tate is a good qb..esp bein only a freshman..but to say end up being one of the best is a very bold statement...hes good but i do think he wont be ending up as the starter come the next few years..he has to have a good season to me to be looked at as someone who will lead us again and again.. tate needs to mature more in the pocket. last year you could tell when he looked uncomfortable and made huge mistakes but he will be a very good qb when his career is over in michigan go blue
r u serious lol Tate had some good games against garbage teams i watched um all and i seen tons were he was pulled because he sucked ass. U must be an idiot if u want tate to start plus he can't run for shit that's why they put the other QB in for the sneak plays and everyone caught an knew soon as the dude with the untied laces came on it was a sneak play like say against Notre Dame even the announcers knew lol
bouwadi3 Get off the pipe buddy. The Big ten showed how great they are in the bowl games. And Gardner needs to RS his first year. Tate will be the leader for the next two years and then we will see how great Gardner is. I am happy to have three great QBs here at UofM. Gardner will be a top qb by the time he is done at UofM.
@cdixon330 Pipe? Where did Michigan come in last year in the Big 10? Denial is Maze & Blue I guess... A talent like Gardner should not be coached by Richrod. UM did nothing to help the problems they had last year or the year before...Richrod wanted his way or the highway...so wolverine faithful, how do you like Rich's way? Go smoke that in your pipe.
i hope he does start his freshman year. hes WAY beter than tate. if michigan is going to turn it around then we cant wait to start winning our games we gotta start NOW, cuz if we dont then playmakers like DG wont keep coming to play for us.
so ur saying america (the most powerful nation and most adanced nation ever with the longest lasting goverment is going to fall), should i remind u michigan has the best win percentage (making them the best team all time) and y would they fall down they were number 2 in the nation a couple years ago
They should play him at wideout when Tate starts. I am so siked that Michigan is going to have all this talent and ability to be used in such a wide variety of ways....Roundtree,Odums,Gallon,Robinson,Forcier,Gardner,Miller,Stonum,Hemingway,Tousaint,Smith,Cox,Shaw. Anyone who is not very happily exited about the Great condition of Michigan Wollverines football is nothing short of an Idiot
tate sucks. what are u guys thinking? hes only 5'10, and his arms are twigs. look at D gardner. hes 6'5 and is HUGE. ur crazy if u all think tate should start over "vince young jr."
You my friend are a moron, Vince Young was one of the best college football quarterbacks of all time...his talent in the NFL does not reflect a damn thing of what he did in college, you douche
Good one faggot, I'm not the one proclaiming Devin Gardner as being as good as one of the best college football quarterbacks of all time. Way to gain respect for michigan's fans
Oh, ok, so you're saying that Devin Gardner is better than an NFL starter...man you must know a lot more than their gm...you should probably run the Tennessee Titans
hes still ver ver very raw man he needs some time to develope forciers not blessed with the raw talent as devin is but forcier is a smart kids growing up around smart coaches not saying coach carter is not smart but its inkster man not much of a power house
come on. Tate doesn't suck. I know he didn't play well in the OSU game, but he did his job for the rest of the season, with 4th Qtr. combacks, and the gutsy performance against MSU. The Defense let up too many points for us to win.
You're right man, don't listen to that dumbass...If he honestly thinks they will star DG hes an idiot...you can't start a freshman quarterback 3 years in a row and expect to keep your job. Tate is a gamer, he just needs to get bigger to absorb blows and he will be golden
the smartest thing to do would be to redshirt him. I think that Tate will end up starting for the rest of his career, and then Denard would start the 2 years after. But I think RR needs to move Robinson to WR. Hes soooo fast, and we could also use his speed on returns.
I agree with the redshirting devon, and Denard probably will get more time at other psotions now that there are better back ups than sheridan and cone. Give robinson a chance, it was the first year for these guys in a totally new defensive system and outside of the D-line, Warren, Woolfolk, Brown, and maybe occasionally mouton. He had to work with garbage. With more talent this year, and more time in the scheme they will be much improved on both defense and offense.
You're an idiot, they don't need a new D-coordinator whatsoever, they need players...when you only have 25 scholarship players on defense when the average is 38+ its never the coordinators fault...Note to briskin18: Take note to whats going on in the program
I don't know. Maybe you're right, but there were so many times that the opponent's WRs were so open, it couldn't have been the players fault. He just needs to work with the CBs and put them closer on the WRs, not 8 yards away!
This was going on because the lack of players man, Warren always had to play that far off the ball because he always had to play deep half. He was always playing deep half because the safeties weren't reliable...but I once thought the same thing, so I don't blame you....with the recruiting class they just got, the d will only get better.
we could line him up @wideout one play,qb the next.also have denard as a slot,rb,maybe qb if he can learn not to turn it over.also having big tex beachum as a dual threat power back/qb onshort-yardage/redzone plays.and of course forcier picking apart secondarys.gardner probably will not take over next year,i cringe at the thought of having another true freshman start for us. he will see time if/when tate struggles.he'll might take over in '11.GOOO BLLLUUUE!!!!!
tate has a good year under his belt and hopefully he will continue to grow... that will also give gardner a good 2 years of start time and he'll most likely see some time his second and 3rd year if we red shirt him so when he does become the starter he'll be a bad ass!
god he is an athlete.. but based upon tate forciers performance since the big ten season has started, there is strong possibility he canstep in and start right away. I would actually prefer that this happens lol
I think Tate is a good QB and will get better each year, but I agree, we need to see Gardner on the field at QB. He is too talented not to get a shot right away. I am excited to have a Michigan guy get a chance to lead Michigan's football team. May the best QB win.
try him at receiver. get a fast deap threat guy. he had 46 tds his senior year so its not like he doesnt know how to find the endzone either. and hes got soft hands.
Doesnt matter if he gets a 5th star, I mean sure he deserves it, but he's already locked for Michigan, all the 5th star would mean is other teams swarming him even harder. This video just disproves everyone who says he can't throw, he's the type of guy that if you doubt him he's going to throw for 300 yards the next game and in his mind be like yea suck on that
i just realized with devin gardner tate and shoelace on tha team and terrell pryor on osu it seems that mich and osu made trade the deal would been rights of pryor to osu and mich would get 2 4 stars qb and a 5 star qb to be named later meaning the best trade steal ever
You see wut he did to Dior Mathis at 1:35? Michigan is backin off of mathis after his poor performances at camp. They concentrating on Christian, Grimes, Knight, Ifill, and Furman.
Either way with Gardner, Forcier, and Robinson this Michigan offense seems poised to be an explosive one. I think Forcier will be decent this season, really good next season, and just a beast come his Junior year. Chances are Gardner redshirts and learns the schematics. With him catching, who knows tho!
yeha another reason is because mathis is in love with oregon we need to grab mathis too if we can its always good to grab th most corners u can but unless he is joking around like will cambell did we lost him
We need Mathis are defense needs help. Dont have many good corners(besides Warren=beast). If Donavon Warren goes to the NFL we won't have much left in our secondary.
i dont see mathis going to michigan man so we need to go after christian and grimes michigans showed not much interest in dior cuz alot of inside people have said there a long shot i hope there wrong and we get him tho we need all the help we can get
Just a quick question, is there a chance that either Tate or Denard exceed expectations totally performance based and Devin Gardner realistically moves to outside reciever for good??? This kid could be an ALL BIG TEN selection at WR and the next UM reciever to sport the #1 Jersey..jst a thought..
another crazy scenario would be denard robinson passing to devin gardner and vice versa.head coaches and defensive coordinators will lose sleep and get a lot of gray hair and may even lose their jobs tryin to figure out how to stop Michigans offense.and i believe greg robinson will bring the defense back to championship level too.GOOO BLUE!!!
WOW i heard he was lining up as a wideout but didn't he'd be that good.i think it will be interesting to see jeremy gallon throw a td pass to devin gardner.with all the athleticism and speed Michigan is recruiting,it will be very entertaining to watch and i believe will translate into a lot of wins.not to mention i think the offense can hold up to the likes of the(gasp) the invincible sec.call me crazy now but in a few years you'll remember that i was right.wait and see.GOOO BLLLUUUE!!!
as i think tate will the rings probadly 2 years then devin garner will take the rest i think michigan make qbs but its going to be dual threat qb u pendin if these old timers scouts dont downgrade it
Wow, it amazes me how athletic one man can be. He dominates at QB, and if that don't workout for him in college, we know he can certainly play WR. I still can't get over that one-handed catch!
Michigan will be way better this year. I am guessing 8 to 9 wins.
