Compared to these qbs. He really needs to gain more pocket presence and maybe take off once in a while. That's all
Stanley is a statue
- Thread starter Kurt Warner
- Start date
He just needs to channel his inner Big Ben.
Stiff arm the DE, fade back rifle a 30 yard comeback route with defenders draped on his legs.

Yup, or even play like Nathan Chandler. Nate used to tuck it and run over people and Stanley is just about as big. There is no reason Stanley can't pick up some first downs with his feet.
Don't worry, making the opposition's defense account for our QB as a potential running threat has never been part of KF's MO. Ironically, two of his best years were with Brad Banks and Drew Tate as QBs. Even Nathan Chandler would pull it down every now and then. Had some big runs at crucial times during his career at Iowa.
He did it for 15 yards or so to Hockenson and tOSU. No reason he can t throw it for 30 next time.
Stanley not the runner Chandler was. Maybe that’s an area he can improve but speed not his forte
Chandler put the hurt on several Mich defenders during his time here, maybe even took out a few Gators in the Outback bowl that year.
He also needs to improve his field vision and quicken his decision making so he doesn't hold the ball so long. He's still raw.
Stanley threw 26 TD passes in his rookie year at
Iowa. The goal is to make him a more mobile QB.
He needs to show improvement when he starts his
junior year as a Hawkeye. He has Spring practice
and August practice with his team mates. In the
meantime he can workout on his own and get
stronger and better.

I don’t know that he needs to add running to his game, just extending plays, letting receivers uncover is probably what we need from him most. Heck he’s strong enough to run left and still zip one 25-30 yards to a floating receiver.
Fant and Hockenson are going to even more difficult to deal with next year. If they put in the time to become stronger in the running game and faster off the line it’s really going to stress opposing LB/S. The more attention they occupy the more room we’ll have out wide and in the flats.

Stanley is talented, but he is pocket passer. Can he improve, sure. However I'd also say we need an for improved O-line / improved pass protection/ improved identification of blitzes/hot routes/ plays to mitigate blitz like screens/ receivers that can get open/improved run blocking.
KF is called O-line guru and yet last year and NFL caliber QB Beathard and both our Tackles, we led the world in being sacked and near the bottom of NCAA in passing. This year they couldn't run block. There is one O-line University in B1G and it is Wisconsin.

He stands like a statue
Becomes part of the machine
Feeling all the rushers
Always throws it clean
He plays by intuition
The TD records fall
That great big Cheesehead
Sure plays some mean football!

joe moore.......
that said yes our line needs to improve vs last year.
at least in 2016 they'd open up some semi sized running lanes
This is spot-on and probably my biggest critique of Stanley. He really needs to pick up his progression abilities as well as his pre-snap reads. It was amazing to me watching fromm from Georgia last night changing plays at the line of scrimmage to touchdown plays as well as make perfect reads under heat.
If ya can't scramble in Kirk's system, be prepared for sacks, and a scoring offense ranked 104th.
