Where are all the Riley critics?

What exactly was proven wrong?

Did his draft stock go from practice squad tight end to 7th round QB?
Or are you still going to draft him first round on your Xbox?

He can't throw against the grain.

Sometimes his accuracy is as bad or worse than Wimbush..

And he's got about 45 non wind aided yards in that arm.

Now which part exactly was proven wrong?

He's playing better but for god sake ....
Riley's best day throwing the ball is three yards less than Angelli threw to beat Oregon State.
232 yards for Angelli
229 yards for Riley Leonard

That's hilarious actually.

P.s.

Don't look at the QB ratings

It's even worse

I disagree with Golson on numerous posts, and we go back and forth…me expressing my opinion and he often expressing his as Fact, which many here find irritating. But I think the majority of his posts provide substance and perspective worthy of debate, and I for one value his participation here.

I definitely think would should at least consider another transfer at QB for '25. See who's out there. Unless, and of course this is a real consideration, all of our current QBs transfer in response, literally all three. Or at least two. I guess fans would be fine if Angeli and Minchey left, because everybody wants Carr to take over, and that way he could apprentice one more year.

One of Carr, Minchey or Angeli should be ready to take over in '25. We don't need another transfer IMO. I guess Freeman didn't think those guys were ready yet this year, but they should be next year.

Who? Same guys? Or is it their maturity level, and they were just too young? Because Angeli is in his 3rd year, and is either too young, sucks too much or both. And Minchey and Carr who are both fine prospects, are indeed young, and will be significantly older and more mature in a year one would like to surmise. But still on the young side, and this isn't Bryce Underwood we're talking about with these two, they're just good prospect.

So if Angeli is just not good enough period, and Minchey and Carr are good enough, but will still both be on the young/immature side, why wouldn't we go for another transfer yet again, especially if we make the playoff with our current one. We've done quite nicely with the transfers we already had. Jack Coan led us to 11-1 and what would have been easy playoff qualification in BK's final season. And SH was fine, he wasn't bad at all, we had a shitty OC.

NC State's Grace Hartman won the race with a time of 19:15.1. An NC State runner has won an individual ACC title in each of the last six years.

That is the problem; we are doing rental QBs and not developing our own. You are never going to win it all without a top QB and you are not going to get one that way here via the Portal.

We have a good running game for sure. And that definitely includes RL, you could almost says he's our best RB. And it's a very fun offense to watch. And it would appear now to my eyes to be very well coached and coordinated. We've got a nice little operation going. Kudos to Denbrck.

Obviously the defense is the team, without it, we'd be, I don't know, 5-3? And Al Golden is proving to have been a truly inspired hire, and it really seems like our defense is a pretty badass unit through and through. Plenty of individual talent and ability, but they look so well coached and with confidence and conviction and commitment. They're just a high class, first-rate unit. I'd say it's a championship level defense. Though four straight games will be tough. USC will be a test. They have a very good passing game, even if it's not quite vintage Lincoln Riley, that'll be our biggest test maybe before the playoff, and one we have to pass obviously.

What? What was so compelling about that apologia, shall we say, of Riley Leonard? He literally said RL was the QB on our schedule that gave us more trouble than any other and that's why he recruited him and offered him a million dollars. You couldn't find any more gibberish pure rhetoric than that. That is not why ND recruited him, in any way whatsoever. He was merely available, and was thought to be pretty good. Not because we compared him to the other 11 QBs we faced a season ago, and then winnowed the list down, which is just stupid. It's my understanding that RL wanted to transfer and cash in, and ND thought here's someone pretty good we could go with, he's a milk-toast so he'll fit right in at ND. And so they made an offer. The best you could say is since we did play Duke, we got a first-hand look, and he wasn't even that good, about what he is now, effective runner, lousy passer. But apparently good enough, and that's what was available. And that's why he's our QB.

Arknasas' QB is actually pretty intriguing as someone we could have gone after. He was a transfer from Boise. As well as KJ Jefferson, who was a transfer from Arkansas. They're both dual threats too, especially Green. But RL has definitely come through as a good and reliable running QB, and is pretty fun to watch.
