I don't think that Cade can lift his arm above his head anymore. He throws everything sidearm.Just me, but I thought Stratton had a peculiar throwing motion. .very mechanical.
But if Lester honestly likes him then I assume he is passable at minimum.
Cade can't give us the threat to make plays with his feet ala Sullivan and Cade knows this. He's been injured enough so he probably is just going to call it a day. He's been a wreck since fall camp last season.Cade is taking his NIL $$$ and going home it sounds like. Probably physically and mentally gassed at this point. And Iowa needs to see what it has at QB position before portal opens, all makes sense to give Jackson a 2 game audition here. Lester loves his arm talent and he does have some wiggle to his game like CJB.
We're gonna be running the wildcat with Wetjen by the end of the game............Yes he can with this line.
No faith in the pass block.
Only hope is he doesn’t get hurt like everyone else.
I watched that. They were very "careful" in their comments. They made it sound like Cade quit on the team but they didn't want to say that.I just listened to Leistikow and Dochterman talk about this. Doc said it was the strangest QB situation he has seen under Kirk. On Monday, Cade was announced as medically cleared and #1 on the depth chart, but has since seemed to disappear. They asked Kirk about the situation and he gave Kirk answers.
They think the big news will be if Cade travels to Maryland or not. They think not. Doc thinks Cade has taken his last snap as a Hawkeye.
I think that's very possible. The body can only take so much and the brain listens.Cade can't give us the threat to make plays with his feet ala Sullivan and Cade knows this. He's been injured enough so he probably is just going to call it a day. He's been a wreck since fall camp last season.
Or maybe head trauma is not worth it? I mean 3 more games max for him anyway. Most don't want him out there. I guess we will find out in a week for Senior Day at home huh?I watched that.

If he his healthy and KF wanted him to go and he didn't want to, that will likely close the sad chapter on Cade.
Could very well be. But it might have been a nice thing to at least stick around to backup and support the other guys.Cade can't give us the threat to make plays with his feet ala Sullivan and Cade knows this. He's been injured enough so he probably is just going to call it a day. He's been a wreck since fall camp last season.
I just hope we finally find a QB
I'm a mathematician and I've found these balls to be 100% accurate 60% of the time.
If that's the answer, then he's right. He can be physically able to go but you can't play of you're afraid of getting hurt - especially in the head.Or maybe head trauma is not worth it? I mean 3 more games max for him anyway. Most don't want him out there. I guess we will find out in a week for Senior Day at home huh?
Word is that Stratton can sling it. Which is exactly what we’ll need if Maryland tries to stack the box too much.
I look forward to seeing what he can do with a couple weeks of practice under his belt.
It did seems different to me in a positive way. That of which I hadn’t seen from an Iowa QB in awhile.Just me, but I thought Stratton had a peculiar throwing motion. .very mechanical.

Not at allSetting aside for the moment whether or not McNamara is finally at this point saying he's had enough, the entire mess with the QB situation is owned by Kirk.
He has completely failed in management of that position for multiple consecutive seasons, and other years throughout his tenure.
Um.... As we now know, he's only going with Stratton because there isn't anybody left. He's the only guy left in the room.It did seems different to me in a positive way. That of which I hadn’t seen from an Iowa QB in awhile.
Also, in reading between the lines, I think Kirk is really open to the idea to giving this kid a shot. Almost like telling Lester via the interview that he wants to go with JS.
I mentioned this before, but this is exactly what some guys from Michigan said he would do if he was forced to compete for the job.I know Cade is a transfer, but he doesn't seem like the type of guy to quit midseason.
I suspect that.....deep down, Cade really isn't a Hawkeye. I'm sure I'll get grief from some folks, but I'd bet he really doesn't give two $hits about The University of Iowa and the football program. Easy for me to see him being done.I know Cade is a transfer, but he doesn't seem like the type of guy to quit midseason.
This guy might have been prophetic.I know Cade is a transfer, but he doesn't seem like the type of guy to quit midseason.
Love to see that off and on throughout the game. Also QB sneaks with a TE. That would be fun.We're gonna be running the wildcat with Wetjen by the end of the game............
No thanks, I've seen it before. It ain't pretty..............Love to see that off and on throughout the game. Also QB sneaks with a TE. That would be fun.
I guess I need to go back further than 4 minutes, maybe watch entire 4thIf you want some affirmation about Stratton read Lester's comments about the way he likes the way he delivers the ball. You mentioned the bad pass that ended the last drive he also led us to a touchdown the drive before. I see this as a chance to give a talented young QB an opportunity to gain some valuable in game experience.
With deacon or Petras??No thanks, I've seen it before. It ain't pretty..............
It was already hell freezing over to see Sullivan go in, never in my life did I think I would see thatJust want the QB to not throw it to the other team. Then we might have a chance.
He looks good so far….glad that he is not buried on the LB depth chart….😉Best news I’ve heard all week about Iowa football. LFG Action Jackson!
Just me, but I thought Stratton had a peculiar throwing motion. .very mechanical.

Not so fast my friend! Shaggy looking very good so far….😎Tim Lester after calling a pass play tomorrow.
Listening to a podcast and their point is that Iowa shouldn’t waste a bunch of money on a QB in the portal because they have so many other positions to fill. Better to spread the money to some defensive players and an OL or two. Valid point.Not so fast my friend! Shaggy looking very good so far….😎
