Nah Peters isn't that great. The playbook was elementary with him at the helm. Not to mention he lacks the umph that Harbaugh wants from his QBs.

we may find out......
You're all about the hot takes needlessly ripping on players' performances, huh?
That's an odd take.
Peters was rated higher.
Peters had better offers.
Peters didn't need an extra year of high school to get to where he was.
Peters was better as a redshirt freshman than Speight, despite the fact that Speight was on a better team (10-3 to 8-5) with better receivers (Butt, Darboh, Chesson compared to McKeon, Peoples-Jones, Crawford):
Peters (2017): 52.8% completions, 4 TD, 2 INT
Speight (2015): 36% completions, 1 TD, 1 INT
There's absolutely nothing to indicate that Peters is on a worse career arc than Speight.

Brandon Peters is in a tough spot. He could continue on at Michigan---except Shea Patterson and Dylan McCaffrey are better. So I agree with everyone who is saying he will transfer, and it's not because he's bad. He will do a great job somewhere else. His accuracy is beautiful. I just don't want to see him at Wisconsin. Seems like he'd be a perfect fit there.
Your point about his arc is very interesting.
Good luck Wilton
Appreciate your time at Michigan and the classy way you conducted yourself as a Wolverine.
Has to be 4 or less

Is Wilton Speight the type of player who can do that?
April 13th, 2018 at 12:11 AM ^
Either way, spending a year in sunny LA with Cali girls at one of the best public schools in America isn’t a bad deal either.
Good luck to him! And thanks to him for being better than we thought he'd be in 2016!!
with lotsa extra protection.
Man, this seems like a mismatch (unless he's going all-in on the Westwood coeds).

wish him well, but i think this is the last we will hear of Wilton.
for what they did to him..
I agree that this may signify Shea being immediately eligible. Good Luck WS.

Playing in the Rose Bowl and being in Westwood is never a bad idea.

I'm impressed Speight got this offer. I thought he'd end up at Wyoming where he'd be almost sure to start. He will have a tough time earning starts at UCLA.
Chip Kelly and Speight seem like a terrible fit. If you can't run in a Kelly offense you better be really accurate, more accurate than Speight has recently shown. I will definitely be interested to see him play there.

Everyone is missing the even bigger deal here.........
This means Shea Patterson was cleared by the NCAA. Guarantee that's the reason Speight was waiting to announce, because he may have been needed back.

Not public yet, but guarantee that info was probably received today by the AD. They will likely announce tomorrow right before a big recruiting weekend.

Who you are responding to showed up differently in the app compared to on my laptop. Go blue!
