Coastal Carolina....

They run a gimmick offense. I dont think hed fit our offense that well.

It would be a totally different language for him to learn

English vs Chinese

Hardly think the different offense would be an obstacle at all for him. Small potatoes. That said I think there are better options.

I think it will. It causes a lot of problems going from college to pro when kids come from gimmick type of offenses to a pro style, read the whole field offense. Happens all the time

Maybe he would be different but absolutely would be a big difference for him

I also agree there are better options out there

Last I checked Notre Dame isn’t a pro team. He is an elite college QB and a legit pro prospect

We run a pro style offense. Its not an easy offense to pick up quick

Hes elite at a lower level and he is a pro prospect like Book and Coan were. He might go late sonewhere in the draft. Hes not a top prospect

You act as if there are "top prospects" at QB all over the transfer portal. The majority of QB's in the transfer portal are not big time players, or "top prospects.".

I never said there were. But there are better prospects than him
 
I think some people are going to be disappointed when we get. A depth piece at QB and NOT a sure fire starter.

1. ND is vested in Buchner and so is Rees.
2. Minchey is good...and can play. A similar system as Buchner. His commitment changes the urgency from needed a potential starter if Buchner gets hurt, to a couple game starter until Minchey is ready to go.
3. Transfer guys see the room differently with minchey then Carr coming. If Buchner beats them out they wasted a transfer.

Do you consider Hudson Card a depth piece?

Hahahaha you are so wrong about him as a pro prospect it’s laughable

Never seen him play, but the articles I’ve read suggest he is a likely second round draft pick. Good size, great feet, good arm strength, good pocket presence, great accuracy with a very quick release.
 
That is totally what's going to happen. We're not going to get an elite guy, and even if we end up getting someone who becomes the starter, it won't be an improvement over Pyne. It'll just be more of the same.

I think we should go for that dude from UVA. He looks great. Forget Hudson Card, he's just a name for the teenyboppers to swoon over. A former elite, prestige, brand-name recruit. But Brennan Armstrong looks like he could be a prolific passer. Even though I figure Buchner could easily beat him out.

This is assuming old boy is out, from Wake Forest.....
 
I am not certain, health notwithstanding, that Hudson Card is an upgrade over Tyler Buchner.
I was excited as anyone over the prospect of Buchner being our starting QB. Thought he looked good against Ohio St given the poor play of our OL, and his lack of experience and playing in an exceptionally loud hostile away game environment. I was taken back by how poorly he played against Marshal…missing a wide open sure TD pass that should be completed damn near 100% of the time, and a terrible interception for a pick six. The OL played poorly as well, and he was hampered with a poor running game and passing under pressure. That said, his passing was really poor that game, and his pocket awareness poor as well. I would love Buchner to play to our earlier expectations and realize his considerable potential, but it would be a huge gamble to rely on this along with his injury record. I would take a one year rental in Leary or Pratt or McCall, and have a real QB competition; and I would be less enthused over someone with two years of eligibility given the talent we have recruited going forward. The Gator Bowl should answer a lot of questions as to Buchner's ability.

The OL was absolute garbage against Marshall. I will wait and judge TB when the offense has a competent OL and a running game that is at least adequate.

Judging anyone on 1.5 starts, four quarters of which were in front of 110,000 at Ohio State in start 1, is a bit misguided.

The coaching staff should indeed recruit the transfer portal for a one season QB. Agreed.

If he was a 2nd rd pick, he would have declared for the draft

agreed...he'd be getting a big upgrade in coaching from AAC to P5. Good coaches know how to maximize your talent and make the information they teach easy to consume and learn.

Where? On the roster? Minchey?

He’s easily the best QB in the portal right now in my opinion. Leary being second. Would be thrilled with either and they’d be a big upgrade over what’s on the roster.

That being said I’d love for minchey to come in here and be a stud right off the bat
 
We could have Pat Mahomes and Tommy would make him sit behind some JAG.

This. I imagine we beat Marshall if he hadn’t kept Merriweather on the sideline and actually threw him the ball. We all saw what he did when it was too little too late vs Stanford. I’m concerned he’s too stupid to play Greathouse and Love even if they’re Mike Floyd and GA3.

GA3? Poor example

I don't think he's coming. No inside information..full disclosure.

I truly think ND and Rees want Buchner to work out and they are vested in him and as such will take a guy with only 1 year of eligibility to challenge, but not start over Buchner. I also think that the rumors of how good Buchner has looked in practices is going to scare off some guys that can probably get a guarenteed starting spot at a lesser school.

Of course a major injury in the bowl game would change that... But I think Rees is tied to Buchner now.

We beat Marshall if Tyler Buchner wasn't the one with the most rushes on the game. It was a horrible plan. Rees made a critical error and over thought things. Marshall was the perfect place to just let Buchner throw deep fades of play action. Instead he had him run read option in 8-9 people and tried to make him run progressions over the middle while under duress. It was simply a bad game plan, coupled with a VERY UNINSPIRED EFFORT FROM THE OL, and a total lack of adjustments.
 
ND needs to take another QB, Buchner has not been healthy. Missed a year of high school with an injury. And nearly missed a season at ND due to a shoulder injury.

I think college offenses are over complicated. I would love to see Rees put on a pair of cargo shorts a la Mike Leech and install a simple timing air raid offense that consists of 25 plays on a piece of paper. That is unstoppable at college level and with our O line n rbs we would have a balanced unstoppable offense. Receivers n QBs would flock to ND
