Kind of a dumb statement. So you are completely satisfied with progress leading up to today?
The problem with statements and thinking in this line is they are either high or low based on whatever the score ends up being at the end of each Saturday. They are not objective or honest and do not tend to lead to assess whether or not meaningful progress is being made.

This week he won a game he should have won. Last week he lost a game he should have won.
Why so excited. He crushed a bad team

It’s all fine to whoop Purdue, and I’m happy, but can we win a playoff game with RL at QB?

Easy explanation
Sometimes your team doesn’t show up. It happens. That’s when you need a coach who knows what buttons to push and Freeman doesn’t know hi to do that. Throwing a few chairs at halftime, sitting all the starters for one series - anything. But he did absolutely nothing . Deer in the headlights

I agree with this but was looking for an explanation on how RL was playoff worthy.

Nope, just played on teams that couldn't get energy, no matter what our coaches
did or said. If only we had had your motivational "you guys suck" genius, we could have snapped into better form. Losses we probably wouldn't have suffered if we'd only had your motivational genius on our side.

Too bad you never had a good coach.
When they didn’t show up. Motivating my teams was never a problem I had

Sucks, but the QB wasn't the only problem.
ND had a lot of players that just didn't bring it the way you have to. Really sucks, but that's what happened.

Level 5
Disagree
The loss to Northern Illinois was entirely on the QB. Maybe a little on Freeman for not benching the QB.

100% true. Any coach worth his salt would have made a switch. Regardless of what that means for
future weeks, it shows a) you have command of your team b) you have situational awareness c) you understand what your team needs.

Watch the film, that was a team loss. RL made some excellent reads and throws.
Could RL have played a lot better.... oh yeah, But there were a lot of players that could have played much better and made a big difference, especially on D.
It's a team sport. Throw the QB under the bus if it makes you feel better, but there were other players with C's on their jersey that didn't play well at all.
Blaming the QB for everything is easy and sophomoric, watch the film.

Agree RL made some good throws on sideline outs which require arm strength but disagree Angeli
should have been brought in when he was struggling, he could always be reiinserted. The play calling on the interception drive was hideous even though he completed some tough passes. So a lot on Denbrock too.

Unfortunately we have seen this before. When the QB is one dimensional you lose games you shouldn’t.
It is first a reflection on the QB.
Not removing him is a reflection on the coaches.
None of that changes the fact that he isn’t a playoff caliber QB and that’s the point of playing the season. Win a championship.

Level 6
You mean like Tony Rice, Tommy Frazier, Tim Tebow? Those kinda guys?
Great defense and a strong running game covers up a lot of faults.
-
Level 7
Let’s chat about modern football not the olden days. Tebow might be fair comparison but
also a generational college football player.
We’ve been hearing about how a strong running game and a lock down defense will win championships but ND has had both yet not championships. Go figure. Modern football isn’t played one dimensionally. Ask the service academies.
Tim Tebow threw the ball for approx 3000 three seasons in a row.
You can’t win with 3 yards and a cloud of dust anymore.

Level 8
Olden days? You mean like Georgia and Michigan?
Neither of them had NFL QB's, slinging it around to win their titles. Controlling the line of scrimmage is imperative, not a QB that slings it all over the yard.

Level 10
Sure they are, but that's not how their respective teams won.
Control the line of scrimmage, run the ball, play great D.
BTW, Beck hasn't led his team to a championship, he's just a talent that the media has anointed "the best". Texas A&M's QB was in that conversation until ND got a hold of him. He may be awesome, but no one will know until someone pressures him like ND pressured Weigman.

Level 11
You are correct about Michigan in the championship game but …
Stetson went for 304 and 4 TDs in his championship.
JJ threw for nearly 3000 yards and 20+ TDs to get to the championship.
