But the word is we will be hearing soon about a grad transfer QB.

Did you watch any Michigan games when Speight was the QB at Michigan? I remember watching on TV in 2016 Michigan v. Wisconsin and Michigan v. Michigan State. Michigan won both of those games as I recall. I remember thinking then that Speight was a fringe NFL prospect with his arm and some nice throws.

I think you have to download every single version of both adobe and java (twice) in order to do it...LaradiseCowboy wrote: ↑Wed Apr 11, 2018 1:37 pmjoshvanklomp wrote: ↑Tue Apr 10, 2018 6:31 pmA gif is an image file.

Yep, that didn’t work lol. I pasted a link to a GIF between the image tags to no success. Oh well.

I saw bits and pieces of the Florida and Air Force games last fall. He's enormous...but struggled with decision making and accuracy. I doubt he's worse than Smith, though. If social media is any indicator, Michigan fans really don't like him. That said, Bohl is the QB whisperer. If anyone can turn WS's career around, it's him.OrediggerPoke wrote: ↑Wed Apr 11, 2018 12:23 pm Did you watch any Michigan games when Speight was the QB at Michigan?

Speight was 3rd Team all Big-Ten during the 2016 season...let's be honest, based purely on talent as a QB, Nick Smith wouldn't even make third string quarterback for the majority of MWC schools. And I like Nick Smith as a competitor and contributor to the team.
Frankly, Speight would be a game changer for next year when we return one of the best defenses in the country. We don't need a Josh Allen or a Baker Mayfield...but we do need at least an average QB.
Speight isn't that great, he certainly won't be in the same ballpark as Josh Allen was. But I would imagine he would be an upgrade (even slightly) over the QBs currently on roster.Sgoharley wrote: ↑Wed Apr 11, 2018 2:07 pm I dont know if we are getting a transfer from any school at any position but it seems to make no sense at all to be trashing any potential transfer on this public forum unless you dont want them to come. I have to assume if the coaches are offering a spot to a transfer they are doing it for a reason and all of us arm chair quarterbacks should not undermine the coaches. Everyone agrees we need depth and experience at QB, but why would one come here if he is being told he isnt any good before a decision is even made. Please keep it to yourself at least until the season starts.
So, he can make good throws to wide open receivers while his OLine provides ample protection? Hot damn! Hahaha imagine what Josh would do with that line and those receivers. He'll, Smith would have great highlight film with that protection.J-Bone wrote:For those interested, here's a 2016 Speight highlight reel:
