isn't required. It just sells articles, T-shirts, and Heisman campaigns.
Don't get me wrong. It would be nice to have, but remember we have Brian Kelly so don't expect an elite QB anytime soon. We could use an upgrade and consistency at RB, OL, WR, CB and special teams and those are just the easy ones. QB depth, sure but our starter is just fine.
As much as people knock on last year's Michigan game that was easily as much terrible game planning and calling, as it was QB play. What team on earth throws it 30, 40+ times in a monsoon? Only a Brian Kelly team. Those stats prove why you don't do it.
The bad Clemson game? I'd say Clemson's D made Alabama - Tua & Hurts look worse than ND and Book looked. I'd say those two QBs are probably better than Book and they looked worse against the same D. All QBs and teams looked bad against Clemson in the playoffs that year but ND survived them much better than Ala regardless of the scores. The ND game was much closer.

- IMO your gripe on Book proves you just don't like him. ND needs all 4 of those things exponentially - oldirish - 11:56pm 6/5/20

- Fair point, but Notre Dame Isn't Bama - Frankie V - 4:34pm 6/8/20
- They aren't. The bigger question is do they really want to be? Alabama was pretty downtrodden - oldirish - 10:19pm 6/8/20

- Why is McKinley never as mentioned as a possible break out receiver - murph92675 - 10:17am 6/5/20
- It's more likely Kelly ignores his production when played and keeps him on the bench. [NT]

- You always claim anyone who does not see much playing time is Kelly’s fault - CC72 - 1:59pm 6/6/20
- To this point McKinley has done enough good to warrant more especially given the amount of weakness - oldirish - 9:03pm 6/14/20
- Well...Even if the McKinley practices his ass off BK determines who plays. This isn't the first case - Karamello - 2:31pm 6/6/20
