It is possible for a qb to both run AND throw. It’s actually even been done in games a few times, if you can believe it. Not really an Iowa thing. Too exotic for Kirk.

"Electric" was running around a lot, nothing more

Well, compared to the statues Iowa has had at quarterback recently, he looked like greased lightning.

See Brad Banks. Beathard and Stanzi were both mobile.

Apparently- it’s impossible for Iowa to get a top 20 qb.

Even if we did he'd have to operate in our system which is TE heavy and our Olines have to block better than they have here recently. Having a QB who can keep drives alive with their feet seems to be a must in today's college or even pro football.

Wasn’t a great video. The pocket appears to collapse a lot, the routes are still going to the sideline, and his throws were not accurate

But then every throw has to go 30 yards sideways

Kirk said this afternoon that the QB pecking order is this:

QB1: Cade
QB2: Brendan
QB3: Marco

Yes, those past seasons stand out even more starkly by being exceptions in his long tenure.

"Electric" was running around a lot, nothing more

51 yards on 6 carries. Facts.

 

[BirdistheWord]

Iowa scored 0 points.

Moral victories are still an L, man

For his first effort I thought he did pretty well. He had no O coordinator, terrible wr’s, 3rd and 4th string TE and below average o line. He needed some help.

 

[QChawks]

he’d make a great safety

And this isn’t a new development. If you’re not throwing “lights out” like Aaron Rogers or Tom Brady, you need legs.

But we can’t seem to make sense of it in Iowa City.

 

[LIV4GOD]

He looked terrible.

Agreed. Chronically throws behind the receiver.

He or it is an idiot troll probably popping zits on his face in moms basement

At minimum they should bring him in at slot on some plays for some jet sweeps, could always branch a pass off the concept. Or some other packaged plays.

Need to keep him engaged as a qb that can run like that is rare at Iowa. If the game slows down for him and he improves at passing, he could be a program changer.

 

[shanksit44]

Not sure that’s fair. Let’s add some context. He was facing a very good defense that knew he must pass. DL had their ears pinned back on the rush and throwing at 6 DBs knowing a pass was coming.

Plus pinning their ears back against our O-line wasn’t much of a deterrent.

Hopefully that’s history because if there’s little or no improvement there…………………it’s gonna be another long season.
