He was a solid QB but Funky’s dumb charts overrated and half our fanbase took that at face value….

The general consensus of CFB was much closer to the truth than the Michigan fanbase’s general take. He was a good QB in an elite program. Not the other way around.

Back to the board

The Athletic’s Alec Lewis believes Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy won’t make the 53-man roster. - By plug August 29, 2026 at 03:25:02 PM
- That's insane with QBs like Darnold, Daniel Jones, maybe Mac Jones, Willis, turning into good QBs after shitty beginnings. You can be frustrated with the injuries but they've clearly impacted his development... - By jjwalker August 29, 2026 at 04:14:38 PM
  - He will get scooped up in a hurry, not sure what that will mean for his contract though. * - By plug August 29, 2026 at 04:18:27 PM
    - I’d like to see the Seahawks dump Milroe and add JJ to the roster. * - By toffee August 29, 2026 at 05:55:19 PM
- He's been bad and injury prone on top of that. I think he has a 2nd chapter to write, but it's not on the Vikings - By Daytripper August 29, 2026 at 04:06:22 PM
- I had him as a bust. Thought Michigan fans overrated him* - By Poster P August 29, 2026 at 03:29:22 PM
  - Certainly Jim Harbaugh did. Greatest Michigan QB ever my ass. - By el fuego August 29, 2026 at 03:36:27 PM

    - Drew Henson was the best QB I’ve seen play at Michigan. His career was far too short, but he was the best imo. ** - By Ian August 29, 2026 at 03:49:28 PM
      - Brady was better than Henson in 1999. 3 top individual QB performances: Brady v Alabama - Orange Bowl; Gardner v OSU--2013; Harbaugh v. OSU 1985; H.M. : Demetrius Brown 1988 OSU - By jonpc August 29, 2026 at 04:11:49 PM
        
        I think Henson’s 2000 season seals it for me. 2d best single season qbr behind JJ in 03 iirc. ** - By Ian August 29, 2026 at 06:54:36 PM
        
        Nine quality games does not make you the best QB ever. * - By Mark II August 29, 2026 at 07:09:39 PM
        
        I attended the 1999 Michigan-Syracuse game and Henson clearly outplayed Brady* - By syrfan August 29, 2026 at 04:48:58 PM
        
        That was 1998. Brady was elite in 99. Henson’s qb rating in 98 and 99 was lower than Davis Warren * - By Rich August 29, 2026 at 06:03:48 PM
        
        Oh 99 yeah but Brady only played the first quarter. * - By Rich August 29, 2026 at 06:04:54 PM
        
        Carr’s usage of Henson in 99 cost the team a national title shot* - By Rich August 29, 2026 at 04:13:36 PM
        
        yes* - By jonpc August 29, 2026 at 04:15:39 PM
      - A lot of potential, maybe. As far as actual results, not even close. * - By Mark II August 29, 2026 at 03:55:56 PM
        
        He was great for 8-9 games in 2000. He sucked in 98 and 99* - By Rich August 29, 2026 at 04:06:46 PM
    - In college though, I loved Brady (over Henson) but JJ was arguably better. The best M QBs I've watched in no order are probably - By Rich August 29, 2026 at 03:40:54 PM
      - also - By Rich August 29, 2026 at 03:41:47 PM
        
        Was expecting to see him #1 :)* - By mtb August 29, 2026 at 03:49:21 PM
    - Tom Brady had a better college career than Harbaugh or JJ? Don’t think so. - By toffee August 29, 2026 at 03:40:15 PM
- that would be wild as a top 10 pick to not even make the roster in year 3* - By DoctorD August 29, 2026 at 03:29:02 PM
