If Cade starts next week…
- Thread starter ItsAllBallBearingsNowadays
- Start date
With a concussion and over the years grueling recovery from surgeries, Cade is probably content sitting on the bench. He's played most of the year. Ferenz has often cared more of his friendship with a quarterback than other players on his teams
Kirk is just trying to get the most out his NIL investment. He will not concede🤣
The tv announcers certainly noticed the difference in the defense with Sullivans threat to run.
you haven't watch Kirk and his QB selections his entire career have you.
Never underestimate the stupidity of KF
If Cade starts again, I'm never watching Iowa football ever again
Cade wouldn't but I wonder if the rest of the team would. There is a spark with Sullivan.
I'm starting to come around to this but I still don't trust KF.
I don't think it's necessarily stupidity. Kirk's been seeing what everyone else has for many months. Cade hasn't got it, and Sully is a much better fit. I'm now 100% certain that Kirk felt a level of commitment to Cade that, regardless of how bad he was, and Cade was bad, that he would remain QB1 for as long as he was at Iowa. Now that everyone else knows what he and Lester have known for months, there is just no putting that toothpaste back in the tube.
Be careful, folks with absolutely nothing better to do than scour your posting and viewing history will be waiting with bated breath. 🙄
So much for giving your team the best chance to win. Also, so much for being committed to the other 80-100 guys in the program.
I think that's his fallback message when he has nothing concrete to fall back on as to why he wouldn't make the change. There is no chance that he really believed this given what's occurred over the last 2 games. Kirk's not an offensive guru, but he's also not a blind idiot.
Petras turned out to be the best bet in his years. One might argue the cause the cause but the Hill results are undeniable. McCabe wasn't very good and Hill was terrible and Stanzi was hurt. So, you cannot really fault much but the Hill thing.
The difference is very stark. Larger, very mobile QB without any turnovers and a career completion rate of 68.8%. Oh, and no turnovers this season.
Justified in the minds of pitiful depressed personalities that are either: naturally joyless and morose or have an obsessive and nihilistic hatred of the winningest coach in school history. Either way is pitiful. A sad way to approach something that is supposed to be pleasant. If your hatred of Ferentz is so controlling that you roll off a 42-10 win against a border rivalry, running the ball right up their gut for 329 and 4 rushing TDs feeling so angry you had to vent your anger-as your initial reaction perhaps Iowa is simply not your team. You seem like maybe a Domer or Crimson Tide kind of guy. The underdogs aren't going to ever fill your expectations.
Were you the guy that killed the dance music at parties and played Cat's in Cradle instead?
I will concede that KF has become too afraid of mistakes. The last 5 seasons have been very different that the previous 20. Now Iowa was playing low scoring defensive games with a roomful of QBs that scared him. Now we have shown the ability to score with a very different offense. We could have taken a shot with Sully immediately after the tOSU game. That's just my take and I am very aggressive and very flexible, well mentally flexible anyway.
Or maybe the reality is that Sully was always clearly the best option, but that Kirk was going to play Cade regardless out of a sense of loyalty and commitment to him. The injury simply made that obvious to everyone outside the room.
Didn't really put the girls in a very amorous train of thought. Chapin was great-just not at a party.
Cade will start.
You can feel it.
Kirk can't help himself.
Ferentz rhymes with parents

Can someone explain this to me? Stanzi hurt? McCabe? Not sure what either have to do with Petras and Hill.
The fact that Petras started a third season for KF and Iowa is beyond excuse and forgiveness. There’s really nothing more that needs said other than that.
How about Cade's in the Pocket:
Cade was all healed the other day
He said, Give me the ball Coach, we'll beat UCLA
Can you teach me to run, Kirk said-a Not today,
I got some film to watch, Cade said that's okay
And he walked away but he smiled as he did,
He said, I'm still gonna play Friday, yeah
You know I'm gonna play Friday
And now Cade's in the pocket and he's dropping back
Can't get the pass off and he gets sacked
"Are you gonna bench Cade?" the media ask,
Kirk just snorts and laughs
He chuckles and he snorts and laughs
KF has always been a decision-maker that favors reliability over potential. He eventually comes around, but it's always typically later than it should be. If you go back to his decisions regarding QBs, he's always eventually made the right call, but often times a loss or 2 too late.
I think this year plays out the same. I think he made the wrong call, I think he knows he made the wrong call now in hindsight (though he'll never admit it), but now that Sully has led us to 79 points in the last 7 quarters he's played in, KF will stick with him the rest of the way....especially since he's the starter in waiting for next year.

Which statement is true from this morning?
A. Iowa football was playing 2 Pac this morning at practice.
B. Cade was taking snaps with the 1s.

There was no reason for him to comment about McNamara at all in answer to that question. It comes across as getting in a dig at the end.
This board would implode in Kirk started Cade. I feel for Cade, but he has not performed and has made bank. S, I am sure he will be just fine. This is about the team. That game on Staurday was a RIOT!!! Crowd was super into it!!!!
Sorry, but thats not accurate either. The sideline reporter asked Kirk if Sullys performance meant he was the starter going forward. Kirk said he thought Sully played well, (he said GREAT twice) and then he said "we'll be happy to have Cade back as well". The reporters question was in reference to BOTH players. I don't see why many are trying to make his statement into something. Well , I'll take that back, I do see why some people are trying to make it in to something. Just the way things go here. I mean why is that a big deal. Is it possible that he's happy to have Cade back for depth since we only have one other QB on the damn roster now?
He's much more football savvy than the Internet posters.
You can see the future? Rewatch the Washington game. Cade did just fine, use Sully when needed to confuse their d.
