How much longer until an underclassmen has a monster year, says “I’m open” after it, and gets $10 million from A&M or somebody for one season? It has to happen soon.

A good example would be Bryce Young after last season. He could have gotten PAID by someone as a rental.

It happened last season; it just wasn't a quarterback. We'll see Jordan Addison in two weeks.

That probably means he's entering the draft, right?

Yes, per this article you are correct. I looked it up because I had no idea why he would transfer from a program he's had great success with, sounds like he's eying the draft.

Is the Cam Rising era nearing an end for the Utes?

While it remains Cam Rising's path to leave after this season, there's still a small chance he returns for another season. But don't count on it.

I think the most realistic possibility of a transfer would be Cade McNamara. The irony would be palpable.

Hell no. I would prefer no transfer at all to taking him.

I tend to agree; I didn't say I'd want him haha, just said he's be available and there's the connection

He’s already getting paid.

I agree though in the sense someone like Drake Maye (he won’t leave because he’s from a UNC family) could enter the portal after this season and cash in big time.

I would assume he is thinking his draft stock can’t really go higher and he’s had injuries in the past

Yep, I understand the injury aspect.
It just seems crazy to me, because there about 5-7 good spots he could walk into right away that if things broke right for him would greatly improve his draft stock.
I'm sure he has agents telling him he can be a 2nd - 3rd rd. pick this draft cycle, I would just be surprised if that happened.

Ohio QB Kurtis Rourke exits with knee injury vs. Ball State

Based on the article, looks to be serious.

Prister: “Notre Dame’s goal is to bring in an experienced, proven QB via transfer.”

Dale · Nov 17, 2022

The thread was discussing Hudson Card, implication seeming to be that someone like Card (unproven higher potential compared to others) wouldn’t be exactly their #1 choice

I hope that means they have a target in mind.

Sounds like Leary, but his injury gives me pause.

Van Dyke and Armstrong fit equally well.

The injury gives me pause but they're going to have way more information than we will when they make a decision.

Mavericknyc1980 · Nov 17, 2022

I like we are looking forward to a transfer as well. It looks like they are making a concerted effort to improve the QB room

Cade McNamara might be another possibility. I'd take him if we can't get anyone else, but he's not my top choice.

Explain to me why you and others want him so bad? I don't fucking get it.

McNamara is Pyne before taxes. No thanks

Dale · Nov 17, 2022

We’d be 9 - 1 with McNamara. Potentially 10 - 0. He would not be my first choice. Probably not even my 5th choice. But I’m not above taking a QB off as 13 - 1 season that included beating OSU at home. Something we’d like to do next year.

NDPhilly · Nov 17, 2022

Van Dyke and Armstrong have been so bad this year that they cant be your top options

thekid33 · Nov 17, 2022

A healthy Leary is easily the top option.

That he probably won't be healthy for the Spring is a concern. Yes, he'll be ready for the fall. But, I'd love to have someone come in and compete and get reps in the Spring.

I threw his name out there at some point, not that I "want him so bad" but I think he'd be a solid, veteran candidate to improve the room, to be sure. he's a competent game manager, takes care of the ball, and led scUM to a B1G tite and playoff berth last year. That's comparable to Ian Books 2018 season (I would take 2020 Book over McNamara any day).

If anyone's looking for a Joe Burrow type impact, that situation was a one-off occurrence, and shouldn't be an expectation. Even if we get Jack Coan 2.0, I'd take it.

I'll take anyone who wants to come and compete in this room, I'm not sure if there will be a bonafide stud looking to grad transfer, I hope there is.

If Leary is healthy and the staff feels good about him no question he's the top option, IMO.

He's pretty damn good.

goldendomer89 · Nov 17, 2022

I don't think some of you still realize how much Pyne handcuffs this offense.

McNamara wouldn't be my first choice, but we put 50+ on Navy with him at QB instead of Pyne.

I don't want him so bad, but I'd take him if he's the best we can do. I'd be surprised if he wasn't the starter next year if he came to ND.

I want Hudson Card.

I want Card too. Major upgrade over Buchner and I think he has two years — could be wrong. It’ll be two years before any commit or current QB on the roster will be ready. I’m assuming Buchner transfers in this scenario.

100% agreed here. Hard to imagine the coaches evaluating and seeing anything otherwise. Coan was a totally different situation than these two guys.

At what?

Handing the ball off?

Throwing swing passes?

Throwing 25 yard bombs down the field?

We can do better. Is he solid? sure. But he's not even the top 5. Apparently heading to Cincinnati anyway.

NC State QB Devin Leary out rest of season with torn pectoral muscle

This got my attention: "Leary entered the season as one of the most intriguing players in the sport, as he'd thrown 35 touchdowns and just five interceptions in 2021. That earned him plenty of preseason college hype and NFL intrigue, as his arm strength was considered among the best in the sport by NFL scouts."

I understand being concerned about Armstrong but Van Dyke’s numbers look fine.

EDIT: I mean, they aren't great but they don't set off alarm bells. Meanwhile, his numbers in 2021 for a mostly functional team were very good.

stpeteirish · Nov 17, 2022

A good group of 5 QB might be the best fit, i.e. someone who is a starter and still expects to have to compete for the job at ND. Don't ask me who. I pay no attention to those teams.

And please spare me the "Buchner might transfer" crap. That's last year's big mistake.
