@mattdrewdrums well there's both of the last two spring games and there's the reports coming out of fall camp and there's the reports of the Rose Bowl closed session practices of some phenomenal reads and throws that he made........you don't follow the program much? You just come on here to spread unfounded assumptions?
@@DubLubb Davis Warren has looked like the best passer in the spring games. Also, camp intel has said that Tuttle has passed the ball significantly better than Orji (and I think Tuttle is mid af, at best). Orji could barely hit a ball past 10 yards in the last spring game. So, idk wtf you're talking about bud lol
@@5STARGAV That's more wishful thinking than anything because Milroe has always had a great deep ball, and we have no idea about Orji. If anything, Orjis intermediate to deep balls have looked pretty trash tbh. Also, Milroe is faster and was a pretty highly rated recruit out of highschool. So, Orji has a lot to prove to even be compared to a guy like Milroe.
I'm very encouraged by his ongoing development into a complete QB. His physical attributes are off the chart. His mind is razor sharp. His arm is strong. We saw him throw a tight, hard, sideline route in the spring game that showed that he can do it. He'll do a lot more than that with the talent and scheme he'll be working with. I love that he's stepped up and has embraced his role as a physical freak and on-field leader. The room is deep but Alex is the one with the highest ceiling this year. Go Blue.
I hope they are patient with him. Let him grow and get reps. Once he settles in he’s going to be a monster for sure. Don’t make the same mistake Bama made with Milroe last year. Let him figure it out. He has that “It” factor for sure. GO BLUE! 〽️
that will be one of he most interesting things to watch. There are bound to be some growing pains. Can Michigan's staff have greater resolve through them than Bama did with Milroe. The Tide were lucky that dude is one of the most mentally tough players they've ever had. He could have easily checked out after they benched him for a dude Rees brought with him from South Bend who couldn't be the guy there and wound up quitting football to play lacrosse.
Excellent episode! Alex Orji is a pretty impressive young man! Proud to have him as a Michigan Man. I am pulling for him to be the best he can be this year.
Thanks Sam for all that you do for the Michigan team and all of these great team players! Alex Orji is destined for greatness! He’s a great talent. He’s got a great mind and a soft open heart! Is he the one to bring home another natty? I don’t know, but he is a competitor! Go blue.
This kids mentality is awesome. I’m glad Michigan turned their program around and it’s about the TEAM again. They all are on the same page. And I can bet that whoever isn’t gets left. Go Blue 〽️
Man if this kid can consistently throw accurately and on time then he will be unstoppable given his ridiculous running ability and size. We’ll see if he can throw accurately and on time!
Just stick to the plan young man. Protect the football and the throws will follow. The team that racks up first downs usually puts points on the board. Take the shots down field when they are there.
Man, you can just tell how smart Alex is and how he is a student of the game. When his playing career is over I would love for him to come back to Ann Arbor and become a coach. Before that happens though, I wouldn't mind seeing him become Big Ten QB of the Year while leading Michigan to a win over OSU, a Big Ten championship and the CFP this year!
Pretty articulate young man. Seems sharp and overall has a good head on his shoulders. I'm hoping he is the starter. Great representative for the university from what I've heard so far.
@@carsonhoneywell6897yep, James Yoder is a 12 year old salivating, spring game autograph seeker who is probably back-to-school shopping with grandma today.....
Idk why Michigan fans think jj had to deal with some crazy passing concept offense . It’s a very vanilla passing scheme . Orji will be just fine. How many times did jj actually throw bombs down the field
@@DubLubb one game . I didn’t say it’s never happened. Let’s not act like Michigan ran some lsu with Joe burrow route tree though, where they were throwing bombs 3/5 times a a game . Most off jj throws are short or over the middle
Good eye and analysis. He wasn't a down field QB . Orji will need to be able to throw out of the pocket with some success. Doesn't need a whole lot if the run game can stay high level. I don't see that repeating it's self knowing they struggled mightily late in the season and still got the national trophy.
If you liked J.J. McCarthy. Wait till Brady Hart arrives. Orji could be a unseen talent who can make the case . Remember, the guy is a freak of nature 😂. But Warren is a more pin point accurate passer in my opinion.
@@danielchavira9968 And you want readers of this post to take that into consideration ? And do what with it. He's granted at least 2 more without the knife in the back post.
@@danielchavira9968 your opinion is noted. I personally thought the kid did enough to start him again. It's not confirmed as you say. He is QB #1 and will only get better. We won . Go Blue !
Unfortunately too bad Michigan doesn't have a proven quarterback because that will be the downside or downfall of this team this year in 2024 because the defense only can take you so far if you can't move the offense or don't have a proven quarterback who can pass the football
Unfortunately, as much as I like Orji and the other guys, I think the QB play is going to be pretty bad, and it will likely spoil a talented roster and an elite defense. Idk what the hell the coaching staff was thinking to not even seek out a transfer QB...
Lamar Jackson was a three star recruit wasn't he? Did Ohio State win a Natty in '15 with a big-bodied 3rd stringer? I'd rather have this kid than Arch Manning going into this schedule because pocket statues are easier to stop in the college game. Look what happened to Michael Penix in the Natty. We don't have Blake this year and if the Oline takes time to gel we don't have the early half pancake schedule this year. Alex is by far the best chance to make the playoff THIS year. Read option will be VERY difficult to stop.
@@DubLubb Bringing up fringe anecdotes is not exactly a convincing argument lol. Are you gonna also tell me about how smoking is safe because your grandpa smoked for 80 years and lived until 100? I think all of our QBs will have growing pains, so we might as well go with the one that shows the most promise THROUGH THE AIR. Orji does not need to start. He can be effectively utilized as a package QB. I just think committing to a guy like Orji, who has proven almost nothing through the air, would be silly. We already have great RBs, we'll have a good o-line most likely, and our WR room is underrated with all of their speed and quickness. It's better to throw our marbles into a true QB, not a damn Denard Robinson. Orji can still be used as a backup, whereas none of the other QBs can be.
@@DubLubb It's also not just because Orji is a 3 star. It's because he threw for 50% in high school, which is putrid. He was also mostly being recruited by serious programs as an athlete. Harbaugh also wanted him to return kickoffs (which no coach would EVER do with a potential future starting QB). He also could barely complete a pass over 10 yards in the spring game.
@mattdrewdrums Orji was a 4 star but you are a joke.....Heisman trophies and Nattys are "fringe" anecdotes? Let's talk about anomalies then buddy. Tom Brady is the outlier, the statistical anomaly. A guy with his level of mobility and his level of achievement isn't gonna happen again.....ever. This is what we are arguing here. For every Tom Brady there are a hundred John Navarres, Wilton Speights and Chad Hennes, and a handful of Matt Leinerts who get a Natty and fizzle at the next level. Meanwhile there are the Cam Newtons, Vince Youngs, Cardale Jones's, Tommy Fraziers, Tim Tebows, Scott Frosts, Lamar Jacksons, RG3s of the world winning Heismans and Nattys galore. Even some of the Canton guys like Elway and Steve Young could scoot. Harbaugh himself was a 4.6 40 guy. But Michigan plays in the NCAA not the NFL. Michigan needs to continue a run of success in the NCAA. You stick that surfer dude under center against Texas and Orji will bring the team back from the deficit we find ourselves in after blondie breaks a collar bone looking for a deep ball option that never materializes.
@DubLubb He was a 3 star on 247, which is the leading source for recruiting rankings. You just nitpick his highest ranking and claim that's the "real" one lol. Also, why are you calling Warren a "surfer dude?" That indicates you are irrationally against him. Can you imagine if I said Orji, that "ghetto dude" is not a good passer, how would you react? That's racist af lol. I've only substantively critiqued Orji. But, what do you know? You're the first one to actually insult the guy you don't like lol, which is telling. I still think Orji should be used as a package QB, but I don't think he has the passing abilities to be a full-on starter. And, no, not because he's black you f***ing m○r●n lol. Bryce Underwood sh*ts on all these QBs, and I would've LOVED to have him here to be our starter. But, of course, UofM can't play the NIL game...

I dont think people realize how talented this guy is. I hope he breaks all sorts of Michigan records!!
What exactly makes him talented as a passing QB? There is nothing to suggest that and more to suggest otherwise.
@@mattdrewdrumsHe will be similar to Jalen Milroe. People saying the same thing about him.

It’s very to easy to see why his teammates gravitate to him. Very intelligent guy! Best of luck to him!
My exact sentiment every time I hear him speak.
My man leads with JESUS when asked about himself! I'm gonna love watching you play this year, win or lose I'm proud of your faith and who it's in!
Agreed 👍🏾 💯, amen to that 🙏
The Michigan program not only develop football players but they mentor high character men! All the players have high character recently, I love it.
An excellent young man. Definitely - a MICHIGAN MAN! Very proud that he is part of our team.
Calm, Comfortable, and Confident. Sounds like a leader and captain. Love his insights. Look forward to seeing him on the field.
Amen 🙏🏾 Glory Be To God!!

It's obvious from watching JJ with the Vikings that Campbell knows what the Hell he's doing 😤
JJ should rehab in Ann Arbor on the sideline with a headset 🤕
Didn't appreciate the other Michigan RUclips host saying he can't throw. And we need to dumb down the offense.
