Drew Pyne: Rivals 4-star recruit and 7th-ranked pro-style QB in 2020 - MarkHarman - 7:47pm 9/30/22 (27) [View All]
- He's capable of getting us to top 10 contention - ndunabomber - 11:59am 10/1/22
  - Agreed. And the whole Buchner-Pyne debate had as an aspect of it the hope that Buchner's - tky21 - 10:24pm 10/1/22
  - Book's deep-ball accuracy was admittedly abysmal - MarkHarman - 12:50pm 10/1/22
    - On the other hand we saw Buchner last year could hit the deep ball but this year with little - THEISMANCARR - 11:33am 10/2/22
      - If you watch that play again - wrdomerson - 4:07pm 10/2/22
- Pyne seems capable of leading ND to a playoff berth where ND gets boat raced by Alabama, et. al. - Shadow_of_the_Dome - 8:17am 10/1/22
  - Exactly. In the Ian Book mold but I don't think he quite has the athleticism of Book. But a winner. [NT] - tky21 - 10:08pm 10/1/22
- Reminds me of Montana, when Joe was a Sophomore [NT] - DonMiller - 9:48pm 9/30/22
  - Joe is 66. That’s about right.:) [NT] - BaronVonZemo - 11:42pm 9/30/22
    - I gotta stop watching vintage Utube vids... - ripperduck - 11:05am 10/1/22
- He played like it against NC. [NT] - BaronVonZemo - 9:39pm 9/30/22
  - First time he's really had a shot. He will be pleasant surprise [NT] - ColeyO - 9:41pm 9/30/22
    - Hope so, but the running threat really has to be there for him to be successful. [NT] - BaronVonZemo - 11:12pm 9/30/22
- Why do about 10 guys on this board not like Pyne? That's my question. [NT] - oldirish - 9:32pm 9/30/22
  - I think “we” have used up our allotted amount of Pyne related posts. [NT] - GaSubwayIrish - 12:20pm 10/1/22
  - They can't stop needling him. Those guys are saps... [NT] - ripperduck - 11:07am 10/1/22
  - Most, if not all of Irish Nation want Drew to succeed. - ELP - 8:29am 10/1/22
    - all the more reason to have a QB that makes the TEAM better since few have THE flashy QB and there - oldirish - 9:45pm 10/1/22

      - Not sure about the vision. On the interception he threw in the Marshall game Tyree was open on the - THEISMANCARR - 12:55pm 10/2/22
      - While it does apply that all QBs need help to be successful, some have more height, size, speed, arm - tky21 - 10:04pm 10/1/22
        Very good response. There are very few QBs that can win a national championship by themselves. Even - THEISMANCARR - 1:01pm 10/2/22

Do you think Pyne triggers in Rees self-loathing? Rees/Crist = Pyne/Buchner - LanceManion - 9:01am 9/30/22 (34) [View All]
- Agreed. Rees seemingly is a carryover of all of Brian Kelly's QB faults. He's made the same mistakes [NT] - oldirish - 2:00pm 9/30/22
- Would Rees have adapted his play calling? - GaSubwayIrish - 10:27am 9/30/22
  - He showed no tendency in that direction through the game when Buchner was hurt. Seems like no. - LanceManion - 11:18am 9/30/22
    - I agree 100% with this. it was frustrating to watch. [NT] - GaSubwayIrish - 11:39am 9/30/22
- The idea that Pyne is clear cut better than Buchner is silly - NDNEIL - 10:11am 9/30/22
  - Pyne's QB rating for two starts is 165.6, placing him 10th over the entire season last year - MarkHarman - 7:39pm 9/30/22
  - I'm not touting Buchner as the be all, end all, but at this point we're comparing apples and oranges - D2 - 3:18pm 9/30/22
    - Agree, but haters gotta hate. Neither of them have particularly impressed me. - Frank L - 5:20pm 10/2/22
    - Lots of its and buts in that post [NT] - ColeyO - 10:59pm 9/30/22
    - Better??? Marshall lost to Troy and Bowling Green and our O turned around. Can you explain this? [NT] - oldirish - 9:29pm 9/30/22

    - I don't see why it's silly. Both are average or less compared to other QBs in college football - NDQuebec - 1:13pm 9/30/22
      - The stats and the eye test aren't with equal variables - NDNEIL - 4:45pm 9/30/22
      - Check out the facts about how a passing QB can make an OL better. Nice! [NT] - GaSubwayIrish - 1:48pm 9/30/22
  - Objectively better? Who knows? Better for the ND offense given the talent and OC? Yes. [NT] - LanceManion - 11:47am 9/30/22
    - Not enough data to make that conclusion [NT] - NDNEIL - 4:36pm 9/30/22

      - Please don’t tell me you’re comparing Buchner to Josh Allen - WoodstockIrish - 7:35am 10/1/22
        No, I'm pointing out the absurdity of pointing to a better completion% - NDNEIL - 8:34am 10/1/22
      - Allen was a far superior runner and a big arm. Vast difference. [NT] - oldirish - 9:34pm 9/30/22
        Dat was da point boi [NT] - NDNEIL - 8:35am 10/1/22
    - undeniable fact [NT] - GaSubwayIrish - 11:53am 9/30/22
  - It’s 0-2 vs 2-0. Wins and losses do matter. - GaSubwayIrish - 10:37am 9/30/22
    - Sample sizes and strength of opponent matter as well - NDNEIL - 4:14pm 9/30/22
      - Go check who Marshall lost to. Dat is a data point. [NT] - oldirish - 9:45pm 9/30/22

  - This is silly. [NT] - GaSubwayIrish - 9:59pm 9/29/22
    - It is a fitting analogy. A high percentage of short shots does not make an individual an amazing - tky21 - 12:25pm 9/30/22
      - Not to mention ... teams fouled Shaq on purpose to force him to shoot the ball ... - GaSubwayIrish - 1:56pm 9/30/22
      - His dunks actually make this number. Dunks == hand offs (not a passing play). Still silly [NT] - GaSubwayIrish - 1:54pm 9/30/22
      - And the rim isn't moving when you shoot the ball. [NT] - GaSubwayIrish - 1:50pm 9/30/22
- I think the more relevant question is whether Pyne is precise. [NT] - LanceManion - 4:23pm 9/29/22
  - Interesting choice since the definition includes accuracy and I'd interpret "exactness" to mean - oldirish - 9:38pm 9/29/22

      - Comparing Pyne to Tebow is apples to oranges ... Buchner to Tebow though? - GaSubwayIrish - 10:47am 9/29/22
      - Tebow won A LOT... and was super inaccurate. It's called leadership. It's 9 tenths of the battle. [NT] - oldirish - 10:21am 9/29/22

        55% passing versus 70% passing. Makes a defense change a little. [NT] - GaSubwayIrish - 9:07pm 9/26/22
        Pyne's downfield passing isn't scaring anybody. The OL is getting better and better. Rees calling - tky21 - 10:07pm 9/26/22
