Completed 68% with 28 TDS and only 4 Ints. The team lost as a team and was the product of a bad HC.

Someone wake me up when ND gets a top tier QB? A little more talented than Tommy and Ian - PBHangingChad - 7:26pm 5/26/19 (67) [View All]
- PB I generally like what you have to say but I think with a little luck, Book has enough to - THEISMANCARR - 8:26am 5/29/19
  - I like Book a lot, he earned the starting position clearly. Whether he wins a NC won’t be his fault. - PBHangingChad - 9:36am 5/29/19
- Why didn't you live up to your high school poster ranking? - 565 Zahm Hall - 9:02pm 5/28/19
  - Hah! So true, big heart, little talent. [NT] - THEISMANCARR - 8:22am 5/29/19
  - ^^^^^^ Well done ^^^^^ [NT] - Irish_Demon - 10:50pm 5/28/19
- So you sleep in the communal bed with the other posters on this board. Brave man. [NT] - BaronVonZemo - 5:50pm 5/28/19
  - Never, I have been accused of being inhospitable to certain posters. Don’t know why? [NT] - PBHangingChad - 5:55pm 5/28/19
- If nothing else you instigated quite a few replies! [NT] - whatsamataU - 5:29pm 5/28/19
  - What else did he toss this grenade for? He pipes the tune, they do the dance. [NT] - murph78 - 6:55pm 5/28/19
  - Imagine that, who would have thought. [NT] - PBHangingChad - 5:49pm 5/28/19
- Seems I hurt some feelings about QB play. Scoring only 3 points I was foolish to blame the QB - PBHangingChad - 4:36pm 5/28/19
- Ever think of becoming a volunteer recruiter? [NT] - OHIrish - 4:26pm 5/28/19
- I think Ian Book is tremendously talented. Very accurate, very athletic and very smart. Makes plays - THEISMANCARR - 11:16am 5/28/19
  - Complete Agreeance [NT] - ColeyO - 2:42pm 5/28/19
    - Book's heighth worried me. But he took all doubt away immediately [NT] - OHIrish - 4:24pm 5/28/19
- The off-season always seems to bring out the morons [NT] - Nigel Tufnel - 11:38pm 5/27/19
- what an idiot [NT] - DonMiller - 10:45pm 5/27/19
- Re: Someone wake me up when ND gets a top tier QB? A little more talented than Tommy and Ian - jonpaultoo - 5:29pm 5/27/19
  - At this point, Brian Kelly has proven to be a top tier coach - ndunabomber - 12:19pm 5/28/19
  - You are wrong too. Two undefeated regular seasons in this day and age should tell you so. Clemson, - THEISMANCARR - 11:19am 5/28/19
- Like Brady, Jimmy or DeShone ? [NT] - ND521 - 11:39pm 5/26/19
  - Liked all three but how many NC games did they play in? And what NFL team as QB? - PBHangingChad - 11:44pm 5/26/19
    - I say it all the time and I'll say it again: the dumbest argument in sports. - MAS - 1:40pm 5/27/19
      - Except the QB is the most critical position on the team. It can cover up a lot of weakness [NT] - PBHangingChad - 5:13pm 5/27/19
        A lot, not all [NT] - NDNEIL - 7:17pm 5/27/19
    - Jake Coker, Cardale, McCarron 2x, McElroy, Tebow, Matt Flynn & Chris Leak really lit up on Sundays [NT] - ND521 - 1:17am 5/27/19
      - Had Trump decided to play football he would have been the best QB ever! [NT] - PBHangingChad - 1:20am 5/27/19
        Obese people with bone spurs are usually at a disadvantage in sports. [NT] - Rooster - 10:58am 5/28/19
        
        Your football posts are a study in the Dunning-Kruger effect. [NT] - ND521 - 1:22am 5/27/19
        Funny, you’re much better over at the Open you are almost cogent, barely [NT] - PBHangingChad - 1:26am 5/27/19
        C'mon, wear your Chaminade (HI) JV hoops windbreaker with pride. [NT] - ND521 - 1:30am 5/27/19
        Do you write this shit down? All I know is you don’t like Palm Beach and Porsche’s. Move on man. [NT] - PBHangingChad - 1:37am 5/27/19
        Says the one who remembers I traded a Porsche for the early Tesla ? [NT] - ND521 - 1:44am 5/27/19
    - All three played in the NFL. - Napoleon - 1:11am 5/27/19
      - You are right. It’s always a diamond in the rough. Would be nice to hit one out of the rough. [NT] - PBHangingChad - 1:23am 5/27/19
        Not what I said. - Napoleon - 9:51am 5/27/19
        
        Clausen was the consensus #1 HS QB in the country; top ranked overall player on some services. [NT] - ND521 - 1:40am 5/27/19
        He had no OL. Willingham left Weiss 1 offensive lineman in 2 classes. [NT] - NedoftheHill - 11:05am 5/30/19
        
        Most overrated QB ever at ND, simply put, didnt win [NT] - cubsfanin16 - 2:47pm 5/27/19
        Wrong. Simply put, he was, at ND, the best Qb since the turn of the century. [NT] - NDQuebec - 7:24am 5/29/19
        
        Disappointing career. Didn’t live up to lofty expectations. But his JR year was excellent. - Napoleon - 5:09pm 5/27/19
        Bad head coach for sure, maybe I put too much blame on JC, BUT - cubsfanin16 - 8:59pm 5/27/19
        He threw for 450 yards against Navy while the team rushed for 60 yards. - Napoleon - 10:28pm 5/27/19
        
        Charlie's D did give up 40+ to service academies... [NT] - ND521 - 4:15pm 5/27/19
- Nah I’ll let you sleep [NT] - Rocket91 - 10:59pm 5/26/19
  - Exactly. Who is this d*ck anyway... [NT] - Jerseymick - 8:20am 5/27/19
- what`s wrong with that other guy? the freshman whom everyone thought was going to start last year? [NT] - bakedogg - 9:58pm 5/26/19
  - He’s a stud but has only been in the system for two years and doesn’t work with the first string - PBHangingChad - 11:00pm 5/26/19
    - Jurkovec has been at ND less than a year. - Napoleon - 11:12pm 5/26/19
      - I’m sorry he had an entire season, spring ball, coaching, etc. my mistake. He needs at least another - PBHangingChad - 11:18pm 5/26/19
        We’ll see. - Napoleon - 11:27pm 5/26/19
        I fully understand but there wasn’t any doubt with Tua or Lawrence was there? [NT] - PBHangingChad - 11:41pm 5/26/19
        Again, those two guys aren’t the norm. Both are exceptional. - Napoleon - 12:34am 5/27/19
        Point of reference: the top 2 rated 5* QBs from the class of 2017 didn’t start as freshmen or sophs. - Napoleon - 12:56am 5/27/19
  - Phil Jurkovec? He's fine. Ian Book is the starter this year. PJ will start in 2020... - Domer From Hell - 10:10pm 5/26/19
    - I seem to remember Freshman at Bama and UGA coming off the bench with no problem - PBHangingChad - 10:43pm 5/26/19
      - Those guys at at Bama and Clemson are exceptional. And Tua was the backup his entire Frosh season - Napoleon - 11:09pm 5/26/19
        I hope you are right, nothing would make me happier. But the last 20 years, really? Not one. [NT] - PBHangingChad - 11:16pm 5/26/19
        happier??? You mean you get happier than you are now? [NT] - Hank the Tank - 11:24pm 5/26/19
        Hank I’m only happier when I’m on “The Open” driving them nuts. But ND football makes me happy and - PBHangingChad - 11:37pm 5/26/19
        
        Hope I’m right about what? - Napoleon - 11:21pm 5/26/19
        You said ND had two top 10 QB’s for ‘20 and ‘21. I hope your right. But let’s call - PBHangingChad - 11:31pm 5/26/19
        I was just passing along rankings, per 247. - Napoleon - 12:24am 5/27/19
- Book isn't a top tier QB?... - Domer From Hell - 8:59pm 5/26/19
  - Do you think Book will play on Sundays? - WoodstockIrish - 2:01pm 6/6/19
  - Keep hope alive, How did the last ten years fare with top tier QB’s? - PBHangingChad - 10:41pm 5/26/19
- Re: Someone wake me up when ND gets a top tier QB? A little more talented than Tommy and Ian - Irishize - 8:02pm 5/26/19
