Michigan’s offense identity will always be run heavy first. Play the QB that gives you the best ability to run that system. I like Orji given his dual threat abilities and can open up new run options, but if his throwing isn’t on par then defenses will stack the box and stuff the run offense entirely. Whichever decision the coaches go with I will trust and support 🙂

[@gen-ave8547]

Yes run first but JJ was still able to make throws when he needed to and I’m not convinced Orji can make the throws that will be needed downfield

[@gen-ave8547]

I hear what your saying but from what I saw at the spring game was Davis Warren that was pushing the ball downfield

[@timdepaulis2487]

He made one long throw that was against a walk on CB. I’m positive Orji would have made that same throw.

[@gen-ave8547]

@@timdepaulis2487 and Orji made NO long throws. And if somehow you feel some type of way we’ll just go look at the analyst that covered that game like Sam Webb. We’re not blind we know who threw the ball better that spring game and it wasn’t Orji

[@bcjammer87]

Certainly Michigan lost a lot to the league but has some legit talent stepping in on offense. Tough O line with Donovan Edwards as the lead back, and keep your eyes on Kalel Mullings… dude is absolute bruiser. Great WR room too. All that combined with Orji being a dual threat could equal more big things.

[@michaelfortenberry5735]

Sleeping on Warren is a mistake. Pretty sure that people are diminishing his physical abilities because 1) Orji is a straight up freak, 2) he's white, and 3) they don't know just how athletic this kid is. And after the spring game, I'm sold on Warren.

[@user-fd4qq7yo6p]

Warren will be qb 1 or qb 2 imo

[@gen-ave8547]

You lost me about the white part…tf does that have to do with anything? If anything the QB has rarely had a chance at QB at Michigan

[@dragonsurge1]

Why would you say Michigan doesn’t need a great QB? They don’t have the same skill or depth at WR and RB that they had last season. If the QB is just average then the whole offense will be just average.

[@colinfletcher7520]

With Dono and orji in a backfield mixed I. With Mullens and Jordan marshal they should be able to be the top running team in the country (minus the service academy’s) orji has a decent arm. With a whole off season he can fix his mechanics enough to become effective enough to pass

[@marcov7256]

If Tutal could stay health, I think he could easily make a run at it. Warren will be the better fit, if Moore goes stronger on the pass. The dual QB has instability issue but might just work. I don't see this season having a lot of time for the backups to play, with the meat grinder schedule.

[@cheekynandos2499]

Nice video. Warren had a good spring game, but I think that was mostly because he was untouchable. Last year in full contact games he was pretty bad, and I’m worried about his arm strength, size, speed, and slower release.

[@rickyortiz2463]

As a Wolverine fan, On3 is my second favorite recruiting site only behind Rivals..

[@dragonsurge1]

Why is Rivals your favorite? 247 is the most accurate recruiting site and updates ranking most frequently. I think on3 has the best user interface and the best KZbin channel though

[@rynebozzell]

JDP stealing the ROC Boys lingo; not cool. Looking forward to the day when JD transforms back into his awesome self.

[@ben_f3117]

Really confused why everyone is sleeping on Davis Warren. I get the hype for Orji, but we don’t need a game break or home run hitter, just a guy to run the offense. I get his running ability could make up for his throwing, but why? Based solely on this spring game Warren looked way more polished as a thrower than Orji did. We’re going to have a top tier run game, we need a qb to throw the ball, not run it.

[@loganzirkle3835]

Go Blue!!!

[@melo7969]

Honestly no one has seen the other 14 practices. Orji might be killing it and just played poorly on Saturday in comparison to warren.

[@Hackshots68]

He didn't play poorly.

[@marcus2674]

We need a few Receivers

[@Taterology]

People just forgetting about Tuttle. Once Tuttle gets healthy i think he will be QB1. There arent any great options on the roster. They needs a game manager and maybe have some Orji packages.😂😂

[@user-fd4qq7yo6p]

Not a ORJI fan. I just don’t see him reading defenses. Hope I’m wrong & his mechanics are really wonky. However, good luck tackling that mofo.

[@mainframeonlinegamingtv3189]

Go Blue

[@farriskhan2352]

JJ was the GOAT of Michigan QBs (including Harbaugh and Brady). As for Orji... if he is 80% of J. Milroe, I will be happy.

[@user-fd4qq7yo6p]

We are replacing 18 starters. Think that’s the most in the top 10 ranked teams. We win 9 games I’m happy. That sched is effin brutal

[@CREATIVEnameIno]

Michigan fan here. JJ best ability was him running in pocket throwing accurate Short easy passes and 3rd down conversion I think Davis Warren should start he’s got most experience in the system. He’s accurate and apparently clocked 22mph in practice. He looked like a JJ clone in the spring game and he’s more athletic than you think You can still bring in orji 5-10 gadget and designs plays to keep defense's off balance

[@Mark-zx2bq]

JJ's best ability was handing the ball off.

Davis Warren qb1

[@XrobospikeX]

Alex Orji should be a fill in quarterback, because he’s not very accurate. Michigan cannot afford to have turnovers due to bad throws. I could see them possibly switching quarterbacks now and then throughout the game. If a quarterbacks accuracy isn’t very good, it will only get worse under pressure from the opposing team. Seriously, this shouldn’t be over looked, because Alex Orji can run the ball. This video seems like a big hype campaigning for him, but I’m not drinking the Kool-Aid. I would dare to say that he’s always had accuracy issues and that’s not going to change, especially under pressure. 〽️GoBlue

[@jakobhazeltine2688]

[@TheOldManInBlue]

Just my 2 cents, we need to stop with what JJ did. Love JJ, but he is on to do his thing in the NFL. The worst thing you can do to up and comers is to remind them about JJ. We know, JJ was the man and now we have to move on. The way I see it is we have a running qb and a passing qb. Maybe, platoon qbs, is that unheard of? Blue does it will all the other positions, why not qb? Like I said, just thoughts running through this old man’s head.😊 GO BLUE!!!!!

[@woodshed_moments]

Agreed, Orji should start because he is the most prepared for the way the offense is designed. I like this kid Warren, but he is less mobile than JJ was, and JJ was no rusher but he was at least solidly mobile. And at that, he was fantastic. Davis Warren is not going to get to start, and he knows it, but because of his showing during spring game will more than likely set off a competition between he and the QB closest to his actual typology - Jayden Denegal, unfortunately for those two, starting either one of them actually sets the program back... all that said, Davis Warren has a future at Michigan as a QB - but again, as already stated, moving in the direction of the drop back passer would (effectively) set the offense back. Then they may as well go dig up Cade McNamara if that's the case. The Michigan Wolverine offense is no longer a pocket passing / drop back passer offense... they finally got with it (with help from John Harbaugh) and stepped Jim into the 21st century. That little nudge, pushed Michigan into the profile they are in now.. and rightly so, they are not looking back. The way I see it, the QB depth chart will look something like: 1. Orji (the Wolverines own Jalen Milroe/Denard Robinson redeux) 2. Warren/Denegal (situationally interchangeable they are so alike) 3. Tuttle (when healed) 4. Davis (warming a bench as he should he's too new) Michigan does not need to hit the portal for a QB, the irony is, if there's anybody considering the portal, I think it would be Jayden Denegal to go first, because his tenure is behind Warren's, making him basically ancillary at this point. Denegal's only advantage, is he slightly more mobile, and he's just a bigger guy... as for accuracy, I think he and Warren are pretty similar, but I think he has a slightly stronger arm though... he can sling it. What's funny though, notice how we're not talking about the defense? Regardless of maize or blue, look how they played during the spring game? They were friggin plug and play... This is going to be a good test season for Michigan. M Go Blue 🏈

[@jamietwigg5152]

Dude really? Copy and paste your bs across many pages? Your take is BS based on a practice where the #1 offense and #1 defense never played each other, they draft teams, it was a hodge podge of 1-4 in depth. Oh Davis Warren has wheel, clocked at 22 mph in practice, and I you watched all his play at UofM and his limited HS film you'd know that. More proof of how clueless you really are about UofM.

[@jackpackage4278]

Warren is actually super athletic he just balled so hard in the pocket in the spring game we didn’t get to see it.

[@woodshed_moments]

@@jackpackage4278 I watch the whole spring game, I didn't see it... A lot of people didn't see it, but he was a strong passer, which is only part of the game today. If he could improve his mobility, he would be far more dynamic.

Brah Michigan won the Natty and needed JJ to throw a needle between 2 DBs the WR didn’t even think he’d get it and never finished the catch. 😂 so yeah yall better get a DECENT QB cuz it’s lookin like OSU could just field there defense the whole game and win.
