Looks like those clowns at the Free Press have done it again. What a bunch of clowns.

I agree with the Forcier crowd at this point. Also, I think that if we ever see Sheridan on the field again to do anything but mop up at the end of a blowout, the season is in trouble.

Also, I think Robinson will probably get a series or two each game as a wildcat and get plays slowly added to his repitoire throughout the season. He could end up being a better QB eventually, but I just don’t see him beating Forcier for the job this season unless Forcier is injured.

Denard Robinson MAY change people’s opinions, but it’s not likely. The only real skill Robinson seems to have over Forcier is straight-line speed, which may not mean a whole lot. They both have strong arms, mechanically Tate is better, Tate knows the offense better, he’s more accurate, etc. I, too, am glad that we’ll have two talented players behind center . . . but Tate is clearly ahead of Robinson at this point. People who think otherwise just assume that Robinson will be the second coming of Pat White, which isn’t likely or necessary.

Not a good selection of words for the article title, but newspapers have used this tactic for decades.

What I find interesting is that so many UM fans appear to be convinced that Forcier is now the apparent ‘09 starter because of the spring game performance. And he may be. All I’m saying is that I’m pretty sure that Denard Robinson may change people’s minds a little bit during fall practice and prior to kickoff vs. Western Michigan. Finally there will be some meaningful competition at QB at Michigan this year and in the future. This is a very good thing.

Well-said, Tim. Rich Rodriguez will start whoever should be starting based on a vast amount of information that we don’t have. I just hope the right guy to start is actually Forcier because it will be excruciating to listen to the “injuries are FANTASTIC because they increase reps for the starters!” crowd whine all season.

I know that Sheridan’s apparently a nice guy and all that, but…there is no need to see anymore of him on the field.

Please. If performances are equal among the three (a big “if” IMO), then I vehemently prefer watching a freshman go through growing pains rather than see Sheridan deny said freshman those valuable reps.

All things being equal, let’s invest in the future kthxbai.
