This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Some relevant circumstances at play. by Bruno95
He did well at Wisconsin and was the QB of their Rose Bowl team in 2019. But he got hurt, Mertz played well, and the job might not have been open. He is also a former lacrosse commit at ND and may have had some lingering affinity for the school. Whatever his star rating, that proxy isn’t as important as his actual college production.
He was in the national top 20 in passer rating and 7th in completion percentage in 2019, and he’s the taller type of QB we’ve been talking about for years. With an inexperienced line, an inexperienced and small QB is not ideal. As a bridge to Buchner, this makes sense for ND.
