Notre Dame over Penn St.

Just imagine him saying "Mommy Mommy what did I get myself into" that would of been some great popcorn eating and Bacardi drinking time.

AHHHHHHHHHH, this I can answer for you. If you look at the early part of the Browns schedule, I don't think it would be wise to throw any rookie QB into that situation. Brady Quinn will be the starter by the half way point of the season, the coaches are already well aware that he is way better than Charlie Frye, they just don't want to rush him in. From what I hear, he is getting to know the playbook and the offense very well, and we might see him sooner than you think.

On a side note, NDs lack of offense on Saturday shows how good Quinn really is. Last year, Quinn was putting up points with a very similiar offense talent wise. I know that the ND team lost 2 WR, a RB, and some of the line, but none of those guys were drafted that high, and their replacements on this years team are at the same talent level. They replaced Darius Walker with Travis Thomas, James Aldridge, and the speedy Armondo Allan. At WR, they still have David Grimes and their TE Carleson. ND could get nothing done offensively on Saturday, but with almost that same offense last year, Quinn kept on plugging away and putting points on the board. All I'm saying is that the guy is good.

Jeff Sazmargkinaminski single handedly saved your butts last year almost every week. All Quinn had to do was get the ball somewhere near him and he'd catch it.

Anytime you lose your #1 and 2 reciever and your starting RB and some of your O-line, you will suffer. If Quinn was still at ND he would have those same problems.

A shorter answer would had been. You just don't make any sense at all.

Been thinking about this since one brother-in-law (ND fan) been ripping into the other one (Michigan Fan) after the loss

6. Come Saturday ND will get crushed again, because they are flat out not good. They have no offense and will have a hard time putting points on the board against any team that is not named Navy, Air Force or Duke.

Somehow I'm thinking Navy will finally end that streak, even though they have choked in the past 15 years of ending it already.

Excuses, excuses geez. Maybe Quinn dropped to the 22nd pick because he isn't as great as he thinks he is. If he is this great of a QB then he should be able to produce against ANY TEAM without the excuse of him not playing because he is a rookie.

PS How was Basket Weaving 101 and PE today.

To all except Irish..

Stand up and walk towards the wall. When you are 6" away, smash head as hard as possible into wall.

It is much less painful that posting about ND football

You can't even say you could beat a division 2 team. Next year would you please schedule appalaichan state and let them beat your ass in south bend!

NEBRADY,

The Penn State qb's havn't been chartering a plane to NFL stardom. In fact please name me one successfull PSU QB in the last 30 years. And no 1st round bust Todd Blackledge does not count. ND pro QB's are hall-of-famers by comparison

[IrishofNDMan]

Like I said, before passing judgment lets see what Clausen does in his first start this Saturday, and lets see what Brady Quinn does in his first NFL start in the NFL.

And Quinn was?

[skippy3481]

Um who's expecting quinn to be an all-pro in year one. VERY VERY VERY few rookie qb's do anything in their first year. Peyton manning was 3-13.... Brady quinn may be ok in the nfl, but its going to take more then one year on a crappy team to determine that.

Brady Quinn will be a Hall of Famer for the simple reason that the Dolphins liked a 60 year old guy with 23 concussions and a dude named Cleo more.

They are already touting the HS Senior QB that they just signed as the challenger. NEXT!

Well, Kerry Collins was a starting qb in a Super Bowl. Chuck Fusina was a USFL wizard. Wally Richardson got key XFL minutes. I think Michael Robinson is a 3rd down running back for the 49ers. Tony Sacca got drafted. Todd Blackledge is in fact a successful college football color commentator on the TV. John Shaffer works on wall street. Success is simply in the eye of the beholder. PSU qbs are quite successful in the last 30 years. I'm sure Clausen is on his way to 4 or 5 Heisman's like that other guy...Powlous or something like that. I cant' even remember how to spell his name. Or was that another guy who was going to win 5 Heismans??

but Joe Montana...That other Joe...Theisman, Terry Hanratty, who wasn't much more than Blackledge as a pro. Blair Kiel?? Rick Mirer. Tony Rice. Steve Beurlein. Powlus...how do you spell that guy's name?? So yes, NOtre Dame's qbs have been much better than PSUs in the pro game. Montana and Theisman were stars...Beurlein was good, the rest...not so great. I'm sure I'm forgetting some.

I'll run naked through the streets if Notre Dame beats Penn State this year.

I didn't say anything about penn st. quarterbacks. The fact is nd sucks and now clausen gets to get jacked up by the lions. More and more excuses from the nd man. Face it you know its desperation time when the coach is already putting in another qb after the first game. Too bad its not gonna help. Its time to feed the lions a little irish meat. Yummy taste like chicken and plays like one to. As for quinn, your right the browns aren't stupid and throwing him out to the wolves yet. But when he does, getting ready to hear he got jacked up. By the way gbbob make sure your wearing a helmet when hitting the wall.

Clausen has been the #1 guy the entire time. After the spring game, Weis said that Clausen was the #1 QB, but because of the elbow surgery he missed some practice so wasn't fully ready yet. Clausen gives them the best chance to win, that is why he is the starter.

GO IRISH!!!
