I agree Threet is the stronger QB, and Sheridan should be back up. Maybe even Carlos Brown deserves a shot at 2nd string. We didn't get Pryor, that is who would be ideal to run this offense.
The question now is to scrap the spread and run the old drop back pass scheme with a strong - armed Threet, or lose more games and interest of fans by running a new offense with non-running QB's.
COACH ROD IS A LOOSER. WE WILL ALWAYS LOOSE THE BIG ONE WITH THIS LOOSER.
Well this may be the worst Michigan team for several decades - you'd have to go back to Bump Elliot to see worse.
Neither QB has any running talent. Threet has potential, his throws seemed strong. Why Sheridan is even allowed to dress is a mystery.
We have one wideout capable of eventually successfully running a triple option offense, Hemingway.
Our offense has little to no ability to move the ball, of all the scores only the FG was legit (that is, not the result of an unforced give-away). And even that came off of a personal foul call against the Utes. Once Utah stopped handing us points on a silver platter our offense did nothing.
Around 5PM on Sat I stopped worrying about OSU, we will lose that game (Pryor's gonna enjoy this one). Unfortunately, Northwestern (Bacher is a strong QB, with speed and competitive drive) will beat us. Illinois will absolutely smoke us (both literally and figuratively and then that evening in their b0ngz). Wissy will run all over us, and we have to play Penn State in Happy Valley: that will be a LONG game my fellow maize and blue. If you have State fan friends start being nice and downplaying the game to them now, it's been 18 years since they've beaten us in the Big House.
At this point, I'm concerned about just beating Miami-Ohio and Toledo.
Will we get better? Probably in 2-3 years (more like 3), until then fasten your seat belts guys.
Michigan fans deserve credit for their patience, at least so far. Impatient fans and ADs can lead to quick firings, which have hurt programs such as Baylor and Ole Miss. Compare UM fans to those at Louisville last year, where criticism of Steve Kragthorpe was so out of control after his first year in which he took over for a program that Bobby Petrino left in poor shape, that Rick Pitino made a statement asking fans to chill out. The football and basketball teams are both very well coached and things will eventually improve, but it will take some time.
