Depth Chart for Maryland: Cade is QB1 & Jackson Stratton QB2
- Thread starter Franisdaman
- Start date
that and maybe the injuries caught up to him
i just hope we don't have a lot of "what the hell were they doing during the bye week" comments in the game thread and after
At the end of the day, QB1 and QB2 right now are really QB2 and QB3. This is the only scenario where I'd be okay with bringing McNamara back. If he plays just OK, which he can, we stand a chance of going 2-0 to end the regular season. Conversely, if jNW CM shows up again we could be looking 0-2 in the face.
I don't have current numbers but I read that Kirk was 2-8 in road games following a bye week as of 2018. They obviously lost this year so I would assume it's still pretty deep in the red. It's certainly not an advantage.
any chance they won't have to block 7 guys? pry not.
We are basically resetting the season back to the first half of the Northwestern game with Cade.
This helps.
More mobility/survivability since Oline pass blocking is basically nonexistent.
Huh. What a strange and unexpected turn of events. Either Cade wasn't cleared or Kirk is turning these decisions over to Lester.
If the Hawkeyes played Maryland today, Jackson Stratton would be their starter.
But Cade McNamara is cleared to play, and Marco Lainez is available. Iowa's "clearly cloudy" quarterback situation somehow gets even weirder.

If Iowa played Maryland tomorrow, walk-on, fourth-string transfer quarterback Jackson Stratton would start, per KF.
He kind of reminds me of Stanzi with his look and his build. Hope he can play that way.If the Hawkeyes played Maryland today, Jackson Stratton would be their starter.

"[Cade] is still processing back," Ferentz said. "He has been cleared to play, and whether or not he can play effectively or not, we'll see. We'll just see how the week goes. But we're prepared for anything, quite frankly."
I think we all know the answer to the question on whether or not Cade can play effectively.....

Sounds like Sully could be back for the bowl game.

why not just start Shaggy then?
As another poster has suggested maybe Lester convinced Kirk to go with Stratton. His comments about Cade may represent a way to talk around that. Murky as it all may seem things sound better than they did with Sullivan not likely lost for the season and Lainez starting to work his way back.

I don't like that that put Cade at QB1 if he's still not right in the head (literally)
We can have SOME nice things, but never the NICEST thing.
Maybe Kirk put Cade at QB1 as a token of appreciation. Lots of dynamics go on behind the scenes that we never know about.
Marylands game plan just got easy. stack. run blitz. pass blitz. blitz blitz. blitz blitz blitz.
It's sad that this is where we're at.
In Kirk's defense, Cade said he felt great and was cleared by the doctors.
And then he asked why coach Harbaugh wasn't at practice today.
Yeah please god don't let it be an SEC team for the bowl game. The days of beating ranked SEC teams is over for Kirk in the NIL era. Last year Tennessee had some freshman QB that probably cost a pretty penny and he absolutely destroyed us.
sounds like they won't make a final decision until Friday
Smoke a few doobies. It will help the head.
Buying high school players should not be allowed. They should be required to be on a roster for a year before any NIL is earned.
Why??? If someone wants to pay for someone's services then how can that be stopped?
Stratton. I hope they let the kid play it wide open. Nothing to lose at this point really.
