He used to be a really good QB. I want to believe it's just a health issue that gets better as he heals up, but it feels like it's more than that.
So how did they break Cade?

He will be fine. Don’t overreact
He had a good pass protecting line and athletes that would bail him out for his insanely delayed decisions.
Deacon looked good on his passes. Very decisive, reminded me of Nate Chandler.
You're right. He's looked great today. All year really.
Not saying “great” but they absolutely went off today for the first time in a while. Just doesn’t seem like the right week for it. I’m sure the knives will really be out if he struggles at PSU but I think we curb stomp the rest of our schedule.
I'm a numbers guy, not an emotions guy. The running game was great. The oline looked crisper than it has all year.
Cade on the other hand continues to struggle to round back into form as he had the previous few games. He had the 97th best QBR coming in and it went down today. The Hawks can expect a really crowded box against PSU next week because Iowa's passing game isn't scaring anyone.
If Lachey is out, yeah, expect 9 in the box all game.
He looked like he belonged. Passes were sharp and on point except for the fade.
I was impressed. He's actually pretty agile for as big as he is too.
Brian could break Peyton Manning
The offense needs to evolve. They still have 3 quality tight ends with 2 of them being very good. I'd be more concerned about Cade looking more comfortable in the offense in general than he has so far. He's struggling right now.
Don’t want to be negative but that Lachey injury looked ugly. I’m not sure he’ll be back this season
I want to be put down for saying that Cade is going to play really well Saturday night. He’s a stud.
Break him?
Well, the last time he played he was surrounded by enough talent to make the national playoffs.
Now, not so much.

I'll be really surprised if this isn't a season ending injury for Lachey.
And if it is...things just got a lot more difficult for the Iowa offense.
Lol wut? Cade put up 41? Are you high?
Iowa has some work to do on offense there is no question about that and Cade needs to improve with his throws by making them early and looking off of his primary to the underneath. It will come with him. Much better than what we have seen the last few years.
Cade used to be decent. He was surrounded by a lot of talent. I feel like us Iowa fans forget he was benched for another QB even after taking a team to the playoffs. He’s better than recent QBs we have had but he isn’t all-Big like most fans were hoping.
He seems to be late on everything . Too many pump fakes . Just let her rip man….

Bro, Cade isn’t gonna magically turn into a heisman candidate. He is what he is, A middle of the pack qb. So far, he’s been less than that however which is disappointing. I hope he improves.
I must have missed his observation .
Guess it was pretty obvious…🫤
Paralysis by analysis. Our qbs play scared.
Cade threw for just over 100 yards and was sacked 4 times! Iowa is where QBs go to die!!
Truth
I have to be honest I’m a little disappointed. I do hope it’s due to his lingering injuries.
If iowa is going to compete he needs to be much better. FWIW I think we might have something in DH.
We must make our QBs think too much. They all seem so indecisive over the years. They only 2 that haven’t in recent memory are f it guys like Stanzi and Beathard.
Yes but Brian forced his hand by using that horrific to took away the middle of the field. Easier to defend.
What happened is that he got beat out at Michigan and decided to go to iowa because he had a great chance of playing. Here we are! While I will say I do think his legs are injured and that is not helping him.
Agreed. QB’s tend to play scared when they have a sieve for an OL. Our OL is better than last year, but not by much. They’re still kind of a mess.
Always the backup around here.
