‘21 AL QB Riley Leonard (Duke Transfer - Notre Dame Verbal)

[jprue24]

I'm confused. You called Brady a great Game Manager. I would argue that he's about the most opposite of a Game Manager as you can get.

I called him a game manager because I watched him play football in college when he was a game manager.

It's the baseline.

 

[Some Irish Bloke]

No stranger than the Chinedum Ndukwe cardboard cutout I drive around with.

But is it like a cutout of just him smiling or is it a cutout of him blowing up Calvin Johnson in '05?

But let's get back to the important argument at hand: Under which definition could we make 2006 Reggie Ball a game manager at Georgia Tech that year?

 

[arrowryan]

He is so bad. Holy fuck

 

[NDPhilly]

I had some faith after the throw to Evans. It’s over, I’ve seen enough. The confidence isn’t there, and if it’s not there by game it’s not gonna be.

 

[NDpendent]

If he doesn't have enough confidence against MAC teams, he won't have enough against Louisville and USC, it's time to move on

This guy sucks.

 

[Tejas]

fuckng weak

 

[DillonHall]

Too bad he doesn't have the integrity to bench himself. I guess he doesn't care about the team

 

[MacIrish75]

Fall on your sword, Riley. If you give a shit about the program.

 

[Jimmy3Putt]

I'm certain he's a fine young man and this isn't personal.

I FUCKING HATE WATCHING HIM PLAY QUARTERBACK!

 

[ShamrockOnHelmet]

Riley Leonard has made me hate Notre Dame football.

Fuck all of this.

Riley Leonard is basically a Wildcat QB

 

[T-Boone]

Its just frustrating because its also a season of lost development for Angeli or the other guy.

 

[SDIrishFan]

Riley Leonard is basically a Wildcat QB

Hey, that’s an insult to wildcat QBs

 

[HouseofPain]

Problem isnt RL. It is MF. Any remotely decent coach would have pulled him by now. Clearly whoever paid RLs NIL money is keeping MF under the thumb. No other explanation for it

Great victory, really.

 

[InKellyWeTrust]

I actually think he looked better throwing today, but the bar is pretty low.

 

[Riddickulous]

I actually think he looked better throwing today, but the bar is pretty low.

By far his best day throwing the football and he only put up 150 yards and a TD on an 0-3 MAC team. Says a lot really. I think they should have a package designed for him to utilize his running ability though.

What, like a five yd out route. Great

 

[Luckylucci]

It’s pretty remarkable how one 38 yard pass stops his stat line from reading 4.64/yds/att.

To be fair, a lot of average QB’s have one or two throws a game that get them to respectable numbers like 7-8 yds/att. Riley needs one just to get above 6.

 

[Giddyup]

Get MF out of the offensive room

 

[ndcoltsfan2010]

Dislike our QB play!! Leonard is horrible!! Glad we won though

 

[CanadalovesND]

Man, he just leaves so much more to be desired. Today was better, but it was an average throwing performance. ND can't have an average passer and expect to make the CFP. Leonard hasn't shown enough to assert some confidence in many that he can beat Louisville, Georgia Tech or USC with his arm.

 

[Irish2155]

This Ward guy at Miami is pretty damn good

 

[Giddyup]

Obviously RF was Freeman’s choice in the portal and had someone pony up 2 mil for him. Otherwise this “going down with him” attitude doesn’t make sense. Not sure how this choice to play the 1 yr mercenary is advancing the program.

 

[SDIrishFan]

I mean. If he can average nearly 300 total yards and 3 touchdowns, sure. Will he be able to do that against everyone? Maybe?

But something just feels off. Long stretches of bad play. Three and outs. Very easy missed throws. Dumb turnovers.

There’s just a ton of bad juju on offense right meow.

 

[BeatSC]

If he could have fixed the bad but easy throws he has a good game. If he doesn’t fumble in the long run he has a nice game. If they called more run plays for him he has a nice game. He made a few excellent throws while missing some easy ones. I think those were in the first half. He’s got to run more to exist in this offense.
