U of M thread (in the Lions Forum) :)

That's a great idea. If there is anything Michigan needs it's instability at QB. It's worked pretty well so far.

[WingsFan]

He can't do any worse than the other guys and he is a lot faster.

[Mainevent]

He's gotten a couple of good runs (in fact, he's been a very bright spot in the crappy O). BUT he's fumbled already once in 6 carries. He's got fumbilitis, and that makes him ineffective.

He dropped it once. Let's allow him to at least get some more touches before labeling him with an -itis. But RR does seem to want to make McG the main guy.

(Though I just read that Minor was nursing a sprained wrist or something, so that's probably part of the reason he was limited last game).

I don't know, I hope he can figure it out but, he's no mike hart or barry sanders with the football.

According to this website (http://www.opensports.com/football/n.../profile/14822 which I've never heard of but appears to be the only website I found that tracks fumbles) he's fumbled 4 times in 142 touches. That's a lotta fumbling.

[Rocky Bleier]

2.8 percent. Is that a lot?

[SeattleLionsFan]

It's a fumble every 35 touches. Tatum Bell fumbled once every 52.5 touches. Barry had a fumble almost every 75 touches.

[Timmy]

Pretty low sample size compared to Bell and Barry. Doesn't bode well when you put the rock on the carpet early though.

That does sound bad when you make that comparison. Unfortunately, I don't think he'll get enough carries to determine whether it's a trend.

I saw a puff piece on Minor this week, so maybe they are planning on him playing more tomorrow.

If there is a more disappointing back than Kevin Grady I don't know who it is.

[Rocky Bleier]

Maybe Ricky Powers. He was supposed to be the best back in the country. Grady has shown absolutely nothing.

[Mainevent]

Ricky Powers actually had a good first couple of years.

Oh, and I can't hear/see the name Ricky Powers without thinking of the Johnnie Johnson game and getting pissed off. Thanks Rocky.

Grady has been a major bust. He had so much hype coming out of HS you would've thought the Heisman was going to have its named changed for him.
I think he started looking to the NFL early but apparently he doesn't understand that you don't get to the NFL when you can't even make 3rd string in college.

[SeattleLionsFan]

as I understand it umich has gotten a commit from a 5star DE from NJ.

[chemiclord]

And now we know why Brandon Minor doesn't play more.

He cannot hold onto a ball to save his mother's life.

RichRod's love affair with Sam McGuffie is tiresome...
