What happened to CJ?

I thought the same thing after his head got whipped around and he didn't say a word.
He's played terrible all year. Just stands there like a statue waiting to get sacked. For god sakes roll him out on every play and let him throw on the Run. Terrible play-calling all game
Why do you think he was good? Because they beat up on a bunch of absolute garbage schools last year? Please.
Cole Croston and Boone Meyers happened to CJ.
No one sucks the life out of exciting young QBS more than the Iowa coaching staff.
The same thing that happens to every 2 year starter under KF.
Move along, nothing to see here.

It's the Iowa coaches. They brain wash these QB. He is just like Vandenburg and JR. KF and staff are terrible at developing QBs. They can take a talented guy like CJB and make him terrible with bad plays and poor protection. Not to mention they brain wash them into not making mistakes. How many chances downfield does Iowa take in a game? 1?
Going to be a father. Too much going on in his life to focus on football.
Our Oline is bad, our receivers struggle to get sepertaion, GD has gone back to his predictable ways and he is just not playing that good. These offensive struggles are on everyone this year.
Not sure what you expect outta him w/the left side of that OL and those receivers.
He's been off for sure.
However, he has a subpar receiving corps to work with and terrible pass protection, especially from his tackles.

The decisions he's making, it's one of 3 things:
1. He's playing hurt
2. He's been neutered by our sh** skill position coaches (and Kirk).
3. He's on the take (I mean yes this isn't serious but for f***'s sake, you compare how he played last year to this year and it makes you f***ing have to pause for a sec to entertain such a notion.)

OK, I'm fairly drunk, so forgive me if I'm way off. But he had what, one bad pass before the last drive? The comeback to Nash that was in the dirt was the only pass I thought was subpar. The seam throw to Kittle while blanketed wasn't the best decision. The INT at the end was obviously pressing in crunch time. Is there something else?
Again, I'll mention the OL and the quality of receivers.
This our OLINE is terrible. CJB is trying to make it through the season. Our Oline is terrible and needs to be shifted around.
Again, maybe I'm missing something. Unless we're putting all the sacks on him, I can recount less than 10 subpar passes/decisions in 5 games. That's waaaaaay above average for an Iowa QB.
He went from a gunslinger to a scared lil baby in a cradle thanks to this coaching staff. Seen this song and dance. We need new young blood for coaches.
One of the things we have heard all year is how much control CJ has been given at the LOS. I think we've heard this story with other Iowa QBs as they've matured. I wonder if part of the problem is that the Iowa is giving CJ too much control and that's causing him to press. It seems like CJ is thinking too much now instead of running the plays and reacting to what he sees.
Or he may be injured.
I don't think he's any worse. I think his receivers and oline are drastically worse. NW had six sicks all year. They had six sacks today.
The very first drive Boone Meyers let's a man go untouched to kill him. Croston then let him get brutalized all day.

That punt he had was a work of f****** art though!
It's certainly not all on him. Poor receivers and oline certainly are hurting. However, he is not looking like the QB of 2015.
There was discussion here after the ISU have that he is the best QB to ever play at Iowa. That made me giggle. I can see someone under the age of 30 thinking that, but no way is he better than another #16 that works for BTN now. Not at the time of that notion and certainly not after the last 3 weeks. Not even close

The o line sucks, but CJ is way below average when it comes to feeling pass rushers. They have to tap him on the shoulder just so he's aware of them.
Alot goes on the oline, which is especially upsetting since our coach and his son are supposed to be guru's. If he is hurt they need to get him out and get him rested if not he seems to have lost a step. His arm is decent enough but there were a couple times today 2015 CJ takes off and gets good yards and 2016 whiffed.

Doesn't matter. You still have to throw downfield. Overthrow everyone if you have to. Have to keep the defense honest.
I guess Brad Banks will still be the best Hawkeye QB I've ever seen.. I thought with a strong encore to last yr CJ was gonna take it.. Welp so far SO BAD with that!
