Did the older Forcier make a mistake in transferring to Stanford?

We all know that his little brother Tate is considering attending Michigan next fall. We also know that Tate's older brother Jason was on the Wolverines roster two years ago before he decided to transfer to Stanford. Jason saw Chad Henne and Ryan Mallett taking up all his playing time, so he left town.

Well, things have changed in Ann Arbor and both Chad and Ryan are gone and Jason is in Palo Alto. What could have been right? Seems even Jason thinks about that:

"A lot of my friends and old teammates tell me I should not have transferred," Forcier said. "That's in the past now. At Stanford you get the best of both worlds. You can play at a high level Division I school and get an Ivy League education. The bottom line is I'm getting better every day."

With that said, Foricer is trying to earn the starting spot for former Wolverines QB Jim Harbaugh's team.

"We all want to win," Forcier said. "This is something I've looked for ward to for three years. It's the first time I feel like I'm competing for something. I've grown up being the guy and I want to be the guy. If I win this job I know I earned it because I'm competed against the best."
