We will never reach a consensus opinion on the sign stealing saga. Some think it was everything, others think its effect on outcome was overblown.
But I’m not sure how anyone can look at the success Mike McDonald has had in the NFL… Jesse Minter, Jay Harbaugh, Colston Loveland, Aidan Hutchison, Blake Corum, AJ Barner, Mason Graham, Kenneth Grant, Mike Sainristill, even JJ is starting to play good football (regardless he was one of the best Michigan QBs of all time), etc etc..
.. but especially McDonald, Minter, and Jay Harbaugh and say that the *only reason* Michigan won any big game post Covid was from Connor Stallions.
It’s just disingenuous and not even worth a further conversation at that point, if you can observe the high level, NFL success of these guys. And yet still say effectively, “Michigan was not really even good. The only reason they were good was bc of Stallions.”
Watching the Rams play Seattle last night, basically for the title of top dog in the NFL, and seeing McDonald come away with the win. Seeing a key special teams TD credit to Jay Harbaugh, and seeing all of the former UM players balling out.. I just don’t understand how anyone could reasonably down play how good of a team and staff Michigan had.
Levi Davis might’ve just accomplished the most impressive feat in Ohio sports. To be the starting point guard and starting quarterback of a Division I state championship basketball and football team in the same 9 months is INSANE! Congrats to him @levi_davis13
