Are you sure he is paying a QB coach?If Marco passing Deacon is true, I guess Lester got rid of the union cards.
Regarding Marco's accuracy issues: in the offseason, he pays a QB Coach. Why doesn't that guy fix the flaws?
Plenty of (most?) sons aren’t clones of their fathers. Brian’s offense was different from that of the other three OCs under Kirk. Why do you assume it was exactly what Kirk wanted all along? Kirk set the parameters, but the rest was Brian’s, just as it was with Ken and Greg, and is with Tim.

One needs to remove their rose tinted glasses when it comes to Cade.
Brian would have been better off if Gary had fired him. It would have spared him a lot of public ridicule.
I don't know what's funnier - already declaring Marco a "miss," or blaming Barnes, as if he were the one out scouting QB talent.
Well I don't know what to tell ya bud but it's from a guy who other insiders seem to think highly of. Apparently the kids throwing motion is dog shit and they don't think he has the top end to compete at this level.
He made 900k when no one else would have touched him. You can spare me with 9/10ths of a million dollars whenever you would like.
You can’t be serious. You are laying out the exact same scenario as that 5 star QB who transferred from Clemson to NW, and was a complete disaster. Why was he a disaster? Because there was nothing suggesting he could play in college other than his rating from high school.
I think the problem is too many clowns think recruiting rankings are like NCAA 14 video game rankings... they struggle to separate video games from reality.
Pres. Wilson would have fired Barta and BF mid-season last fall if GB had not retired.
Not sure if it is an arm strength issue or he just needs practice, but his sideline throws were pretty weak at the spring game. I would fully agree that his game film was ridiculous, and his scramble ability vs Tennessee would put him up there with Banks.
Too bad Resar didn't enroll in the spring. I do beleive that a true FR QB that can run and throw a bit is a better option than DH if forced into action. You would think theres a player on the team that played HS QB could be switched to QB for this emergency situation.
Sullivan would not be starting this year, he would be the projected starter for next year, same with Marco, that is why the 3rd year in the program was stated.
I'd be very surprised if Resar sticks at the qb position. This would also mean Iowa is down to its 3rd stringer for the season.
What part about Cade's injury history gives you confidence he'll be able to go all season?
Well it was non contact. And read literature on if one ACL really begets another ACL.
It might as well have been Barnes given the production we've seen from the position these last 4 years. Between the recruiting, coaching, and development it's been 100% Ferentz led over the last several years and some people still want Kirk leading the charge on that front. It's incredible.
It's been discussed at length by different prognosticators, the scouting report on 247 lays it out nicely. He is an elite athlete that will likely find the field at a different position.
Barta stepped to a podium last year and actually said that not only was Brian Ferentz "qualified" to be Iowa's OC, he said Brian Ferentz was "uniquely qualified" because of his history at Iowa and growing up with the program.
Hopefully, Lester can right the ship and actually teach mechanics to the QBs.
Link? Or is this from some rando? He looked decent at the spring game with plays made by his legs and arm. I don't buy into this crap at this point. He needs to work on his out throws, but we should be excited for him to see the field at some point.
Barring a portal qb, I anticipate split duty this year sparing CM from needless reps especially early on and using Marco as a change of pace guy. Both to diversify the offensive looks and to develop/evaluate Marco. This would be a big stretch for KF but maybe Lester will have that sway. To my eye Resar has the big hitch in his throwing motion🤷♂️.
How long before someone goes with ‘rather get his cousin Tight instead….’
He showed good arm strength in His HS film, not sure what is up , it could have just been a dead arm period all pitchers get in the ramp up process , end of spring , double reps it could have just been as simple as that .
There is no link. Most people on this board know Beth was pressured by Her to use the out that Barta set up.
And make no mistake at all, old Gar Bar was suggested out the door by the Prez. He didn't just say, hmm I think I want to stop now and go mow the grass for the rest of my life.
Maybe they need to find a new QB coach to go to, this TR guy has not been impressive with the ones from Iowa. Stanley was far away the best of those 3 (thus far), but that was an "average" QB, nothing eye-popping.Tony Racioppi is the offseason QB coach for Marco, Spencer Petras & Nate Stanley.
Check out this thread:
Marco Lainez has same QB Coach (Tony Racioppi) as Nate Stanley & Spencer Petras. His answer to whom he models his game after: “The great Brad Banks”
I love this kid already. January, 2023 (when he plans to early enroll) cannot come soon enough.
