Didn’t seem close to ready for the moment. Almost felt like he tapped out - that or Matty P really had him seeing ghosts.

I wouldn’t even say he took that many hits but he was bailing on drop backs early. Refused to use his legs. We’ve seen far guttier performances from QBs up there.

Perfectly fine with Mich hitching their wagon to him - that’s an expensive problem. He hasn’t improved and based on his off season and in-season development, I certainly question his will to compete or get better.

Oh theyre screwed! They have to start based on his NIL deal alone and the amount of jerseys and seasons tickets his popularity he has gotten sold. They're in a same position as Tejas with Arch. The coaches can only pray they transfer in order for them not to start.

Believe it or not, I actually have been keeping an eye on things Up North. You can take the dude out of Threat Level but you can't take Threat Level out of the dude, and I've habitually watched pretty much every Michigan game this season with a special focus on a certain quarterback named Bryce Underwood.

Underwood has enormous potential and an enormous price tag, and in a freshman year in which he was pretty much Michigan's only option, he was fine. He was fine! Often he was worse, and rarely he was better, and that's how it played out on Saturday, too. Hell, that's the whole team: kinda good, sometimes. But also weirdly ass? About halfway through the 3rd quarter, Underwood rifled a pass to receiver Donaven McCulley for 26 yards, a throw that was impeccably timed and required elite arm strength to even attempt. You can imagine a version of Michigan that combines smashmouth football with a guy who can make throws like that and think "damn, okay."

Your%20paragraph%20text%281%29.png


And then rewatching it after the fact, you notice that a) the pass was into triple coverage, b) was followed by a pass for zero yards, a rush for zero yards, and an incompletion, c) was part of a drive capped by an 11-yard punt, and d) less than a minute later Julian Sayin hit a 50-yard bomb to Carnell Tate to put the game on ice. Yeah, Michigan is dealing with some key injuries, especially in the run game. But so much of what they do relies on slamming their heads against a wall and looking for a crack.

Bryce Underwood could, with decent coaching, evolve into a really great quarterback. Michigan could, with decent coaching, maintain a position as one of the top five or six best teams in the United States. I can't see it happening with Sherrone Moore and company, who seem hellbent on crafting a bespoke college football program made from fifty thousand variations of a single bash run play.

The Game will always be weird and have unpredictable outcomes because it exists in a dimension of paint fumes and coked-up opossums with knives taped to their paws. I've learned to accept that.

But I've seen the future of the Michigan Wolverines and it has a ceiling of losing in the first round of the CFP on the road at Tulane.

:lol:

Yeah, there are no excuses for his performance in The Game. He was the #1 overall recruit and enrolled early. I'm not saying he should have performed like Sayin, but there is no reasonable way to excuse his complete lack of development by season's end. Whether he's overrated ass like Arch, it's Moore's backward ass coaching or a combination of both, you just hate to see it.

Take the name off the jersey.

I just saw a major college level QB, at the end of his first full year that still won’t set his feet to throw a forward pass.

Just stop there.

Either zero coaching or zero learning but can’t is the same net effect as won’t.

Forget his ceiling/athleticism/moxy etc. How do you project something positive in the future for a student who can’t handle Subject 101?

Rewatching the game it looks like scum doesn't have a run game so much as they do a holding game that occasionally yields positive yardage.

And his release point jeeps getting lower and lower.

Going to look like Kent Tekulve by next season.

All joking aside, you can’t ask a pitcher or QB to have control if his release point is erratic (from poor foot work/mechanics). It’s impossible.

They can get in a zone and go on a heater but they can’t consistently do it. No one can.

He's Arch without the last name. Epic. Bust. If he, and the people close to him, have a bit of sense, they get as far away from Cryoma as possible.

How guaranteed is the money? Was it $12M per year? Or over 3 years? What if they don't want to pay him for next year? Or is he stuck to this contract? Can he choose to go somewhere else? I can't imagine he'd get more somewhere else...

He's not going to get close to his cheaters deal after his shitshow of a freshman year. I'm not sure a top program would take a chance on him at all now. You hate to see it.
