We ABSOLUTELY could've gotten a legit one-season Quinn Ewers type QB. OSU got Howard when they had multiple 5-star QBs already on the roster. Mike Keene is not taking us to the CFP, so if Underwood is not prepared to be a legitimate QB next year (which is 100% a possibility), then we're winning like 8 or 9 games.

@timdepaulis2487 OSU lost Air Noland because he likely saw the writing on the wall that he wouldn't win the job (Julian Sayin has looked very good apparently). OSU is already going to have two 5-stars and a couple 4-stars in their room next season. And, idk... I find it hard to believe Miller Moss was the ONLY legit guy available when there are competent QBs on several teams. We could've plucked one away. I'm just not comfortable having a true freshman starting for us, especially if it seems forced because the other QB we have are mid.

The arrogance behind a writer telling fans that their opinions are " absurd" and how they're gonna "educate" people is rich! Part of the fans problems are you writers hyping things up to a fever level then moving the goal post. Sam Webb saying fireworks. Portnoy promising the top QB yearly despite BU there. Hole telling us to wait as better things are coming. And when they announce a Mtn West QB is the answer and some fans cringe. They are absurd and uneducated. Here's the question we should be asking: What does this hire do for us vs Ohio and Oregon? Those are the obstacles to our goal. Our D will be taking a step back next year so no safety net there for QBs. Is Keane that much better than WD without M Graham, WJ, KG and JS? With no Loveland to bail him out? If BU or JD don't pan out or need time, we are in the same spot next year despite a cupcake schedule. Keane is not winning big games for us. I seen him play vs UM live. He's not that good and definitely not lighting up Ohio or Oregon. The formula would've been to bring in moss, tell BU he will be the highest paid intern ala Arch Manning getting sporadic playing time. Build him up while using a real veteran QB to take us to the BIG Championship game. Keane is gutsy but hes not the answer. It's clear now more than ever, BU needs to develop fast.

[@DailyThoughtswithKyle]

We werent going to get everything we wanted but I think there are some things to be concerned about with this QB. For one, his playstyle is different from Underwood. Will that hurt the offensive unit as a whole since it would be pulled in two different directions? Next, the number of interceptions. Which I think come from him having tunnel vision. For example, in the MI game it seemed like he wanted to one particular WR and Will Johnson finally made him pay for it with the pick 6.

I guess you don't remember the Michigan game with about 5 minutes left in the 4th quarter he threw three interceptions on one drive two got called back and then Will Johnson got the pick six, also threw a pick six against Washington st. also PFF is not end all be all, most of time it's not taking seriously, so you just have to watch the tape and judge for yourself my feeling is that Most of the QB'S didn't want to come with underwood looking over their shoulder, I think most look at the Oklahoma game in week two do you think you can win with Keene or do you want a Freshman to make his first road game start there,

[@HustonBrice]

Man it’s like people are forgetting we still have Jayden Davis. I honestly believe we will see him before Bryce. Now don’t get me wrong we may see Bryce mid season or start of 2026 but I have a feeling that the starter is gonna be Jayden Davis in 2025. Just my opinion

[@stevenvargo2440]

It's a down year for portal QBs. There's no question about it. Couple that with the fact that no elite portal QB is gonna come to Michigan for the following reasons: 1. They won't want Bryce Underwood lurking over their shoulder. 2. They just hired a new OC. Nobody knows what this offense will look like next year. 3. Their offensive personnel is still below average in proven talent across the board. 4. Michigan won't pay portal QBs much to come in only for 1 season. Those are legit reasons why Keene is most likely the best we can do. If we had missed on him and Finn, Warren probably stays and starts again next year until Underwood is ready. Do we really want that?

[@jofi4580]

This next year is a progress year. Keene and Davis will give Underwood competition and enable the new OC to develop his plan. UM should be very good this next season but I'm going to hold my breathe and judgement until I see how the team plays and how the coaches adapt.

[@scottd1903]

Why has everyone forgotten about Jadyn Davis? He was a top 10 QB recruit last year, and positioned to be the guy starting in 2025. I'm very much against them starting a freshman at QB, even if he's a "generational talent." I hope the plan is for davis and Keene to compete for the spot next year, and then rotate young in like they did with JJ his freshman year. Then have davis (assuming he starts 2025) and young compete for it in 2026 like with mcnamara and Mccarthy in 2022.

I can see early in the year Keene starts with Underwood working in and taking over late if it’s a blowout. But Keene absolutely starts game one in my opinion.

There are still things Bryce needs to get better at.

Probably didn’t progress as a QB as we hoped. It happens with recruits sometimes. Now if Davis progresses this year and earns the starting job everyone in the fan base will be just fine with that. However, the talk around Jayden is not an expectation that he is ready to start next year. This can happen sometimes and it’s why a lot of programs have 5-6 QBs to see who develops lol

To everyone complaining about this move: Why? The ONLY downside is that it’ll be difficult to pitch some skill players and potential transfers since we don’t know who is throwing them the ball, that’s it and I’d argue if it is explained to them what the approach is here and they still don’t want to come then good. You don’t bring in a guy that is a star and assumed to win the role, that’s how you fracture the already shallow room and piss Davis off while making Bryce think you’re not that confident in him. Also, after shelling out an ungodly amount to Underwood, you’re not going to pay a transfer QB 3 Mil just to mentor and maybe start. You get a proven guy who wants to be there to mentor and push the room at a moderate NIL cost and push either your blue chip sophomore or true freshman to start. Worst comes to worst, this guy wins us 9 games this year and 10 next year with the level of play he brings. You don’t bring in a presumed 3 Mil starter and create friction. Look what Day has done to his QB room.

I am beginning to think that our HC is a little to overconfident in his coaching and development abilities and the win over OSU this year only fed into that delusion.

@@lostinthesauce8855why are u so confident in someone who hasn’t played a snap of college football? So many michigan fans don’t know anything ab this sport

[@petekaimaku5609]

EXACTLY. The role should not be given to Bryce, he has to earn it. So many michigan fans are extreme casuals who have lost their sense of logic after being spoiled for a few years

[@lostinthesauce8855]

@petekaimaku5609 I could ask you the same thing why are you so confident in the fact that Bryce underwood won’t be good out the gate? It’s called having trust. I’ve watched his game film to know he has a high ceiling if Michigan uses him right. He also has Tom Brady by his side to teach him to read defenses. It’s called having faith in the coaches which you obviously do not

[@adamprice9209]

5'11, can't move, can't throw the deep ball. We haven't upgraded our offensive line, and we sign an immobile QB. We signed a 6'5 WR who is good with jump balls, but signed a QB who can't throw the deep ball.

Dude, it's not only about the money, M wanted a QB with 1-2 years left, meaning their final spot before going pro, they don't want to compete with a stud freshman, they want to be the starter and they're looking for guarantees M just can't give.

[@whatever6992]

We're clearly broke now. Going after Bryce was a huge gamble and we don't know if it'll work out for Sherrone yet. WRs CLEARLY don't care that he's here 😂

[@whatever6992]

What if we had gotten John Mateer with 2 years of eligibility, a couple of great WRs, an excellent RB, and 2 OTs? I think we would be playoff bound the next 2 years but we're missing the playoff again next season bc of the choices that have been made.

[@twogruden9943]

@@whatever6992 How do you figure? If Warren was as good as Keene, M would've been 10-2 and made the playoffs this year. People don't seem to realize there was a lot of interest by other QBs in M including Miller Moss... until M signed Underwood. These QBs are planning their last stop to get ready for the NFL, they want a guaranteed starting spot, they don't want to be looking over their shoulder to someone who may taking over starting duties mid-season. No way M was getting a QB with 2 years left, which left limited options and there are few 5-star QBs floating around. M will actually have a decent QB room next season, which they didn't have in '24.

[@natlovell122]

You’re trying to turn him into something he isn’t. Hes more like 5’10” 190. He’s small. Don’t expect him to compete In the Big 10 when he can’t compete in the Mountain West. His success is due to having some amazing wide outs.

[@bmonty1915]

Just be honest with the fans please, this portal class is not living up to the expectations at all. If UM does not want to spend money, and they CLEARLY don't, then just say so. The media has to stop pretending that UM is "all in" when they clearly aren't. This signing is marginal at best just like the rest of the portal class.

[@woodshed_moments]

Isaiah, because you like them doesn't make him a fit.... so slobbering and slathering everybody up with a bunch of caveats in advance knowing his bona fides aren't particularly qualified... doesn't make your case. What makes any case for the kid is staying objective? How do you stay objective? By looking at how much of a fit he is out of the box. Organically - is he: 1. Most important he's not a dual threat - and from what we can see, not particularly mobile either, but he can scramble being able to scramble and not at least mobile - that's an issue - no fit 2. Have an arm? practically irrelevant to the RPO scheme, it's run dominant, pass optional - so that's neutral 3. Is he familiar with the coaches system - yes... So out of the short list, there's only one thing that makes him plausible in the least is the fact that he knows chip Lindsey's system. I understand the mechanics behind it. I played the game, but it shouldn't be the only metric to guide weather - the guy is gonna be a benefit or not. They shouldn't be trying to stray away from the reservation of the system. They built just because of AO. C. They hire that used to be AQB coach, which is the exact opposite of what we just got rid of... a position coach that was errantly promoted OC You're gonna have the same situation, but in reverse, that's probably not wisdom right there... But he is familiar with the system, which is a wash, because everybody's gotta learn it anyway. So, in the end, probably not the right way to go.

[@nicholastaiariol2631]

[@jinorimo6090]

Great fit for UM. They get a winner, super accurate thrower and he’s familiar with the offense. He’s also good enough to win 9 in this schedule and not good enough to beat out Underwood. Ideal.

[@woodshed_moments]

@jinorimo6090 You do of course, remember the type system Michigan is running, correct and the scheme. They're operating out of it? Would render half of your acknowledge prerequisites? Entirely moot to begin with. Fact of the matter is he's a marginal fit at best fat. He knows chip Lindsey system is irrelevant since every. One else would have to learn it anyway. You might as well get a quarterback. That fits the system and then and have backups
