Quinn Ewers
- Thread starter THUNDERSTRUCK111
- Start date
I hope ND is not seriously considering picking up Ewers. Freeman recently said there is no plan to go to the portal this year for a QB; I hope that hasn't changed. Ewers is overrated in my eyes. Not big or particularly mobile. Doesn't have a particularly strong arm. Slow to process the field, though he usually makes good decisions. UT fans are mostly clamoring for Arch Manning, though some of that may be the shiny new toy syndrome. It is a near certainty that Manning will start next year, so Ewers will either be playing somewhere else or holding a clipboard in the NFL. There is no way Ewers will go in the first round of the NFL draft, IMO. He can probably make more NIL money than he will get in the NFL next year.
I am a little concerned about CJ Carr's elbow injury. I read he fractured his right elbow during a practice in September and hasn't done much throwing since then. I suppose a fracture is better than a UCL injury, but I don't know enough about elbow fractures to know whether the injury will be a long-term concern. While I like Steve Angeli, he doesn't move the needle for me. Either Carr or Minchey will have to be the man next year.

Minchey had all season to overtake Angeli and couldn't do it, and yet here you are calling for Minchey over Angeli like you know something the coaching staff doesn't. If Carr is healthy, he and Angeli will be vying for the starting role. there's a good chance Minchey will be the odd man out and transfer out come spring unless he makes significant strides.
Be prepared to be disappointed at the qb position next season.
At Miami. Game 1. Going with a redshirt freshman QB with zero CFB game experience will make many fans a tad nervous.
Angeli will likely start the year and ND will go from there
Correct, because we missed on the ones we wanted
Loy, Sampson, etc…said we made contact and offers to qbs, but will not be taking one. Writing on the wall, we didn’t land a big fish.
Thank You for not mentioning Bryan Driskell.
But frankly, you don’t know if any of this is true.
Simply speculation and throwing mud against a wall.
I don’t know if we offered ewers, but we offered multiple big time wins and they most likely declined, so the staff has elected to move forward with who we have, hence freeman’s words.
“…rumors…”
Meanwhile, it was reported that CJ Carr has been practicing in New Orleans and was seen throwing footballs well at practice.
If they took a portal QB for next year, both Angeli and Minchey would be gone. The QB room would be back to square zero with maybe better talent than that of Buchner and Pyne. Why would the staff risk the defection of more than half the QB room to bring in another rental.
Why? Because you could argue that a certain rental is better than any 2025 QB they currently have.
We don’t know if the 2025 QB room has a QB that is a title starting QB. It’s unknown.
We don't know, but the coaches should. That's their job to coach and develop. Keep taking QB rentals and no elite QB is going to think about coming to ND out of HS.
Let me ask you, how many 1 year QB rentals in the past 10-15 years have won a national championship with the team they transferred to?
Exactly, 1 in 15 years, and that team was loaded with NFL talent. 10 drafted in the first round, 14 total, both setting nfl records for a school.
I'd prefer to believe the words of the head coach than some supposed insiders.
What else is Marcus Freeman supposed to say in December?
Plans could change in January.
ok just in the past 4 years? ZERO transfer QB's have won the NC. That's as recent as you can get.
Huge difference between throwing a few passes vs fully healthy and letting it rip
100s of times a day every day
Literally every news outlet and insider has stated we’ve made multiple offers to qbs months ago, and they didn’t land. So as Marcus says, they currently have no plans for a portal qb. Not the case a month or two ago.
Months ago? That would mean ND was violating tampering rules. I highly doubt ND would resort to breaking NCAA tampering rules.
Who gives a shit.
If Dillon Gabriel isn’t at Oregon they are 9-3.
You have to make the playoff to win the playoff.
Again, my question was how many 1 year rental QB's have won the NC on the team they transferred to? In the last 4 years, it's ZERO!
Learn how to read.
Probably the most logical solution. It keeps angelli from transferring and lets Carr develop. The o line should be better next season also. Besides the dual threat aspect we can be a very balanced attack . What’s the incoming freshman look like ?
You're just throwing out every nonsense rumor that is out there
Incorrect. Just because you are saying that doesn't make it true
Now we were offering kids and breaking the rules during the year.
Where are you getting these rumors from
Stop. Don't be so obtuse as to how this works. How did ND land Malachi fields just days after he entered the portal?
There is a ton of back channel work and offers going on with every team.
Jesus, you too. You think teams are only making offers to players in the portal? Come on man. ND made offers to multiple qbs over the last 1-2 months. Freeman probably had a feeling or knew it wasn't looking good for one of them, and he made his comments.
Offers going out are what is making kids enter the portal! It's not, enter the portal, and then start getting offers.
Everyone knew we were landing fields before he even entered the portal.
You seem to be the obtuse one, believing everything you read on the Internet. Keep posting your drivel, you're showing your stupidity.
