Matt Leinart was one of the many analysts and fans who weren’t fans of Jim Harbaugh’s decision on Michigan’s starting quarterback.

On Saturday evening, Harbaugh announced that Cade McNamara would be the starter against Colorado State. However, Harbaugh threw a wrinkle in the announcement and said that JJ McCarthy will start the second game against Hawaii.

“It’s a great thing for our team but there’s only one ball and only one quarterback can be out there at a time,” Harbaugh said in a statement. “So we’re not ready to say who the starting quarterback is, but the decision that we have made is Cade McNamara will start the opener against Colorado State and JJ McCarthy will start the second ball game against Hawaii, and then after week two we will make a decision going into week three on the starter and backup.”

Well, that decision was highly criticized by FOX Sports analyst and former Heisman Trophy winning quarterback Leinart.

Michigan opens up the season next Saturday vs. Colorado State with Cade McNamara at the helm.
