Of course there is now way to tell for sure. But he was not even in the conversation to start this yr. So most likely he was performing at a level much lower than Zaire. Plus he has no experience.
Pretty well against a lousy uva team. His throw to the corner was certainly pretty. But he will cost you losses this season unless he is the second coming on johnny manziel or andrew luck. I will make a bet with everyone on your site that he will cost you at least 3 games this yr. I have nothing personal against him or nd(I have a grad degree from nd). It is just very rare for young inexperienced qb's to play well. And Kelly does not have a great track record with qb's either. He is so critical of them and blasts them in front of the entire nation. So they are scared to play for him. He intimidates them and they cant play freely. I actually think that kelly has a brilliant offensive mind. But he does not relate well to his qb's.
I can agree with that, but I still think the qb play is just important as your d. Do you think your van gorder is not a great d coordinator. You have quite a few veteran high level players on d. I had nd pre season top 5 this yr. Its not like you gave up 50 to uva. ND did need a bit of a miracle to win, but you did your lose your qb in that game.
But if you go conservative it will cost you games as teams will load the ox to stop the run and short passing game. USC was really conservative on off and def last yr. Kessler had really inflated numbers because he threw a million screens and short passes. His numbers looked heisman like. Trust me, he was decent last yr., but not great. By the end of the year he was good, but being conservative cost us on o and d.
Not sure what you mean? If we lost kessler there would be a drop off. And who has kelly done well with as a qb?
Yes, 1 stars and 5 stars with top offers both make the pros. But wouldn't agree that more 5 stars make the pros than 1 st or stars. Guys who have 50 offers usually do better than guys with 5. There alike like 35 5 stars every every year(or we can call those 5 stars: guys with a ton of top offers) and maybe half of them go on to get drafted. 50 percent. There are probably 1000 3 stars and maybe 100 of them get drafted. 10 percent. So you are more likely to better if you are guy with a ton of top offers and or are very highly rated. Offer lists are not overrated at all. They are part of the equation. If 50 d1 coaches love a player and offer him, those coaches must he think he is really good. Their job depends on it. Kizer has high 3 star offers in my opinion. Why do I say this? Because his offer list shows this.
Yes. If usc lost Kessler and Brown we would be in real trouble. That is m point.
I am a graduate of nd, so I won't "go home". I am home. I am sorry that I am educated and have two degrees. But I like nd and usc and have respect for both programs.
True. Nobody knows how guys will really pan in college or hs. But when you look at all factors, you can get a better idea of who might succeed. That is what I was doing.
I can agree with that. But I don't think the threat of the qb run will be nearly as much with kizer. Like I said, I actually think Kelly is a pretty brilliant offensive mind. So he may have a way around it. The next few few weeks will be interesting. I think ND will be able to score on gt and clem. But those teams have prolific offenses. Gt is not great on d and clem lost most of their starters from last yr. I think ND oline should be able to run on those teams pretty well. So maybe that will give kizer some time to get acclimated. But I assume a few defenses will throw the house at him, and he may falter.
I really liked the way zaire played against usc last yr. And he and golson played well in lsu game. I thought that actually helped golson and that he would have a good senior yr. But I assume felt like kelly favored zaire.
My point in telling you that I went to nd was to show that I am pretty pretty objective. I wasn't lecturing. If you want to talk about why you think Kizer will be so great this year, then tell me what you think. Why be childish and tell me to go home. And yes, I don't think there is a need for profanity. Why tell me that I have prurient ears? Again, why try to insult me? To me, profanity and name calling is childish. You don't think it is? This board is about football, not name calling. Right?
