Morgan is 24 years old.Lastly, the dude is pushing 30 so it is hard to bank on a high upside as he matures.

OC Matt Canada grew up in the Big Ten footprint, was a Big Ten guy and coached at Maryland in 2018 before getting swept up in the DJ Durkin debacle.
Streveler is the high water mark but I think both Weber and Leidner got some playing time.
Easily NFL-caliber accuracy, touch, timing/anticipation. That statement is a horrible takeI’ve been asking you to explain this for some time now. Nobody thinks Morgan has top level physical attributes, and lack of mobility is a problem. He is above average at some things, which is very obvious. You have always seemed to be having a different argument. Not sure what your problem is with Morgan? Maybe you should call up Matt Canada and ask him why he’s wasting everyone’s time.
And Streveler played QB for the Gophers for 2-3 games.Weber was in the NFL for 2-3 years. Leidner was in the NFL for 2-3 weeks.
Streveler played probably the most memorable game of any QB in the history of Minnesota but... not in a good wayAnd Streveler played QB for the Gophers for 2-3 games.

Not to mention it’d likely get tipped at the line of scrimmageI can’t imagine Morgan trying to make out route throws against NFL DB’s will go well for him. He just doesn’t have the zip on the ball to do that

I get what you are saying, just not sure Purdy really is comparable to Morgan. His stats in college are quite a bit better than Morgan's, and he is definitely more mobile. Why he didn't go earlier in the draft is up for debate...most predictions were for a middle round.In addition, Matt Canada was the offensive coordinator for PJ Fleck when he played at Northern Illinois.
I heard one of the Gopher coaches say in an interview that of the better things that happened for Tanner was the emergence of Brock Purdy last year, as a guy who played a ton of football as a college player (48 college games) and used that experience to step in as a rookie and play well when called upon. The fact Morgan has so much experience (49 college games) and is a mature, 24-year old rookie on a cheap contract can absolutely help him make the team.
They most likely won't cut Trubisky unless they want to cut costs badly.
Not a great sign for TM2 unless they cut Trubisky
Anything to be noticed by other teams.![]()

The Steelers are finalizing a two-year extension with the former No. 2 overall pick, a source confirmed to ESPN.www.espn.com
Not looking promising for Tanner as backup. Hopefully can get on the PS with a solid camp.
He's one of those people who currently look older than their age, but at some point will begin to look younger than their age.Morgan is 24 years old.
Yep, for guys in Tanner's position it is about making the best impression you can so if it doesn't work out with the current team you increase your chances of being picked up by someone else.Anything to be noticed by other teams.
Jerry’s qb blind spot kept ol jer from going on to coach at Arkansas/Texas. He really blew it.And Streveler played QB for the Gophers for 2-3 games.
You're telling me Dimonic McKinzy wasn't a B1G-caliber QB?Jerry’s qb blind spot kept ol jer from going on to coach at Arkansas/Texas. He really blew it.
For the offense he ran here, he was nearly spot on in who he recruited at QB. You can debate if that was the right offense to be running...Jerry’s qb blind spot kept ol jer from going on to coach at Arkansas/Texas. He really blew it.
He ran it cuz he didn’t have a capable qb not the other way around. The best part is he had the players to be better but his stubbornness on his Leidner over Nelson decision doomed him. It is delicious.For the offense he ran here, he was nearly spot on in who he recruited at QB. You can debate if that was the right offense to be running...
fwiw; we should be thankful that Nelson transferred out when he did, but agree he was better at throwing a football.He ran it cuz he didn’t have a capable qb not the other way around. The best part is he had the players to be better but his stubbornness on his Leidner over Nelson decision doomed him. It is delicious.
I dunno I thought they were a horse a piece. Had friends who felt the same (Nelson is way better) and he wasn’t all that when he transferred out. Legend in HS but I don’t get the “he was the greatest”. Personally I thought Weber was way better and with all the OC changes it’s even more impressive with what he did during his time here. But that’s just my opinion.He ran it cuz he didn’t have a capable qb not the other way around.

Weber is my favorite all time Gophers qb. He was a baller. 2019 Tanner was the best but the body of work Weber put together with the yearly revolving door at OC leaves you wondering what his ceiling actually was.I dunno I thought they were a horse a piece.

Plus, Mitch's character is much higher compared to Nelson. Anyone who kicks another person when down is an absolute loser.Weber is my favorite all time Gophers qb.

I'd still take Mitch over Nelson any day. He was a workhorse and put his body on the line for the program. If there's ever been a heart award it's for that dude.
Was it true that Phillip Nelson told Jerry Kill that if he did not start that he would walk?Plus, Mitch's character is much higher compared to Nelson. Anyone who kicks another person when down is an absolute loser.
