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

[IrishLax]

It IS fine,… whatever low three star we land after Moore bounces at the last minute will fill in well enough.

Be on the lookout for Ivan Kindle later in the cycle. Great intangibles, proven winner.

As a former soccer player , DAMNNNN do ankle injuries scare me, because of what you just said. A 3rd degree ankle sprain in HighSchool stayed with me all the way through college soccer . Would sometimes tie my shoe wrong and somehow my ankle would start hurting again

Most kids learn to tie their shoes by the time they are 4 or 5. What took you so long?

 

[Irish#1]

Fair question; I think the coaches will change his mindset as a runner if he's the starter. More emphasis on sliding and running for the sidelines rather than him trying to maximize his limited opportunities like last year and lowering his shoulder into contact. He had a lot to prove last year and he's a competitive kid.

But I agree, that's probably why Pyne sticks around at least through '22 if Buchner is named starter. Once snap away for a mobile QB running a lot of option and RPO, that's not a long-shot for playing time.

No stairs on the field. He'll be fine.

I’ve sprained ankles many a times missing steps. Quite often after copious amounts of Jameson. He’s young and resilient, he’ll shake it off.

His "career" so far somewhat creeps me out. This post will get no likes, but I feel pushed to say: get ready for young Mister Pyne to be starting at QB, fellows. ( I don't myself think that that is catastrophic, but understand that everyone else does.)

What about his career worries you?
Drew Brees, for example, tore his ACL and was considered to be limited in capacity and did alright.

Lots of people are acting like Buchner is made of glass, but (and correct me if I'm wrong) he's gotten injured once in high school as a sophomore and that's it, right?

I agree. This is all an overreaction over a fricken scrimmage lol

They might be alluding to the ankle sprain against VT (was fine) and the hammy (precautionary time off, with a hot Coan to take the reps anyway).

None of those are concerns.

 

[NumbersGuy0520]

The injuries are data points, but the biggest concern for me is just how much of a wildcard he is - now no observable blue gold game reps, and last year he would rarely throw when substituted in - often these games were still in doubt at the time.

He could very well pan out and this could work in our advantage (OSU will have very limited film), but it’s also fair for some mild alarms to sound in our heads.

Freeman is 3D chess in’ tOSU here confirmed

Get Tyler some KneesOverToesGuy training for his lower body and he’ll be fine

Unless he can play corner against JSN I don’t think it really matters how well he plays.

Hahhahaha guess I got used to Velcro for toooo long !

Grade 3’s can last your entire life as far as permanent damage. Most people with a grade 3 will have diminished movement from the typical 45/25. Inside grade 3’s are brutal.
But Buchner did not have anything more then a twisted ankle. He was practicing the following Monday. We call that a “tweak,” when you feel pain but are perfectly fine the next day.

All 100% true ! Luckily (I guess) mine was outer

ND fans super excited to see TB play

I've rolled my ankle a million times where it hurts for a couple days. I would like him to play it is what it is.

I'm still on his bandwagon. Kid is an athlete and is capable of throwing the rock.

 

[Old Man Mike]

Numbersguy wrote my concerns. I wanted somehow somewhere somewhen to see Buchner on the field looking like a gunslinger in command. I haven't had any opportunity to see even a peek of that yet. Sure it MIGHT be all there ready to pour out like a flood, but I can't feel comfortable until I see that Grim Death Gunslinger grinning at the opponents.

And yes, I have seen little bits of that when Pyne had chances --- just like Book before everyone decided that maybe he wasn't so bad after all. Saw it in Kizer. Want to see it in Buchner.

I just have complete trust in Rees. He chose Buchner over JJ and like I said I just have trust in him.

He's the Smokin' Jay ND didn't pass on.

I might have missed it but what was up with the “In Wash We Trust” shirts?

Al Washingto. i believe he was head coach of blue team

Washington was head coach of blue. Rees' idea.

Good idea. What’s his idea for the QB/WR problem?

Play the starting QB when real games are happening is probably a good start lol
