So at this point, shut your mouth underwood, humble yourself and prove something. I prefer a talented and humble leader, not big mouth “well he’s inexperienced” one.
Good Post but that applies to a lot of these kids - young,dumb and full of C**. Sometimes their actions come from parenting/coaching other times they're just caught up in unrestrained enthusiasm in the moment.But someone has to reign them in and point them in the right direction and proper sportsman ship before things spiral down into the bloods vs the crips type of crap

 posters in the comment section had some interesting things to say:
- "The hype is starting to dwindle.  I don't see a high IQ player.  I think UM has another Joe Milton." (kinda funny as that's what I said to Mdot - months ago just yanking his chain)

 - "Some of us have been trying to get you guys to this. Good to see you offer the apology. We gotta quit hyping and clamoring for Bryce to be Superman. He’s young and missing a lot of reads on the field still."

- "He’s at about a 50% completion rate.  Running is smarter."

- "I don’t think that most of us that were upset with the game cared that we grounded them to dust on ground. It’s more-so that he was 8-17 for 86yards. That’s abysmal. Not all his fault, but the staff has to give him some help too. How do we go from using TEs heavy vs Wash, but nothing at all vs Sparty? It just feels clunky and scattered week to week in the pass game and Bryce looked uncomfortable and bailed out of some pockets he shouldn’t have."

- "Watching Underwood  so far, you get the feeling he is very nervous back in the pocket. so far lacks the nerve to stand in there. Now is it just because he is young and he will develop it or is it a flaw he can't overcome ?"

Not a high IQ player is where I'm leaning. it's not an personal IQ insult, but a football IQ assessment. There's athletic talent and then there's guys that can see and feel the game and I don't see it with him.

The second point, i think this is why Denard and Webb are speaking out. Everyone is quick to trash offensive play calling (myself included before now). What if they are calling plays to involve the tight ends more and Underwood is the one choosing not to? The flaw I see is that he can't read defenses. Again, that could definitely be an experience thing, but his overall football IQ right now is a red flag from my seat. Experience will get him further, but I'm starting to believe his ceiling is much lower that preseason expectations and a huge check said it was. 

Now with that being said, i still hate constantly running on 1st and 2nd down over and over.  That's why I'd love to know when and where the 16 RPOs were at, which we'll never know.

To me it is simple. he is physically, talented and gifted, but very inexperienced.

he will continue to improve at reading defenses and using the pass to beat teams   

in the meantime, Michigan is still dangerous because they’re so good at running the ball

Including Underwood, he can move the chains by shaking takles and taking off. How to you chart/plan for broken plays? The downside of course is injury and every team always has at least one Kamikaze - ALWAYS. Who doesn't care if you''re Marino,Elway,Brady or Mahomes(how does Montana always seem forgotten :017:) he's coming for you
