It makes zero sense in this era of CFB to pay a true freshman/sophomore QB millions of dollars. Use that money for a vet junior or senior who is ready and you know 100% is good
I think it’s because of Bryce. What vet QB wants to come to Michigan knowing the sunken cost the program has in Bryce. It’s hard to get a fair competition when your rival is making so much money and can’t be benched (unless you’re making more than him ofc)
Helps that Oregon runs a qb friendly offense, Michigan is notoriously run first and not a lot of qbs wanna play in that style of offense. If a qb has a choice to go to a school and throw 25-30 passes or go to a school and throw less than 20 they’d probably chose the 25-30 school.
His biggest thing was he was young and athletic, and then when he had to throw he wasn’t bad. Teams probably thought they could build off that and he’d take a leap once he got coached up in the NFL
