This is a bit late and old but I’m sure that everyone heard about three coaches from the previous group, stated that ND qb room has no talent. The three were named but it was actually more than the three with those same thoughts but those three were seriously disliked.
Also, TB was not the qb of want but more of swing and misses with TB still interested in coming to ND. It was told to me by several, TB was the worse of three during Spring ball but bk made promises to Coan and TB. It’s been stated that TB is Reed’ guy…well, in the Fiesta Bowl, Rees ran the offense, throw the 68x without a running game and no TB? And lastly, it was stated that TB will transfer before his 4yrs are up because of his skills. He’s a dynamic runner whom would be perfect for a Flex-Bone or wildcat offense.

Question, name the last CFB team to win the championship with a run first qb after Florida…!!!

If he’s the starter at ND, I’ll cheer for him and ND to win. I’ll keep in my mind…”Dante’s coming…Dante’s coming…”

For the record, Tate is still not leaning ND but it might change. A phone call from Coach Rees and Coach Freeman held off an OSU commitment
Ha ha, I love how shit gets spun in every direction when it's convenient to spin the shit.
And the purpose of this post is?
To show that dogs do not have souls and there is never hope to be reunited with them after death. It seems there's a 50/50 chance it's the same for humans. We live in an indifferent universe

The Wr, OL and head coach
But you said it was more than those 3 as well. And who did all these coaches tell that they thought the QB room had no talent?

No idea why you said all this about the QB and former coaches in response to a post about HH...from December 2nd either.

You may be correct about your posts, but multiple parts of it make zero sense.

This is a juicy one.

Interesting stuff since that recruitment seemed to be very much a TB top of board guy, especially with how things played out with McCarthy on this board.

Also, these coaches should have expected an early enrollee who didn’t play his senior year to be worse than Coan and Pyne in spring ball…

Lot riding on how TB looks this spring.

But I bet he's calmer than you are.

If I know Whiskey he's been calmly shooting dirty looks at the "putting down a dog" thread all day. I bet he's typed and deleted at least three responses where he impishly tries to find out how many hypothetical unborn children this dog's resources could have been funneled to.

I quite literally saw the post at the top of IE this morning, sighed, and thought "So that's what we're going to do today? Fight?"

Miss my dog, but I know I will not see him in heaven (or hell). No rumor there!

My grandmother was devout, and said the church was wrong on dogs. 🤷‍♂️

If I make it to Heaven (lots of work to do), I envision seeing all my former pets. I like grandma’s thoughts.

Where are we in this thread again? Oh yeah, let’s fucking go TB12. I’m all in, dude is an animal.

TB looked like the best QB during the spring game and also he already showed talent in the minutes he played as a freshman. He made quite a few good passes. He was about as good as a guy who had hardly played through HS could look.

TB12 seems to have great physical tools but who knows where the mental side of his game is.
at. Obviously he wasn’t too advanced judging by what they had him do last year. I’m preparing myself for Pyne in Columbus.

Same. With TB sprinkled in.

TB clearly has talent. I can’t anyone seriously that doesn’t think so. He was on the road at VT, in a tough environment, down 10 with 9 minutes before half, and led the team on two scoring drives with a couple of great passes mixed in there.

I think there is a lot of growth needed to reach the heights we all want him too. But you don’t suck if you can do the above. Along with a host of other truly special plays he made this season. His wheel route TD pass to Tyree is not a throw that any of Coan, Book, or Pyne make.

We’ll see if Rees can get that from him more frequently.

If TB can throw let him do it,… if they’re gonna handcuff him then just go with someone else. I’m tired of the ‘running’ qbs at ND apparently only having like three designs. If we all know what’s coming at home so does the opposing DC…

Okay I’m officially vented

I am not fully sold on TB12 yet and I don't want to write off DP10 yet. TB can have the better recruiting rankings, but I like what I've seen of Pyne so far.

ND nation would crap their pants if Pyne beat out Buchner.

NGL, I wouldn't be thrilled about it either. Nothing against Pyne, but ND needs a guy with a higher ceiling if they want to get to the next level.

Pyne would be giving us pretty much what Book gave us. I think Pyne is more mechanically advanced as a thrower compared to Book and has more arm strength, but he's not quite as mobile as Book. Problem is that Pyne just appears to be good at a lot of things, but not particularly elite. He has a good, not great arm. He has good, not great mobility. We need great. Very rarely does a team get by in a playoff setting with just good QB play.

Georgia and Alabama seem to be the only real exception, but they can get away with less than great QB talent, because their teams are often stacked with elite talent everywhere else. Our roster isn't there yet.

Buchner may not have been as far along as Pyne, but it's clear as day his ceiling is much higher, and it's a ceiling that we need to be a legitimate threat in a playoff scenario. Pyne could very well get us to 10 wins, maybe even get us in the playoff, but he's not likely getting us past Alabama or Georgia or Ohio State.

I don’t think there is any chance Pyne beats out Buchner tbh. I think it’s more likely he ends up third string than first string.

He’d have started last year if that was the case. Drastically sells Book short.
Book has zero pocket awareness. It's just not something he was born with or improved, it only got worse. His game with the Saints was possibly the worst QB play we've seen.

I think Pyne could absolutely be better. Would I bet on it? No, but Book had issues Pyne might not have.

Your point against the winningest QB in ND history being his performance for the Saints is interesting haha. I’m not gonna act like Book was Peyton Manning but we’re calling a guy the staff potentially doesn’t even trust to be the backup as pretty much comparable to him? Nah.

He got worse with pocket presence as his career went on. He's been playing football for 8 years out of HS now and he still runs 7 yards out of bounds rather than throw the ball away. Some people just don't have a feel for the game.

Coaches end up being wrong all the time about QBs. Look at Brees/Rivers, Tom Brady needing an injury, hell Cardale Jones over #16 who held that offense back (pains me I can't recall his name, captain, repeat starter).

Similarly to Book vs Wimbush. Its Buch’s job to lose because, like Wimbush, he has the highest ceiling. If/When it becomes apparent he’s not going to get there. Then it goes to the best QB.

But, you have to give the guy with the ceiling the chance to get there. 2022 has to be that year for Buch.
