I called Tuttle back in Spring, and I am sticking with him.

[@khrisstake2210]

David. Tuttle is life, 70

[@markeastman5910]

Jack Tuttle starts...Alex Orji in many option packages, Davis Warren comes in and clean up. Prediction. Go Blue! I love Michigan Wolverines Football!

Wish it could be that easy. Will see..

[@khrisstake2210]

Absolutely not

[@markeastman5910]

@@khrisstake2210 alright Orji, Edward's...who ever is best. I do like Orji's attitude towards the game. He will be a Michigan great.

[@di114n2]

Sounds like a 7-5 year If I’ve ever heard one. Just start Orji and stick with it . Tuttle is not the answer at all and Davis Warren has done this same song and dance every year with looking good in a spring gameb

[@khrisstake2210]

[@whatever6992]

Tuttle or Warren should start. Alex will have a huge workload though by bringing him in for the host of plays he is most comfortable executing.

[@leojanuszewski1019]

Agreed.

[@k6r659]

Orji clears.

[@woodshed_moments]

Have you lost your friggin mind? Clearly you haven't watched the last 3 seasons and seeing Michigan under Sherrone Moore assembled an RPO offense... It's the exact opposite, Tuttle or Warren takes us back not moves us forward. This is precisely the reason why we have the conundrum we have right now that really isn't a conundrum. If we were a drop-back system, then we wouldn't have bought in Jayden Davis or Alex Orji in the first place. Wake up!

[@davonteshivers2830]

Huge workload? Your comment doesn’t make sense. What have these two shown you given the options we have on offense that will help us win games?

[@woodshed_moments]

@@davonteshivers2830 agreed, the dual-threat has the easier job, because he's not running for his life 🏈

[@markeastman5910]

Love the show guys. Great job, keep it up!

[@kevinjackson2122]

Davis Warren is by far the best passing QB on this team, and it's not even close. Everyone wants Orji because he's a big, strong, mobile guy but he can't pass yet. Tuttle is like a Hybrid between Orji and Warren, but the man is going into his 7th year for a reason; he's a jack of all trades and a master of none.

[@allensaunders449]

Yep. And in the final analysis good QBs need to be good passers from the pocket it's a must

[@danielroberts3920]

You are dreaming! Stallions got fired !

[@cameronsmarshall6886]

Alabama went through this last year. Jalen Milro and Orji are similair HS prospects and both are taken over for a major program after losing a first round QB. Bama had other more polished QB's but they stuck with Milroe through the ups and downs and that is how they beat Georgia down the stretch. I say hand the keys to Orji let him learn by fire and by the end of the year Michigan will be hard to beat.

[@danielroberts3920]

You comparing Meatchicken with Bama is ridiculous! Shows how ignorant and pathetic you Meatchicken fans are!

[@positroll7870]

Tuttle / Warren battling for Qb1+2 Orji comes in for 3rd and short, and red zone, combining with Mullings to pound the defense.

[@davidwright1728]

Michigan basketball 🏀🏀🏀 is going to be dam good 👍

[@leojanuszewski1019]

Alex Orji is a beastly physical specimen and the most athletic stud on the team, BUT...I think he's too strong to be an accurate passer. Like Joe Milton. It's the same reason that Wilt Chamberlain & Shaq were abysmal at free throws: too much strength to be accurate. A pillar of Michigan's recent success has been being very good at not turning the ball over. I fear that Orji will throw more interceptions than Cade & JJ. We don't have enough racehorse talent to compensate for an interception-prone QB to the point that we can win another conference title. Just my opinion. I would be SO happy to be wrong.

[@pmaximus5659]

You’re so correct, we all agree

[@danielroberts3920]

All these people thinking they know more than Jim Harbaugh's literal protege is hilarious. Moore will pick the right guy.

[@davidwright1728]

TUTTLE......

[@muddwhistle7833]

I’ve been to 2 practices, Michigan is running a 5 running back set, instead of using quarterbacks and wide receivers, that’s why they stopped recruiting quarterbacks and wide receivers post Covid

[@danielroberts3920]

Post covid they had Stallions, so recruiting didn't matter much! Now without Stallions, they are screwed! Back to winning maybe 1 out 15 again!

[@Michael-rx6ji]

Orji should maybe convert to a linebacker

[@gridirongodsNetwork]

The Davis Warren story is inspiring football fans on and off the field. I don't see how any sane human being can look at our spring game and be convinced Orji should start. You can't talk about QBs in a vacuum, and when the discussion is about Alex Orji that is exactly what people do. Who are the players that he has naturally chemistry with? Who is the Robin to his Batman? For JJ McCarthy it was Blake Corum. I could easily project Warren's play style combined with Donovan's skill set, and envision a new version of Kurt Warner and Marshall Faulk's greatest show on turf.

[@positroll7870]

Orji with Mullings will be a deadly combination, too - on 3rd and short, as well as red zone situations.

[@gridirongodsNetwork]

@@positroll7870 I like the idea of Orji with Mullings, Hall, and Bredeson pummeling opposing defenses. Smash.

[@keeganimhoff]

They’re gonna run the qbs so they’ll probably all get to play meaningful minutes at some point

[@user-xz9xy8bh6r]

Have you seen the MI football schedule? TX, USC, OREGON, OHIO ST its Dynamic. We need a dynamic QB. AO is the only QB in the room with that dynamic ceiling and floor. With all do respect to the OB room the others just dont meet the talent potential of that schedule and 12 team playoff. GO BLUE!!

[@keeganimhoff]

He might come in in the national championship if somebody gets hurt

[@OdawaTraveler]

Warren does things Tuttle just doesn't. He makes passes when pressured, and Tuttle just doesn't do that.

[@keeganimhoff]

Which ever QB is the best pocket passer nomatter how athletic you are got to be a good passer from the pocket

[@davonteshivers2830]

If you actually watch football you’ll see that’s no longer the blueprint defenses are too good you don’t have to be a dual threat but you have to be mobile.

[@pmaximus5659]

I agree with Tuttle or Warren with Orgi in packages . Orgi just runs and will take a pounding as the season goes on

[@andresavage3894]

I keep hearing people say they are worry about Alex can he throw the ball at a high passing rate listen if Michigan can when a big ten title with Mr check down Cade they can when with Alex at the Qb position. And people also need to stop looking at high school stats people do improve and who to say that his passing percentage could have been effect by receiver drops Also there no perfect throwing motion I use to hear people talk about JJ foot work and ball placement O he can't throw the deep pass. How many times did Michigan throw the deep pass? Every Qb is going to miss some passes and sometime receivers run the wrong routes that can cause interceptions. If he couldn't play the Qb position he would have never been offer.

[@leojanuszewski1019]

Cade didn't throw picks.

[@andresavage3894]

I don't know what games you are looking at did you see the Georgia game he was bad. He left a lot of Td on the field in a lot of games.

And we all wonder why Michigan cannot recruit highly-rated wide receivers.

[@AlexanderMundy]

If Tuttle is the answer. Just SMDH. If Warren is the answer. Just SMDH. If Orji is the answer, just SMDH. QB recruiting under Jim was a joke.

[@Michael-rx6ji]

When I saw Jack Tuttle play and is limited time, he did remind me a lot of JJ. Very mobile very quick release good arm

[@davonteshivers2830]

You’re insane

[@khrisstake2210]

Just start the freshman

[@keeganimhoff]

Yessss the triple option!!

[@davonteshivers2830]

There’s no way Davis Warren wins this. It’s clear your bias for whatever reason. The fact that this is still a topic is comical and you guys are reaching for views. Davis made two passes one was against a walk on DB who isnt an FBS level athlete and will never sniff the field (respectfully) and the other Fred Moore had 50yac yards. We don’t get to see their practices so all we have is the spring game and he only threw the ball 8-9 times. Orji has clearly shown them enough the past two years to not go get a QB out of the portal. They’ve been grooming him like they did JJ his freshman year. So come week 2 vs Texas the moment isn’t too big for him cuz he played meaningful snaps on the way to a national championship. Tuttle is hot garbage water and he’s never flashed or showed anything that can help a team win or just flat out produce as a power 4 QB. Plus the lack of receiver talent can be negated by Orji’s legs Tuttle is bound to turn the ball over we have enough tape that backs this up.

[@showyarightray]

Michigan with a true dual threat QB is dangerous .. Denard wasnt a great passer either and he is a legend, Start Orji !!!

[@davonteshivers2830]

@@khrisstake2210 too many to say but let’s start with the the athletic department hiring Rich Rod and letting him run his offense even though he didn’t have the personnel for 3-4 years and when he did he was fired. Then we bring in a Michigan man it he had some traction but soon fizzled out. Within both of those tenures no coach focused on the line of scrimmage. To keep this short though look at all the changes that were made when Harbaugh got here and the last few years.

Do you have any idea how pathetic it sounds to talk about a Michigan quarterback that we're not even sure if he can throw the football that well? This is scary and ridiculous

[@davonteshivers2830]

What are the other options? One we know is 29yrs old and has thrown for just over 1k yards has 6tds and 6ints with a 59% completion rate and can’t stay healthy. The other is walk on who has gone 5/14 for 89 yards and an interception in garbage time against shitty teams over the last 4 years. Or AO who helped us win a natty with his legs and clearly showed he can throw the ball in the spring game. Also we saw one designed QB run for AO in the spring game. That’s a clear indication of Michigan not trying to show their gamelan to Texas imo.

@@davonteshivers2830 Michigan doesn't have a game plan at the moment.

@@Michael-rx6ji I’m sure they do. We’re going to take a step back but I believe the offense with Orji at QB is going to be a down hill west coast offense. If it’s efficient we have a strong chance of making it to the second round of the playoffs maybe even the final 4.
