He’s not even a typical dual-threat quarterback. Buchner connects on throws that most don’t dare to attempt.

Buchner will complete passes 40 yards downfield off his back foot. He will throw across his body while on the run. He will change his throwing motion or release the ball from an angle to squeeze it through a tight window.

“He can make any throw off platform and make it work,” said Taylor Kelly, the former Arizona State quarterback who trains Buchner at 3DQB. “He is so talented and strong."

Kelly started working with Buchner last year. He needed to train him differently than most high school quarterbacks. Buchner represented the opposite of the norm. Difficult throws were easy. Simpler throws could be challenging.

"One would be sweet, and two or three would be low, high, wouldn’t spin and all of those things," Kelly said about Buchner's struggles with easier throws. "He wouldn’t know what was wrong, whether it was his weight being forward, or ripping his front side, or his posture was bad, or his feet were too slow. We challenged him to be more consistent when asked upon just to throw a rhythm out route.”

Man, I hope they just let this kid play like he knows how. Look at Mahomes. Could you imagine if someone tried to cage him? He'd go from (arguably) the most exciting talent in the NFL to a clipboard holder. I'm not saying don't coach him up at all, I'm just saying don't try to change his stripes.

I am happy to get this player-position outlook, but our RB situation is the least mysterious on our team. I really hope that they put out more question-filled outlooks soon, so that I could actually learn something that we didn't already know.

... not intended as a burn, but as a note of encouragement to send other outlooks soon. I meant what I said. I appreciate that ISD is doing this now. (Not everyone on this board is an a$$hole.)

according to Hansen in today's SBT all 14 spring practices will be closed to the media. This really pisses me off. Probably using COVID as an excuse which is really bogus. A half dozen guys in masks sitting in the bleachers watching practice is not much of a risk. The fans lose. They subscribe to "insider" websites who have little or no info the average fan doesn't.

I totally understand the frustration. But somehow, I have a feeling that this could mean the team wants nothing getting out as they install new schemes and have the internal battles at key positions. Having the players 100% locked in, without outside influences giving their "takes" on 3 passes, catches, reps, etc. might be something positive.

I know I'm in the minority, but I'm pretty meh that it's closed.

After years of spring games and practices, the only thing that happens, is folks squirt all over a few vids and reports over a few weeks that are often just garnish from the pay sites.

I believe I read BK (and 4 players) will do a presser Saturday, and Rees, Polian, Freeman, and Elston will do other pressers during the week. If ND is smart, they'll drop some highlight vids here and there.

I anxiously await the opportunity to salivate over a 10-yard curl thrown by a freshman QB that's not even wearing pads.

At least it’s a step up from salivating over a high school sophomore throwing the same said pass in a 7 v 7 competition.

I'm with you. Spring is when everyone looks like an All American and we're winning a natty. Then someone drops a pass or gets beat on a route and everyone wonders how they even made the roster. lol
