Who do you think will be the starting QB next season..
- Thread starter smooth as butter
- Start date
To start the season, likely O'Maize or Morris who ever best competes for the job. But, wouldn't be shocked to see Peters win it before the end of the season.
Regardless, feeling good that the QB position will be a position of strength for us.

Assuming you mean O'Korn...I think O'Korn is good but apparently rumors are that Gentry has been progressing really well - way better then folks anticipated. Either way, I think you can safely assume that whomever it is has had a full year within the Harbaugh system which is great.
They call it korn, we call it maize!
We have lots of talent, potential, and competition at the position. We also have the best QB coaching on the planet. Can't wait to see the results on the field this season!

I think it's tremendous news if Gentry is making such great progress. This increased level of competition only helps produce the best possible QB as a starter. Another example of a complete turnaround in philosophy from Clappy's "I'm your friend" way of doing things.
O'Korn will be the QB for the next two years while Peters trains behind him. Don't start that "Sugar Shane," stuff on here again. He will not even be the backup.
I think O'Korn, Gentry, and Speight compete for the starting spot. Barring injury, I don't see any reason why O'Korn won't start the opener, however some of our other QB's will likely push him throughout the year.
Peters is almost assuredly going to redshirt.

Peters will get a chance to win the job, in my opinion. I mean, why not?
He probably will redshirt, but I can't imagine auto-redshirting a guy who is physically ready to play in college.

He's not ready. He's going to need a year to develop, and has said in a few interviews that Harbaugh told him he's going to redshirt.

The real questions should be who will be our starting ILB's. The offense is ready to go. O'Korn has been in the system a year already guys. The coaches love him!!!!!! He will be better than Ruddock.

I'm not ruling out "Sugar Shane", and I don't think anyone else should at this point. He could have transferred, but he's making a statement ... the kid is a competitor. The Jack Hammer likes him some competitors. While O'Maize may seem like the "logical" heir apparent, the job is going to have to be won, and the coaches ... not the message boarders ... will make the decisions. It's a long way to the first game, lots can happen.
This is going to be a very interesting spring training, I'm anxious to see what develops. Regardless, I'm not worried at all about the QB position.

OMG St Joe!!! Come on dude!!! Sugar Shane stuff again on here until the opener against Hawaii? Do you remember what Harbaugh said when asked about the competition between Morris and Rudock last year? Harbaugh said it was not even close!!!! and that was the raw (benched at Iowa) Rudock. Have you read anything about O'Korn? Unless he blows out his ACL or breaks a bone, he is going to be the starter. Even the media right now is stating this. He led the practice squad last year and the coaches loved him. Morris is a competitor but there is no way in Hades that he will lead UM on the field next year. O'Korn will start-Speight the backup as he EARNED it by beating Minnesota and Morris/Malzone the 3rd string guys since Gentry is now a TE. Peters will red shirt and the real battle will be two years from now between Peters and McCaffrey.
I wouldn't throw in the towel on Morris yet. Remember, Harbaugh said he was redshirting last year prior to the Minnesota game which was fairly late in the season. He has an NFL arm -- let's see if Harbaugh can coax the same out of his decision making.
My man, that was yesterday ... and yesterday is gone.
I love The Jack Hammer's way, the best man will win the job. The competition is already under way, and will be well into August.
Just as it should be.

I'll put my money on O'Korn. Upperclassmen and has some prior experience but I can't tell you how that translates in Big Ten competition. I think Morris will be better but don't see him better O'Korn out but deserves the chance as does Speight. Doesn't surprise me that they moved Gentry and haven't gone out to get another qb which is the key variable that they feel comfortable with someone(s).
I do think people are going to pine after a game during the season for Rudock who was nothing short than a blessing for UM. I think the key for this coming season is to get UM to be even more effective running the ball (add some big play ability) until UM proves it has an effective qb.
An effective college qb is not an easy to obtain. How about this question right now. If I gave you the opportunity right now to trade Butt for Rudock...would you do it?
I would.

No way would I make that trade! I feel pretty confident the QB position will be an upgrade for the coming season, likely much more of a weapon.
We'll see!
Gentry to TE, says Harbaugh.
O'Korn is the hands-down favorite.
Whoever it is, they'll have to earn it, every day.
Go Blue. Always.
Rudock was quite the qb last 4-6 games. I would take that in a heartbeat vs. an unknown. Don't be so sure O'korn is an overall upgrade.

O'Korn is certainly the odds on favorite followed by Speight and Morris. Supposedly O'Korn has looked quite impressive in practice. Harbaugh has already said Peters will redshirt which is a very good thing for us and for him. Peters has the chance to be a very good QB but I much prefer not having to play a true freshman, particularly when there are more experienced options.
Whoever comes out of the cage, intact, and dragging the bloodied stumps of what is left of his QB rivals...
UGH!!!!!! Her we go again. It's last spring all over again. Sugar Shane, Sugar Shane, Sugar Shane and all because he played in Michigan at De La Salle. Ok. I will play along AGAIN like I did with Rudock and who was right about that one??????
O'Korn but do not rule out the QB whisperer getting Shane up to speed. Shane is going into his 2nd spring camp under Harbaugh. I expect him to be A LOT better than he was last spring. I just don't know if it will be enough to overcome O'Korn who has far more in game experience.
How quickly we forget how Rudock looked to start the season.

O'Korn will start this year. Sugar Shane will never start a game @ UM. Period. I'd like to see Peters in the mix this year & not redshirt (although I know it's been widely assumed he will redshirt) & then see McCaffrey come in next year & redshirt. Two year gap between Peters & McCaffrey & then we're rolling with Harbaugh QB's.
