'19 NV QB Cade McNamara (Michigan Verbal)

While I don’t think Pyne’s stellar performance should preclude a transfer period, I think it could diminish the need for a transfer like Cade specifically.

 

[Some Irish Bloke]

 

[T-Boone]

Yeah we would have to be desperate to take him given he de committed and went to Michigan.

 

[IrishLax]

The *way* he decommitted is probably still not going to sit right with Rees, but the rest of the staff is new.

Yep. He's gonna want to go somewhere he's guaranteed to start, and if Pyne can sustain this level of performance, that's not here. Gotta find a guy that's willing to compete.

FWIW (Of course he probably will transfer but quitting midseason seems like a bad idea)

The answer will be revealed by if he actually suits up for a game soon. If he continues to be “injured” in street clothes, he’s redshirt/transferring.

Hudson Card, please!

Does Buchner stay is another question. He’s guy that needs two years at a place out of the power 5 just to get reps and work on things at this point and maybe graduate transfer to a power 5 later. If no 2023 is available and TB leaves we need somebody just for depth at least.

 

[Dale]

I did not fact check it, but I saw something every QB signed under Harbaugh has transferred if Cade ends up doing so.

JJ eventual grad transfer to ND confirmed.

Buchner’s going to be wearing UCLA blue before it’s all over.

Bet you all the vbucks he transfers to BC

I believe Cade could be a better QB than Pyne. Sign him up.

QB grad transfers don’t transfer to compete. Have a hard time seeing it unless Pyne falls apart.

 

[Grahambo]

I think Pete Sampson had a piece within the last month about the success rate of QB transfers.

It was a good, interesting read.

We’ll see how it goes but if a guy is clearly so much better than Pyne/Buchner that we’ll just hand him the job over both of them, he probably doesn’t need to transfer in the first place.

Was it high or low? I would think low but I can also think of a ton of high level successes Ewers, Fields, Jack Coan, Hurts, Dart, Penix, Hooker

I honestly don’t remember all that much about it but I think the success rate is really low.

 

[T-Boone]

It would be because most back up QBs would transfer right?

 

[stlnd01]

It would be because most back up QBs would transfer right?

Think of all the QBs who have transferred out of Notre Dame in the last decade. How many would you call successful at their next stop? Maybe Gunner Kiel?

Yeah Fields and Hurts and a few others have done well but they’re kind of the exception not the rule. Coan was solid and what we needed last year, but not sure he’d be an upgrade from what we’ll have in the QB room next year. Transfers transfer for reasons.

For us a transfer needs to either be willing to come in and compete (and perhaps be QB2) or be some really really good QB on a lousy team who wants a bigger stage, but frankly there are not a lot of those latter guys floating around.

 

[Grahambo]

Which meant they weren’t good enough to beat out the competition of where they were at coming in as 4/5 stars with a lot of hype. (Kiel, Jurk, etc.)

I’ll have to dig for the article.

This is the real question. I will be surprised if both Pyne and Buchner are on ND's roster next season. All Pyne is doing this year is proving himself and this team is getting stronger. Buchner....is a mystery.

 

[Some Irish Bloke]

Man, Pyne absolutely BALLING out the past two games and some people just can't be pleased. Unreal.

Even Coan was an exception, not the rule. He got hurt and lost his job, not like Mertz just wowed people in practice and he lost the job in Fall camp. Rather than have a QB controversy mid-season and in the following offseason, Chryst simply decided to move on with the young, promising QB moving forward and gave him the keys. Made Coan's decision quite simple at that point.

I am pleased, just not....



...satisfied.

Guys it’s fine. Drew. Pyne.

[NDMatt91]

I wonder if there are people who still think McNamara isn't good enough to be ND's starting QB next year, given our current QB room.
