If anyone was hitting 50% on long balls, they would do little else.Stanley’s long ball was also a weakness, which is a strength of Petras from what I’ve read.
if Stanley could have hit even 50% of those long balls, Iowa was a one loss team.

Ok, 50% might be too high. My point is Stanley missed a lot of wide open long balls. Supposedly this is a strength of Petras.If anyone was hitting 50% on long balls, they would do little else.

And it's only considered a strength because we haven't really seen him yet...
You know if you just read these threads, and never watched Iowa play you'd think Stanley was some scrub who played like crap and lost most of his games as a starter. Can't run, indecisive in the pocket, poor accuracy, on and on and on. For Christ sake the guy must have had some kind of game. Won an average of nine games per year in his three years as starter. Second most TD's 68, and yrds 8300+ in school history, in one less season as a starter then Long. As for Petras, I hope he's all that and a bag of chips. Throwing long balls up for grabs in high school isn't the same thing as doing it against BIG caliber DB's either. We'll find out next season what he's got. At this point I'd be happy if he's at least as good as his predecessor.
We should have run Nate more the last two seasons. When we were blocking for it he could power out some runs. From what I've heard Spencer is pretty fast and can get through holes when the play presents itself.
He may not have the power of Nate but I think Spencer will be a pretty accurate.

I totally agree, thats why I think a lot of this criticism of him is ridiculous. Yes, he has some weak areas, but you read all these posts and you'd think he was terrible or something. I know I'm constantly slaying the sacred cow, but he is twice the athlete that Long was, (and yes I saw every game he played), and I know for a fact that had this site been around then folks would have been ripping on him for much of his time at Iowa as well. Just the nature of the beast, but if you go back and look objectively at Stanleys career, he was a very good player and leader for this team for the last three years.If the recent redshirt rule was in place when Stanley was a Freshman, He would be completely rewriting the record book next year.

Reality isn't always negative. I'm not alone in this thought on Stanley. Read his NFL evaluation. Anyway, I posted what I did not as a slight to Stanley but as something that Iowa can possibly improve on with Petras.He also dropped quite a few dimes as well. I guess it matters if you are always focusing on the negatives.

I think it depends. If those receivers are wide open, I'd say that's a horrible number. If they in close coverage, that would be a great number.What would you say to a completion percentage of 42% on Deep balls?
I think you may be disappointed.

yeah..one bad day like all QBs have. You may be disappointed...
Spencer HS stats
Senior: 4157 yds, 50 TDs, 2 int, 64% passing
Rushed 223 yds for 9 TDs
Junior: 3346 yds, 40 TDs passing, 310 yds for 7 TDs rushing
never saw numbers like that for any senior.
As in the Athletic Article recently....this was against stiff regional competition.
Hey ...happy with any of our QBs we currently have.
Just pointing out other “data”.

That is from over 2 years ago. He looks like a little kid there. Have you seen stats lately?I think you may be disappointed.

I'd be pretty happy if Petra's arm and legs and accuracy were as good as Stanley's.
Stanley was accurate? Since when?
This is not Nate Stanley-bashing but we should all hope for a more accurate quarterback moving forward.I'd be pretty happy if Petra's arm and legs and accuracy were as good as Stanley's.

I don't expect too many folks to be content if Petras' arm, legs, and accuracy are "as good as Stanley's." A lot of room for improvement.
if petras also matches Nate's 10-3, I'd be very happy.This is not Nate Stanley-bashing but we should all hope for a more accurate quarterback moving forward.
