unsportsmanlike!
How do we know that it wasn't a strategic move by Harbaugh designed to keep OSU out of the playoffs?

He's crazy, sure, but it is possible that he is crazy like a fox.

And for the record- I don't want to make it out like I think JJ is the savior of Michigan football. I don't. I just think how the coaches are handling the kid is god awful. If you're going to burn his shirt and play him every single game- at least give him a few series or a QTR to really play and get into the zone. 

And the other previous "savior" Michigan QB's like TaterTot, Denard, Devin Gardner, or Shane Morris never flashed quite like JJ did. TaterTot didn't have the elite arm talent like JJ is showing. Denard was a glorified RB who really could not throw the football. Devin Gardner was actually pretty talented but inaccurate- and he also lost a year and a half of QB development by switching to WR. For what it's worth- think you could make a great case DG's college coaches wrecked what potential he had. And then Shane Morris just sucked at football- every time he got playing time or snaps he was just bad- he was the original Graham Mertz.

JJ is getting snaps and really flashing. He is showing you everything you want to see in a QB. He's got a big arm but more importantly he's accurate. He throws the deep ball with great touch and timing. He's not Michael Vick- but he really can run a little bit and pick up yards with his feet. His release is effortless and super quick- and he can evade the rush and escape the pocket and throw on the run accurately across his body- maybe the hardest thing there is for a QB to do. Every time he is getting in the game he is showing some seriously high level traits. Like I have not been this excited for a Michigan QB in a long long long long long time. He needs more playing time, period.

I thought that O'Korn could have made the climb - he had the tools but somehow fell apart

Regardless, I don't think there's anyway that JJ isn't starting next year. He's just going to have too much experience enrolling early and going through spring ball, then going through fall camp, then taking snaps in every game as a true frosh, then going through another spring ball and fall camp.

Only argument I can possibly see for him not starting this year is- true frosh/rookie- but he'll have plenty of development via 2 spring balls and 2 fall camps and an entire season of playing time. There's just no way they don't hand the reins over to him in 2022.

O'Korn fell apart before he ever got to Michigan. O'Korn had a heck of a true freshman season at Houston and then his sophomore year he completely disintegrated, melted down and fell apart at the seams and got benched for a guy that is playing WR in the NFL right now.

He'd shown a few strong flashes I remember him peeling of a Steve Young like run.And could put some zip on the ball

JJ just shows talent and ability to do things that Cade McNamara just simply cannot do....they are not going to be able to keep this on the bench forever....

I agree Jeem better quit faffing around or the portal could look invitng ask Justin Fields
