HH round 2
- Thread starter KingBlackshirt
- Start date
If Sims is actually still injured at all, keep him on the sidelines unless we’re losing a close game and HH has looked bad or gets hurt. Ideally we’re up enough to just throw Purdy in. We likely need both QBs this year the way they both play, so we have to keep them both healthy as much as possible.
Assuming HH does well again I don’t see how you can start Sims against Michigan even if he’s 100%. Not really fair to Sims to have not played in 3 weeks and then start him against the #2 team in the country after having really struggled the first 2 games.
This is why I think Sims plays for a quarter today. It would also not be fair to keep him from live reps a week before michigan.
This. We need a steady hand at QB against Michigan. If Haarberg plays well today he should start against Michigan. Sucks for Sims but he had his chance to prove himself and he screwed it up.
No excuses for Sim's turnovers but 2 games on the road against power 5 teams (one was a top 20 team) is different than 2 games at home against group of 5 teams. Rhule is resting Sims for Michigan.
All the best to HH today!
Hopefully the O-Line kicks it in the butt, fires off a little harder and holds their blocks a little longer. Sometimes playing the backup instills that in linemen.

Let’s see if he can deliver another solid performance. I don’t think any of us expect him to dominate Michigan. However, I think he would be a safer start than Sims.
We need another confidence builder. The West is still up for grabs and there’s not any doubt they can win it

One thing I’d like to see from HH is a bit more decisiveness in the passing game…I think that will come the more reps he gets but you can definitely see a little apprehension from him
Agreed. People are way too focused on Michigan. We need to focus on the big picture of trying to get bowl eligible and win the west. That will involve baby steps. Reducing turnovers last week was a start. Now we need to start upping the turnovers on D and start completing some forward passes on O.
Oh boy.. Hopefully he's shown the ability to throw the ball down the field this week in practice.
let's start the pirate against Michigan and if it's obvious we ain't winning take him out to save his body lol.
He actually was pretty close to a few completions downfield last week. Thinking of the route to hill.
Michigan is all of a sudden a huge measuring stick because of how Haarberg played last week.
Nobody was talking about Michigan before he played, including all off-season.
“Fans” are desperate to run here and say “I told you so” if he fails to match blows with the best team on our schedule while at the same time making excuse after excuse for sims’ performance against two crap teams on the road.
This..could care less if we beat Michigan. Im only concerned about making a bowl game. So if we win great. If we lose we are still on track for what I consider a successful season.
I expect to see many more “let’s wait and see HH play a P5/B1G team” comments after he kicks more *** this afternoon
Sad sad sad

This was my thought as well. The defense is why people are interested in the Michigan game. Prior to the start of the season we didn’t dream that our defense would be as tough as it’s been. It’ll be nice to see them measure up against Michigan.
It has nothing to do with Haarberg or Sims. Our offense will struggle no matter who starts.
The last sentence in this post has everything to do with Haarberg/sims (more Haarberg, because we simply don’t know. Sims will absolutely suck)
Sucks for sims? I’m guessing nobody’s more relieved.
It’s Haarberg’s team. Always has been. Just listen to what his brothers say about him.
Good for HH to get some more reps before the B10 schedule starts. We can always put in Sims if things go south
He seemed decisive when the receivers were open. More apprehensive when our receivers were covered, which was a lot. There were a couple plays he should have thrown early, then they got covered. I'd rather see cautious and no completion than letting it fly into coverage and get a pick.
The reality is that none of our QBs are good. Their ceiling is average, but it’s doubtful they reach that ceiling. Likewise, the ceiling for this team.
And the rest of the post has to do with the defense. No need to twist it to fit your narrative.
I know you can’t help it, but you should try to let people’s post stand on their own.
You could see HH feeling it as the game went on last week. I expect him to kick *** and take names today and make any thought Rhule has of sticking Sims back in very uncomfortable.
Twist? You included a jab at the quarterbacks in a post which said, and I quote, “it has nothing to do with the quarterbacks”
Could’ve just left that part out of it was indeed all about the D
It was in response to you making the Michigan game about the quarterback, but it never was.
Saying our offense will struggle vs Michigan is an opinion unless you have a crystal ball
You don’t know. None of us do.
