Nothing looks natural or smooth, between the footwork, pocket presence or throwing the football. He is a great athlete but unfortunately there is a lot more to being a great qb and Kelly is not known for developing qbs. I hope I am wrong.
November 21, 20213 yr Alt and Fisher could be the best tackle tandem ND has had in a while. That's a high bar too. It was great to see Estime get in the game. Dude is built like an NFL RB right now. I really hope the staff puts the petal to the metal because the team is very close to taking the next step. Like others have said, still need the QB to be at least above average after this year. With a solid o-line, it will really help.
November 21, 20213 yr Way to bring down the party Mike lol. Should be a hell of a game. Edited November 21, 20213 yr by GunSlinger

I was pretty disappointed yesterday against that defense. Yea he did run great. But the fumbling of the snap, the errant passes. I'll admit I didn't get a chance to see every down he played due to work but what I did see I was disappointed.

Agree except for that run he wasn’t very impressive yesterday. I attribute it to all the second and third team players out on the field with him. Hope I am right.

If Pyne leaves after the season we are in deep shit. He is so natural and smooth with all the QB stuff, whereas Buchner reminds me of Hendrix but faster. Really hoping Pyne might stay for his degree which I would bet on since there are no rumblings yet. I also pray the staff will be open to starting him, because if he hasn’t developed as a QB then Pyne is far and away the better choice.
November 21, 20213 yr I don't question the talent, I question Kelly's game preparation. The 2022 schedule includes games with Ohio State, BYU and Clemson. Edited November 21, 20213 yr by ndmike88
November 21, 20213 yr Buchner missed a read to Colzie based on what Kelly said and I remember Colzie being wide open on that play with the errant throw. As for the fumble, even Brees mentioned it, the kid has probably taken 20 snaps under center in his entire career Finally, they definitely decided to give Estime the major load in the 4th quarter when the offense rarely had the ball due to the defense basically having two drives back to back with the scoop and score I am still high on Buchner and it is clear that he is the #2 based on the last two games. His lack of overall experience is noticeable, but also positive that he is this good with so little experience. Essentially only 1 year of varsity football (not sure what he did his freshmen year).

Wait until he gets the full playbook of Kelly's system so he'll be confused as shit with wavering confidence in himself.
