I'm not saying crap until I read Iowacoleslaws unhinged diatribe about him.
2025 QB Commit Jimmy Sullivan can Fly
- Thread starter Franisdaman
- Start date
Not sure about Iowas offensive scheming has evolved at all to benefit from these recruits and their supposed mobility. In fact I’d say the opposite; the offense has evolved not at all and in fact defaults to QBs KF and BF seem comfortable with; Tall statues that supposedly can sit in a pocket and hit TEs over the middle and throw out patterns. Our issue with scheme has been an ability for our OL to form a pocket, our QBs to throw accurate passes in a timely manner, our receivers inability to get space for a decent completion percentage and yardage gain.
Running QBs recruited? ok
Ability to actually create an offense to utilize said mobility? Nope
None of them has started a game yet, but when one of them did play, he ran for about 50 yards in two series.
I suspect a couple of them will have positive rushing yards in the coming years.
If only Iowa were about to run a completely different offense going forward, we might find out, but alas, just more of Brian Ferentz’ offense. I wish they’d have fired him and hired somebody with a different philosophy.😔
Why stay stuck in the past? The most mobile quarterbacks in the program Lainez and Resar coming in are both really young. I think things will look really different immediately with the RPO and the new offensive scheme let alone when the more mobile quarterbacks take the helm.
None of the QB's were even good enough to start yet design running plays for! I am sure of that.
Two of them aren’t even on campus yet, Hawkeye super fan.
This is a lesson in “never click on ignored posters.”
Clones or Huskers?
You mean it was all just a beautiful dream? Damn you Birky. Damn you!
Ryan Fitzgerald quote "It is a PWO with them already having a commit," Fitzgerald said. "Coach Lester loves the kid already going there but also wanted to give me the chance to compete for a spot."

To be clear; I was referring to the past regimes. Hoping current regime knows how to utilize the parts and pieces they have.
Fitzgeralds and Sullivans. Revenge of the Irish! We have a McNamara who is either Irish or Scottish.
If the offense was better those guys would most likely have stayed. 1 hand feeds the other.
I recently watched BTN's replay of the 2000 game at PSU. It was a big win for the Ferentz era - the first road victory. Kyle McCann got the start and was more mobile than I remember. There were several designed QB runs and he moved well in the pocket. He was 25-37 for 252 yards and 1 TD passing, and had 16 carries for 49 yards (that includes sacks). Fans like to dump on McCann (calling him McCan't, etc.), but he was a solid QB that KF inherited from Hayden. It's recency bias to say that KF doesn't like or want mobility at the QB position. It will be nice to see it again on the field.
