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

Michigan has tried but for whatever reason can’t get a good qb to transfer in.

Yeah looking at Underwood’s development it’s really mysterious

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)

I think the point is they shouldn’t have sunk that cost.

Ducks have been on this bandwagon for four years now.

Bo Nix
Dillon Gabriel
Dante Moore
Now Dylan Raiola

It’s 100% a better option than paying an unproven 5 star true freshman qb.

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.

That’s what makes it so bizarre to me that JJ was taken so high.

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

Yeah idk if that's a good call either
