2025 Fall Practice Thread

He said Carr was going to be the guy.

Damn. Mercke's been merked.

 

[NDPhilly]

I mean for a purported “insider” to botch the QB battle that badly is worth some clowning IMO.

 

[zelezo vlk]

I feel like this would be the honourable thing to do at this point

First he must publicly rebuke Skyline and then he will be allowed seppuku

 

[ab2cmiller]

For a guy that didn’t like being doubted even when he was right, I can only imagine his mental state today.

 

[IrishWayDomer]

Totally reasonable given how awful he was being treated here.

We asked him so many dumb questions. We needed a question's governance committee.

 

[dublinirish]

First he must publicly rebuke Skyline and then he will be allowed seppuku

The least he could do

 

[BeauBenken]

I hate to be that guy but if you make proclamations like that as an insider and you're wrong it's probably to be expected to get some push back.

To my understanding people were actively trying to dox him and were genuinely stalking him, I think that's taking it beyond expected pushback.

 

[CoachB]

I don't think he was wrong. Carr probably was in the lead when he posted.

Holy smokes! What is wrong with people? We are all ND fans.

 

[DomeFieldAdvantage]

Someone more tech savvy than me should put together a video of all his spring game snaps

Absolutely fuckin ridiculous. Theres always a few and those few are the worst kinds of people.

I always had a feeling that Kenny was being counted out too much. I wasn't expecting him to win the job, but I also respect the fact that he responded to the competition and flat out won the job. I just hope now he plays well enough to keep it

The lead changed in the last 36 hours?

 

[317Irish]

Merk didn't delete his profile. Guy wanted to stop being followed everywhere so he had us delete a bunch of former posts that would trace back to him. That was in the works days ago.

He's still around but didn't want to be brought up constantly.

A bunch of, but not all? Was this deleting of posts a suggestion by a third party. I’ve got a lot of questions and I want the truth!!!

[dublinirish]

LOL third team offense reps only

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

fuck.
CJ may have the yips after all

 

[rikkitikki08]

I don’t give a shit who the QB is, just win baby

 

[zelezo vlk]

They caught Carr microwaving some frozen Skyline

Couldn't he just not respond? It is an anonymous message board after all.

JMO, but given Carr has the better arm, it sounds like he might have been trying to prove himself a little too much with forced throws, which of course leads to TO's. Maybe he will see the field at some point this year, but every coach wants to keep mistakes to a minimum and let the other team beat themselves. You could tell Kelly was big on that always calling for a fair catch on punts and KO's.

I think Carr has the jitters. I didn't want to believe it. But I think he does. And if he was truly forcing it with "harder throws" then he was over thinking it...because, again, jitters.

 

[NDVirginia19]

Bend Marketing thinks that Angeli still has a chance

 

[2013Irish]

Assuming the rumors are true, Carr would be well advised to not transfer IMO. In the absolute worst-case scenario for his playing time, Kenny is a fully healthy two-year starter. I think, after two years, Freeman would take the approach Sark took with Ewers last year and indicate that they want to move forward with the next QB (i.e. Carr). He'd have two years to start in that scenario. There are other noteworthy QBs who have benefitted from being patient in similar situations. Nussmeier, Beck, and (maybe) Arch come to mind immediately.

I don't see Hebert or Grubbs jumping him and Jarrard would be a freshman in 2027.

 

[InKellyWeTrust]

I can't say I'm not a little disappointed, but I'm fully behind Minchey. Carr seemed to be the chosen one, but may end up eerily similar to long list of once touted ND QB recruits who never amounted to much. I hope he still is our starter someday.

 

[NDVirginia19]

Love and Price both returning kickoffs??? Or is Hansen just on one

 

[NotKoon]

This means that not a single heir apparent QB recruited by the Kelly and/or Rees regime won and kept that starting job

 

[indianamouse]

Do we really know it's Minchey at this point? I won't believe who the starter is until the first snap at this point.

I think this all is stemming from one poster on 247 and we're all just running with it

 

[50milesSE ND]

I don’t care who it is as coaches will pick the better of the two! However a little shocked if Carr isn’t the guy! He isn’t as athletic as we all know, but was very decisive and quick with throws during spring game. Kenny seemed to struggle a bit with where he wanted to go with ball. He must have made big strides. So good for Kenny!
