Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

Well he did have Luck. But that was a long time ago and not at Michigan.

I think you said it before and you're probably right, Jeem is a QB maximizer, he's not a QB "developer" or "whisperer" who can take maybe not as talented a QB and develop him in an innovative system which finds creative ways to find easy yards and manufacture big plays in the passing game.

Jeem just gonna take what he's got at QB and get the most of that QB in his rigid kinda out-dated throwback run heavy west coast, play-action system. Jeem ain't ever gonna have wide open QB reliant systems and develop QBs like Ryan Day or Lincoln Riley. Jeem just is what he is.

I thought Brandon Peters was going to be his breakthrough QB.  I don't think he's holding JJ back.  I actually sort of appreciate him not simplifying his passing offense, like Ryan Day does.  There's nothing wrong with that, it certainly flattens the learning curve, and makes guys more game ready from Day 1, but I think it also lowers the ceiling.  But he's also not Jimbo Fisher, with his NCAA PS2 playbook of 80 plays that nobody knows without having to huddle. I think he's got the right balance, and the fact that he's running it with a sophomore is impressive.  I'm interested to see what McCarthy does in this offense with a full year of starting under his belt.  It's a true pro style offense.  I think the OL will probably be a little worse next year, but his weapons should be better, and on paper they have the best defense in the country.

I thought it was gonna be McCaffrey. Blood lines and all. Both of those QBs wound up transferring and well stunk at their new schools too. Jeem had some pretty bad QB evals. Milton was hot garbage. Cade was probably the best HS recruit he had at QB til JJ and even then Cade was just an average player. 

OL definitely gonna take a little step back. Has to. Losing the best center in cfb and the best Michigan has had in a minute. Ryan Hayes is also a pretty good LT. 

Defense should be even better. I’ll bet DJ Turner and Mike Morris go pro. Turner always in position to make plays but doesn’t. Not sure he’s a big loss but he’s a solid B1G CB. Morris was a breakout star- that’s a loss but Michigan should be set at EDGE. IF Mazi Smith comes back that defense will be disgusting. Fingers crossed.

'24 5* QB Dylan Raiola- the #1 player and #1 QB in 2024 de-commits from Ohio State. Kid is the son of a Nebraska legend. Wonder if Rhule is getting 'em. 

Rhule didn't keep uncle Donovan Raiola on the staff because the O-line kicked ass last season

Former Badger.


It's a plot.

Badgers are gonna git 5* QB Dylan Raiola???

Mertz might keep Wisky away from 5* QB's for a minute.
