2017 was Brian Kelly and Chip Long. I don't know what that has to do with right now.
The point being that the coaches made a mistake and mismanaged the QB position by starting a guy who couldn’t hit the broadside of a barn over a guy who had a cup of coffee in the NFL after watching both practice for quite a long time.
It’s apparently Freeman handicapping the offense. Third year same bull crap offense. -
This is called pride. They got big time money for a blah QB and ow have to play him. If they don’t the next NIL request will be denied.
I don't think ND boosters will be the first to blink when it comes to NIL requests.
Lots of people were complaining about Leonard's arm during and after A&M
This is a discussion board. This is what fans do. If none of us are "in the room" what are we even doing here?
I thought it was a bakery.
“The backup quarterback is the most popular guy in town”
Nothing to the point of outbarking the overall fact they won the game.
You're not in the room man, so don't discuss it.
Speaks to a bigger problem that we're constantly having this conversation again, but that's just me.
Whatever.
I kinda enjoyed last year when Ruggiero's guy with the gorgeous hair made me forget all of that.
Personally, I never understood taking RL this year when he only had one year of eligibility. Didn’t seem like the kind of guy who step in and play well right away. Hartman you could see because of his experience. So now we’ve got a guy who is mediocre and won’t be back next year. This means the guys who will be back won’t be getting many reps. For the most part, quarterbacks get better with more reps. All we’ve done is stunt our future so we can have mediocrity today.
I would've hoped that having Uncle Al and Uncle Mike in the room in part was to have a couple of more experienced uncles around to tell Marcus "no." This guy already had one surgery before he came here and then had another one since. This really isn't the time for pride or to honor NIL investments. If it was at all clear that Leonard wasn't the guy prior to TAMU or going into NIU, that's definitely a problem.
People were absolutely complaining and worried. Most optimistically chalked it up to Denbrock wanting to keep everything short and quick to limit mistakes and neutralize a great defense.
Amen…there are lot of issues contributing to the lack of success here. It’s starts with the coaching staff and includes the QB, Oline and WRs. When Leonard throws an absolute perfect ball and Greathouse drops the pass common sense tells me that is on the WR not the QB
Have you watched the NIU game yet?
I don’t think I’m Bill Walsh but I did just watch Notre Dame lose to Directional Illinois with some of the worst QB play I’ve seen in 30 years as a fan. So maybe it’s reasonable to express frustration and want a change on a fan message board dedicated to Notre Dame football.
What about when he has perfect protection on 2nd and 1 and ignores 3 wide open receivers to underthrow a double covered WR
Underthrow is the nicest possible way of putting it
Sorry didn’t mean it as a joke had health problems and game sucked so catching up on posts from last two days and 75% are from that lame ass blue cartoon dog and stood out that said initially I didn’t watch the game. Then went on to Frazier Crane all of us for having the feels. So asking if the opinionated good doc has watched the game yet seems fair.
Mitchel was not double covered and Mitchel had his man beat by a few steps. That should have been a TD. Riley was late on the throw and severely under threw the ball. That is 100% on Riley.
I’m halfway convinced that this was due to Steve intentionally waiting too long because he was trying too hard to make plays through the air, since he knows that it would add to his argument for starter.
I agree with this. The first sack he was absolutely waiting for something to develop downfield and really put some (more) doubt in folks minds, but Wagner got beat up too and he took a sack. He didn’t even look at underneath options on that, he was going for a kill shot.
