The dude has been a helluva college QB, I just don't think he has the physical talent to translate. His best case scenario is carving out a career as a backup but is he really more talented than Will Grier? I don't think so and Grier is struggling mightily to hang onto an NFL career.

I think Grier was more talented.

You guys should have seen the game thread on the Notre Dame thread.  It was a complete meltdown and then the miracle happened.  Notre Dame plays at Louisville next week.  The Irish better figure it out or they're going to get beat.  

ND just isn't that good and their ranking is all about the golden helmets. They should be well accustomed to that reality by this point.

It was thought that, with a new OC and the transfer of Sam Hartmann, that Notre Dame would be much better this year.  They have a good tight-end but no real playmakers at receiver.  They're a good team but not playoff caliber.  For that matter, neither are my Buckeyes.  But back to Notre Dame, they host USC in 2 weeks and later they play at Clemson.  Right now I think Notre Dame is an 8 or 9-win team.  

Ohio State's #1 problem is the loss of CJ Stroud to the draft.  Our QB play is nowhere near what CJ did.  As well, our OL is not nearly as good, which isn't suprising based on the guys we lost to the NFL, including left tackle Paris Johnson, taken #6 by Arizona.  

ND has never been playoff caliber. Every time they've ever made the playoffs they've gotten absolutely wrecked. But that's never mattered. Every opportunity the committee has ever had they've put them in anyway.

I hate Notre Dame as much as anyone, but saying they aren’t good or not playoff worthy is a trash take.  They had Ohio State BEAT with 1 second left in the game, just couldn’t get that stop.  If they do, everyone is talking about ND.

Opposite mojo with the Duke game today…Notre Dame was DONE if Duke converts. 4th and 16 with seconds left.

Both are good teams this year.  Sucks about Duke’s QB.

Also, #1 Georgia easily could have lost today in the final minute. 

Parity is good. One play at the end can change the outcome.

Agreed. The fighting Irish are the REAL DEAL this season with a steller coaching staff led by Freeman, a leader of men.

Due to the lack of competetiveness in FBS football, we've had a lot of BAD playoff games.  There are a number of teams who have received playoff bids only to get blown out.  Ohio State was one of them in 2016, losing 31-0 to Clemson.  

OSU tend to be overrated for the CFP and should just stick to the BCS. Not sure why they keep getting the best 5 star receiving recruits to commit.

If I had to pick the playoff teams right now I would seed them like this.  

#1 Georgia vs. #4 Florida State

#2 Texas vs. #3 Michigan

#5 Oregon (best team in Pac12, they're next man up if one of the top-4 falters).  Washington is #6.  Penn State #7.  Ohio State #8.  Alabama #9.  USC #10.  

Texas has played not 1, not 2, but 3 backup QB's the past 3 weeks.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Really? You don't see why a team can't draft a QB in the 1st round while then starting their former #1 overall pick over them while on the last year of their deal? It puts the team in a TERRIBLE place no matter how the season goes.  If Bryce sucks, you have to answer questions as to why he was still on the team to begin with, let alone starting over the rookie.  If he's good, then you run into the situation the Vikings were in last offseason with sticking with the rookie contract or the the guy who just performed instead of said young QB. It's one thing when teams keep a vet around as a bridge QB, it's something entirely different when that QB is still only in their mid 20's and was taken #1 overall by that team.   That just doesn't happen and not sure it ever has in NFL history before.

      Where panthers draft ranked against Big Boards in 2023

      What is the alternative? - BY, will not play for less then his perceived contract (just like Cam Newton did). So you pay him top of market as befitting a 1st round, Heisman winning, playing birthing QB would get. Or you cut him. - Then we are forced to either sign a stop gap QB / previously failed QB and try to fix him or you spend a 1st round pick and draft a guy, basically resetting the team.  The reality is that we all want a top 5 QB. The problem is there are only 5 of those guys in the world and drafting, even #1 overall doesn't guarantee that.  The other problem is the NFL market. Young QB get paid. Even an average, young QB gets top of market deals. I know a lot of people here think we could sign him to an 'average QB contract' but thats not reality. Didnt happen with Cam wont happen with BY.  So we could let this season flush out and he is again a middling QB. But then we cut and restart or accept it is what it is (including compensation) and build a team around what we have.  My money is on the latter.

      That doesn't void his contract
