Kirk just announced, Cade would be #1 if game was tomorrow, Sullivan a close #2. Gave Marco some props as well.
Certainly a step up from disparaging them with no promptingi was surprised that kirk did not rule out playing 2 qbs and was amazed that he went out of the way to praise marco. might be the first time i've ever heard him praise the 3rd qb with no prompting.
i literally was remembering that instance when writing that post.Certainly a step up from disparaging them with no prompting
I hope you eat crow. I'm cautiously optimistic.yikes

And Stanzi was clearly the better of the two. Kirk will always be remembered for his ineptitude at evaluating QB play.Stanzi and Christiansen split reps the first 5 games in 08. They each had 10-15 pass attempts each game. I think we'll see something similar, hopefully only for the first 3 non conference games though, not the first 5.
I hope at least the top two QBs get some action in the first game.Kirk just announced, Cade would be #1 if game was tomorrow, Sullivan a close #2. Gave Marco some props as well.
Cade certainly does not suck. He has already shown that he is a very capable QB.Is it back to the norm for Kirk? Cade still sucks but he has tenure over Sullivan? I don't know how either are doing since kids day.
Agree.Cade certainly does not suck. He has already shown that he is a very capable QB.
At Michigan.Cade certainly does not suck. He has already shown that he is a very capable QB.
you mean with the benefit of harbaugh's intelligence gathering operations?At Michigan.
That should definitely happen, KF loves to split time between QB’s.Both should play about an equal amount of time vs. Illinois State. That would only be fair to the QBs and to the team. Practice is practice. Only the games matter, and anyone who evaluates athletes on practice alone is making a huge mistake.

This is undoubtedly the best our QB room has been since at least 2019.yikes

Which tells you just how far the offense has been allowed to slide. You can only ignore the passing game so much... eventually quarterbacks and wide receivers will cease to have interest. That's where we are. It's a self-created problem.This is undoubtedly the best our QB room has been since at least 2019.
And yet we have had two quality QB’s transfer in and some good WR’s as well.( Kaleb Brown, and Jacob Gill) .Which tells you just how far the offense has been allowed to slide.

Yes, but I'll play devil's advocate.And yet we have had two quality QB’s transfer in and some good WR’s as well.( Kaleb Brown, and Jacob Gill) .
Dripping sarcasm but you are correct as early season if the #1 QB is doing well then he needs to get all or as many snaps as possible for Kirk to get his offense well oiled. Remember even when Iowa has really good offenses they hardly ever come out of the gate at full efficiencyThat should definitely happen, KF loves to split time between QB’s.
Yet, much better than last year. Let that sink in.yikes

Well...you can't spell 'bleak' without 'beak'. And you know what has a beak? A hawk. And you know what else a hawk has? Eyes. And...ummm...you know what else is...it has....does.......yikes

KF is notorious for not playing two qbs even in games that are well decided. It’s almost like he tries to avoid a fan qb controversy or debate. I don’t think there is any ways the qb’s play an equal amount, but having packages for both and getting both meaningful playing time would be a huge step forward.Both should play about an equal amount of time vs. Illinois State. That would only be fair to the QBs and to the team. Practice is practice. Only the games matter, and anyone who evaluates athletes on practice alone is making a huge mistake.

I am in a bit of disagreement with Kirk hardly ever playing his 2nd string qb until late in games, usually very late, where all the #2 does is handoff. I think a 3 score 17+ point lead is safe enough with our defense to give the #2 a series early in the third, maybe late or early in the 4th. And if the lead is 4 scores let them finish the game using the full playbook to try to move the ball.That is a fair point, but even slipping in a few series for the #2 is a must. It’s not going to take away any meaningful reps and injuries are so common that you have to have your #2 ready.
Actually, I believe him on this. This is just as good as we are at QB.Is it back to the norm for Kirk? Cade still sucks but he has tenure over Sullivan? I don't know how either are doing since kids day.
Cade was injured in the kids day scrimmage last season. He was never at 100 percent. Let's see how a game or two go before throwing in the towel.Yes, but I'll play devil's advocate.
Neither QB has proven themselves yet. Prior to geting injured last year Cade had 4 TDs and 3 INTs against the weakest part of the schedule, 51% passing. His passer rating was 101, not a huge jump up from Hill @88. Brown had 215 yards and 1 TD. Gill looks promising but again, unproven.
BTW, why aren't we getting enough good recruits such that we have to rely on transfers?
Your statement "prior to getting injured" says it all. He was NEVER near 100% last season. Thats obvious. We'll see where he is in a few days..Yes, but I'll play devil's advocate.
