Spencer did everything asked of him to what I guess is the best of his ability. He didn’t choose who started. He worked his rear end off for Iowa. Everyone can move on from that.
Cade McNamara to Iowa
- Thread starter myteamcanbeatupyourteam
- Start date
I bet they are gonna be much more lenient with that. I also think Cade is probably gone after two years anyway if he plays decent.
Very happy we got this kid....athletically, he's gifted and a significant upgrade over Petras and Padilla. Watched his highlight reel. He does look quick and mobile but not a running QB. I'm ok with that. Most of the reel was throws where he had good protection and threw to wide open receivers. He does seem to get the ball out quickly. I also saw a number of plays where he threw back shoulder or threw the receiver open. I think this is a critical skill that our QBs were missing. That said, he had really good receivers....fast, good routes, and competed for the ball when they needed to.
Cade looks great on tape...and terrific from a statistical perspective. The Hawks will need serious upgrades to the O Line and WRs....or we'll waste what this kid could give us. It's a start....but we need so much more to fully maximize this QB. We need 2 good WRs and 2 good O linemen for sure. I'd take another TE as well. I think we are OK at RB....Kaleb and Leshon as a 1-2 combo....and I'd like to think we get carries and productivity from Patterson. Harshly speaking...I'm done with Gavin Williams.

Surprised there aren't people on here complaining that KF didn't pick up McNamara in the portal last year
This is a solid get for Iowa. Not the strongest arm but pretty accurate thrower and gives you some quickness on the edge that we don't have now. Lachey should be salivating. Now they just need to grab a couple WRs and things are looking decent.
I also like the fact that he has played in some huge games and played decently when the spotlight was on. Something I felt we lacked the last few years at that position.

He has been guaranteed the starting job plus he was given substantial NIL money and it has not been announced yet who will be his coach. Padilla was never given the opportunity to compete for the job.

Another bonus …he might have access to the Michigan playbook …if only some way he could get his hands on a copy

So what happens in this scenario: 1. Petras arm injury prevents him from playing in the bowl game; 2. Padilla won't play since he is in the portal; 3. Labas or May has a monster game in the bowl game. Would there be a quarterback competition in spring practice or would McNamara be given the job?
Read some Michigan fans' reactions. All note he is a big culture guy that was the driver in turning things around in Michigan. Kirk is probably taking anti-boner pills now. Just to keep it down.
You SUPPOSE there were a few whispers exchanged back when Michigan played Iowa in Iowa City? Kirk did the "how you doin;?" to Cade and slipped him his cell number?
I guess Cade was probably in California rehabbing? That is the weird part. You see stories where he was gone rehabbing elsewhere, but yet they waited on the surgery?

Why? Because Kirk is making all the calls here and we all know Brian isn't going anywhere because of this. Moving responsibilities around and getting rid of Barnett allowing Brian to coach the O-line/run game. Budmayr coaching QB's and coordinating the passing game is about as exotic as Kirk is going to get.
I’m like a crack addicted feeling a need for his next fix! Come on man any new info?
Vines got open too (some).
Of course, we have TEs too ... so Lachey would be a good target as well.
However, obviously, we're going to need to hit the portal for some WRs ... because we just don't have much depth there ... period!
Correct, and we need starter-types from the portal. If portal WRs can beat out the current guys that would be great and needed.
His TE is coming as well on the visit...
