Yeah, This year. As in bowl game. Long time till spring practice. If Lainez stays he will be Cade's backup.

Right. If he sticks around he knows he’s not deserving of playing time but wants to stay on scholarship and continue on being a career backup.
That leads us to the recruiting conversation, of course.
I can’t understand why these backups wouldn’t get snaps in the Citrus.Yeah, This year. As in bowl game. Long time till spring practice. If Lainez stays he will be Cade's backup.
Is that what quarterbacks do at Iowa? Hmmm not sure I agree with ya there.He does believe in this head coach (even if you 2 don’t) and despite his dad, @littlez or his uncle, you telling him to leave…he will stay and continue to grow.
He’ll wait it out a year…,
Because you know, all the successful coaches regularly play the wrong guys….actually, if you read as many message boards as me, you'd find dopey fans on everyone of them constantly saying just that…
You guys probably thought you were the only fans who had a good coach who played the wrong QB…..nope, your on every board!
As per our QB recruiting it has sucked indeed! As has our OL and Wr. But everybody has something I’m still happy to win 10 games.

“Exactly” there is always an out for chaps. That’s exactly where I was heading. Thanks for not drawing it out.
My guess is, Marco will stay, because he is a freshman, and as you’ve already fleshed out if he stays it is indicative of the fact he isn’t mad as hell like you guys.

So at one time we did? So you’re saying that as in the past? Because you’d be right. For once. And I’ll also agree KOK was a damn good offensive mind. We have none of that in the room now. Now you can continue to argue about I don’t know what, as you’ve admitted we have no idea what we’re doing in the QB room these days.Dude I’m not sure you could find your arse with both hands, so really, I’d doubt you’d know.
At one time we had decent QBs, but it’s been awhile. KOK was a good OC in my mind.
You're a weird guy. Where did I say Marco should leave? I want him to stay and see if he is our QB of the future. Also, no one, and I mean no one cares when you share personal things about you and your family. It's creepy.Oh, so you think Marco should transfer too? Are you his uncle then ?
And if he doesn’t then what? Does it mean he is dumb? Or ok with the decision? Knew he wasn’t ready? Not hungry?
What?!

But what about Deacon? Unless he eats himself out of his uniform.No other options. You’re not going to get a better qb, so why spend the $$, ride Cade, get Marco all the spring and summer reps, so he’ll be up to speed and ready to go. Go with Cade and Marco (dual threat qb) if needed.
Quite frankly I can't see any D3 or lower program taking Deacon. Those programs all have mobile QBs.It will all depend on the new OC and the timing of his hiring.
What I totally expect is that the new OC won't be named until after the bowl game, but whenever he is named, it will likely be someone in house or someone nobody has ever heard of and wouldn't be hired at any other P5 program as OC. In that case, I expect nothing to change. DH will get all the bowl prep snaps and he will be the answer in 2024 for a yet-again injured Cade.
In my fantasy world, the new OC will be named in the next few weeks, and it is someone with credibility. While I wouldn't expect him to take over coaching duties for the bowl game, I think he could at least have a conversation with DH and encourage him to transfer to a D-III school so that Iowa can move forward with QB development for the future. That way ML can get all the bowl prep and play in the Citrus Bowl. I would expect this new fantasy OC to bring in an experienced, talented QB from a G5 program (there are a LOT of good QB's playing at that level) or someone from a P5 program unhappy with his situation for whatever reason. I'm ok with Cade being the assumed QB1, with ML and the transfer being well-prepared to play and/or take over in '25.
I copied your post brother. “At one time we had decent Quarterbacks.” Your words not mine. I made no assumptions.For once…LOL. All that shows is you have no clue what you’re even arguing. Sigh….
And you’ve made assumptions about what I think. That’s on you….
Why the unprovoked hostility, good Sir?Dude I’m not sure you could find your arse with both hands, so really, I’d doubt you’d know.

Here’s a fun fact, too. Deacon Hill is a third year sophomore, so he still has two years to play (I think he’s a year too young to get the extra Covid year but don’t know that for a fact). After McNamara uses up his eligibility next year, Hill could be named the starter for the 2025 season.Quite frankly I can't see any D3 or lower program taking Deacon. Those programs all have mobile QBs.
Deacon is here to stay. For the life of me I can't see what Budmayre saw or sees in Deacon.
Chair yoga.Kirks got a plan to help deacon lose weight! That should help his slow throwing motion and lack of pocket awareness! Right…. Right???
He came in as a one legged qb and return as an injury waiting to happen, good grief he gets hurt just runningSince his practice time will be limited, his mobility questionable and two years removed from meaningful competition. Did I mention his suspect track record of injury? Not optimistic and this is no rag on CM but simply the state of the offensive fb situation at Iowa. NIL money better spent elsewhere?
He cant run, he cant throw, he turns the ball over but damn ya cant hurt him so we dont even NEED a backup. 😎Hate to burst your bubble, but outside of an injury, there is no way in hell anyone except Hill gets meaningful bowl reps. And Hill might not be a great QB, but he has been shown to be very durable. 🙂

Only @cmhawks99 could say our QB recruiting has sucked, as has our o line and wide receivers. But besides that the offense is great! lol!Do you live in a cave?
Eminently logical, but I think we all know the chances of that happening.Marco start bowl game and get all practice reps. Then if it isn’t promising you go all in the second round of portal for a solid backup looking for a shot
He hired the DC from UCLA.You’re kind of obsessed with Lincoln Riley so I’ll try to answer. Lincoln is clearly a 1 side of the ball guy. It’s all he cares about and involves himself in from what we can see. He was really loyal to his long time coordinator (similar to Kirk and Brian) before firing him mid season. I’m not sure either guy can (or wants) to change. But as an Iowa fan I really don’t care what Lincoln does. I want us to get better.
It could get like Justin Fields with the Bears though where he is almost broken.I can’t understand why these backups wouldn’t get snaps in the Citrus.
We. Can’t. Get. Worse.
And?It could get like Justin Fields with the Bears though where he is almost broken.
Hasn’t helped, but let’s be fair…been a team effort.Cade experiment ruined the season
He’s been the catalyst.Hasn’t helped, but let’s be fair…been a team effort.
Actually it’s Kirk’s fault not Cade’s. Everyone but Kirk could see he couldn’t do it.Hasn’t helped, but let’s be fair…been a team effort.
Cade was the catalyst for the defense taking a step back this year?He’s been the catalyst.
