He can throw a football so even if he bust he is 100% better than Clausen who had trouble throwing an NCAA ball lol. 

Clausen had Michael Floyd, Golden Tate and Kyle Rudolph…they made him look 100x better. Unbelievable talent around a mid (at best) qb.

AR15 going top 10 in several mock drafts.

The first time I looked at him going into that draft I couldn't belive the ducks he was throwing in college and the people saying he was a legit QB prospect. It was mind boggling. The ball came out like it was launched by a wet noodle. It was unbelievably bad but we also went after Little and his film was terrible also. Hurney really had some beer goggles on at times.

There’s basically no info from inside scouting departments yet, the mocks don’t mean too much yet. But he definitely has the kind of talent that teams fall in love with, and it only takes one.

The kid with the golden arm they called him looool. I married into a diehard ND family so I’m part ND fan now as well, I’ve never been so mad on a draft pick in my entire life than when we took him. Garbage.

As I'm sure you know but others may not, he had as many 400 yard passing games as 100 yard rushing games... 

If all he has was potential to run the ball he wouldn't be the prospect he is. Arm strength is awesome and he made some impressive throws.  But he also has a long way to go consistency wise... If he didn't he'd be consensus #1...

The other user made it sound like all he does is run. We actively tried to limit his runs this year, sometimes to our detriment. But our backup QB was hurt all year so they didn’t want to risk him getting hurt too and us having to go with Kitna. 
 

So Richardson had two 400 yard passing games this year against Vandy and Tennessee. Will Levis had 0 400 yard passing games. Bryce Young had 1. Stroud had 0. Dugan had 0.

Yeah sorry -  I wasn't knocking those 100 yard rushes or 400 yard passing - my intent was to show he isn't some kind of "rushing QB" alone.  400 yard games are imo relatively special for a passer, and so if AR was just a running back pretending to be a QB he wouldn't have the same number of 400 yard games as 100 yard rushing games. There are *many* QBs that are far more rush-first than AR was.

Oh my fault. I was agreeing with you. Didn’t mean to make it sound like I was coming at you or anything!

All good.  Honestly, the more I've looked into AR and his circumstances, the more I really like him. I caught some of his series across a few games earlier in the year and tbh I wasn't as impressed because I didn't know anything about the team around him etc, and didn't usually watch full games to get a glimpse of some of his better plays.  He oozes potential, and I think he has all the traits that NFL GMs love.  I think he's going to go high, but I also am far from a professional evaluator.

You guys are arguing in agreement. If the next coach is worth a damn Matt will get a fair shot this time along with whoever else they bring in, but they aren’t going to stop looking because of him.

Exactly. We are going to see just how good or bad Matt Corral is. It's on the menu. What's a fish fry without the fish?

Be honest, with a new head coach coming in, if they draft a QB in the first two rounds MC isn’t going to get a fair shake at all.

He throws those but that’s not his only quality. I mean throwing hard passes will allow him to make throws other QBs on our roster can’t make. But it’s good you watch tape!

That's just dishonest
