Shea: “we’re not trying to be explosive”
Strange quotes this week.
From MnB
Positivity’s always lost these days,” Shea Patterson said, via The Detroit News. “Obviously, we have high expectations and we know you guys do too. All I can say is that we’re trying our best and we’re working our ass off every single day and we’re going to continue to grow.”
“I think there’s a lot that you guys don’t see,” Patterson said. “There’s a lot that the fans don’t see. They make their adjustments on defense, we make our adjustments on offense, we’re not not trying to be explosive. I do believe that there’s a lot left out there. The sky’s really the limit for this offense. It’s just a matter of time.”

I'm sure this quote won't be taken out of context at all

Whatever happened to space between words?

He just does not seem like the same kid that we saw last year.
Cheer up, Shea.
October 9th, 2019 at 9:14 AM ^
2019 Shea reminds me of what we have seen with Jim the last couple years. He's not showing the 'shush the crowd' keep the ball for 75 yards swagger he had last year.
October 9th, 2019 at 10:06 AM ^
I'm really wondering if Harbaugh only has a certain type of QB he can coach up, guys like Luck, Rudock, and possibly Speight, guys who can mentally handle all the complex demands he places on them.
Then you have guys like O'Korn and Patterson, who are more gunslinger types who rely more on instinct rather than conscious processing of the defense and receiver progression. These two just can't seem to catch up, bail on the pocket prematurely and are hesitant, not sure if they have the right throw or not.
October 9th, 2019 at 11:53 AM ^
If Harbaugh's system requires extraordinary intelligence, then we'll be in trouble at QB more years than not. This has proven to be the case.
October 10th, 2019 at 12:26 PM ^
The crowd gets quiet alright.
October 9th, 2019 at 9:17 AM ^
Last year, he was flirting with the NFL Draft. He must have thought there was a chance at an NFL future.
This year, he most likely realizes he has no draft value at all. I would be pretty depressed if I were him.
October 9th, 2019 at 9:22 AM ^
In all honestly, he seems pretty depressed. That is concerning bodily language. I obviously don't know him but if that is still his demeanor when the camera isn't rolling I would probably be a bit worried. Not just for football, but just in general. Hoping the best for him through this season.
October 9th, 2019 at 9:49 AM ^
Playing QB at a big time P5 school is the single toughest position in any college sport by far.
The scrutiny is enormous.
Shea’s always had a quiet nature to him.
October 9th, 2019 at 6:03 PM ^
I agree about the scrutiny and criticism that is heaped on Shea and I’m not blameless myself. If one wants to play in that arena at this level it should be expected.
But we need to be mindful that he’s still a kid playing a sport. Kids haven’t had the time to develop coping skills. Let’s hope there is psychological support available within the team medical staff to look out for our guys.
October 9th, 2019 at 7:35 PM ^
Agree. I think it takes a very specific type of person to be able to handle the pressure. An extremely confident, ice in the veins type of person. I certainly wouldn't want to do it, and I wouldn't want my kid to do it, either. I can't imagine reading some of the crap people write on social media about my kid.
October 9th, 2019 at 1:35 PM ^
I see now that you've (repeatedly) diagnosed Harbaugh's mental condition, you're moving on to Shea Patterson?
October 9th, 2019 at 2:11 PM ^
No, never have diagnosed anything having to do with Harbaugh, except for pointing out the fact that he never expressed or implied that he was changing his coaching demeanor intentionally, that is ridiculous.
As to this, kid just seems really low. Hope he is not taking this too hard. Can't be easy to go from NFL potential to perhaps getting sat.
Sorry if that take offends you.
October 9th, 2019 at 9:55 AM ^
Now focused on Q school and making the PGA tour maybe.
October 9th, 2019 at 3:50 PM ^
He also takes an extreme amount of criticism
October 9th, 2019 at 1:22 PM ^
He doesn't have the same swagger he had last year. When McCaffrey came in against Wisconsin he provided a spark. He was moving the ball and it seemed like he was processing things quicker than Shea and doing a much better job of reading the defense. No way to prove it but had he not gotten targeted I think he would have put together at least a couple of scoring drives in that game and might have established himself as the starter by now.
October 9th, 2019 at 4:01 PM ^
He looks like someone that lost the starting job.
October 9th, 2019 at 6:03 PM ^
See——goals ARE being reached this season!
Mission Accomplished!
October 9th, 2019 at 7:01 PM ^
October 9th, 2019 at 5:17 PM ^
That man looks like he’s about to walk the Green Mile.
October 10th, 2019 at 10:17 AM ^
When did Shea join the Pink Lady's? They were bad ass.
October 9th, 2019 at 9:00 AM ^
OP actually misquoted Shea. He said “not not trying to be explosive”. That was an intended double negative.
October 9th, 2019 at 9:04 AM ^
Immediately upon saving the thread I realized I missed the second not. I’m not one of the bench our starter fans, that’s why I quoted the whole article.
It’s been how long with this site upgrade and we still can’t edit OPs? Ridiculous.
October 9th, 2019 at 9:08 AM ^
Mods should just nuke this thread and we can start it over with a title that properly quotes Patterson; otherwise this is just going to turn into another shitshow.
October 9th, 2019 at 9:13 AM ^
Fear not! I’m sure there will be two more threads started on this.
October 9th, 2019 at 9:24 AM ^
Moms please delete
October 9th, 2019 at 9:26 AM ^
If only we had more of them.
October 9th, 2019 at 9:47 AM ^
I hear Brian is using Zip Recruiter to find more
October 9th, 2019 at 11:35 AM ^
As long as he's not using a site made by HUEL.
October 9th, 2019 at 9:54 AM ^
At my school they made fun of the kids with two moms
October 10th, 2019 at 1:03 AM ^
Yeah, especially if they're milf worthy.
October 9th, 2019 at 9:43 AM ^
No, not, not.
October 9th, 2019 at 11:19 AM ^
If only they would give me that power...I would delete this for you.
October 9th, 2019 at 12:59 PM ^
I hereby nominate House Mother and MGoBrewMom https://mgoblog.com/users/mgobrewmom as our new moms (mods).

This thread is "less" of a shitshow than the program at this point, so how about you prioritize your frustrations and try some "root cause analysis"... or maybe even basic logic problems FERRIS!
If FB team wasn't a complete circus and shit show (for 10+yrs) we wouldn't be having these discussions... now would we!
Does U of M teach cause and effect anymore? WTF
October 9th, 2019 at 11:34 AM ^
Username does not check out. Should be lostfan
October 9th, 2019 at 9:09 AM ^
You totally blew it....Your post title is literally the opposite of what he said.
October 9th, 2019 at 9:40 AM ^
Pretty sure he realizes that which is why five minutes before your post he said:

October 9th, 2019 at 2:21 PM ^
It's not not the opposite of what he said
October 9th, 2019 at 9:37 AM ^
Mineral King will be PISSED at you!!!
October 9th, 2019 at 10:14 AM ^
Naw, he's too busy getting ready for PSU/Illinois. Wishing the team the best as they practice this week and next.
October 9th, 2019 at 11:04 AM ^
Don't blame not being able to edit an OP for your mistake. Don't be in a rush to be FIRST and take the time to make sure you said what you wanted to say.
October 9th, 2019 at 9:27 AM ^
As soon as I saw this thread title, I knew it was a misquote. To be fair to WD, Shea is a very quiet speaker. Even quieter this year. Almost seems like he's partaking too much in the legal green stuff, but I'm sure that's still against team policy (or NCAA for that matter).
October 9th, 2019 at 10:01 AM ^
“I think there’s a lot that you guys don’t see,” Patterson said.
Here's my attempt: There's a lot of guys that Shea "don't see"!
Seriously though. I'm sure Shea and everyone are trying their best and I'm equally sure it sucks to get shit on by everyone. Hopefully Shea can turn it around and salvage something for this year because he looks like a guy who has no business even thinking about making an NFL practice squad at this moment.

Shea is definitely missing open receivers but damn after watching the replay last night, the UM receivers create no separation on most plays.
Klatt and Urban are right. Klatt throughout the game said UM’s receivers make to attempt to help the QB and stop routes short and Urban said without a running game that UM will struggle to throw the ball because the defense is not respecting UM’s running game.
