Warms my heart to see NFL - Notre Dame QB stats!

[TheGlovStillRules]

Notre Dame quarterbacks have now lost their past 24 regular-season starts​

This information comes to us via Elias Sports, and is absolutely eye-opening. Looking at the past four Notre Dame products to start NFL regular-season games, they have lost 24 consecutive starts.



That list includes Brady Quinn (four consecutive losses), Jimmy Clausen (four), DeShone Kizer (15) and the aforementioned Book (one). It’s the longest said streak in the NFL since 1950. Overall, the records of these quarterbacks are just stunningly bad.

• Brady Quinn: 4-16
• Jimmy Clausen: 1-13
• DeShone Kizer: 0-15
• Ian Book: 0-1

Yes, that’s a combined 5-45 record for former Notre Dame quarterbacks at the NFL level.

We also did some more digging on our end. It tells us a story of former Irish signal callers who just have not lived up to expectations at the professional level.

• Rick Mirer: 24-44
• Kent Graham: 17-21
• Steve Beuerlein: 47-55
• Blair Kiel: 0-3
• Rusty Lisch: 0-1

Before that? Well, Joe Montana was the third-round pick of the San Francisco 49ers back in 1979. It’s been a long time since a Notre Dame quarterback has had success in the NFL.
