IMO your gripe on Book proves you just don't like him. ND needs all 4 of those things exponentially

more than they need Book to "take a big step forward". This team is probably an 8-4 team the last few years without Book. Is he perfect? Heck no. But the 4 areas ESPN mentioned are needed a heck of a lot more than we need Book to "improve". So, even if they did just "look at the stat sheet and depth chart" their analysis was more accurate than what I read. Admittedly, I did not watch the show but the angle you started within the Book point seems very slanted.

Again, you guys rely on the savior mentality and seem to give little support to the idea that it's a team game.
