I am one of those crazy fans that doesn`t always think the backup QB is the better option. I have not heard or seen anything that makes me think ML is a good option in the long term. I hope that ML and BS prove me wrong and are great QBs moving forward but I believe they will be looking hard in the portal.
Before Petras, we had 4-of-5 straight starting qbs drafted in the nfl:
They were also recruited as wr's. I get that we're desperate for receivers and possibly it works out but again it's another huge reach. Nobody wants to play receiver at Iowa and catch 1-2 balls a game at max.
It isn't about thinking he's a better option currently, but there is no reason for him not to sit and hopefully develop. Now the I can fully understand the argument of Iowa's track record of developing QBs. I'd say Iowa has their QB for next year in Sullivan with Marco as the back up, the following year, then I'd agree we need a portal target. If we are spending portal money it should be on OL and DL/CBs IMO
Solomon played QB in high school and the coaches let him begin fall camp there before moving him to WR after a practice or two. IIRC, KF said he was better than they expected at QB, but still felt he would fit best at WR.
If you're going by production, Iowa has lacked a QB in nearly every class for the past 7 years or so.
I don't think you have the information to know whether or not I have the information to make that judgement.
I'm more interested in his 40 time than 100 meters.
We have the portal, that's worked out well for our QB room so far! lol
Lmao.
I don’t know that you can make that assumption about Lester yet. Maybe it was his assessment of Resar that led to the switch. Resar was a Brian/Kirk guy so...
Leistikow and Dochterman said matter of factly that Hill was only running with the ones in the spring to install the offense, not because he was obviously better than Lainez.
No it is an Identifying , Coaching and Developmental problem, They get some Guys who can play and hacksaw off their nutsacks because of Geriatric Gene AKA Kirk oh and compounded the spay and neuter problem by having His make a wish Son as OC till this Year and recently the Gift from God for the rest of the B1G helping in the QB room . You really expect any QB to thrive and develop in that kind of situation ran by complete imbeciles ?
And Lester said matter of factly that he evaluated Hill to be ahead of Lainez because he was getting through the progressions better than Lainez was.
Can you source your info? Because I can source mine.
Vander Zee was a WR JR year and moved to QB his last year to maximize his touches.
But will Resar still be in school when Sullivan can become the starting QB his senior year?
They basically cut DH after spring ball and kept ML. That tells you all you need to know.
Hill transferring tells you that the staff feels Lainez to have the better future.
In order to install an offense to the benefit of the other players on offense, not because he was ever going to play Hill and not because of any evaluation above and beyond who could run his offense better during install. Stop trying to use that as a stick to say Lester can't evaluate QB talent. Good Lord!
Do we even know if this rumor that there has been a position change is even true ?
