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.

here's the whole post by El Capitan

Ian Book is a really good player --

OK, he doesn't have NFL prototype size (but then again neither does Drew Brees). He has above-average arm strength for a college QB, but he's not John Elway.

But, to quote Dabo Sweeny, "he's a baller."

OK, he didn't play well against Clemson. But neither did any of Bama's QB's.

But the kid has won every game he started except that one, and bailed out the Irish in the Citrus Bowl against LSU.

He completed over 68 percent of his passes last year with 19 TD's against 7 interceptions. He rushed for about 300 yards, and that counts sacks against his total.

He's extremely accurate, including -- and this is big in this offense -- on the run. He can adjust his arm angle and still hit the target. He has great field vision.

He makes the right reads. He's a leader. He doesn't bitch at other players. If it was on him, he takes responsibility.

Barring a horrible injury, he'll own most of the ND passing records by the time he leaves.

Nitpick away. But you might be watching the greatest ND QB in history by many objective measures.

Not sure where the misquote is. I'd post a link to the post, but it's not permitted.
