It's very tough to have Bowden & Freeman begging a Jay Jordan type for X million dollars to bring in a guy and then bench him in week 3 (oh yeah, and getting the school to pony up so Bowden doesn't leave for UM in the off season as well).

At this point, this looks like a huge eval/projection miss that just can't happen when you have a personnel department budget like ND's.

        One is not a pattern. On bust #3, you have credibility - atxND, 2024-09-09, 09:07
        
        Looks like both their Duke transfers are busts - Jeremy (WeIsND), 2024-09-09, 11:05

      - Angeli probably had some locker room support - Jeremy (WeIsND), 2024-09-09, 11:04
        
        Exactly. To me that bowl performance was impressive, - Madtown, 2024-09-09, 12:10
      - Malik Zaire had locker room defenders somehow - CK08, 2024-09-09, 09:05

    - Great example, and shows how much a change at QB could help - Mike (bart), 2024-09-09, 08:04
      - Yeah, the little things would go a long way here - Charles, 2024-09-09, 08:33

        Goolsby is smart, but I think he likes his "takes." - BillyGoat, 2024-09-09, 08:44
        
        indeed - KGB, 2024-09-09, 09:12
        
        I think there are some things we know at this point..... - BillyGoat, 2024-09-09, 08:53
        
        a quibble - HumanRobot, 2024-09-09, 09:56
        
        Yes. Ideally those are your two bellcow receivers. And you - BillyGoat, 2024-09-09, 09:57
        
        it's honestly not even clear what we were trying to do - Mike (bart), 2024-09-09, 10:01

        Faison expected back this week, fwiw - KGB, 2024-09-09, 10:00
        
        Great summary - BPH, 2024-09-09, 09:49
        
        haven't heard his take on this, but I think it is fair - Jay, 2024-09-09, 08:49
        
        do you have some playcalling/design in mind? - HumanRobot, 2024-09-09, 10:55
        
        We had Leonard before we had Denbrock. I wonder whether - BillyGoat, 2024-09-09, 08:54
        
        we also have protection problems, and receiver problems - Jay, 2024-09-09, 08:59
        
        you don't see the plays that don't happen because it comes - Mike (bart), 2024-09-09, 09:11
        
        not saying he didn't suck - Jay, 2024-09-09, 09:16
