Which qb starts next week?
- Thread starter GOHOX69
- Start date
Although Sullivan went up against 2nd stringers, he still looked very good. Only Captain Kirk didn't notice. He will stay with his guy no matter what (Deacon Hill revisited but not nearly as bad).
He did notice, he said it was one of that bad things that happened in the game, Brendan doing well…
Cade
Misses wide open receiver in first half for long gain or score.
3 possessions and 3 turnovers in 2nd half.
If that doesn't get Cade benched, nothing will.
But the worst QB in Big Ten history didn't get benched last year, so expecting Cade next week.

Kirk got suspended for Cade, he’s not sitting him.
Cade will come out for the first series. There will be boos. It's not going to be pretty fellas.
^^^^This will be just another "F U" to the fans.
Remember how your Grandpa was too stubborn to change any bad habits he had???
That's Iowa's HC.
Sullivan looked to be faster than most of our WR
He was over 60% completion at NW. Thats around 20% higher than what we’re used to here at Iowa
This year should put to rest who runs the offense. Remember a few weeks before the season kicked off there was talk of Sullivan and Cade being even for starter ?
So Cade wasn’t in game shape (understandable)
Playing poorly tho the coaches say doing well
Makes NO plays for us
And Sullivan can’t play ?

I just keep coming back to this.
Literally, it would have been a better look for KF to either pretend not to hear the question, or just say "next question" rather than go with this stupid gaslighting.
wait...he thinks Cade is improving? Meaning...he wasn't good before? He's a f***ing 6th year player!
We all know about Kirk's QB evaluation during his career.
There's no way one can see the performance CM put in, or even just his stat line, and align it with the sentiment that he's improving. Hey Kirk, actually it was his worst performance of the season, but alright. It's bewildering.
Well he gave os
Well he gave osu 3 TD's today.
That would have to be an undefined ratio, I believe
Kirk ought to know by now his instincts on offense are not often correct.
Exactly right. Sullivan forces the defense to account for the quarterback as a threat. Iowa has been playing 10 on offense against 11 defenders for a couple of seasons. One head scratching decision after another with this coaching staff. " WTF are they thinking" runs through my mind, numerous times, EVERY single game. This staff lost me in the ISU game with their asinine decisions from the one-yard line twice.
From Hawkcentral:
McNamara, in five-plus starts as a Hawkeye against power-conference competition, is a woeful 58-for-109 for 470 yards (4.3 yards per attempt) without a single touchdown pass. He hasn’t topped 100 passing yards in the three power-conference games this season (99 vs. Iowa State, 62 at Minnesota, 98 at Ohio State). It's not always all about stats, but those numbers are hard to ignore.
Even Dolphin said it yesterday on Kaleb’s TD. I don’t think it was said with the intention with what I heard but just the same, he said that two Ohio State defenders kept their eye on Sullivan on the fake. And that was probably set up by Sullivan‘s run previously in that series. With Cade, no one is following him, because they know they don’t have to. If even one person on defense has to track Sullivan because of his threat to run, that is one less defender for our running back to have to try to avoid. It creates another dimension for the defense to address. Even Ohio State’s quarterback, not a great runner, but effective, was able to keep the defense off-balance enough that it created running lanes for Ohio State.
That’s what Sullivan can bring to the offense. For a team that wants to run, that is a key.
In terms of “improving“, I would argue that Sullivan is “improving“ as well.
Is Iowa really reduced to relying on a sixth year quarterback “improving“ 5 games into the season?

Missed your post. I wrote essentially the same thing later, but you’re spot on about what Sullivan can do that Cade cannot.
3 TDs 3 INTs (none of the TDs against a P4 team) Not sure how many fumbles he has but he's upside down in the TD/turnover ratio.
My question for this board and those supporting KF is the decision making around the QB role. Why the reluctance to make changes and why the reluctance to get grittier with this role? 4th and foot and Sullivan probably gets the first with a sneak. Sullivan and his mobility perhaps takes some of the heat off KJ. Cades arm is obviously nothing great so Sullivan can’t be any worse there either. This inability to adjust and pivot on Kirk’s part is my biggest objection to his last 5 years of running the program.
The way Cade runs to the huddle after a kickoff resembles an 80 year old man going to the bathroom.
He's clearly not healthy and is just going through the motions.
But since KF earned a suspension recruiting him...KF can't bench him now.
Inability to change QBs had been KF worst quality his whole career.
Unfortunately it all starts up front. That hasn’t gotten much better and from what I’ve seen QB play probably won’t either. A change is definitely needed.
It really makes Iowa fans look like dicks, but is any other fan base in the country put in a position to publicly bemoan personnel choices as much as Iowa fans are? There are enough chapters to write a book on Ferentz sticking with the wrong players and coaches despite all evidence to the contrary.
Cade took a beating in that game. He should have been replaced. Reminded me of CJ in the bowl game.
I don’t think they’ve been bad this year. They’d look much better with a scrambler QB.
Sullivan isn’t some unknown underclassman scrub. He was a starter at the B1G level.
kaleb had a guy assigned to him every play so yes sullivan's arrival most definitely changed things.
