'21 CA QB Tyler Buchner (ND FB -> Bama FB -> ND LAX???)

[T-Boone]

Yes. Rees is the only starting QB under Kelly not to suffer a sophomore slump, and he was the only QB coach under Kelly to successfully pull a starter (Book) out of his own sophomore slump.

Okay.
He will definitely be getting judged on Pyne, Buchner and then Angeli. One of those needs to be better than advertised. In the case of Angeli and Pyne way better than advertised.

He already gets to claim credit for Book's development. Ian's performance far exceeded his recruiting rankings and natural athletic ability.

Yeah I agree. That is to his credit goodly.

I think it's fair to say all 3 QBs have been prepared when their numbers were called this year too. Coan, Buchner, and in limited reps for Pyne against Wisconsin and Cinci. They've all had their moments this season, there were no Nate Montana vs. Michigan 2010 debacles.

Hopefully in a good way. Not in an Andrew Hendrix, I-can't-believe-how-bad-that-throw-actually-is sort of way.

Kelly the QB Killer leaves
Tyler the QB Tyrant enters

What's worse? That or a Brandon Wimbush, cant-come-within-15-yards-of-net-bad

I want to believe.

Good to hear.

Now spread the word to all the WR recruits out there!

 

[PANDFAN]

I want to believe.

THIS! Too many times as an ND fan i hear great things about the qb position....i will believe when i see it..

 

[IrishLion]

At least Wimbush had good field vision. He could take off and find a lane to run.

Hendrix couldn't throw an accurate pass OR see where he was going when he was running.

Wouldn't it be something for BK to leave and our QBs start dominating?

 

[GATTACA!]

Let's all be real here. Buchner is never going to be "the" guy until he ditches the loose sleeves.

Joe Montana wore loose sleeves

 

[T-Boone]

He was pretty good this year for someone who hadn't played very much at all in school.

 

[NDisme]

Joe Montana wore loose sleeves

Yea In the 70s, loose sleeves don’t look good imo at least the way he has them

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

Going to start a conspiracy that the only reason that Jack is starting is not that he "deserves it", rather Freeman is hiding the release of the newly freed Buchner for OSU week 1.

With that said, I am crazy excited to see what Tyler can do with his new knowledge plus increased #1 reps this off-season.

 

[Number3rockin]

WHERE. ARE. YOU?!

 

[tko]

Really wish we could've seen some snaps from him today.

 

[Irishnuke]

How did he not even get one snap?

 

[irishff1014]

It just goes to show what they think about him.

 

[bkess8]

Looked so good in practice that it resulted in ZERO pt!

 

[irishff1014]

His first start will be against Ohio state. Oh boy this should be fun. It can’t beat the epic failure we watched today.

it could be that Pyne starts.

If TB doesn’t start the season then it’s a coaching problem for not getting him ready!

 

[AKRowdy]

Coaching problem or could it also be a wasted year under BK? With the exception of Book, BK basically ruined every QB ND had for the past 10 years.

How do we know Pyne isn't the better player? Recruiting doesn't mean a thing once they hit campus. Players either live up to the hype or they fail to produce. Gotta play the guy who executes the best, regardless of what scouts say.

 

[NDRock]

I really don't think Rees is too high on him. I'm hoping he's not drawn towards pass only type guys like he was. We'll see if he can develop a true dual threat guy.
