Can’t really blame them. And good for Charlie.
Stats matter more to some programs and players than wins. This is evidence of that.
They forgot the L for the game.
He's got plenty of opportunities remaining for highlighting his skills AND to be a part of team wins.
Charlie made a good call. Time to let it go.

Nah, not until we've f***ing beaten them this year. Then, maybe....
ESPN Bad beats of the week!
Congrats Charlie and the rest of the boiler train wreck. BoilerUpchuck!

They forgot one stat line for him:
Record vs Penn State
2021: 1-0 2022: 0-1
Record vs Penn State
2021: 1-0 2022: 0-1
Remember, he was able to pad his stats against Penn St. We played the behemoth South Dakota St! Let him put up those numbers against the JackRabbits!!!

Tweets like that tend to backfire at times. Not the worst thing in the world. Just kind of a petty thing to do. Jones and the Purdue offensive performance kind of speak for itself.
Left his brothers to join a rival. Says a lot about him as a man
Oooooh! Now do the Tyrone Tracy tweet! 3 targets, 2 drops, 1 catch?
Kiss my ass Purdue.
And right after spring practice, not before. And the Iowa coaches are big enough they will never say a word.
Exactly. I didnt care about tracy leaving. Wouldnt of cared if Chucky Traitor left when he did if he wouldve gone to Baylor. But late transfer to a divison rival? Gfy bro.
Wow. That's quite a take. Then I guess it said a lot about Nick Saban when he left his brothers at LSU to join a rival (Alabama). And every other coach who's done the same thing in pursuit of the mighty dollar.
It's been explained and explained and explained, but I'm willing to spell it out for you and your buddies one more time:
Charlie Jones gave the Iowa staff spring practice to show him there would be a real QB competition and that there would be significant improvements to the passing game. Iowa showed none of those things, so even though Charlie would have preferred to stay in Iowa City, doing so would have meant wasting one more season, his final collegiate opportunity to develop his skills and give himself the best possible shot at a spot in the NFL.
So Charlie Jones did what anyone with a brain would have done. He joined a program that has a 21st century offense led by a QB that he grew up catching passes from. And after only one game, Charlie has shown what a great decision he made.
And for those who continually harp on Purdue losing to Penn State, get a grip. PU didn't lose because of Charlie. Meanwhile, Iowa's offense couldn't score against an FCS team, and Iowa's QB didn't pass any better than he ever has. If Charlie had suited up for Iowa vs. SDSU, he would have had zero catches for zero yards and zero TDs. But why oh why did he leave the mighty Hawkeyes?
LOL LOL LOL
Coaches dont live with the players. They dont wake up at 6am to squat and hang clean with the boys. They dont eat every meal or do every rep on the practice field. Big difference compared to the brotherhood of your peers.
Idgaf if he transfers to Purdue in January or transfers to Utah after the spring. But an intra divison transfer after spring ball? Once a hawk, never a hawk for that guy. And LOL at it being a business decision. The NFL will find you in NAIA if you can play.
When did Saban leave LSU to join Alabama?
With field position being much more of a priority this year, his departure may cost us a game or more.
Sadly, there are still plenty of Iowa fans who don’t get it.
I think Bruce can be a pretty damn good punt returner when given opportunities and more experience. He did a good job of not letting the ball bounce for lost field position and only really made the one mistake of a fair catch when he had a lot of room to run. I'm not too worried about the PR game, but losing an experience receiver with our dearth of depth is the bigger problem.
Before becoming HC at Alabama he was HC at LSU. Lost his last coached LSU game to Iowa via the 2005 Capitol One bowl Tate to Holloway miracle play.
It was 100% a business decision. Tape playing NAIA talent does not equal tape against Div 1 P5 talent. Case in point, Brandon Wegher set records left and right at NAIA Morningside and went undrafted. If he stays at Iowa or Oklahoma he’s undoubtedly drafted.
I like what Charlie brought to the field, but when did he become Cooper Kupp?
Probably Shonn Greene, but completely side stepping the point with that response.
David Bell was drafted after wideouts from North Dakota St, Western Michigan, and South Alabama. They dont give a shit, they know who can play.
Minor detail of Mr. Saban leaving for the Miami Dolphins before Alabama, but maybe facts.
I'm guessing you aren't concerned about the brothers he left at Buffalo. The Ferentz millionaires didn't live up to their end of the bargain with Charlie and lots of other players by being totally inept at leading respectable offenses, blame them.
I'm not sure if CJ is NFL material but those brothers won't be paying his bills after college so if getting 10x the receptions to put on his resume helps him earn a living by playing football in some capacity it was a great move. We shall see but I bet he has more fun catching all those passes and he'll probably beat Iowa
Those are all Div 1 schools not NAIA…kind of a big difference. No idea if CJ is good enough to make an NFL roster, but his best chance to do so is to have evidence and tape of his abilities against top level talent. In a single game at Purdue he’s almost halfway to his total stats from all of last year. It was a smart business decision regardless of how you feel as a fan.
The combine and physical measurements mean everything anymore. He very well could make a team, but he will be a late round draft pick at best.
He is gonna find out that everyone in the NFL is big and fast. I don't think Charlie will be durable enough.
Petty statement. Business decision for Charlie and so far it is looking like a good one. Listed 2nd Team coming out of Spring, so you might want to re-evaluate.
Yep.
I was at the game, and every time we trotted out for punt return, I said this is where we are going to miss him.
He was that spark.
You never knew if he'd run it back for a TD.
There was an NFL stop in between those two places. He didn't jump from one SEC team to another.
I thought Moss looked every bit as dangerous (and fast) as Jones on those post-safety kickoffs. Our punt return didn't have many great opportunities because there were so many short punts on short fields.
Lol this is the iowa fan board. Glad you guys care more about Charlie's stats than Iowa wins.
