performance there was no reason to go to the portal for a QB. Especially considering the depth and numbers we had at that position coming into 2024.

All you were doing was offering the potential to see a negaitive situation arise (like we are experiencing). Worst case, Angeli floundered and Minchey nor Carr could handle it either. Angeli based on the limited time looks plenty ready. Minchey seems to have high ceiling skills but isn't ready based on his Spring performance. Carr looks like he may be the best of the three but I think ND is in the window where they need to win now and starting Carr would have been as big a risk as RL being a bust, so it would have been opton two or a toss up for going to the portal or letting him start.

Either way. Freeman and Co. badly missed this opportunity TWICE (Hartman/RL) to build a real depth chart that could carry ND for 6+ years a the QB position. Pyne 1-2yrs, Angeli 2-3yrs, followed by Carr 2-3 years, followed by next recruit etc.
