Lol. You guys are exceptionally stupid. Did anyone honestly think Iowa was going to start spring practice with Lainez as the #(1), with Cade being off the field?
Marco has to beat Deacon out. They are in competition for the spot and almost all of us expect Lainez to win that competition. But I don't see how anyone could have expected the spot to have been given to Marco coming into spring practice

Lolololol....
Yeah after last year's humdinger of a season by Deacon, it's going to be a steep hill to climb.
He shouldn’t be getting reps now, in June, in September, or anytime.
Why are they doing this….
If Lainez can’t beat Deacon out he should just retire.
Yes. And why wouldn’t he be?
Hill got alllll those in-season reps and showed us he isn’t a good quarterback.
ML shouldn't have to "beat out" Deacon. Deacon's performance last year did enough to earn Lainez the position this year. For a coach who values ball security above all else to come out and name a guy who was a turnover machine as the starter just shows he's either clueless, senile, or on a personal vendetta to drive Iowa football into the ground.
Folks, we currently don’t have a QB in the room to run Lester’s offense. Let’s hope our D is elite and we can muster up an effective run game against loaded boxes.
was is anyone surprised?
we knew from the depth chart last month that Deacon was QB2 and Marco was QB3
and with Cade out with injury, why would anyone be surprised Deacon is getting QB1 snaps this morning?
this is KF's program we are talking about, after all
Apparently Lainez is yet another failure in the long history by this staff and its previous OC of recruiting QBs.
I remember watching last falls open practice when Cade tweaked his knee and fatty went in.
I thought to myself this guy is terrible after throwing like his 5th interception. They can’t be saying anything along the lines that he does great in practice and it just doesn’t translate during game-day.

lol with Hills numbers from last year that should be enough to grab anyone off the street and make them qb1, Hill should not even be on the roster.
Agreed. I will not watch another Iowa football game where he is the starter. If he goes off and proves the 90% of us wrong, maybe. But if this is the best Kirk can come up with, after years of dogshit offense, he can eff right the eff off.
This is an unbelievably bad take.
106th (dead last) - Passing Efficiency
149th - Passing TDs
125th - Passing Yards
108th - Passing Yards per Game
106th (dead last) - Passing Yards per Completion
DH threw 5 TDs vs. 8 INTs and 6 fumbles lost last season. This is the guy who apparently has to be beaten out for the #1 QB spot at Iowa. Go get 'em Kirk!
Running read option with Lainez would move the chains much better than trying to rely on Hill to throw the ball. That is a fact! A ton more upside with Lainez.
if by end of spring practice and marco still can't beat out deacon then he should feel extremely embarrassed and should just quit and go get a job at walmart
Just think about that statement in light of everything we saw last year and in the bowl game. Really let it sink in.
Most discouraging is the information that he is still fat. If true, that should tell us something.
Pull the football out from me again, but I’m counting on Hill not being the guy in the fall, with or without Cade.

Unfortunately, he’s right about Ferentz’s approach to the quarterback situation.
It is an open competition right now even though it shouldn’t be. It shouldn’t be an open competition because Deacon Hill has no future as a P5 quarterback. None. He is severely limited and practice and experience won’t change that.
Marco Lainez at least has a chance to be decent. He needs all the reps he can get with the first team and shouldn’t be splitting them with a quarterback who has no future or dare I say…upside.
There's no other P5 program in the country that would've come out of last season, after everything played out the way it did, saying DH was still their #1 QB on the depth chart.
I'm starting to think KF is willingly sabotaging this program's offense as a way to try saving his son's professional reputation.
I will say based off player comments and videos it definitely looks different. Saw tons of shotgun today.
KF continues to show why he shouldn't be head coach of anything, what a fing joke!
problem is he can look better in practice and be better in practice but KF will just have that feeling Hill will be better in games so he will have him higher...if I was Marco i would be in the transfer portal asap to get away from this shit show!
But perhaps he does beat him out, but still doesn't get the call. We've seen that crap before.
Where's the graphic for strip-sacks, air-mails, passes behind receivers, and just mind-blowingly-stupid-ass plays?he gives us the best chance to win
For the last 6 years our offensive line hasn't given our QB's any time to throw the ball. The D linemen are hanging all over our QB's. If they don't get sacked they get knocked down on almost every attempt. Very few times have we seen a clean pocket. Tough to evaluate QB's when you can't pass protect. And you can't run block worth a crap either. It starts upfront boys....
What’s really sad is he probably isn’t the best option, yet there he is.
Kirk Ferentz is nothing if not consistent.
That is close to what I was going to say .
Iowa will have have on hell of a Hill to climb if Deacon is taking meaningful snaps.
I’d imagine at most schools Lainez would beat Hill out.
Unfortunately for us, they’re at Iowa.
Deacon “10 wins” Hill is going to get the call every time.
