Hey Cade Haters, haha

In their defense, it was all based on Kirk saying Cade had been cleared to play, but now Cade says he hasn't been cleared to play. So obviously someone isn't telling the truth in the football facility.
Plus, maybe vision problems and the shaking of the head meant mental problems to them

Agreed. the whole 1st on the depth chart, cleared to play, no longer playing, Lainez back, Sullivan out for season but now potentially available in an emergency. All the cryptic stuff lined up like that. I'm sure we'll never know the real story.

Maybe they just need to ask the "tough questions". kidding.

Could be a simple as he was cleared but concussion symptoms came back in practice and back to concussion protocol he went. Head injuries are weird.

This. I'm sure they thought once he was cleared to practice, three weeks out from the concussion, he'd be able to go. Wasn't the case.

KF is from the Belicheck school of thought, give the media just enough information to get the PC over with and on to important things. The man is 67, he's not on social media and I doubt he gives two sh1ts what anyone says or speculates on the web. Good for him.
 
Cade haters? That's dumb.

I certainly don't hate him or any other player.

McNamara has been an often injured and poorly performing player since he got here. It was another miss in evaluation by KF and staff to bring him in that they further compounded by continuing to run him out there as qb1. I'm A-OK with him moving on and more than ready for the staff to finally move on from him. No ill will at all toward the guy.
 
He seems to be a good teammate and dedicated to Hawkeye football. I'm sure he is more disappointed with his play than anyone else. Except maybe some gamblers around town! LOL
Every player comes in with high expectations, but many times things don't work out for various reasons.
what he said...
 
if you believe that statement you are a mark. go watch a PT Barnum circus. lmfao.

Iowa has released a statement confirming.


Per Keith Murphy on X.....

Matt Weitzel, Associate AD for Strategic Communications, provides further information on Cade McNamara and Jermari Harris not playing at Maryland, and saying the hope is both play against Nebraska:

"Cade McNamara has not been cleared to play against Maryland. His status was a topic of discussion during Tuesday’s weekly news conference. In reviewing the transcript and the Q & A, Coach Ferentz misstated that Cade had been cleared to play, he had been cleared to practice.

Q. Cade being back at the top of the depth chart, has he been cleared, and if so --
KIRK FERENTZ: Yeah, I wrote that on Sunday. He practiced Sunday. Everything is cloudy right now. That's kind of our forecast. It clearly is cloudy right now. Everything is. We'll just take it day by day and see who can go.
Q. I wanted to get some clarity with Cade. You said he practiced Sunday. Did he have a setback or is he still in that process of coming back?
KIRK FERENTZ: Still processing back. 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.

"The second player of interest is Jermari Harris, who will not play in Saturday’s game due to a medical issue. We hope all our student-athletes can play next week in our regular season finale at Kinnick Stadium, however, a player’s health and wellbeing are always our top priority."

I don’t remember seeing one person who wasn’t thrilled he was coming to the Hawks. Revisionist history is always 20/20.

Right? Clearly the fans are at least as responsible for evaluating potential transfers as the staff who are getting paid millions of dollars to do exactly that. And clearly the staff has done an excellent job with QB evaluations over the past 7 years or so given all the success that we've seen at that position since Stanley was recruited in 2016.

I think fans eventually realized at Michigan, CM was surrounded by way more talent than when he got to IC.

So his shortcomings were obvious sooner.
I don't believe anyone questions his effort, but he doesn't really have any strengths.
Regardless, the $$$ has been spent and it's history soon.

At Iowa it seems the swings like the one for CM never work out.
The AIRBHG seems to have morphed into the AIQBHG....sigh....
Nothing personal against Cade. He's just not that good.
 
Ah yes, the magical concussion he came down with after he threw the pick 6 against NW. And then the concussion relapse this week😂😂😂. It’s all bullshit
You do understand that concussion protocol isn’t just - I have a headache and can’t play, correct? There are actual medical people involved, not just know it all fans.
