Listen I’ll gladly eat crow if Angeli stays, starts, and leads us to 10+ wins. But there’s nothing I’ve seen from him that would indicate that he’s more than a Northwestern/Wiscy talent level QB wearing an ND uniform.

Minchey is a literal unknown.

Carr is literally hurt.

It’s unfathomable some of you are so averse to spending money that isn’t yours that could make your favorite team BETTER. And yes literally any name mentioned is better than our current QB room at present.

I think you’re contradicting yourself a bit here…we don’t know how good Minchey and Carr are so how do we know that a transfer is better?

I want a list of people who are in the camp of roll with what we got. That way I can make sure those saying they dont want a transfer aren't allowed to criticize the coaching staff next year for not taking one if we go 9-3 with one of Angeli/Carr/Minchey, or fall short of a natty due to bad QB play in the playoffs.

IF the coaches end up taking a transfer QB, I trust this staff that they know what they have and what they need to continue being a championship contender. That's still a big if.

I want to have one of our own lead us to being a championship contender almost more than anything... but I care about being a championship contender more than having one of our own have us be a 9-10 win team and not a championship contender.

I trust that Freeman knows what he needs to make this a championship contending team, and I hope he has every resource made available to him to do so.

If you are making a list, put me on it. We’ll diminish our chances of successfully recruiting the position beyond next year if we don’t ride with a guy who has a year or two in the program and are a year or two further versed in the offensive scheme. Why would any HS qb ever choose to go to ND? To ride the bench?

It also might give some pause to the recruits we lined up but didn’t sign yet. This is saying nothing about such a move almost certainly cause more than one transfer from the current roster. So yeah, put me on the list. 😉

My thoughts were moreso that I know what I’m getting in Sawyer Robertson or Milroe. Like I said, I’d roll with Carr if we knew he was healthy, but that doesn’t seem to be the case right now.

My concern with Minchey is that if he is to be our starter next year he’s never taken a meaningful snap. Sure, he could be awesome…but in todays era of CFB can we waste an entire year with a loaded roster to bring along a new QB?

I’d go to the portal every single year if I had the ability tbh.

The coaches know what’s happening and who’s coming in, ultimately that’s all that matters. It’s a smart play to keep it quiet to limit distractions and focus on the current team that’s about to host a playoff game. Leadership 101, it does the team zero good with this information getting out

Love Angeli but we aren’t a serious program if we expect to win a championship if he’s the QB. He’s good but not great. Takes way too many sacks isn’t a great runner and doesn’t throw the ball away when he should.

More talented than Carson Beck, so now all we need is the plethora of elite DL and skill position recruits and presto....he could lead this team to a title.

He’s an amazing backup QB for this program. Sure, if we had Georgia or Ohio State-level talent around him, we could contend for a championship with him. But the only way we’re going to win it is with a difference-maker at QB like Clemson

Spot on....it's ok to be average/above average with a ton of 5* and NFL talent on both sides of the ball. Remember guys like Ken Dorsey, Greg McElroy, AJ McCarron, and Stetson Bennett.

That's a good trivia question, has any QB ever been with a program for 3 years...played very little and then came in as the starter in year 4 and won a Natty?

It's been a couple Montana and Flynn come to mind right away

I dont see how anyone blindly signs up for ride with the current group without more knowledge of Carr’s injury. That changes everything for me.

Gotta be careful commenting with sensible post these days. Definitely concerning and when I played Football they always said if you play multiple QBs it just means you dont have any.

I don't know the answer but this sounds about right unless Montana sat for 2 years, won it all in Year 3 and then had the 8-3 season his senior year. I'm not sure how many years he sat before starting?

Three-plus, according to Wikipedia.

He was a freshman in 1974. Freshmen couldn't play in varsity games back then (imagine that!).
In '75 he was a backup but came in to engineer back-to-back fourth quarter comebacks against UNC and Air Force.
In 1976 he separated his shoulder in the preseason and didn't play.
In 1977 he wasn't even the starter until Week 4. (In Week 3, after another QB had a career-ending injury, he led a fourth quarter comeback to beat Purdue, and they finally gave him the job).
In 1978 he was a fifth-year senior and ended his career with the Chicken Soup Game.

Of course today he'd have gotten restless and transferred to, like, Pittsburgh between his second and third years, spent the rest of his college career handing the ball off for Narduzzi, and no one would've ever heard of him.
