Thinking there is anything Petras could do to get drafted by the NFL is akin to wondering what Austin Ash could do to get drafted by the NBA . . . which would be the more likely of the two.
Petras shouldn't be starting for a major college football team. Period. He reminds me of some of the QBs Iowa started back in the late 60s and 70s when Hawkeye football was consistently in the bottom ten.
Joe Labas should start. Padilla should back him up, and Petras should be wearing a headset and holding a clipboard. But, as usual, KF and company have the QB situation upside down.
BTW: Speaking of Stanzi and his INTs . . . why is a punt better than an INT? If punting is winning, why aren't INTs? Most of Stanzi's interceptions were long throws down the field . . . 30 yards or more . . . and when you connect, that's a pretty good thing. And if it's intercepted, so what? You would have been punting anyway.
Stanzi took risks, which is why KF had to be forced into playing him. KF still doesn't understand that there is nothing as risky as trying to avoid risk. And he never will. That's why I'd like to see someone not named Ferentz running the Hawkeye program someday, someone who understands that life . . . and football . . . are more fun and more successful when you take appropriate risks.
