re: Love When Peolpe Say If Mett Was Better He Would Have Beat Out JJ/JL

Yeah because the guy on the bench is never as good as the starter........ "What" says Tom Brady

Love how people still trot out this myth. First, the other QB spent 5 years in the NFL (something JJ will not do). Then there's the fact that Brady started EVERY game

quote:

Before the opener, Carr made a decision: Brady would start; Henson would play the second quarter; at halftime the coaches would pick which one would finish the game. While this must have irritated Brady, he couldn't complain to his teammates, who had voted him captain. He couldn't complain to his parents, who had let him make his own decisions—including the one to stay at Michigan—and expected him to live with them. He could only compete.

Brady earned the second-half nod in four of the first five games, and Michigan won all five. Asked about the unusual platoon system, he endorsed it: "It's working great for us."

The Wolverines lost their next game, to Illinois, when the defense blew a 20-point second-half lead. But Carr had seen enough. Brady was his quarterback. Brady had vanquished Henson, but the two had also become friends.

Just face the facts that either Mett as good as advertised, or Miles is a terrible QB judge.

I've always thought the latter. Let's all hope that's the case. But it still doesn't make me feel better about <iles' influence on future QB decisions
