True, but those passes are mostly short, higher percentage throws. He's 55th in completion percentage, but 120th in yards per completion.
OT: Spencer Petras

Yeah, but since (insert arbitrary date) there are only (insert some exclusive number) of teams have won more games than Iowa.
Who needs good QBs when you don’t play good teams very often?
You probably also have a philosophy of "who needs a wife when you have a blow up doll", don't you?
Gimme a break, the guy has been In college football for 5plus years and he still can’t gather himself to make that wide open throw? The excuse making for this guy is ridiculous.
I was watching the game when he fumbled. It was on a designed QB running play, and Petras actually looked good until the D knocked the ball out on the tackle.
Did BF ruin him?
Spencer's Stats so far this season:
Spencer's Stats so far this season:
Having a young OL and consistently playing against future NFL and elite pass rushers was not a great recipe for success for Spencer. I have watched Spence play a couple times this year and he is definitely not playing against the same caliber of defense as he did here at Iowa.

Spencer's Stats so far this season:
It just goes to show that trying to play QB with a line made of wet tissue paper, receivers who couldn’t catch a cold, and a play caller whose strategy books are probably all in the discount bin might have a slight impact on performance.
He wasn’t running for his life 2 seconds after the snap.I watched some of that game. It was hard to believe he's the same guy that played here. He looked ... good.
The Brian Ferentz/ Kirk Ferentz factor in destroying an offense can not be overstated.
Add in the lack of OL/WR talent and playing superior athletes on defense when at Iowa. We now have Petras on his 6th year... but Lighting up the WAC doesn't mean he will get a sniff in NFL. Petras still is a slow footed, plodder and the antithesis of what successful QB's in current NFL look like. The era of 6'5 pocket passers has passed at NFL and passed in college level even earlier.
Meanwhile I see Labas has 58% completion percentage and 1000 yards....not bad, not great.
I would rate Petras and Labas ahead of McNamara. The real question is why has McNamara looked so bad this year when he's had a strong running game to help him and an OC not named Brian Ferentz? I think the answer is his arm is shot and he's got grandpa legs and even if he were playing in WAC, he would not be lighting up the WAC.

Yeah. It's all pretty simple actually. The offense was completely broken under Brian, so it didn't really give anyone a chance to succeed, especially at QB. The offense is no longer broken, but it has been limited by a broken QB. We're seeing a functional offense for the first time in four years.
You’re paying dues for a free forum? You might be concussed from knocking down those trees brother.62-30 Boise St. over Petras - and we pay monthly dues to see these posters make
unintelligent, ignorant, dense, brainless, mindless, foolish, dull-witted, dunce-like, empty-headed and moronic remarks.
I am out of here like a 90 mile wind knocking the trees over like Kaleb

How about every conference? The B1G has 11 of them.
That post also read like an active concussion.
Nah I was told by my kids after blowing up balloons that "you're a good blower" so I'm going to hang on to that title.I don't really care about you BurgHawk boy
Petras was a broken QB at Iowa. HIs last highlight was the long ball against Penn St but years of getting hammered play after play and the poor scheming and poor receiver play killed him. But honestly I blame Brian for about 90% of it. Absolute boob. Lester was at least able to develop a solid running scheme where our back is not hit in the backfield 5-6 times a game and we're looking at 2nd and 10 or 2nd and 12. It's clear after watching Sullivan what just the threat of being able to run has done for our offense. It looks night and day better than McNamara being out there. Petras would not have done well here either. It's clear we need at least the threat of a mobile QB. Unfortunately it looks like we keep recruiting "pro style " QB's for our offense. Baffling.
