Iowa Wide Receiver Turning Heads
- Thread starter Steamboat529529
- Start date
Everything regarding the failures of Iowa’s offense falls on the shoulders of KF and BF. KJ transferred out because he clearly didn’t want to play in this slow paced, no scheme/identity, minded offense that doesn’t try to score as many points as possible. So tired of the defenders of this craptastic offense and BF/KF.

You forgot "didn't have a competent, proven OC."
First, I'm not Caitlins brother or Dad so no. Second we gave him a chance to start and he bagged the season so he wouldn't lose a year if eligibility when he could have come back during the season. Several times during the year KF said he was progressing well, and he'd be back soon, and then bubkas. If he was all that, maybe he makes a few plays and we beat Nebraska, (you know the team his Dad played for, hmmm), and play in the B1g championship again. Dude played TWO plays in Iowa's last 15 games. What is it we're missing?
So your okay if ALL the players bag the whole season and just don't play then?
No, I personally would finish the season as best I could (but remember, he wasn’t playing because of an injury) and leave immediately after the bowl.
I usually am pretty understanding when kids move on but F KJ and his helicopter daddy. His faking an injury all last year to preserve his RS was a huge part of the offensive’s problem. “Me” guys never tend to pan out in the Iowa program. Hope he has fun living in Manhattan, Kansas lol.
he never played in more than 4 games last season. we knew then why.
No, it wasn’t..
We had the worst offensive line I’ve ever seen, causing everything else to suffer.
If a WR (such as Johnson) knows he’s got a lot to offer, why in the world would he continue to play in our offense. It was absolutely pathetic.
Yea, Iowa's best wide receiver and playmaker faking an injury and not playing all season totally didn't have anything to do with the offensive woes. Lol riiiight.
I never said he was the sole issue, but if you don't think his not playing didn't have an effect on our offense, you're lying to yourself.
Faking an injury? Is there any real proof of this? Kind of quit following this soap opera.
No. None at all. The fact that the best receiver in the country went through the same thing at Ohio State, same injury, same trying to return, same reinjury, people just gloss over. Smith-Njigba tried his hamstring against iowa. He ran a longer route towards us on the press box side/ endzone side in Columbus and pulled up. He never played another college snap.
I suffered through mental health issues watching that offense. F him though. I didn’t quit.
The two most important aspects of the offense i.e. the OL and QB were so bad, having KJ on the field would not have made a difference.
WRs are not able to get the ball when the quarterback is only able to execute a 2 or 3 step drop before having a defender in his face.
Saving his eligibility for a program where they throw the ball to wide receivers.
Makes me wonder if the staff knew, why even let him remain on the team or stand on the sideline for games with the team.
K, but we had a bowl game just a few months back and all of the sudden he can now play full speed with such a touchy injury that last a full year?
He was in the portal within a week after the Nebraska game. So he wasn’t playing in a bowl game.

He is not a Hawk anymore.
Well there are a lot of guys that aren’t hawks anymore that we might have feelings for: Brad Banks, Keagan Johnson, Tim Dwight, etc.
Nope and he didn't play in the one his freshman year either. Never once did we hear what the reason for that was either. And before anyone goes all "Hippa", in all my years of following Iowa football, I've NEVER once seen them not give any idea what a players supposed injury was.
Really? So your putting him in the same group as two former Iowa All Americans. Nice try.....
You are are right. Should look like this: Brad Banks, Charlie Jones, and Tim Dwight. All former hawks. All were all Americans!
Well they usually turned out to be skanky whores.
Irrelevant, our OC has not proven anything other than being one of the worst in the country - data proves that, regardless of injuries, it wasn't just a one-year disaster.
Well that's being a great teammate then isn't it?!?!??!!?? Didn't want to go into combat with his brothers?
KJ would have made a huge difference. Petras was bad but did have some nice throwing games. How much better would the offense have been with another playmaker? Much better.
Exactly. He didn’t give a sh!t. He had already checked out.
I mean to be fair after watching our offense from the sidelines for all but a couple games, I think a lot of us would have been checked out.
