Being that he was the first QB off the board at #20, I thought I'd build him a memorial profile.

He now joins the... Wanted to be Irish Club who went in the First Round with:

Bob Griese, Jim McMahon, Doug Flutie, Carson Palmer, Philip Rivers, Jay Cutler and then there's Allen Iverson.

Will Brady Allen soon be on this list?

Hard to believe the QB rooms the late 70's and the early 00's woulda been like if ND had always been a passing program.

Notre Dame and Sub-Par QB's...thats what South Bend does.

Define par.

There are 60 P5 programs that would’ve killed for Book during one of his ND years. 60 more woulda done the same for ‘15 DK.

I'm referring to guys who are elite college guys. Book was a solid dude on great teams. DK '15 was a boss, no doubt.

I dont buy that 60 teams would have taken Book as their starter.

At ND, we need better. Whether its a star athlete, a kid with a rocket arm, whatever. We need better production from that position.

Kenny Pickett was mediocre until year 5 though...

 

[Rogue219]

Wondering what Stroud and or Young would look like on the Pitt teams this guy played on.

Hypothetical day dreams of course.

 

[NorthDakota]

Kenny Pickett was mediocre until year 5 though...

He wouldn't have started until this year in all likelihood. A season we had a pretty damn good team.

Unless he won it earlier. He's night and day better than Book.

 

[BobbyMac]

Kenny Pickett was mediocre until year 5 though...

Agreed.

Question is, does he get buried and transfer being stuck behind Book?

Does he wait it out and have Jack Coan's year in '21?

Or does he never develop into this Kenny Pickett cuz he doesn't get 3 years of being the starter to become 2021 Kenny Pickett.

This one.

Kenny at his introductory press conference.

Poor Mitch Trubisky.

OF COURSE the Bears traded away the future to move up to #2 for him.

I hate Sundays.

 

[IHateMarkMay]

I really thought Trubisky would flourish in Pitt. Finally have some continuity and the playbook isn't changing every year. Looks like PIckett is the future though.

Is Matt Canada still the Steelers OC?

If so, I'd hesitate putting my money on whoever the QB is. Trubisky, Pickett or anyone else.
