Steve Angeli thanked all in his sign off -including his coaches who chose others- ND man
I don’t think that I have ever seen that from a player leaving in his situation. So impressive.

Best of luck to him - but he was a big loss
There will be a point this upcoming season where we wish he were on the team.
It always hurts to lose a quality QB, starter or backup
One need only look at 2002 to see what happens when you don't have any depth behind your QB1. Carlyle Holiday was already a terrible fit for the stripped down West Coast Offense that Willingham wanted to run, and the two best passers (Arnaz Battle, Jared Clark) had already been converted into a WR and TE.
After Holiday went down with that blow to the head against BC, our next two QB's on the depth chart were walk-ons (Dillingham, Novakov). Yeah, not exactly a smart situation.
Thankfully, we'll still have three quality players (Carr, Minchey, Herbert).

Simple, heartfelt and with dignity.

A man among men! If (when) Carr gets hurt the staff will rue the day!

3 is too many. They all want to play. They are all quality.
Best to all of them. Go Irish Go
Do you think Angeli was going to stay for the #2 spot?
I suspect he was told that he wasn't going to be #1 which is what he wanted. It's not the coaching staff fault he didn't want to stay for the #2 spot. The coaches aren't going to be second guessing themselves because Carr, by virtually all accounts, was the best QB on the team.
He got his ND degree and that is the important thing.
Yes! He would wait for his chance just like Montana!

Are you a ND fan?

No. I have attended 80% of all home games for the last 35 years because I don't like ND. Come on!

Then why wish for bad things to happen to Carr to justify your position on Angeli?
Angeli is leaving ND. Wish him well. Your "rue the day" comment is not exactly consistent with rooting for the current team.
IMO Carr is over-rated. Carr is injury prone. The guy threw 4 picks in a high school playoff game. I
don't wish harm on anyone. And Minchey will be a disaster IMO.
He throws 4 INTs in a HS game so he's a bust? Why did Freeman recruit him?

At that point and time he had already committed. Hope that I am proven wrong!

I hope so too. Go Irish.

Amen and GO IRISH!

Why? The premise it's the staff's fault for not giving him the job is redonkuless
Steve was a good backup and when needed was serviceable against the depleted Oregon State team and a series against Ped State.
I think Freeman is looking to build some consistency and if the QBs are equal why not go with the young talent? Steve also took a lot of silly sacks that annoyed the living crap out of me.
He was more than "serviceable" - he excelled almost every time he played
If he starts somewhere this year, he'll light it up.
Truthfully I wanted Angeli to start against Miami but against a good pash rush
team in the playoffs I think he would not have done well.
And he loved ND! He was not looking for a springboard to the NFL and i never could see Minchey!

Odds on him that he puts up better numbers than Carr?

I give Steve a ton of credit but if our lineman doesn't recover the fumble he had against Penn State
we would have been in big trouble.
