'21 CA QB Tyler Buchner (ND FB -> Bama FB -> ND LAX???)

[MNIrishman]

In Cabin in the Woods, the Buchners were described as a "zombie redneck torture family." I hope we get some of that energy tomorrow!

 

[DONTH8]

I love Buch more than most. But the disrespect to Nebraska Gatorade Player of the Year 2023 Teddy Rezac is unreal...

 

[ulukinatme]

It’s hard to call Buchner the best QB on the roster when we still have RP3

Is he really still on roster? I need to change my title back then.

 

[PolishDomer]

Anyone know what Tyler's status is for next year?

You could make an argument that he could be the best QB on the roster.

LOL..junior HS stats dont count in this discussion...

No he’s medically retired. Kid has type one diabetes

Getting Buchner back is just like adding a portal QB

It is nice insurance if ND loses two QBs this spring.

Unironically this. He is far more talented than most 3rd or 4th string QBs in CFB.

Great for Tyler. He gets to pursue his dreams of playing Lacrosse and football here, has become a fan favorite for his role on special teams, getting a Masters, oh and he straight up robbed Alabama of $1MM thanks to Tommy Rees

 

[Jimmy3Putt]

He's a great fit in Denbrook's offense too.
IF no portal, Steve/CJ is named starter, Kenny decides to move on.
TB26 can play an important role in defending our national championship.

and he knows how to run Milroe's offense.......

Likely plays a big role on the lax team this year as an ssdm for a team that has a legitimate chance of a Three-Peat!

Indeed. We do lose quite a few midfielders off the 2024 team so the opportunity will be there for Buchner to get regular time at ssdm or maybe even offensive midfield where we lose Dobson and Reilly Gray

He should play instead of Faison who should focus on his real job for the next 2 years.

 

[T-Boone]

What is SSDM? Does the M = month?

 

[Pops Freshenmeyer]

SSD = Solid State Drive. And I'm guessing the M = Man. So I'm thinking he's got a Johnny Mnemonic thing going on.

Short stick defensive middie or midfielder. Plays offense and defense, but defensive middie usually only contributes offensively in transition, comes off the field for an offensive middie when possible

Great fit outside of the fact he can't throw

 

[choo choo]

I get he's no all-american. But he's a Notre Dame Man.

They should move him back to the QB room. I wouldn’t mind seeing how he goes with less pressure and zero expectation.

I know they said he wasn't going back to the QB room, but is he not effectively a QB? His primary role seems to be calling in plays from the sideline, which is typically a QB job, not something they have WRs do. And to the extent he has gotten on the field it has been as someone who throws/runs the ball, not catches it.

Either way, yes, especially if we lose one of Angeli/Minchey, having him available as a quarterback seems like a good move. He'll have far more game experience than any other QB on the roster next year, and if Denbrock wants QBs who can run, that's Buchner.

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

If Carr is the guy next year
Maybe Buchner run packages?

 

[dublinirish]

a nice prop bet i thought of other day. Buchner rushing TD versus Miami

 

[Me2SouthBend]

No that attempt will be had by Minchey.

 

[PolishDomer]

Not a good idea..Miami will implement the Staircase Defensive formation

 

[Some Irish Bloke]

It makes sense, he was a good enough QB to beat SCar in a bowl game, he should be good enough to be our 3rd or 4th string. I have no issue with it. Especially if there was a hypothetical scenario where Minchey transferred, our depth would be in shambles this season.

 

[rtrn2glory]

I don't see any reason why you don't. In the emergency you need a QB he's there and ready. He adds to value to the wr room in real game action. I think him at QB at least has value

 

[Redbar]

No brainer.

 

[Dale]

Good for everyone else that all 4 QBs can run the same playbook
