2021 (Lawrence), 2020 (Tua, Burrow, Herbert, Hurts), 2019 (Kyler Murray, Daniel Jones, Dwayne Haskins), 2018 (Lamar, Baker Mayfield, Josh Allen, Josh Rosen, Sam Darnold) Once in a generation, a quarterback comes along who will change the balance of power in the NFL.

When the NFL preseason concludes next Sunday, the media, fans, general managers and everyone else in between will attempt to label each of the quarterbacks selected in the first round of last April’s NFL Draft as a future Hall of Famer or a certified bust.

It’s been a while since we did one of these quasi-mailbag posts. Too long, some might say. Not long enough, others might say. In any case, you didn’t come here for my bad jokes. Let’s get to breaking down how fans think Notre Dame’s rematch with Clemson on Saturday will pan out — and what

Saturday won’t be the first time graduate student quarterback Ian Book and the presumptive top pick in the 2021 NFL Draft — Trevor Lawrence — will square off against one another. Lawrence beat out Book not only at the 2018 Cotton Bowl, but also at the Manning Passing Academy last summer. “His team won when

Well, we made it. In the words of grad student defensive end Daelin Hayes, “it’s Clemson week, baby.” We asked Notre Dame fans for one reason they felt the Irish would defeat or lose to the Tigers, and here’s what they came up with: Reasons for a Win No Trevor Lawrence Yeah, don’t think this

It’s rare for a coach to publicly admit that they are looking ahead on the schedule, but that is what Brian Kelly has done these past few weeks. Kelly said after the Pittsburgh game that his team was “looking ahead a little bit,” adding that the team needed to elevate their competition level before the
