Darnold means nothing in regards to ASB. He'll be gone.
In regards to the every single QB since Luck... Kevin Hogan's #'s would be 2nd at ND behind just Quinn. Better %, TD & Int than Clausen and just 7 attempts separate their careers. I know, shocked me too.
If Chryst figures it out, he has 2 years remaining. If he doesn't Costello (most likely) or Mills will. They won't all suck just because Ryan Burns did/does.
You can crack on what they haven't done but they have pedigree. You must be shitting in your boots with a, have done nothing Wimbush as ND's QB, while your future relies on a has done less than nothing Phil Jurkovec who can't even make the Elite 11.
My god that is misleading as all hell... let's compare apples to apples, not Jimmy getting thrown to the wolves as a true frosh.
Kevin Hogan as upperclassmen stats -- YPG: 210 // TDPG: 1.7 // INTPG: 0.6
Jimmy Clausen upperclassmen stats -- YPG: 310 // TDPG: 2.33 // INTPG: 0.33
Twice as many interceptions per game, 100 less yards per game, and substantially less TDs. He was a game manager, and he has good advanced stats to back up how little he was asked to do. He only threw the ball on average 24 times a game... his INT per attempt are almost 4 times what Clausen's was as a junior despite never being asked to make a difficult throw his entire career. There's a reason he was a 5th round pick... mediocre, limited skill set.
Chryst is garbage, Costello or Mills could be great. My point is that Amon Ra would be really silly to make a decision on the assumption that they
will be great when USC is likely to sign guys just as highly rated or better in the next few classes.
