st, 2018 at 8:00 PM ^
I was fairly confident Hill was returning. That seems to be confirmed by Webb and somebody close to Darnay Holmes. The biggest piece of news was that Long is now close to staying as well. Like 60/40. That’s huge news!
December 21st, 2018 at 8:09 PM ^
Thanks for the info, appreciate your contributions always! Would be incredible if both came back!
December 21st, 2018 at 8:14 PM ^
A secondary consisting of Long, Lavert, Metellus, Dax and Ambry as the nickel would be pretty sick.
December 21st, 2018 at 8:21 PM ^
Agreed. If both return and they figure out the DL this is a preseason top 10 team. Maybe top 5.
December 22nd, 2018 at 1:27 PM ^
Top 5 is way over rated for this team, defensive line mainly d tackles has so little depth and no size, I’m very worried about the d line
December 21st, 2018 at 11:13 PM ^
What does Darnay Holmes have to do with that?
December 22nd, 2018 at 12:18 AM ^
Wow. I was just hoping one would stick around.
December 21st, 2018 at 5:21 PM ^
Wow. Amazing. I guess being the starting QB at the winningest team in football history sounded better than being the backup to the backup for the Saskatchewan Roughriders.
December 21st, 2018 at 5:38 PM ^
Have you seen some of the QB situations for some of the teams in the NFL? The Qbs in Jacksonville are Blake Bortles and Cody Kessler. Shea is more NFL material than either of those two and it isn't close.
December 21st, 2018 at 6:13 PM ^
I might be a douchebag but you are one of dumbest fucks on earth. I'd rather be a bag.
December 21st, 2018 at 6:21 PM ^
Nice comeback, did you write that one yourself?
Am I a dumb fuck because I would rather start Shea over Bortles or Kessler or am I a dumb fuck because you got your feelings hurt by being accurately called a douchebag in gif form? Either way, you're not going to last long here like this.
December 21st, 2018 at 6:31 PM ^
You're a dumbfuck because obviously you don't know that the NFL has 32 teams and their draft has 7 rounds. With few extra picks there are around 230 CFB players drafted annually.
Patterson would not be selected in the draft. Probably not even if there were 15 rounds. NFL teams do not select undersized QB's who have never shown an ability to throw an accurate pass more than 25 yards downfield. If you think he did show that ability at any point this year then yes you are one of dumbest fucks ever to walk the earth.
So now go the fuck away.
And stay there.
December 21st, 2018 at 7:03 PM ^
I don't necessarily disagree about his draft stock, but you're talking crazy when you say he doesn't throw an accurate deep ball. I mean, it's literally the first play in the video. Also see 3:15 and 4:18.
December 21st, 2018 at 9:36 PM ^
Read my post again as it pertains to yardage. Then read it again if you need to.
I'll give you 3:15. The second one you referenced was underthrown. So that is 1 for 2018. All his deep balls are thrown late and/or short. NFL scouts are all over that shit. He would not be drafted this year. Bet my house on it.
That said I'm stoked we had him this year, and next. Light years ahead of the O'Korn misery.
December 22nd, 2018 at 12:04 AM ^
You seem like kind of a sweetheart. I did read your post as it pertains to yardage. That first throw was from the 15 and it almost reached the 50. Go watch it again if you need to.
And you're simply wrong that he was 1 for 2018. Here's some more evidence for you. The first three throws seem pretty good to me and the fourth was right at 25 yards. Then there's the one at 2:38 and the one at 3:02.
December 22nd, 2018 at 10:07 AM ^
Then your house would be lost, for sure, with zero doubt about that. Shea is a late round pick right now, as scouts have already said.
December 21st, 2018 at 7:12 PM ^
Two month wonder. You really need to learn some etiquette dude.
Try having a conversation rather than telling everyone how stupid they are...except for Maizen...
Hey wait a minute...Maizen? Is that you again? Tired of being Scootertooter and the inevitable Scootertooter2?
Grow up, man up. Debate is fine and healthy. Even if it hurts your feels.
(Bracing myself for the expected "shut the fuck up.)
December 21st, 2018 at 7:49 PM ^
I don't disagree that Shea might not be a day one or two pick. But he 100% would get drafted. Of course it is in his best interest to come back and improve his draft stock. But he has Drew Brees potential and he is taller. Shea will lead the B1G in passing efficiency next year and work his way up to anywhere from a one to third round draft pick. Bank on it if he remains healthy.
December 21st, 2018 at 9:36 PM ^
Fuck off Maizen
December 22nd, 2018 at 11:25 AM ^
He is the best deep ball passer we have had since Henne to Manningham. So try again. You are pathetic. Shea would be drafted without a doubt. Not day one or two but would for sure go before round 7. Teams are not as scared to draft a qb who is six foot. Think Brees and Wilson and mayfield. So again try again. And you dodged the fact that you said he would be third string in the CFL and I pointed out that he is better than Bortles or Kessler
December 21st, 2018 at 8:44 PM ^
You'd rather contain vaginal discharge than make love mindlessly?
Ok Cool ............drink up Jonnie.
December 21st, 2018 at 5:24 PM ^
O LET DO IT, PLEASE LET US BEAT OSU IN 2019
December 21st, 2018 at 5:25 PM ^
I know that everything has to be earned, but would he do this unless there was some tacit agreement he wouldn't be the backup? If not, this could be a huge risk for him - though he could also be of the mindset that if he can't beat out McCaffrey or Milton, he won't be in the NFL anyway.
Separately, although Shea played great at times, there were times where he clearly missed reads and had misses on deep balls. What are people's thoughts on if Shea returning is a good thing, at least vs. the prospect of McCaffrey being the starter. Personally, I hope McCaffrey gets a lot more playing time next year. It is tough to know if he's better unless he gets real game snaps, but in the game snaps he did have, I thought he played pretty well including that absolutely perfect ball down the sideline to Ronnie Bell and he showed good athleticism on his QB keepers. I'm not saying he's for sure better...I just think some people are "gamers" and it is hard to know unless both QBs, and maybe more, get real game reps with the 1st team.
Thoughts?
December 21st, 2018 at 5:31 PM ^
If you read the article he said this is the first time he will be in the same offense for two consecutive years. Harbaugh's offense is not a chuck and duck like most in college football. It's more complicated. Being in the system for two consecutive years and working with the same group of receivers will be an eye opener. Throw in 4 Olineman coming back and you are looking at maybe one of the top offenses in all of college football.
December 21st, 2018 at 5:34 PM ^
a second year of good OL coaching will be key. can't wait to see the improvement in the OL in year 2 of Warinner.
December 21st, 2018 at 5:39 PM ^
Especially if Charbonnet lives up to his billing in his first year. Anyone with insight into how well he can pick up the blitz and pass block? Thats usually the only limiting factor on RB playing time.
December 21st, 2018 at 5:35 PM ^
Nice. Now open up the fucking playbook and let him sling it all over the field to our multiple 4-5* WRs.
December 21st, 2018 at 5:51 PM ^
You'd have to be crazy to think McCaffrey won't get a decent amount of playing time next year. I'd imagine he gets into at least 4 games next year due to score alone. Not to mention, Harbaugh will probably have some sort of package for him to take advantage of his athleticism and keep him sharp.
December 21st, 2018 at 5:31 PM ^
alright. Here we go...could be a nasty and deep offense next year. Warp speed charging up
December 21st, 2018 at 5:31 PM ^
POW! POW POW!
December 21st, 2018 at 5:35 PM ^
That's good because I am slightly worried about Dcaf's collarbone now. Seems if a QB breaks their collarbone theres almost always nagging injuries to follow. Now Dcaf can rest for most of another season but still have 2 full years left to be the starter afterwards
Plus Shea has built chemistry with our WR group already and itll only get better with another full offseason of practice
December 21st, 2018 at 6:01 PM ^
That specific type of nagging injury? Never heard of it. Have any citations?
December 21st, 2018 at 7:50 PM ^
Stafford started out a paper lion health wise and has become an ironman....
December 21st, 2018 at 5:36 PM ^
Now that helps to make this Christmas even Merrier! Go Blue!
December 21st, 2018 at 5:36 PM ^
A wise choice. Now it's up to Shea to prove it in 2019.
December 21st, 2018 at 5:37 PM ^
THROW. THE. BALL.
December 21st, 2018 at 5:42 PM ^
Long live Mineral King! Go Blue
December 21st, 2018 at 5:44 PM ^
Thank you Mineral King for granting my Christmas wish ;-) Now we need to move onto World and MGoBlog peace.

Woo! Now let him throw!!!
December 21st, 2018 at 5:53 PM ^
Great news! The 2019 season is going to be very fun!
GO BLUE@
December 21st, 2018 at 5:53 PM ^
Well, turn the "Hope Nozzle" loose! Hope that Harbaugh's EUTMK and "more is more" mantras finally are reflected in an offense that was a tad bit too conservative this season for the weapons at its disposal with even more firepower on the way via the new Wolverines.
Hope that the chemistry Shea established with DPJ, Collins and Gentry (with Black coming back), springboards in to at least a 3,500 yd season with the same efficiency and allergy to INT's.
Hope that another year under Ben Herbert's training will produce and begin to solidify the strength, speed and endurance gains that will re-certify Michigan as a dominant force in the trenches.
Hope that 4 returning starters and the talent waiting in the wings on the O-line under Warinner's tutelage will pave the way for the best running game and pass protection we've seen since 2003, giving rise to a 1,500 yd back and a pair of 1,000 yd receivers.
Hope that Don Brown... and all the coaches self-scout better, especially against the top-tier teams, identifying the team's weaknesses and are prepared with an unpredictable game-plan and chess moves 3,4, 5 series ahead.
Hope that these tough loses the past 4 years have prepared the team to take the next step and win the big/close games.
Hope for a B10 Championship and a CFP spot next season. Well, it is Christmas time.
December 21st, 2018 at 6:04 PM ^
Agreed!
