What you are jumping KF's shit for now is exactly what makes him a solid football coach. Everything is handled behind closed doors.
He has only been at Iowa 20 years so you may not have picked up on that yet.

I would actually strongly agree that we are "consistently inconsistent." We're about the most consistent team in the world. Somewhere bewteen #15 and #35 every year with a few sprinkle years of being in BCS/New Years Six bowls. Inconsistent would be like a Nebraska or Texas, where you have no clue where they'll be year in and year out.
Then hopefully we can use the Jedi Mind Trick to make him Heisman caliber every game.
I didn't hear Greise say that but I have been thinking the same for years.He throws behind his receivers a lot he also misses backs out of the backfield by yards he just doesn't possess much touch.
I don't see this guy as a pro prospect, yes he has a big arm but it end there ..Great kid,great family but not a great QB..
LOL exactly! KF only lets ppl play who practice hard - whether or not they are decent, or absolutely have no business playing fb. It's been this way for 19 years.
I agree 100%
This. At some point you are who you are. He is an inaccurate QB with a big arm and bad footwork and tends to get mentally rattled. Every once in a while he will put it together for a big game but that is the exception not the rule. He seems to lack any awareness when it comes to when he should scramble as well.
Damn, she found out about that quick.Yeah, it's @McLovin32 .
Pretty sure we're gonna see an HROT class action law suit.
A lot of dudes on HROT are pretty shaken.

Great point. After all, what does it do to a kid's confidence when he misses 31 throws, including 2 crushing INTs, and essentially loses a winnable game all by himself? I don't see that as a big boost to the ego.
If a kid strikes out four times and you pinch-hit for him, does that crush the kid's ego or say his career is over? No, it does say he's having a bad game and somebody else should get a chance.
You know what is scary....a few games ago when he (Stanley) threw a deep ball and it was almost as if he threw it straight up and it disappeared off the TV.....I told my buddies that I haven't seen an angle like that sense the Jake C. deep ball.
It appears the QB nor the Sideline had a clue. There was absolutely no reason for that play to unfold the way it did. Fant deserves no blame. Plain and simple a TO should have been called and it wasn’t.
Fair enough.......However, Nate has not had a good season.....just no comment it or something. I would like to see Kirk actually win a game that matters. There is no way they should have lost that game the other day........
Sure, we all know what Kirk really wants to do, right?
My God, we lost a football game. What you gonna do if your wife gives you an STD?
Peace out Dbleagle, there are worse things in life.
And I've experienced most of them.
We all have different expectations when it comes to a football program........your expectations are evidently not that high. That's good for Kirk..........It is ok to be frustrated about a game and write those frustrations on a board like this. Does it affect my life in the slightest? Nope. However, this is where I go when I am frustrated with my favorite football team. Next time, just don't read what I write..........
I’m more upset with the 4th and 1 throw when we had Hockenson Wide open!! The throw at the 3 was frustrating but that was cause everyone wasn’t on the same page.
All Stanley has to do is lob that pass up to Hockenson and let him stand there and catch it. There was no one w/in 10yds of him.
Damn this game will haunt Stanley, but like any good coach will say “don’t let them beat you twice” flush it and move on.

I was screaming at Nate Stanley like a mofo during the game. I just settled down quicker than you.
But my anger was off the charts Saturday. It’s why I don’t own guns.
From what I've seen of Manzel, Stanley is still the best QB on the team. I have to go with the coaches on this one. Look, Stanley had, hopefully, the worst game of his career Saturday. Hopefully he learns from it and comes back better than he was before the game. If this game gives him the mental fortitude to be a champion, then it will have been worth it. He will be back next year.
Wish he'd win a game that matters....hmmmm....can't help you there.
You are right that if Iowa gets average QB play they win that game going away on Saturday. That is why this Saturday is huge for Iowa and more specifically, Stanley. If he struggles I think there is a change....if for nothing more than a few series.
They always interview former coach Don Patterson on the allhawkeyes podcast monday mornings. He is regularly at practice and made it very clear this week Stanley is our best option. Peyton is a solid backup QB but he is the backup QB for a reason.
Some perspective -
Nate Stanley is - 137/244 56.1% , 1,764 yards (7.23 yards per att) 16 TD's, 8 INT.
In 2009 (Junior year) Ricky Stanzi was 221/345 56.3% 2,417 yards, (7.01 yards per att)17 TD's, 15 INT. BTW, I believe he had 6 pick sixes.
Stanzi is regarded as being one of the best in Iowa history (usually Top 5 or better). Stanley is wildly inconsistent, a mental midget with no pocket presence and no touch, and is being compared to Jake C.
"Now it's up to you, but you might consider cuttin' the kid a little slack."

I wonder how many of the Stanzi pick 6 games we lost. Seems like we had them right where we wanted them whenever he threw one of those.
And make no mistake DJK and McNutt were the best WR combo Iowa has ever had. Stanzi had those dudes catching balls.
Actually, I don't think the Hawks lost any of them. They were 11-2. First loss was the infamous fumble, broken ankle in the end-zone against NW. Second loss was OSU and he did not play.
