Poll: Who should be QB1 vs Northwestern?

 

[TruthSeeker]

If you have to ask...

 

[A_Slab_of_Bacon]

Me, put me in PJ.

 

[highwayman]

Morgan might be done for season. I’ll bet he has another concussion.

 

[salzie]

I'm a fan of Tanner. He gets far too much blame for offensive miscues and it's time to give him a huge thank you and ask him to be another coach on sideline for Athan.

 

[RogueGopher]

Tanner was 6/8 before he got hurt. If he's 100% I wsnt him in over Athan right now.

Disagree.

But that's ok. I'll always root for Tanner. I think many gopher fans are overly harsh to him, but Athan looks ready

 

[MNVCGUY]

This is a tough one if Morgan is healthy......but after what we all just saw happen in the second half against Nebraska I don't know how you don't make the change to AK.

Offense just looked so much better and there is zero doubt he has a skill set that Morgan doesn't. Let him start against Northwestern and hopefully have him in a grove with Iowa and Wisconsin to finish the year.

 

[Sparlimb]

Athan for sure. But 100% know PJ would never do that if Tanner can play. He just won't turn his back on a 6th year senior. I'd rather see Athan hone his game against a team we should beat anyway...

4 yards per pass attempt isn't close to good enough.

Biggest issue with Tanner is he has a panic attack when pressured.

 

[Section 100]

That looked like his 2nd blow to the head in the past 2 weeks. If PJ loves Morgan as he says, he doesn't let him play until the December bowl game.

 

[upnorthkid]

In all honesty, AK is better suited vs NW defense who will load the box. Has the feet to hurt them

 

[pharmacygopher]

I completely understand why PJ would want to stay with Tanner

TM followed PJ basically sight unseen to Minneapolis.
TM embodies so many of PJs philosophies...team and individual, on and off the field

AK does seem loose some of his throws (he's a FR) but damn there's just something different with him

I appreciate everything Tanner has given, especially with the loss of his dad. Knowing what he's been through, it hurts my heart but Athan should be QB1 moving forward.

If TM continues to be, I completely understand why and I will continue to rally behind him and the Gophs!

If he did pick up a second concussion they may elect to shut him down for the remainder of the season.

This is my concern. Tanner has to get completely healthy, or football could ruin his life.

 

[SuperMeat]

Athan. We know what happens if we have Tanner as QB. AK is the future QB of the program, get him as many reps as possible

 

[Gopher_In_NYC]

If he did pick up a second concussion they may elect to shut him down for the remainder of the season.

Easy way to avoid a controversy and saves face for all.

 

[GophersInIowa]

It's gotta be Athan. The decision might be easy for Fleck as Morgan may not be available for awhile anyways. I'm assuming by the broadcast not showing him, he never returned to the sideline.

 

[Lou Brown]

Tanner has been a tremendous leader and representative of the program. He’s gonna come back in 15 years and get honored on the field in some way.

If you’re trying to win football games, it’s Athan.

 

[scools12]

You thank Tanner Morgan for all he has done and meant to the program then you name AK the starting QB for the reminder of the season.

Sounds like he was pointing to his head after last hit .

Hard to imagine anything but a concussion and his second really puts his health long term into equation.

 

[Gophergrandpa]

He took a hard hit to the head in the 2Q. Each concussion is worse.

 

[BrewCity-Gopher4Life]

I respect and appreciate everything Tanner has done for the U. He has helped this program in more ways than he will ever know. However, it is time for the change to AK for rest of year.

 

[Go4]

Athan for sure. But 100% know PJ would never do that if Tanner can play. He just won't turn his back on a 6th year senior. I'd rather see Athan hone his game against a team we should beat anyway...

+o4

 

[MonikerSchmoniker45]

Love that AK's first bigtime action was in pretty hostile environments.

 

[Some guy]

Fortunately for the coaching staff I think one won’t be cleared forcing them into the right choice

 

[Vandy]

The Gopher medical staff will make the call.

 

[PMWinSTP]

Me, put me in PJ.

Poll: Who should be QB1 vs Northwestern?

I love Tanner and he has performed admirably through his career, however IMHO Athan has won the job and gives us the best chance to win every game going forward. 2-0 in GOPHER FOOTBALL PLAYOFF! #RTBSUMGG
