      If I were Urbie, I'd start dreaming about a defense.

      Yeah... that didn't work.

      Michigan is 10th in total defense. and Ohio was too far down the list to rank. Good try though? shrug

      So why offer in the first place? Sketchy recruiting if you have to start pulling schollies IMO.

      I guess for the same reason a player commits, then continues to visit other schools.

      Well, you're not Urbie. So go back to dreaming about what it'd be like to have a real QB instead of a punt return specialist who chucks 50/50 balls in the air.

      What does this have to do with Braxton Miller?

      Yeah, not so much. I've never heard of anyone talk about the arm strength and potential (as a passer) of Denard like they do Braxton. Oh, and Robinson's a senior whose had four years to improve. Dude is Juice Williams--he gets worse every year. I don't think you have to worry about Braxton being on that trajectory.

    • No one on the national scene respects Denard anymore.

      He's good against bad teams. That's about it.

      Denard Robinson's passing stats in 2010 (his first and only year in RR's spread) were better than Braxton Miller's this year. His passing efficiency has fallen off because RR is gone and he is now operating in an offense that requires him to take snaps under center and throw out of the pocket. Denard's not a pocket passer and never will be, but neither is Braxton. Braxton is just one of dozens of athletes who can easily put up videogame numbers when dropped into a wide open spread offense (see Geno Smith, Johnny Manziel, Marcus Mariota, Denard Robinson, Nick Florence, Taylor Martinez, Pat White, Chandler Harnish, James Franklin, etc).

      Passing
      Denard Robinson (2010) 13 gms, 2,570 tot yds, 198 ypg, 8.83 ypa, 14.12 ypc, 62.5% comp, 18 TD, 11 Int
      Braxton Miller (2012) 7 gms, 1,271 tot yds, 182 ypg, 7.99 ypa, 13.24 ypc, 60.4% comp, 11 TD, 4 Int
      Taylor Martinez (2012) 6 gms, 1,273 tot yds, 212 ypg, 8.72 ypa, 13.12 ypc, 66.44%, 12 TD, 4 Int

      Rushing
      Denard Robinson (2010) 13 gms, 1,702 tot yds, 130.92 ypg, 6.65 ypc, 14 TD
      Braxton Miller (2012) 7 gms, 912 tot yds, 130.29 ypg, 7.07 ypc, 9 TD
      Taylor Martinez (2012) 6 gms, 348 tot yds, 58.00 ypg, 5.00 ypc, 5 TD

      We lost those games despite Denard not because of him. Our defense was ranked 110th in the country in 2010. It was "worst in Michigan history" awful. Your defense is bad this year, but it's not in the same zipcode as ours was in 2010. But you go ahead and keep thinking Braxton with his barely over 60% completion percentage is the next Peyton Manning. Everyone else in the country knows better. Hell, he's not even as good of a passer as Taylor Martinez (see stats above).

    • Having a horrible defense can lead to your offense being on the field basically the entire game. Go back and look at how many times denard ran the ball. If you watch the games, he literally ran the ball on just about every play, and then when the defense would defend it, he would throw a deep ball. BUT as soon as he played a team that was good enough to not let him run wherever he wanted, he was SOL because he is a terrible passer, (braxton is a much better passer despite the way you try to misinterpret stats).

      Point is that was not an effective strategy at all because it doesn't work against good teams. He wasnt durable enough to take that kind of punishment every game either. he came out of a ton of games and thats why you lost alot too, it wasnt just because you had no defense. On the other hand, braxton can run the ball against any defense because he run in a much different style. Hes tougher and can plant his foot in the ground to avoid any defender in front of him as we'll as avoid the big hit. He has way better throwing mechanics, arm strength and decision making ability.

      Braxton struggles against good defenses too. UF basically shut him down in the Gator bowl last year. And MSU did it this year. You scored 17 points against MSU, which is the same as Iowa and less than ND and IU. You are living in la la land if you think Braxton is any better than most of the other spread QBs out there. Last night, I watched Marcus Mariota carve up ASU like he was playing against a HS team. But if Oregon meets Alabama in the BCSCG, Bama will shut him down. And look what TTU did to Geno Smith in Lubbock last week. It happens to every spread QB every year as soon as they run into a team with a real D. BM is no different.

      When BM grows to at least 6'3" and 240 lbs, let me know. Until that happens, it's laughable to equate him to Tim Tebow, Cam Newton or Vince Young.

      Yeah.

      He's only 6'3" 230 right now.

      That's odd, because OSU's own website has him at 6'2" 220. And we all know QBs "shrink" from how they are listed in college to when they are measured at the combine. He's nowhere close to the size of the guys I listed.

      His wiki page has him at 6'3 230.

      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braxton_Miller

      Regardless, the point is he is plenty big enough.
