re: 2017 Starting QB

Honestly, I think Reel is right. I don't like it, because I think LDR is kind of suffering the same fate that Driskel did -- super bad luck (this time with injuries), tipped passes, terrible line play and a lack of mental fortitude that he can get at this level.

That being said, McElwain has tried, tirelessly at that, to bring in new blood for a majorly broken offense. Franks, while still a sophomore has never played the game at this speed -- and I'm not sure if Michigan is the place to try it out.

Last thing we want is another QB getting his mental state broken from early bad games, and as much as I don't like it (personally, I would play Franks or whatever QB was going to be taking snaps in the future right off the bat. If he's got what it takes, he'll float) I wouldn't even be a little surprised to see LDR or Zaire start.
