Based on current NFL draft picks.... outside of QBs... here's Kiper's pics for QBs in order
It’s not a great year for QBs, is it? Still that feels like second round at worst. I don’t quite get why he’d stay in college unless it’s purely for the payday. In which case he’s probably not a great investment.
Jalen Milroe? 🤣
If that is the QB draft class I’m feeling pretty good entering it if I’m Quinn Ewers. Heck, I’m not feeling too bad if I’m Riley Leonard
I don't think some of y'all have been watching Texas football games. He's an absolute head case, is hanging onto his starting job by a thread, and would drive this fan base nuts.
You're proving my point my man. We don't know if they are. Because ND hasn't given them the chance to. ND has dipped into the portal for 2 yrs now? For QB. Why? I ask why for 2 reasons. Either they don't believe that the QB roster is up to par. And I fail to see why it wouldn't be. Yove got Minchey. Carr. Jelly. Give these kids a shot to run the offense. Now imma get a bit wild. You have these kids. Submerged in this offense for yrs? And you're not willing to give them a shot to execute said offense? Instead you portal shop for a QB only to have to teach him new terminology? To run said offense for only a yr? Take that opportunity to coach up the guys we got. And we've got talented QBs. I guess what I'm trying to say is. Why would Minch, Jelly, or Carr stick around if they think that they won't get a chance to actually prove themselves.
You're correct. I have a Lil bit of insight. I have a job that I'm on campus a lot. And I can say you're absolutely right. We have a saying back home. "He hard headed" and "who done hear gohn feel"
Don't hold your breath because it's unfortunately not going anywhere until the complete collapse of NCAA sports. I hope I'm wrong but I think recruiting at ND is going to take a massive hit in the next few years as upfront NIL money is going to make it near impossible top 300 talent.
I mean has this season not entertained you?
No I'm not... I'm just posting links from Kiper and other pundits that believe the Irish will go to the portal for a QB again.... your point is yours...
Actually, and I’ve said this before, I watch less and less college football every year. The closer it comes to resembling the NFL the less I enjoy it. I accept I’m in the twilight of my fandom, finding more interest in other passions.
I have been trending this way with season after season of bama or bama east(Georgia) or bama more east (clemson) being bought semi pro teams and everyone else the Washington generals. But this new parity and parody has drawn me back in
I’m genuinely happy for you. To be honest, my flailing interest has lead me to find new passions over the last few years. I added clay shooting and fly fishing to my hobbies.
Nice.
This I completely understand, though moreso with professional sports — NFL and NBA are nearly unwatchable for me. Part of my interest recently is my to see the Irish win one NC before the whole sport goes to shit — which feels like it’s maybe 5 years down the road. All the complaining aside, my interest in “eat-what-you-kill” sports, like MMA and F1 has really increased. It’s just easier to stomach an athlete winning millions if he actually has to win to get paid.
But how would we ever compete for a championship?
Same on Nussmeier..he has not shown out too well when needed.
I know Carr scrambled in HS, like all hs QBs it’s seems, but is he mobile enough for what denbrock wants?
IMO, Carr is the modern pocket passer. Mobile enough to get out of trouble and keep the defense honest in the spread, but you aren’t running qb dives like Riley.
Eventually you require more of the drug to get the same high.
