I like your thinking - I for one am all about having him under center .. I love Deacon and his fire I just hope he can clean up some of these overthrown balls … at least they’re high up and not catchable for the defenders as I think he’s going to be a good one once he settles down. But if Cooper can play at a high level at QB then we should have him there and let him light em up …
Whether or not CDJ would be successful or not in the Iowa offense is a silly argument to have at this point in his college football career because we will never know. They're not going to implement him into the offense with only 6-8 games left to play, that would be foolish and also a disservice to CDJ and his future career opportunities. He's unlikely to return next year, why would we double his chances for injury just to get him involved in our mediocre offense for a half of a season? If he were a true freshman, then maybe. At this point, it's just silly and desperate.
Throwing him out there for damn near every game snap might be the dumbest idea ever floated on this message board, and that's saying a lot.

How do you say you know nothing about football without saying it. Putting Cooper in at QB would be a disastrously bad idea.
Whatever. They're FCS. The point is that they were his only other offer when Iowa offered.
I live in his area and I remember before he committed to Iowa, that Virginia was recruiting him for QB. Looks like they ended up not offering.
Cooper had no D1 offers to play QB. There was "interest" from a few schools, including Nebraska and apparently Virginia, but no offers.
Look, I'm not bashing the kid by saying I don't think his ability as a passer would translate from small town Iowa football to D1. There were 131 D1 schools looking at QBs and nobody offered him as a QB.
It doesn't matter. I love him. I wish he'd get some Wildcat plays. Run him a few times now to set up a pass out of it in the future.

Playing Coop at QB would just turn fans against him at this point. Nothing will work on offense as long as KF and BF are in charge of it. We could have the offensive talent of the 49ers but they'd struggle to score more than 17 points a game at best. Coop is where he needs to be to get to the next level.
