In August, I published a piece comparing current Notre Dame Fighting Irish quarterback Brandon Wimbush to his six of his predecessors at the position: DeShone Kizer, Everett Golson, Tommy Rees, Jimmy Clausen, Brady Quinn and Carlyle Holiday.
I anticipated the reaction to the post, which was a mixture of “Holy crap! This is a cool way to think about it!” to “Totally unfair to compare Ty Willingham-coached teams to Brian Kelly in year eight.”
I acknowledge a true statistician may be able to find a fairer comparison.
