Dayne Crist Asks To Transfer

[SLCIRISH]

He got treated like a red headed step child, BK should of been honest from the start and he would of transfered last season. Now only the Great Chow can fix him.

I am a Ute fan wondering whether or not I should be wanting Crist to come here for one season. I would certainly love to have him here for depth, but I doubt he wants to transfer to Utah to be a backup.

Would you, as Notre Dame fans, like to have him back as a starter for one more year? What are his biggest strengths and weaknesses? Do you think he would perform better in Utah's pro-style offense than he did in Notre Dame's spread?

his time at ND is over. he is a first-class kid, and i would love to see him start next season. i'm hoping a change of environment will free him of whatever demons that possessed him on the field at ND. best of luck to DC!

His biggest strengths are his arm strength and the impact having such a quality kid in the locker room has on a program. He also has pretty good pocket presence and escapability.

His biggest weakness is touch. At ND, he also tended to be a little streaky, and his throws tended to be less and less accurate as things went worse. Also, he needs receivers with really good hands, as his passes come in hot. He had a lot of balls dropped on him at ND because guys weren't ready for the fastball.

Anywhere he goes, it should be with the chance to be a starting QB. He already has a degree from ND, this is an audition for him to get to the next level. He certainly has the skill set, he just needs to settle in and develop some confidence. Personally, I think Wisconsin is- by far- the best fit, but that's just my opinion.

Crist has a big arm and escapability, but he has almost zero touch and very little accuracy. He couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. Yeah, it's that bad. He's got the arm to throw downfield, but he can never put enough touch on it to make the ball catchable. He also struggles with maintaining composure in the game as he consistently throws balls into the dirt on easy throws. He also gets down on himself very easily when he makes mistakes. Finally, he has a tendency to fumble or be involved in a play in which a fumble takes place on the 2 yard line and is returned 80+ yards for a touchdown.

After watching him over the years, he never really improved in any of these weak facets of his game. At least he's getting his degree, and I wish him the best.

USC?

USC?

There was a thread on this on one of their boards and they universally said thanks but no thanks. Why would they want a player that can't even start at another school ahead of Tommy Rees? I can't say I blame that logic, even if I do think their back-ups either are too young/inexperienced or just not very good yet. Then again, they might be all-world - nobody has seen them play against another team yet. (I've seen all 3 play live and I was unimpressed with Scroggins and Wittek. Kessler doesn't have a strong arm but he is savvy and I think he will win the job next year on savvy/moxie alone. Wittek has the bigger arm and I think he projects the best of the 3 long-term. Not impressed with Scroggins at all.)

Which is why he was 8 for 9 on the last 9 throws of his ND career (read: every game he played in after USF).

Does seem to get down on himself though, I'll give you that.

I'd like to see Tommy make it half way to that barn...

Really look at that whole 1st half vs USF the team got dayne in the dog house... I met Dayne and his mom the guy was everything a ND man should be.. I wish ND treated him better.. Dayne hit T.J. for a TD on his numbers and he dropped it then Jonas fumbled.. If T.J. makes that catch we may have seen dayne all yr...

Yeah that was a spectacular play, I'll give you that. But that was one completion out of many incompletes on a downfield throw like that, and Michigan had a horrible defense remember. We also lost that game because Dayne is also injury prone.

You can't blame receivers or other players for screwing up that buried Dayne on the depth chart.. When it comes down to it, it's all on the quarterback. I can understand if he was hitting guys' hands on every pass and it was dropped, but that wasn't the case in the USF game. Crist made some really bad throws and poor decisions, mistakes that senior in his 2nd year of starting shouldn't be making.

Are we still debating this issue? Really?

I hope he goes to Wisconsin and is Russel Wilson 2.0...Dominate the B1G.

Easy there ****!

 

[frankygoes69]

**** = ****

 

[Jason Pham]

Have you?

No, you're right. I mistakenly thought that you were the one that made that senseless comment about-



Wait, no, I was right the first time.

 

[frankygoes69]

Dayne did beat out TR... And then?

 

[Andy in Sactown]

Anyone want to give an over/under on DickDomer's post count when he earns a ban? Dude seems like a 5.

Was looking like he might be gone by his third post, but his third post was merely deleted. The mods are feeling merciful today.

I'll put the O/U at 10 and take the under.

 

[frankygoes69]

Nice save D!ck!

 

[Andy in Sactown]

Might sound mean but I just don't care where he goes. This team needs mentally strong players who handle the wrath of BK. Just injury prone and not mentally strong.

Why post in his thread if you are so irreverent about Dayne? Read like verbal diarrhea.

Side note: I'm not taking that bet whiskey; I was thinking 10+/- and also wanted to take the under. I guess I could price is right it...

He's gone. His time is done. You do what good by trashing on him? It's not that it's mean, it's painfully pointless.

Great, to you he's a number on a roster. But for the rest of us, he's a classmate, he's a teammate, he's a student, and he's a class act who represented Notre Dame well off the field. For those reasons, we root for the kid to do well wherever he ends up.

Jason could you please ban this guy?

 

[frankygoes69]

Again, good luck Dayne. Crush it where ever you go, brotha. I know we will all be cheering for you.

 

[UmphreakDomer]

could end up with CW at kansas

 

[frankygoes69]

That might be the move of all moves for him. Strategic move by CW to get DC to run his O on the field. What?

 

[aubeirish]

No doubt Kansas should be the no1 destination as of today. Dayne could provide a smooth transition to the pro style offense for the other QBs.
