Inside word: CJ is in fact hobbled by injury

Oh great ... You mean a sense of urgency now that the season is over?
If this is true, Iowa would just be throwing Stanley to the wolves. The O-line couldn't protect the QB from a team of girl scouts.
I heard this on that and I quote as good as I can, "It's hard to protect a car from getting hit in the middle of the intersection, when that car can't put the gear into drive without a two second delay"
Shouldn't the car in the middle of the intersection already be in gear? I can see if the driver is wasted and just parked in the middle of the intersection, which would explain the delay.
We might have a chance at a good season since the coaches haven't had time to screw Stanley up. Next year should be awesome as well. About his Jr year expect the terrible Ferentz offense to be in full swing.
Hard to throw a pass when the Tackle is being drove in to your back
Abominable outcome today aside, some truly great analogies in this thread. Please continue.
As soom as the kid makes some plays the following off season KF will grind him down about not making mistakes until his play becomes totally useless.
A matter of health actually. The car simply can't perform. One dude said it perfectly, "He simply can't move well enough to keep from aggravating his knee."
Hence the more he plays the worse it gets.
So now that the season is over the head coach is going to worry about CJ's bad knee and play Stanley. Got it.
Doesn't matter who's at quarterback if no one can block and no one can get open.
Hoping for the best here. CJ has been off since NDSU - and if I had to guess about half of the sacks are on him for not getting rid of the football or being able to sense pressure and move like he did last year.
Stanley may well be our best option.
Stanley may well be our best option.
I remember when cj was the one being begged for by the fans
Let's just get a decent OL developed first, then we can worry about QB.
well me too but if you watch old movies people had car phones in old thunderbird convertibles, handsets with wires. Must have been a radio repeater to lan line
People still want a healthy CJ all day long. IF he's not healthy, then we want the next man.
Not gonna happen, we'd rather lose games (clearly). The bomb to Jerminic was a duck that he had to wait for...that was not impressive but prepare to see more of it.
Ferentz will play CJ regardless of what injury he may or may not have. CJ could be out there on crutches and as long as he can stand there long enough to take a sack or throw the ball, he will be there. Wasn't it the Rutgers game that Stanley went in when CJ hurt his shoulder? Played well and got them into scoring range, then here is CJ wanting back in and got to go. A little kick in the face for Stanley I guess as I would have thought the coaches would have given him the opportunity to see if he could get it in. I am not against CJ by no means, but if he is playing injured as I think he is, why not put the back-up in? If CJ is the leader we all hear about, it should not make any difference to him to spread the responsibility around some.
Great if Stanley is doing well as Freshman. Nothing that happens at QB changes giving up 38 pts to NW and not being able to stop the run.
True but cj is playing like crap. He has no pocket presence, is taking way too long to decide what to do, is in slow motion it seems, is not running when he should. He seems like he is in a daze. And I have been one of his biggest supporters since day one.
Exactly.....I was at the game yesterday and watched as our tackles were simply manhandled.
You don't suppose the NFL draft talk is getting to him do you? I'm asking a serious question . Also how about the new baby ? Just trying to look for some underlying factors. It's a mystery for sure. I know the protection had been atrocious but something is off for sure with CJB
who was talking nfl draft with this guy? good grief. if stanzi and banks never made it in the nfl....
Well it seems a lot on here we're talking about CJB as a pro QB? Just seems something has got him off his game. I really wonder about him being more concerned about his family than football right now ? Not trying to flame just throwing out some ideas...
CJ came in on 3rd and long and threw a TD against NDSU if that's what you're referring to.
Considering everybody had him pegged as a top 5 senior QB, well, pretty much everybody was
I believe it was Iowalaw who said CJ has been off since Miami of Ohio, and that he was tentative to run and when he did, he seemed slow. I don't know if it's an injury or just weight gain, lack of flexibility, ultra conservative coaching seeping into his subconscious or just off field distractions, but go back and watch the first few games of the season...he was the same way then, but the defenses were worse so you didn't notice. Despite having a cannon for an arm that he showed 2 years ago in the bowl game, he refuses to throw the ball down the field as a senior. He's not confident, he's not fast, and he's not a fiery leader. Talent without confidence is useless and it loses to IAA teams and 1 win teams.
