We have the biggest quarterback battle for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish Brewing
0:03
CJ Carr, Steve Angeli, Kenny Manchi, who's coming out on top? We had a prediction recently that made me beg the question
0:11
are we underrating the upside of Steve Angeli? Let's talk about it now
0:18
Ryan Roberts from A to Z Sports, bringing out everything Notre Dame football, spring practice, folks
0:22
and that means that we are amidst the biggest quarterback battle we have seen
0:25
with the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in quite a long time. Steve Angeli, Kenny Minchie, CJ Carr
0:31
Everybody has their preference. Everybody has their pick. Want to talk about, on a recent podcast, Always College Football
0:38
which, of course, is from Greg McElroy, famous college football yst, former national champion for the Alabama Crimson Tide
0:45
and a pretty good yst, in my opinion. Does a really good job. He made a prediction for the starting quarterback job
0:52
and more a backing for Steve Angeli. And I want to read real quick
0:57
We'll drop the link in the description for this show. You can see the video of Greg McElroy But I want to just kind of read briefly just a transcript from his excerpt on Steve Angeli and what he likes about him in this quarterback battle and the upside that he
1:13
brings to the table. And here's that transcription now. McIlroy said, I've seen Steve Angeli thrust into action against a tenacious pass rush in
1:20
Penn State and one of the best defenses in the country. I saw Steve Angeli go into the lineup and just methodically go right down the field
1:28
accurately carving up a defense. Who is to say that Steve Vangeli's ceiling when the lights are on isn't outrageously high
1:36
We've seen him make one start and was a couple years ago. What if when he fast-forwards to this year, Steve Vangeli has some awakening
1:44
and all of a sudden, he has the second coming of Joe Burrow? Remember now, Joe Burrow at Ohio State was just a guy
1:51
In his first year at LSU, he was just a guy. While Steve Vangeli, up until this point in his career, solid, just a guy
1:59
Maybe there's another level in there. We just don't know about because when the game flipped in Joe Burrow's final season
2:05
when he got a chance to run an offense that was built for him, look what happens
2:10
Maybe that in there for Steve Angeli Obviously some big words and a comparison that people are now going to kind of hyper on a little bit for McIlroy
2:20
but a very intriguing one. Now, obviously, I don't think that this is necessarily a prediction that Steve Angeli is going to end up being Joe Burrow
2:26
I don't think that McIlroy, as the smart college football yst, is predicting him to throw 60 touchdowns this year
2:32
for a national championship team and go first overall in the 2026 NFL Draft
2:37
I don't think that's necessarily what the prediction here is. But it is very interesting because it brings up an interesting conversation
2:45
that we haven't had a ton of. When we think about CJ Carr, we think about Kenny Minchie
2:50
those are usually the guys that we talk about as the high upside picks in the room at quarterback
2:55
When you talk about Steve Angelli, most people talk about the floor. They talk about the intangibles
3:00
They talk about he probably won't turn the ball over much. They probably will do what's there and not take a bunch of bad negatives
3:06
Like, he's the guy that is seen as safe in this quarterback spot
3:10
And I would like to just kind of beg the question here, because I don't know the answer to this one, honestly
3:16
Are we underrating the upside of what Steve Angeli can do in Notre Dame offense On paper he is a 6 plus 210 quarterback with pretty good arm live arm for the most part decent athlete I know his pocket
3:32
awareness needs a little bit of fine-tuning and development, but overall, there are some tools
3:38
to work with. So, I'm interested to see how the coaching staff sees this one in the end. If it is
3:43
Steve Angeli, is it just about the floor or is it more about a ceiling conversation that we haven't
3:49
had as a collective? So folks, I want to hear from you. For me, I don't buy the upside bit as far as
3:56
compared to the other two. Do I think that we have maybe undersold Steve as a talent based upon the
4:02
fact that we have some of us have fallen a liking to CJ Carr, Kenny Minchie? I think that's possible
4:08
So I want to hear from you in the chat. Put it in the comment section right now. Are we underrating
4:13
the upside of Steve Vangeli. If Steve Vangeli is the quarterback one for Notre Dame in 2025
4:19
what is Notre Dame's record? What type of stats is he putting up? I want to hear from you
4:23
