Agreed. Holding a clipboard and sending in signals to the worst QB in college football does not sound fun.Why would he stay...is the better question
Assuming Petras doesn’t use his COVID year, why wouldn’t he? Iowa is probably his best shot to start at a major school next year.Agreed. Holding a clipboard and sending in signals to the worst QB in college football does not sound fun.
Of the two, I'd keep Labas for the future.I fear that Labas will never see the field, and will transfer as a result.
Because one or both are going to start next year.Unless either Alex or Joey just like the University and want to get their degrees from Iowa, why would they stay.

Different games in the same season. Maybe if Kirk isn't tied to a QB then it will be a real competition. He's definitely married to Petras this season it seems.Trying to figure out how both can start 🤔
Thanks Blair. 👍He's a fourth year junior (Class of 2019) so one normal year left plus his Covid year, if he chooses to use it, gives him two more years of eligibility remaining.
Doesn’t matter, people saying he gone in December.
Unless either Alex or Joey just like the University and want to get their degrees from Iowa, why would they stay.
Not playing is being treated sh*tty? Must be that participation ribbon mentality.With how sh*tty the guy's been treated by our coaches I don't expect him to be here next year and won't blame him a bit for transferring.
With as horrible as SP has played for the last few seasons? Yeah. KF is 100% devoted to SP and there are other guys who have committed themselves just as much to the Iowa program who deserve a smidge of loyalty and respect from their HC as well.Not playing is being treated sh*tty?

I can see Spencer coming back next year. That would really suck.
So, just so we're clear, Ferentz treats them sh*tty. Right?With as horrible as SP has played for the last few seasons? Yeah. KF is 100% devoted to SP and there are other guys who have committed themselves just as much to the Iowa program who deserve a smidge of loyalty and respect from their HC as well.
And keeping SP in there at all times the way KF has is the definition of "participation ribbon mentality." Heckuva kid, amazing in practice. Lol.
C’mon now cupcake.Not playing is being treated sh*tty? Must be that participation ribbon mentality.
AP may indeed transfer, but as to who's going to "let him play". I don't see many P5 level teams bringing in a 5th year guy with the numbers he's put up, (agreed with limited reps), and making him their starter. I also have a hard time believing that after him staying this off season, and knowing the situation as he did with SP ahead of him that he's going to go down a level just to play for a year once he's graduated fro Iowa.If Petras plays the entire year, I can see him coming back next season. Padilla, I think is probably gone after the semester to a school who will let him play. Labas, I think will stay, at least one more year, and take his chances playing next season. However, if Petras stinks most of the season the off season will not be fun for Kirk with the fans. If Kirk thinks its bad now, and Petras struggles all season, Kirk will end up being the most hated guy in Iowa by next season.
I think a head coach reserving the near entirety of his loyalty and devotion for one guy when there are others at the position who've worked just as hard and are just as dedicated to the program does equal treating them sh*tty. I think KF standing up at a microphone and saying that if he'd been forced to play Deuce Hogan at Nebraska he wouldn't have even left Iowa City equals treating him sh*tty. I think being up 27 points against Nevada and not giving Padilla a single snap late in the game equals treating him sh*tty.So, just so we're clear, Ferentz treats them sh*tty. Right?
This about sums it up, I thinkI think a head coach reserving the near entirety of his loyalty and devotion for one guy when there are others at the position who've worked just as hard and are just as dedicated to the program does equal treating them sh*tty.

Both are going to start? That’s a good one. If either starts, with Kirk’s track record, the other guy will sit for another two years.Because one or both are going to start next year.
I think you should take a break from Iowa football if you think that Kirk is risking his entire legacy by not playing Padilla.This about sums it up, I think
KF is in danger of losing the fan base--and it's not just about wins and losses, but about respect, and his capacity to do the right thing
If there is some legit reason why he's not letting Padilla see the field, like injury or something, then he'd better damn well come out with it. I don't know if KF recognizes what he's risking here, which is his entire legacy as head FB coach
Because he is next in line for the crown. Just like Charles was.Why would he stay...is the better question
There were no empty seats last Saturday in Kinnick and there won't be against Michigan eitherThis about sums it up, I think

No. Kirk Ferentz is NOT at risk of losing the fan base. Dumb thing to say, Dummy. Quit projecting yourself onto the fan base.This about sums it up, I think

No way. He already looks like he can't wait for his football career to be over. His face reminds me of the kid whose parents are making him take piano lessons.I can see Spencer coming back next year. That would really suck.
No way in hell he will be back.I can see Spencer coming back next year. That would really suck.
Don't know either guy but what proof do you have that one is just as dedicated and just as hard of a worker as the other?I think a head coach reserving the near entirety of his loyalty and devotion for one guy when there are others at the position who've worked just as hard and are just as dedicated to the program does equal treating them sh*tty.

Didn't KF say there was an open QB competition between them going into the spring? I can't imagine he's going to give Padilla a legitimate shot as the starter if he hasn't shown he's willing to work just as hard as SP.Don't know either guy but what proof do you have that one is just as dedicated and just as hard of a worker as the other?
Bullshit.No way. He already looks like he can't wait for his football career to be over. His face reminds me of the kid whose parents are making him take piano lessons.
Why wouldn't he? Of course there is a decently high probability that he returns. You don't think he's trying to make it to the next level? I can all but promise you he wants a chance to come back, prove himself, and get drafted after year 6.No way in hell he will be back.
