VOTE/DISCUSS: When Cade is cleared to play, will KF start him? Or, will KF start Sully & rotate Cade in? Or, is it Sully's FULL TIME Job to Lose?
- Thread starter Franisdaman
- Start date
Just hope he doesn't come out overhyped and have a couple of quick turnovers......
I took it as him being evasive, although coaches typically don't rotate QBs during a series except for specialty plays.
Lester hasn't been on staff long enough to be a bootlicker.
I actually give an F. Who is it? Spill it. 😉
(FWIW, it’s apparently not Lutmer or White, per Leistikow.)
I figured someone would find some extreme outlier and try some kind of “gotcha.”
Can’t wait to see Stratton in the NFL.
How about Matt McCloin at Penn State or Stetson Bennett at Georgia? They both made the NFL (Bennett currently). Who knows how good Stratton might be (not you), but a lot of teams use walk-ons for depth, and a few manage to outperform any reasonable expectations. And as I noted, Stratton was a scholarship guy out of high school and likely has one already promised as an incentive to come to Iowa.
C’mon man, you’re better than that. QB1 is concussed. QB2 is starting. QB3 is hurt. QB4 was moved to WR by Lester (and is hurt). All of them are scholarship. QB5 is a walkon.
Look at his screen-name. Pretty par for the course for him
Coming from one of the board’s biggest KF-fellators, that’s rich.
Glad so many people are happy with the QB room. If KF has proven anything it’s that he knows his stuff regarding QB’s. I guess I should be thrilled that we might have to count on a guy who couldn’t see the field for 5-7 Colorado St last season to help us win games this year….
Dude, no one's thrilled that we're down to QB5 as the backup, but stop making it seem like it's something that should have been prepared for or like someone dropped the ball. Yeah, teams should always assume they'll be down to their 5th string during the year and just stock up on scholarship QBs.
If Sullivan doesn’t perform, he won’t stay number one. He needs to move the chains and not throw turnovers.
I would hope they don’t limit him this weekend trying not to get him hurt and instead just play to win. Sully had very conservative play calling while he was in against NW and the passing game was completely shut down with about 8 minutes left.
So, typical Iowa offense in the 4th quarter with a lead.
Lester brought in Stratton along with Sully after working with Hill and Lainez during spring practice. He obviously wasn't comfortable with only those two guys plus an incoming freshman to back up a recovering McNamara. Getting Hill to move along and bringing in Sully and Stratton was a definite upgrade to the QB room, even if not ideal. I get not having confidence in KF's evaluation of QBs, but surely Lester knows a thing or two. There was talk during fall camp that Stratton could overtake Lainez for QB3, although we haven't seen that reflected in any released depth chart.
One thing I think we can all agree on is that we don't want to see Stratton taking any snaps on Saturday unless it's mop-up work as the Hawks are cruising to a W.
Great points.
I hope Lester has a good game plan and Sully plays a clean game.
Wisconsin will want to try to get Iowa into 3rd and longs and make Sully beat them with the pass.
Surely, they will take advantage of his legs....right? Just need to be smart and slide or run out of bounds.
A win over Wisconsin would make quite the statement for him
Is Sully the most athletic QB in the Ferentz era? Sullivan is REALLY fast.

Take the reigns, leave no doubt.
Iowa hasn't beaten Wisconsin 3 straight times in 20 years (since 2004).

Two quick points from the Kakert podcast this week, for those who might give an F:
- Lainez apparently has a broken thumb, which is the reason he will be unavailable Saturday, and probably longer.
- The emergency QB behind Stratton is Kyler Gerardy, a freshman DB. Was apparently at pretty good QB at North Scott.
