Tommy Rees had more football acumen, poise and toughness than (Crist, Golson, Zaire, Kizer and Winbush) combined.
But in relation to big time College Football he had virtually zero talent. No foot speed, no arm strength. Yet he still has been far and away the best QB of the Kelly Era. Until now!!!
Ian Book can process information instantly and then has the brains and TALENT to make plays under duress. Brian Kelly is right...he is another Trace McSorley and thats a damn good QB right there!
It was VERY easy to see during the Citrus Bowl vs LSU that he should have been namd the starter for 2018.
Brian Kelly is easily one of the Top 5-10 coaches in the country. And you do not get there without confidence and ego.
He believed he could 'fix" Winbush with an off season and a training camp. Why? To keep a great athlete on the football field.
But after 3 sputtering inconsistent performances, Kelly & Long threw in the towel with BW. The 2 happiest men in South Bend are Brian Kelly & Chip Long....they finally have extension of themselves on the field and a QB who can take their brilliant Xs & O,s off the dry erase board and bring them to life on Saturday. GO IRISH!!!
