Is the Bryce Underwood Era Already in Danger?

Eric Weddle Says Bryce Underwood Can’t Play QB?! | Buckeye Weekly Podcast (Michigan Monday)

On this Michigan Monday episode, Tony Gerdeman and Tom Orr announce they are no longer with Buckeye Huddle and will be moving their coverage to BuckeyeInsiders.com while continuing the show on YouTube and podcast. They then react to former NFL safety Eric Weddle’s comments after attending a Michigan spring practice, where Weddle said he didn’t think quarterback Bryce Underwood could throw or play the position and suggested the backup might play early. Tony and Tom discuss how unusual and strong the take is based on a single practice, how spring performances can mislead, and why it may reflect more on the speaker than the player. They note Underwood’s true freshman struggles and need for development, coaching changes, motivation concerns tied to NIL money, and why it’s too early to declare his era over.
