SI is permanently broke down...

It went from being a very good sports news site, to a POS
I remember back when it was still CNN / SI, and they had an excellent website, chock full of details that were very easy to navigate.
They even had their own news channel on TV for a while, and they had a pretty good crew of reporters. Believe it or not, I actually think Keith Olbermann (back in those days) was a decent sports reporter.
Now, it's an utter piece of garbage.
it's like entertainers who decide to become political mouthpieces never to be heard from again. ESPN
and SI both invited in a bunch of political views and it sunk them.
It's a blog website now

Re: Looks like a weak arm .
Decisiveness and accuracy can bridge the gap of any type of arm strength.

Should I put you down as the Irish wining the NC next year?

My point is having a strong arm QB is not necessarily a "be all" to a successful QB at any level....

I concur, but Kelly's offense requires a stronger arm. Recall the only QB who really has excelled
in his offense is Kizer.
To counter your argument Book has a weak arm and he's the winningest QB in our program's history no?
(no message)
so he's the best ND's ever had? I like Book. Like Rees, he maximized his playing talent, but he
has one win against a top 10 team and, for the most part, regressed while at ND. I'll give him his wins, but if you're happy with 10 win seasons that consistently include not just defeats but blowouts to higher ranked teams, we'll have to agree to disagree.
God no not by a long shot. Just you said Kelly's O requires a strong arm yet Book thrived w/o one.
Thrived is generous...
thrived is very generous. Book's best attribute was not fucking up followed by being able to scramb
le for yards. That hardly makes one special.
Book regressed from a guy w/one other Power 5 offer to #9 in the Heisman race? Sure.
Nonsense.

You don't think he thew the ball better two years ago? Hell, benching was a real probability
up until the Va Tech game last year. Whether he regressed because of coaching and play calling is open for debate, but I think his 2018 campaign was his best.
I agree he did, but I think he also had better receivers back then too

We just watched 3 years of that with book. Great!

I read where he was dubbed “ a good commander for the ground game”.

I hope he can run and has escapability. It’s almost a requirement now.

“ not a great athlete, lack of foot quickness, limited with some of the tougher throws, especially
the far hash or deep out throws, he doesn't see his backside as well as he sees what is happening in front of him and to his throwing arm side.“ perfect for Big Games tutelage....
Yuck

Re: “ not a great athlete, lack of foot quickness, limited with some of the tougher throws, especially
Interesting comments about a guy who has ran a 4.21 and 4.35 shuttle the former being the fastest ever for a QB during testing and a 4.73 40...Not bad
He does not scramble/run. I read he had 22yds rushing 2 yrs ago.

He had a 25 yard TD run against MIchigan in 2019.
He can run a little.
Ah! Understood. Thanks to you

So same arm, less mobility and less experience. Hopefully frosh is the real deal or
Pyne has a lot more than the little bit that we have seen.
I will say that our incoming WR’s Will be a big upgrade.
This is my fear. But I'll wait and see.

Frosh hoping the same!

Less experience?
He has more experience then the rest of the ND QB's combined. Not a surprise, given Kelly's track record of sitting backups, even in the rare blowout.
He started an entire season (2019), started in the B10 Title Game (2019), and started in the Rose Bowl.
I was referring to less experience than Book, who as good as he was, wasn't enough against the top 3
My point was that we are in for a downgrade at QB with this guy (who is still a very good and valuable acquisition). And my other point is that with a better QB, we still didn't have enough yet.
We need a guy with an arm and who is mobile. They are rare, but this is ND, and we should be able to find one. We can't win it all with a game manager - Book was as good of a manager as your ever going to see in college, but that isn't what is bringing home the trophy these days.
Agreed.
With Coan at least we have a QB who won't shit his pants at FSU next September.
Hopefully Buchner is the golden goose we need at QB. Kelly has failed at that for over a decade, for one reason or another.
Wait are you being negative baron? Guys he’s a Michigan troll!

Buchner or bust.

If anyone is expect the Zone Read, don't think it's happening. Will be a team leader/coach in 2021.
