With him signing with Michigan now that he's been granted his waiver all but a formality, I wanted to sincerely thank the Iowa program and ask you fans for your opinion on his play. It appears that our one glaring weakness from all practice reports has been quarterback. I've heard that he's little more than a game manager, but at this point that's all we need. I'm interested to see what Harbaugh can do with him
i will ask you a question back..
Do Wolvy fans really think JR can be your starter in the fall. I know there are 2 other QBs coming in for the fall, including a transfer from Rice. Will UM really carry 6 or 7 QBs on scholarship? JR is a good QB but has serious limitations throwing the ball downfield. While that may have had something to do with the Iowa system, JR will be coming into a new system altogether. It would seem that it will take a few games at minimum for JR to get a feel for the new digs and his new teammates.
maybe Harbaugh feels everyone will be learning a new system so why not let Jake step in even if he only gets to work with him for one year.
Bottom line - u guys must really suck at QB to be going thru this particular set of hoops to get JR after spring ball has already happened and a ton of other QB options.
