If you look st most of the QBs we recruit and get your see some pretty heavy weight schools that offered also. So I gave to think it's coaching and the system itself that is to blame for crummy QB play.
Cade Sux
- Thread starter ClarindaA's
- Start date
Cade is awful due to an injury that Michigan knew he wasn't likely going to recover from.
3rd year in a row of having the worst QB in the Big

Sullivan should have gotten the nod in the second half. It was clear that Cade was going to do nothing but lose that game.

I wonder if Ferentz came into this season thinking..."so you think last tears offense was bad wait til this year"?
I thought our offense actually looked good, except for Cade. Receivers were fine. Oline played pretty well, except for the redzone. Tight ends are great but were non existent. Running backs, well KJ, was balling. Cade was just not good. And that’s not on Lester. That’s on Brian and Kirk.
Don’t put our defense in the same category as our offense. Our defense is good, they had a bad day.
He’s physically unable to perform
Cade’s Strengths - Nothing
Cade’s Weaknesses
Weak to average arm strength
Poor accuracy
No ability to stretch plays with his legs (So many explosive big plays come off of scrambles)
No rushing threat at all! (Much needed in this offense lacking much talent)
Poor decision making and missing wide open receivers (Example the interception and missing Gill wide open in the corner of the end zone.)

Not the system. Inaccuracy isn’t the system but yeah, coaching them is part of it.
Lol great typo because last years offense gave me tears laughing how sucky it was
Leaster inserted his head into his own ass, twice, inside the 5.
8-4 will get a bowl game. Kirk will get a bonus and athletic dept will get a nice free vacation. F the fans.
X has always struck me as a good not great player. Especially for his so called "star" ranking. Seems to be slow to react to everything and gets beat more than a 5/4 hell even 3 star player in Iowa's secondary should.
This was where the game was lost. Lester had me believing last week. He lost me...and many others...today. If you had to pick one thing that lost the game, it was his play calling in the red zone.
If we do that then Sullivan transfers for nothing. It is now or never for him or he is gone too.
Any coach with balls would play both QBs next week
-overmatched opponent
-starter who needs to be challenged
-backup who deserves a chance to show what he's got
And I've whined about this a million times on this board. Someone convince me that this was not done to give Cade confidence on what I'm sure they thought were layups. Is Cade that mentally soft? It cost us the game.
The whole "undermine a guy's confidence" angle is such bullshit. If your QB's confidence is that fragile....he doesn't have the stuff to be your starting QB. He's a pussy that will fold under pressure.
Giving the backup some reps should focus your starter even more. You don't think I can do it? Ok, I'll show you how good I am. Good leaders rise to a challenge. They don't melt away from it. I've been challenged a few times in my career...I didn't whine about it. I took it as a wake up call to bring my best game.
What happened to the qb sneak? 5 years ago it was a guaranteed 4 yards. Now it doesn't even exist in the playbook. If QB1 is so fragile you can't attempt it then maybe you need to look elsewhere.
That's what I'm saying! I think they were trying to get him a TD so bad it cost us. Does he need it that bad? If so, he's toast mentally. On top of that, he's not good physically.
It will be total and complete malfeasance on KF's part if Sullivan doesn't get some drives next week.
I have no doubt he's a good kid. Everything we've seen and heard says so. But a coach's job is to win. Nice guy only goes so far. Maybe it goes too far in the KFz model.
The same Labas that threw 5 INT against a G5 opponent today?
KF wouldn’t know a B1G QB if he came up to him and smacked that notebook out of his hand.
I think Lainez has a decent arm from the footage I seen of him in high school. He just needs time as a starter to get comfortable. He has the scrambling and running thing down, which really gives a defense a lot more to think about. We’ve been waiting for an athlete like him at QB for many years. If this cast off from mighty northwestern passes him, he may leave this shit show.
Someone twitter put it best, and I'll paraphrase: Cade looked good because the pieces around him at Michigan lifted him up, along with a better OC and resources. He's an average to below average QB at best.
I'm just counting down the days to James Resar.

I don't think you will ever seen Lainez again.
Yep, I literally laughed out loud when he ran for a first down last week and looked like a 45 year old man stomping the ground doing it. Then laughed again when he told the postgame reporter that he felt as healthy as ever. He has scar tissue on both knees and is a shell of his former self.
I'd really like someone on the staff, current or former, to give an honest answer if it was KF that mandates conservative playcalling or if it was Lester. Hint - it hasn't changed through 4 OC's, get a lead, play not to lose, and KF is the common thread.
