It had to do with how everyone felt about the game. It helped add onto the negative state of mind. Same with the muffed punt. He had two bad misses on the FG drive that everyone saw. Third drive ends up starting at the 6 yard line because of the block in the back. I do think he made a bad read when he kept the ball instead of giving it to Williams, who looked like he could have run for a long time. Then Love lost 3 yards, and my least favorite choice of having specific 3rd down backs happens and Ford goes nowhere, they punt. At this point, yes, the offense is not moving, but blaming every single thing the offense does wrong on "Leonard can't pass and needs to be pulled" is pretty lazy overall. It's a team game, but according to you, everyone else did everything perfectly, it's just that Leonard sucks and needs to be benched. I'm sure that's not biased at all. Maybe it was Leonard's fault Pendleton had a bad game as well.
I would be fine with a 2 QB system where Leonard is the red zone QB.
I didn't expect ND to win a championship this year, but I would love a playoff run.
I do believe that I recall some of your posts about QBR rating and whatnot. I don't actually remember all the specifics so I'll follow your link and give you my thoughts later.
To be clear, I am not against Angeli starting, but you are acting like the limited action that we have seen, with no information on how practice has been going, means he is the player that gives ND the best chance to win. To be blunt, you really have no idea at all. To act like you do and call it an objective truth, and also say Freeman is willfully ignorant, is quite possibly the most arrogant stance I have ever heard. Have you watched the all 22? Have you broken down each play, know what the call was, know what the defense was running, know what the play reads based on the coverage were? Do you know if it was a half field read? Do you know if the line missed a blocking assignment? Do you know if the receivers and backs ran the correct route, sat down in the correct spot in the zone, or anything else?
My guess is no. But hey, you watched a play and saw some people open, so you know better.
I am not a fan of using the transfer portal for QBs, and I didn't think they needed one this year. I would have been fine rolling with Angeli. The coaches weren't. Are they infallible? No. Do they know the players much better than I do? Yes. Do they know football much better than me? Yes. All that means that I can have my opinion, but it doesn't mean I'm right. You could be right, but again, calling it objective truth when it is an opinion is not accurate.
