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.

Just an opinion. by NDMike2001

I didn’t watch the hole game. I was just casually monitoring until his rotation. He looked like the Ian Book you’d expect at ND. Four drives. Two resulted in three and outs. One interception on another drive. One drive resulted in a TD. He had a drop and did well to scramble from pressure. But IMO I didn’t see anything that we haven’t seen from average Book.

My original post about him better off not playing was clearly made in hindsight. I was encouraged about what they were saying in camp. I thought that with a good showing he could convince teams that he was the kind of quarterback that you could keep on the practice squad or even hold the clip board for games. Someone who could pick up an offense and run the huddle in an emergency. Someone who could backup a Baker Mayfield or be a Taysum Hill even. Other than show his general allusiveness, he didn’t show reasons why a team should take a flyer on an undersized QB. It’s also unfortunate for him that another quarterback on the roster moved the ball much better than him. Again, just one guy’s opinion. I’m rooting for him. I always thought he had Steve Young toughness and wondered what he could be with good coaching.
