Hi guys,
I am of the opinion that the only answer to this question will have to wait until the fall, but it's the off-season, so speculation and hope is all we have at this point.
The question is how much of an advantage does Threet have being in this offense for a full year, as compared to a Forcier, who is currently knee-deep in playbooks, but will be taking part in spring practices, etc.?
Threet looked good at times, but I do not think we would ever see him leading the charge for a top ten team (not that I am expecting this right now). Forcier has the rankings, the dedicated website, and the maniacal teachings of Mr. Marinovich that gives fans hope that he can be a freshman sensation. But I think it's Threet's job to lose with Forcier pressing and getting the reins mid-season if Threet's not winning. Sheridan should not, and I believe, will not, be in the conversation.
Your thoughts?

Thanks for the question
This time of year a lot of speculation occurs because the team is not in pads practicing and we have not yet been able to see the freshmen going up against the stiffer college competition.
There is no substitute for game experience. It is one thing you cannot coach.
Threet with two springs in Coach Rod's scheme will have a definite short-term advantage over Forcier.
Over the long haul, Forcier's superior skill-set and experience with the spread offense will probably make it tough to keep hime out of the line-up.
The key will be how fast he picks up the offense, how fast he adapts to the speed, size, and skill of major college football players, and how he deals with 110,000 Michigan fans all focused on him on game day.
These are things that -- try as you will -- you just cannot simulate.
