'12 IN QB Gunner Kiel (Cincinnati Transfer)

[Bogtrotter07]

Feel better?

I don't. Do you really feel that the gap left by Keil's absense is worse that the resources freed to develop MZ and the chance of picking up a higher rated '14 or '15 qb?

 

[magogian]

Well, nice job there Kiel.

If EG is really gone, Gunner could have had his big shot right around the corner.

 

[Irish Houstonian]

If it's possible, I say bring him back.

Pride doesn't give you any more points on the field.

Bad decision after bad decision.

I know we're desperate, but I really doubt he can come back at this point. I mean, he's not taken a class at Cinci as far as we know (he could be taking a summer class?), so I guess it's possible, but he's at a new program now, may as well not get your hopes up.

All makes sense except for the whole "last" part.

Don't want him back!

As in before the playoffs start i meant grin:

How Gunner Kiel Could Play for ND This Year

Very likely just an academic debate. Can't see this happening. But then again...

 

[t3hjc]

This guy says Kiel can legally return and play this year:

How Gunner Kiel Could Play for ND This Year

 

[rtrn2glory]

he couldn't of waited 2 months

 

[loomis41973]

Rather see Malik or Tommy.

 

[koonja]

Rather see Malik or Tommy.

No way. Tommy is bad and Malik is not ready. If Gunner can come play this year, we would be incredibly lucky.

 

[returnofthemack]

F*ck that. I don't want him to come back, I don't care if he wins the Heisman at Cincy. If he quit on us, then good riddance. I can't stand Rees and think he's horrible, but I'd rather have him than Kiel.

 

[Bogtrotter07]

Luck of the Irish? Finally!

 

[STLDomer]

100% disagree w/ the bolded

 

[koonja]

If Keil comes back, Woolybug better too.

 

[Junkhead]

Tommy is ok as a fill-in, but not as a full season starter. I guess next season he has another chance at it? Ugh

 

[AllGoldEverything]

F*ck that. I don't want him to come back, I don't care if he wins the Heisman at Cincy. If he quit on us, then good riddance. I can't stand Rees and think he's horrible, but I'd rather have him than Kiel.

Yeeeeeepppp

 

[greyhammer90]

Sorry confused about how this got started?

If the team is ok with him coming back I'm fine with it.

 

[Irish Houstonian]

It's tough to put your team ahead of your pride...I would do it.

 

[STLDomer]

Tommy is a proven winner, that does have limitations, and we should be glad we have him and is by no means "bad". All we have seen from Gunner is highlight tapes and to be honest it's an insult to say Gunner would matter of fact start this year if he returned.

Rees is not horrible... Some people....

 

[returnofthemack]

Rees is not horrible... Some people....

Once again, the vertical passing attack will be eliminated from the playbook because of Rees, there will be no read-options, no plays extended by scrambling, many interceptions, and many fumbles. So no, he's not horrible, but he is not a starting-caliber QB, especially not for a team coming off of a NC berth.

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

ME NO WANT GUNNER BACK.

His issues with Martin haven't suddenly disappeared.
