What’s the Upside?

It could be 56-0 and no one else will take a snap. We’ve seen this before…
Me and a buddy just talked about this. You’re right. Will likely hit some national circuits tomorrow.
Hey in one of Hayden’s later years at Iowa we were down to OSU 56-7 at halftime. Maybe there’s hope
Petras QBR rating is dead last for players who've taken 200 snaps or more.
What's the upside?!? Anyone else. My god.

Maybe Padilla would be better at running for his life with the current Oline.
They kind of came back.Hey in one of Hayden’s later years at Iowa we were down to OSU 56-7 at halftime. Maybe there’s hope
Still shouldn’t say it publicly and definitely not as dickish as it came across last year.
How would they or you for that matter know that? Just by adding Proctor? Hoping that Britt can finally stay healthy?
dang kirk he just showed you up!
he's way better at getting rid of qbs!!

Listened to it today and I think a lot of us here heard what we wanted to hear (which is not necessarily what was said).
Me personally, I heard Brian basically admit the run game is broken and our offense (as directed by the head coach) is predicated on a run-first mentality. I also heard that they don’t trust the backs to depend on them out in the flat/check-down and interpret that to mean they don’t trust their hands yet. That removes one helpful tool to help bail us out (think what Akrum did for us a few years ago). There is no help coming at receiver.
They’re playing chess with pawns and knights and nothing else. It’s not Brian, its direction coming down from the top. I’m leaning more that Kirk must utilize the portal and show a willingness to use that more.
O-Line is still the weakest link. I think BF meant to say trotting out AP would yield the same or worse results. There still are few people to throw to and no one to block. If AP runs and gets hit we either send him to the doctors or he risks turnovers getting hit.

I was floored when he said that. If I was any of our backups, I couldn’t hit the portal fast enough
I think I’d take that right now.
Still blindly supporting the status quo I see.
So the better option is to just stand there, take the sack, still risk the turnover, and hope to punt?
That plan isn’t going so well right now.
The odds are against Iowa making a bowl.
I agree. What BF said was 10x more insulting than what KF said in jest about Deuce last year.
It's freaking bizarre at this point. Watch Kirk chew his gum on the sideline. What adult does that, he's acting like a nut. Is he all there, he looks like a psycho. I'm beginning to wonder.
JFC, why do you keep going back to this? Just as dumb in this thread as every other one.
1) Deuce being QB3 on a high-quality offense like Kentucky does not mean he is not better than every QB on Iowa's roster, especially Petras
2) So, according to you it's ok to rip on a player buried in the depth chart in a press conference
BF is clearly in a no-win situation today.
His many detractors were going to rip him no matter what he said.
Just figure it out Brian.

I hate to say it, but I have a close source at practice every day that says he probably agrees with BF’s assessment of the qb position. Says our backups in practice look really bad. Said today was pretty brutal in practice. He didn’t elaborate, but said May and Labas can’t even seem to break the huddle correctly.
That is 100% on the coaching staff in recruiting and player development at the QB position.
Interesting but I do question the last statement...break the huddle correctly? Labas has been on the team for 2 years, but what's the Padilla story? There are simply no words at this point..
Good point. Lets keep doing what we are doing. The stat you put out clearly shows how everyone except you and pistachio are silly by thinking we we are really bad at offense and perhaps we should give others the opportunity to ball just like we have at every other position on the field. If anecdotes and stats don't jive... You are usually measuring things wrong.
“I’ll take ‘Things I regret saying’ for $500 please, Alex.”
Ol' Doodle heard the same thing from a reliable source. May is a notorious low clapper. Guys don't even know when he's breaking the huddle and when he's waving weirdly at them. Labas gets lost frequently between his dorm and the practice complex. They had to put directions in his smartphone. Of course then they had to teach him how to use a smartphone. Padilla? He's often refused entry into the practice complex because no one knows who he is. But it's all good because we've got Spencer the Great, poised in his 5th year in the program to "develop" us all the way up to 130th place in total offense this year. Plus we have the leadership of BF, who is a lifelong learner.
If this stuff about the back up QBs is correct, WTH is recruiting these guys?
Seriously the amount of sh!t that is piled up around this program right now is just laughable.
You could barely TRY and be this disfunctional!!

now that's good work Doodle. I find myself stuck in hell right now with both my teams. The Steelers offense sucks too and how Matt Canada still has a job is beyond me.Ol' Doodle heard the same thing from a reliable source. May is a notorious low clapper.

Not as a rule. Maybe did it on a rare occasion, but normally when the Hawks were up big in the 4th quarter the second and even third string QB would get snaps.
Yep. Our Stillers are every bit as bad if not worse. It's literally, uniforms and all, like watching a re-run of Saturdays on Sundays. Football Purgatory.
I feel like padilla’s career completion percentage would be higher if he had the chance to pad some stats against inferior competition. Maybe not 20% higher but there’s a pretty significant difference between Minnesota and Nevada or directional Illinois school
The post I was responded to was not talking about having a big lead. It was about Iowa being down big.
