What would it take to get Hartman at least as a finalist for the Heisman?
Stats alone aren’t likely to do it, in our offense. But good numbers plus going 11-1? Would 10-2 with a win over the current Heisman-holder do it?

It is a popularity contest for the best player on the best team with heavy preference for QB. Hartman got the benefit of all eyes on him in first football game of the year and did not disappoint. Nobody thinks we have all world WRs so his yardage and completion % will be highly respected. He hit 8 different receivers - I mean damn.

He doesn't need Tecmo bowl numbers next week, a few highlight reels and high efficiency will do the trick. NCST is the first real show and of course he can be a front runner with an MVP performance to beat the fucknuts. Thanks to "week zero" he hopefully walks into the OSU game 4-0 with plenty of Heisman hype and not even the end of September yet.

On the DPS, he named Florida and Auburn as two schools that were in on him when he decided to transfer. Said there was a little interest from Bama as well.

When he decided to enter the portal, he mentioned he was contacted by Florida and Auburn. Said there were others, but he didn't want to expand. After talking to a number of schools just felt ND was the best place for him. Oh, and he grew up a scUM fan. :ROFLMAO:

Garrett said something bizarre on the broadcast Saturday about how Hartman was planning to go the draft until someone at Florida mistook his brother (who is apparently a med student at UF) for Sam himself and asked big bro if he was transferring? And that put the idea in his head?
That sounds like nonsense but I'm sure Florida would've been a player here, given their needs and how much $$ they were throwing around. I'd be surprised if Bama didn't make a run at him too, if not before they hired Rees than certainly after (unless his NIL deal here was ironclad, I suppose.) He was smart not to bother with Auburn.

Don't forget, Florida had a BIG NIL issue w/ Rashada that made the news rounds in DECEMBER....According to the Gator Collective/Rashada contract, first obtained by the Athletic, Rashada was supposed to receive $500,000 up front and $250,000 a month as a freshman, $291,666.66 as a sophomore, $375,000 as a junior and $195,833.33 as a senior.

All he had to do was reside in Gainesville, Florida, and sign a few autographs, make a few appearances and send out a few social media posts.

That kind of money and you get to play in the SEC for a national title-winning program? That kind of money when you’ve never even proven yourself as a college player?

Who wouldn’t at least consider it, if not take it? That is a life-changing amount.

It turned out the Gator Collective was all talk, no cash. When the initial payment fell through in early December of 2022, the Rashadas began getting nervous. By early January, they bailed out altogether. As news of the broken deal erupted around him, Rashada quietly signed with ASU, in part because Dillingham had recruited him previously.

sports.yahoo.com

After Jaden Rashada's NIL debacle caused panic, he's become a feel-good story at Arizona State

Rashada left Florida after a reported $13.8 million NIL offer fell through. Now he's won the starting QB job at Arizona State as a true freshman. That is one quick redemption story.

If Ohio State dbs play catch-technique against us it could be a long day for Hartman. He makes a living on comebacks or slightly under thrown balls, back shoulder passes. He seems to lack the accurate deep ball that the top echelon guys have or ability to drive the ball across the field with that power to get it there quickly. IDK. He’s good though and better than what we’ve had recently. But they will play us differently this year. They don’t have to worry about Buchner's legs now.

I love Hartman but I do look forward to the day where we have a CJ Carr or Deuce knight that can rifle the ball with that extra juice that separates good from elite QBs and make all the throws. Whether they have the poise and it factor of Hartman will be the million dollar question and determine if they’re first round talent or not.

Can Sam Hartman be the best Notre Dame QB since Joe Montana? | College Football Enquirer

Yahoo Sports’ Dan Wetzel and Ross Dellenger, and Sports Illustrated’s Pat Forde hop on the College Football Enquirer to discuss their first impressions of new Notre Dame QB Sam Hartman in the Fighting Irish’s demolition of Navy in Dublin, and debate just how good Hartman can be in the history of...

I wouldn't want Sam to be like Joe. Joe kinda put up pedestrian numbers in college. I mean, after one game Sam already has more than 1/3 of the 11 TDs that Joe scored in his best year. How about best QB since Quinn?

I've longed for a Drew Brees-QB. The one who may be just a tad shorter than the NFL execs drool over, the one who plays incredibly poised and throws the ball over the field, the one who often sees or senses pressure and calmly slides to the side to try and buy a little more time before firing it off. Hartman was absolutely surgical on Saturday.

Normally, I'm an insufferable asshole during an ND broadcast; game-induced hypertensive rage, throbbing-headaches and unreasonable irritability. Hartman is our surgeon-QB; the curer of past pains; the blood-letter who aligns your humors. There is no anesthetic, his hand is too swift and sharp. He sliced through the decade-long necrosis that's ailed me, and in so doing, made me a believer.

Honest to God, I played with my kids from the 2nd-4th quarter, albeit intermittently. We built a car track that ran the width of our basement and they had a lot of fun. I mean my kids were laughing next to me and I never once lost it or snapped at them or told them they were losing something.

I'm already looking forward to watching a 2nd game with the kids. That is a sentence I've never uttered in any variation anywhere.

Are we forgetting about Clausen? If we’re looking at single season, I’d put Clausen’s junior year up against any ND QB.

Clausen was first or second round talent. He had a big accurate arm and put a lot of heat on his passes. I would’ve loved to have seen him on the 2012 team. Why he wasn’t better in the NFL is a mystery to me. He had all the talent one could ever possess.

Love Clausen, but I would say he had better tools to work with too in Tate, Floyd, and Rudolph. Quinn made Samardzija, Stovall, Carlson, and McKnight into household names. All good WRs/TEs in their own right by the end, but Samardzija and Carlson were 3 star recruits and most people had written off Stovall and McKnight by 2005. They all became stars, and a lot of that had to do with Quinn. I hope Hartman does the same.

Yes, and not his fault entirely, but those teams were 13-12 and it was a rather forgettable time. I know they lost a lot of close games in 2009, but for all the numbers Clausen put up, Brady Quinn had those moments that drudge up romantic memories among sports fans. Stanford 2005, at Michigan State 2006 and UCLA at home....those moments are why people think of Quinn first instead of Clausen. Jimmy just didn't really have those moments.

Clausen was a victim of the hype that surrounded him and the failures of that coaching staff that had recruited him to Notre Dame. Relatively speaking, it's hard for me to look back on that fondly versus 2005 and 2006.
