Drew Pyne looking like Drew Brees

He was the #18 overall ranked QB in the 2020 class.

Have you ever heard of Bryce Young....
Pro style i mean

he’s also way better than number 18 overall. He’s possibly going to be top 20 this season.

I dont care if it's pro style or dual threat. They're all qbs. He was 18th overall

I think there is a lot of qbs who would excel in our current situation. But I hope he keeps playing well
 
Yeah I’m not disagreeing with you. But if he breaks some records at Notre Dame this year he was underrated. That was all I was saying.
 
“He's had all day to throw the ball and he can thank Mayer for that. Mayer commands so much attention teams are reluctant to sell out on a blitz. Mayer is a tough enough matchup playing honest.”

but TEs can’t be “game breakers” I thought? 😉
Two things...

#1
We weren't playing a Clemson, how'd he do against OSU?, not playing a Bama or Georgia...
Mayer "might" dominate against an elite team but NOT without help from the perimeter.
The teams we've played so far minus OSU Mayer absolutely should've overwhelmed them...and he did for the most part.

Playing against better athletes and coaches he's getting double and triple teamed and I'd do the same thing. Until we show someone we'll kill them with our WR's top teams will take away Mayer....at least keep him contained.

#2
Mayer is a great player but everyone gets open if the QB has all day to throw.

We won't be afforded the luxury of an eternity to scan the field and wait for eventual separation against top teams.

Couple of things....

Let's see how happy those feet are after the Clemson game.

He's had all day to throw the ball and he can thank Mayer for that. Mayer commands so much attention teams are reluctant to sell out on a blitz. Mayer is a tough enough matchup playing honest.

Clemson will be coming from everywhere at Pyne and we'll see how settled he stays.

Accuracy?
So far he's been fairly accurate except when rolling to his right.
Notice they haven't run that play any more after a throw into the dirt and one sailed pass over head.

The time he has is almost like 7 on 7 skeleton so I'd hope he is accurate.

We need to see him under duress and getting racked a few times and how he responds
Mayer isn’t the reason that “he had all day”, that’s a credit to the OLine.

”Accuracy” is “THE” critical asset for a QB

Ooooook
5 blocking 4....
because nobody is blitzing... BECAUSE OF MAYER....
plus we're talking NC, BYU, CAL

I certainly HOPE our Oline can provide the QB time.
 
The only position he looked fit for tonight

This post didn't age well. Many posts in this forum haven't aged well.
 
This last game doesn’t take away from what Pyne did in those other games, but it’s pretty wild that anyone thought he is more than a fill-in type QB.

Once again, you’re twisting and contorting to prove yourself right when you said something dumb about how TEs can’t be game breakers. They can be. And Mayer is. But don’t worry, 88, you can still think what you said makes sense so you can keep your streak of never being wrong going, but it was a dumb position to take & was taken just to diminish the idea that ND has had game breaking TEs in the past and now. Instead of conceding the point, you had to conjure up an argument against ND. It was uninformed & par for your course.

Drew Pyne was the #8 overall QB in the 2020 class. He was even disrespected in the rankings due to his height and still was top 10. I can name at least 3 kids ranked above him that are definitely not as good from 2020. Only one that is certainly better is CJ Stroud. I expect he could finish the season at least that good if not better by his senior year.
yep! he will finish his career ranked in College Football’s top 100 in the past 100 years! And he will give all credit to OC T. Rees. Whata guy!

Yeah, I was trying to be positive that day. That's what I get.
