Feel bad for the kid but im happy Angeli and Minchey are still in the QB room. Starting to wonder if Leonard will have enough time to learn the offense and his WR group.
Riley Out Rest of Spring
- Thread starter raulduke_007
- Start date
Let's hope neither Angeli or Minchey transfer. If I was the coaching staff, I'd make sure this is a real QB competition and not just handing the job to someone. I feel bad for Leonard too, but team comes first, if his ankle injury is an ongoing issue, they need to move on.
At this point I'd sit both Minchey and Angeli down and say rest of spring is 50-50. Let it rip.
It's still a forgone conclusion that Riley will be starting IMHO. But the staff needs to know where they are going if he goes down.

The guy is made out of glass.
Starting to look that way. Seems like a tough kid but body might let him down. Hopefully this is the last bump in the road to a full recovery.
I'm in awe of the number of 3 point shots that are made from beyond the 3 point line.....
That doesn’t seem to make sense
You either have a stress fracture or you don’t
The insertion of a plate when indicate a significant stress fracture rather than a developing stress fracture
Glad to hear the prognosis was excellent. On one hand it stinks he will miss reps, on the other I'm happy the presumed backups will get a ton of reps now. If nothing else it showed Angeli and/or Minchey they are one play away from being the guy.
Yes you do. You care about every little slight people say about you on here. Then you run to the moderator. Your just playing it off this time because you didn't know he was laughing at you 🤣
I never went to the moderator until others did, and all I went to the the moderator about was to get equal treatment
I really don’t care about anything that Echowaker says, he’s a legend in his own mind And about as petty as you can get, only IrishJohn exceeds him when it comes to pettiness, with you following in third
I’m glad that you are always thinking of me.
show everyone the tattoo you have with my name.
I guess you know more than the staff. Minchey is given every opportunity, but can't seem to beat out Angeli. He's had all of last year to overtake Angeli as the 2 and couldn't. You are an idiot.
“Right now Steve is ahead of the other guys, just through experience and the evidence he’s shown us,” Freeman said.
I don’t get why some posters throw shade at angelli. I thought he played well in the bowl game. And if not for the portal would be our starting QB this season.
Possibly yes. Hed be in an actual QB battle though unlike what we have now
Carr isn't ready, and Minchey still can't beat him out. I don't think it would be much of a battle just a more legitimate competition.

I hope I’m wrong. But Riley Leonard could turn out to be injury prone.
Angelli could very well be starting some games for us. The spring game should give us a good look at both backup Quarterbacks
I think it would definitely be a battle. Angeli would definitely have the upper hand right now as hes older and actually played. But they have more natural talent and gifts so they would keep gaining on him
They arent ready now but what about a month from now. Or 5 months from now. Probably a different story
It would be a heated competition.
We'll get a good look at all 3 backups. All talented and capable
Marcus Freeman recruited and signed a seasoned, experienced, multiple starts senior portal QB for a reason.
He's 3rd string right now. Maybe later in the year, but as of today, nope.
Eventually, Carr is going to overtake both Angeli and Minchey. That could be 5-6 months from now.
My concern is, if Minchey hasn't gained on Angeli at this point, I don't see it happening.
This has been my conern as well.
When another former big-bodied Duke QB, DANIEL JONES -- who once beat ND and now plays for the Giants -- went down last year, I IMMEDIATELY THOUGHT OF LEONARD.
Jones had gained 720 yds. from scrimmage the previous season, and while I'm not sure how he sustained his ACL injury, it's clear that the more a QB runs, the RISKIER IT GETS. And just because a guy is big doesn't make him IMMUNE.
The only thing that surprises me with Leonard -- given his two injuries last season -- is how QUICKLY the other shoe dropped this spring. I'm in NO WAY surprised, nor will I be if he goes down again.
Let's just hope this isn't an Aaron Rogers situation.
How would anyone know this without seeing them play in a meaningful game? What do you base this on?
I would have no issues with Angeli as the starter in 24.
Obviously Marcus Freeman would; otherwise, he would not have signed Riley Leonard.
