I believe when Jim says JJ is once in a generation he’s talking about in terms of Michigan players not nation wide.

Disagree. He's seen lots been around lots. He means what he says when he says generational! Go blue!

[@jackpackage4278]

@@JoshuaJohnson-pq7hf trust me I’m as big of a Michigan fan as anyone but “generational” is guys like Joe Burrows, Trevor Lawrence, and Caleb Williams. I’m not saying JJ isn’t or can’t be as good as those guys but he would basically have to break every Michigan qb record we have to be on that kind of level. Maybe he will, maybe not, but Jim had to let him loose for it to even be possible. Go Blue!

Exactly. If you take any other qb we’ve had over the last decade and they throw those 2 pick 6s we lose by probably 3 TDs. He stayed strong and put the team on his back and we still almost won. I think JJ is about to go nuclear this year.

[@jackpackage4278]

@@stevesalisbury3657 the problem with our D that game was we couldn’t get any qb pressure unless we blitzed and when we did blitz TCU exploited it perfectly. Certainly not Minter’s best game but TCU played exceptionally, especially in their run game.

@jackpackage4278 I know what happened but I'm saying it shouldn't of happened that's all. If we didn't let them put up so many points like every drive,we let osu get 20 something and most teams the whole year. 2 pick 6's didn't help but that only 14 points

Then you don't know football buddy....

[@benniewoods9514]

Great guy. But needed an X's and O's OC to help out a strong run game, scheme, diagram plays , cohesive pass structure isn't present. TCU game is all you need to see. Not an elite pass game and run heavy offense means less QB play making. Don't get his inability to see McCarthy as just a Mobil QB , he isnt CJ Stroud like or Mahomes😂 like at all.

[@James-mm6jh]

If you say so, but what do you know? Lol

[@kusari86]

It's not his fault. Michigan ran the ball too much and didn't allow the passing game to develop. They only began passing more during the last few games. Seems like that gonna change this season

[@rodrigok1220]

I’ll give you that… he certainly isn’t CJ Stroud. JJ actually beats his rivals🤣

[@carlknepfler8976]

He isn’t out in the same position as stroud. Stroud couldn’t beat Michigan because they were too one dimensional. Michigan had been held back by the same issue but on the run side not pass. We actually don’t know what the ceiling is for JJ. It could be stroud level. The idea is to find the balance of run pass. It’s elusive. The defense and coaching trick plays let us down on the TCU game. We had the firepower to put up 60 in that game. Run it back.

@@Maxrotor1 yes. I expect that he'll have improved big time over the off-season. I'm looking for him to be special this year. But you are right. We don't know how good, or if they can really compete against the SEC. I think they'll prob be contenders this year, likely in the playoff again and have a chance to win the whole thing

[@thecrimsomcardyugioh9810]

The guy threw what 3 wide open passes because the Ohio state DBs were looking at the sun lol, then y’all go and get beat by TCU. Ohio State is just a better team. Michigan won but Ohio state is better. I’d say Georgia is slightly better then Ohio state but they are close on power levels. Michigan just can’t play with the big boys sure you beat Ohio state but they beat y’all for 10 straight years. I’m still not buying into Michigan am in not a fan of either team lol
