ND-fan Posted August 28 Posted August 28 Under theme thread and discussion has happened in last few days I think the worry about what we are going to finish at is the bottom line on quarterback choice. Jerry is choice if you’re looking at building program in future if you believe he can become quarterback that can develop into top flight quarterback in his junior and senior seasons. The problem then is we’re going to go through transition period this year where we are going experience growing pains and probably loose couple of games we should have won. If he is falling short on his development then we will see Johnson another Sophomore quarterback who by coach believes can be also quarterback of the future. Schmidt will be insulated on going this approach and if heat gets to high he will just jettison offensive coordinator from previous coach and higher his person giving time to build the program. The 6 and 6 mark is probably mid point what are season can be. We could end up anywhere from 4 and 8 to 8 and 4 this year. If you look at this team we have talent and have recruited future talent but overall we are young team with a not much proven talent in skilled positions other than running back. But our running game will be dependent on quarterback play to create passing game as well supplement the running game if we are going to be successful. With this thought we may need all three quarterbacks because I think our quarterbacks are going to take beating to create passing game. Look at last year Simon took quite pounding and we still had two good receivers in Boe and Smith out of back field. This year it going to take some time for our receivers to figure out how to be productive. We haven’t even talked about new defense and is short on depth in key areas now to implement that defense. I hate to say it but 6 and 6 maybe what will be improvement over last year and especially with our schedule this year. Not what people may want to hear and maybe I am wrong on where I think where this team is at but I think this why were picked to be seventh in conference. 2 Quote

A winning record will send a strong message that Schmidt has this thing turned around. 1 Quote

We played 3 of the 4 semi Finalists last year and went 5-7. I believe the 2 SD Schools are not going to be as good as last year and we have NDSU at home. We will see just how hard the schedule was at the end of the year, but IMO is will not be as hard as last year when all is said and done. This team needs to finish with a winning record and at least 1 win in the playoffs. 2 Quote

Outside of just the overall record at the end of the reg season, I think another good gauge for culture change (or lack of) will be how they progress as a team throughout the season. Instead of the same old ups and downs with a general downward trend with a usual really bad loss late in the season, I hope they are at least playing their best ball of the year toward the end. And with QB1 convo included, I hope the same goes for Jerry or whoever it is at that point. I hope they progress and grow confident with a positive overall trend into the end of the year rather than struggling late. 1 Quote
