Michigan has the most starting QBs in NCAA football!

haha, wow. I never would've guessed I'd hear about Steven Threet again.

Not sure why you LOL. No one from Michigan is surprised. Just goes to show that you really don't know everything.

So Michigan has three QB's but no started right now, while two former QB's are now starting for other BCS teams. Great job RichRod.

Who is the other one?

Funny to hear this, a distant friend of mine just married Steven Threet's brother.

Ryan Mallett.

I think this is what the LOL is for webfire.

They didnt fit into the system that was coming into Michigan....whys it so surprising that they left and were successful?

Its not surprising they left. Its comical that they left and have enjoyed more success than Michigan.

And it's likely that if Forcier isn't the starter this year that he'll transfer and end up being a successful starter somewhere else too.

It's not surprising that guys who didn't fit into Rich Rod's system left, what's surprising is that any coach could be a system coach. I still don't understand why he came into Michigan and has tried taking guys who aren't remotely suited for his system and forcing them to run it instead of modifying his system for a few years to fit his players, and gradually introduce his system as he get's the type of players he needs to run it. It seems completely asinine to me for a coach to make an entire team adjust to his system when they clearly aren't suited for it. Also, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. You would think that once RichRod realized his system wasn't working that he would have tried somethings different. Instead, he has continued to do the same thing expecting a different result (I'm not necessarily talking about this year, but the last two). Besides, I would think that any top level coach would be able to adapt and adjust the way they do things to suit their personnel, instead of trying to force a square peg into a round hole. System coaches recruit system players and run a system offense. great coaches recruit the best players available and adapt their offense to suit their strengths.

Wow. This thread is comical.

Not hard to believe at all. I think it is more of a statement/indictment of ASU and Erickson.

Not exactly on the topic, but did I hear on the Arizona game that their starting quarterback transferred from Michigan State? Just found it odd that the two big Michigan schools had QBs go to the two big Arizona schools.

Transferred from Michigan State.

Transfer's from one BCS team to another
Masoli-Oregon to Ole Miss
Mallett-Michigan to Arkansas
Threet-Michigan to Arizona State.
Cam Newton-Florida to Auburn(via CC)
Chris Harper-Oregon to Kansas State
Robert Marve-Miami to Purdue

One other

ASU has top of the line eye candy.

Well that system looked pretty damn good Saturday, and it looked really good down in WVU.

It's pretty hard to say that Ryan Mallett, Tate Foricer, and Steven Threet are anything like Robinson or Gardner, and that's why those 3 will/are starting elsewhere, and the latter 2 are getting PT for RR.

Not every coach can adapt to it's quarterback. While I'm in agreement that systems are getting more and more "fad"y, you can't argue that with the right people in place, RR is a good coach. Elite? Probably not, but certainly good.

speaking of former UM players......

Bad part is, when he stopped, he had a 3-5 yard gain ahead of him. Never was a big fan, even when they were recruiting him.
