Well **** I guess Iowa FB never changes. Looks like we are in for another year of QB crap

Too early.
I liked what I saw of sully vs Iowa last year.

He threw for 81 yards and NW put up 7 points. He didn't turn the ball over though.

You're right, but what we have seen in game from McNamara has not really been all that good.

He helped Michigan win the BIG 10 championship. But besides that, you are correct.

Low and absolutely embarrassing.

I know Joey Labas was rumored to be a pothead, and probably was, but I would take Labas stoned any day over Deacon Hill.

Hill was the worst quarterback in the country last year. I know when things aren’t going well, everyone’s favorite quarterback is the one on the sideline signaling in plays, but there was literally no downside to trying a different quarterback last year. Hill was that bad.

Competition/depth is good….right? 😉

An article that I read pointed out the Cade was playing against the first team defense, while Sullivan was playing against the second team.

That was not always the case at last Saturday’s scrimmage.

Remember people talking about how Deacon was going to QB sneak people to death...... 😆

If our guys are blocking up our front 7, then that is huge. And I don’t think Lester gives a single frick about “balance”.

I think this is a much bigger priority than QB.

Our wiz kid WR coach doubled down on Deacon. Recruited him to both Wisc and Iowa. SMH

Talking time is over for KF, it's all legacy now. I'm just going to enjoy it for what it is.

Stanely was pretty good?

Three-year starter at Iowa went 27-12 and threw for 8,302 yards with 68 TDs and 23 INTs. Ranks 2nd in Hawkeye history in career TD passes (68), 2nd in passing yards (8,302) and 3rd in total offense

This is one of those cases where stats don't tell the whole story. He was just pretty good. Most of the time he didn't "elevate" the offense and I think his numbers actually went down over his career, iirc. He was not a special QB. We haven't had one of those since 2002. We have QBs we win with, not because of.

Yet couldn't move the pile an inch?

On the plus side, the OL and running have repeatedly look quite good.

Plus was 3-0 in bowl games.

(Stanzi also 3-0)

Still have special place for Stanzi in my heart though as he was QB during my college years in Iowa City.

If Iowa had a Stanley quality QB every year, they would never not win 10 games. He was more than serviceable.

His yards went up every year with his senior year being the highest, his completion percentage went up every year, only thing that wasn't his high his senior year was TD's dropped off after throwing 26 his first two years. So that's not right.

If you don't think Tate, Stanzi and Beathard weren't the reason Iowa won some games there's really no point in talking about any of it because they absolutely did. Hell they were the only reason we won some games.
