Man, when their fans are saying they think George looked "competent" while at Illinois, it's probably time to call the Harbrau experiment a failure. :lol:

To be fair, this is the same fan base who were trying to convince themselves that Justin Feagin was > Terrell Pryor, so this sort of blatant ignorance has been going on since long before el savior.

I don't even understand the point being made? What does USC have to do with Harbaugh?

I think the line of thinking is that Hairball is SO GREAT at developing QBs and has such great pull with the NFL that Jeff George Jr is going there because he thinks he can get to the NFL even as a backup under Harbaugh.

Which is of course completely asinine.

This kid couldn’t legitmately pass as an average player while playing on a state powerhouse. Part time Jr. year, then full-time Sr. year- 50% passer, 2:1 INT. Seriously nothing remarkable about him except his name, which still only earned him a grey-shirt offer to Illinois.

Amazing that UofM has to even entertain this type of player, let alone give a scholarship that has their fans gushing. This is hilarious.

On the same day it comes out that there are scholarship players who haven't made the 110 man roster, they take a shitty grad transfer qb.....sure... nothing to see here... except how Hairball is probably like USC when they had those two non starting QBs who made the NFL (by the way, USC didn't... they're talking about Matt Cassel, who was indeed a back up to both Linart and Palmer. All three did make NFL rosters, but it wasn't two career back ups like the OP implies)

Michigan + Jeff George Jr. is a win for Jim Harbaugh, as long as Jeff George Jr. doesn’t play

RING!

“Coach Harbaugh?”


“Who is this?”

“Jeff George.”

(3-second pause)

“How did you get this number?”

“No, no, no, sir. I’m his son.”

“Oh.”


“I was think …”

“Which one?”

“Jeff, coach. Jeff Junior.”

“Oh.”

“So I was think …”

“How did you get this number?”


It ain’t for the football. Start there. Jeff George Jr. couldn’t hold down the fort at Illinois, where Lovie Smith is still waiting for the cavalry, or an NFL parachute, to arrive.

In 11 appearances over the last two autumns with the Fighting Illini, Michigan’s newest quarterback transfer completed more than half his passes only three times, and more than 60 percent of his passes just once — an 18-for-23 showing at Minnesota last Oct. 21.

Illinois went 1-10 in those contests, although that one victory was notable given the buzz from Wednesday: It was over Michigan State, at home, in November 2016. The son of the former No. 1 pick in the 1990 NFL Draft threw 2 touchdown passes to rally the hosts to a 31-27 win over Sparty, the Illini’s final victory in Lovie’s first season at the helm.

Which means George Jr. has as many wins over Mark Dantonio over the last 24 months as Harbaugh, if that floats your boat. Annnnnnnnd … we’re sorta guessing that it doesn’t.
