Shea Patterson's Appeal Filed with NCAA

technically it IS Peters' job to lose. He's the returning starter. It's just quite likely that he will lose it if Patterson is eligible.
February 28th, 2018 at 10:35 AM ^
Maybe. I still believe a lot of people are reading way too much into that USC game and not the fact that he did really well until he was injured in the Wisconsin game. There is an irrational belief that Patterson will somehow walk onto campus and pick up Michigan's offense quicker than literally any other QB has previously and do it well. That may be true, but I'm not holding my breath, especially when you also consider there are some pretty significant changes with the offensive coaching staff.

The offense is pretty simple for a Qb, even USC knew what plays were going to be ran...Shea won't have any issues, he's a smart kid.

Against Soth Carolina. I think that after he got knocked out by WI he didn't want to get hit again, and that long lay off from real contact messed with his head more.

will be 3rd string next year

As strainge as this may be read by some (maybe most) on here, this is definitely a posibility and i would not be shocked.
I think McCaffery may actually turn out to be Harbaughs first great QB at Michigan.

I think he would have lead the 2016 team to the playoffs and won it. I also think Speight would have gotten us there had his shoulder not got messed up at Iowa.

Michigan is probably in a bad place if he falls to #3. Mauybe McCaffrey shocks people and Patterson looks better than when we last saw him, but lots of bold proclamations being made with little evidence is all I'm saying.

Yeah. I guess I'm pessimistic that a guy who looked decent toward the end of the year suddenly falling apart would be a large indictment of the staff. Also, I have just never quite seen the justification for the love Patterson has gotten as a savior; he looks like a really good prospect who has enough flaws in his game that it'll take, say, a year to really hammer them out. He had an inconsistent year at Ole Miss before his injury, with his big-number games tending to come when his team was down big (see Auburn) or against tomato cans. His one legitimately impressive performance was against Vandy, but even then you watch some of those highlights and it's short slants going for huge YAC, Vandy safeties just letting WRs run far behind them (one of his TDs I don't think you see a defender within 15 yards of him), and assorted other performances. A bit like O'Korn against Purdue, though perhaps somewhat more sustainable.
I want Patterson to succeed because that makes Michigan better. But I have my doubts that the player we've seen for about a year at Ole Miss can step right in and be a starter over guys who have been in the offense for years and, to be fair, aren't chumps either.

Fingers crossed. I can't stand ND, MSU, and OSU... I can't stand ANY team we play. Beat em ALL!!!

That is an ineresting quarterback jersey number. I wonder why they put that number on him in that graphic. Anyways, he can wear whatever number he wants!
February 28th, 2018 at 8:56 AM ^
He already has the #2 jersey
February 28th, 2018 at 11:14 AM ^
Was 8am this morning, with the image of #20 jersey on; not sure why he tweeted an old image. No biggie, but that is what is linked by the OP.
February 28th, 2018 at 8:59 AM ^
That is what he wore at Ole Miss. I thought I read somewhere he picked 2 as his jersey number though.

They are constantly banhammered because most don't have the funds to afford a fully staffed compliance department and keep things legit. But other programs can basically pay off their misdeeds $40 at a time or they can claim incompetence because everybody gets free A's.

Does the fact that we know that Ole Miss was paying players affect Patterson's chances? It is hard to believe that Patterson (the No. 1 ranked QB in the nation) was not paid by Ole Miss.
February 28th, 2018 at 1:01 PM ^
patterson got "something" to go to ole miss but nothing can be proven and im sure he will keep that a secret and take to his grave.....as would i

If he can transfer to Michigan with immediate eligibility, then wow, I don't know the last time Michigan was that loaded with blue-chip talent at the QB position. Probably never.

Brady and Henson would like a word. Or perhaps Griese, Dreisbach and Brady.
