Would Iowa be 7-4 right now if Stratton had been allowed to win the job in August

[BirdistheWord]

This is an overhyped thought.

Brad Banks came out of nowhere, probably needed to learn for a year before being a B10 QB.

Christensen was a highly touted recruit, and helped recruit other good recruits to come to Iowa. You give that guy plenty of chances, as long as he isn't running amok off the field.

Rudock was not bad. Had a year more in the program than CJB. Rudock was 22nd qb in his hs class, CJB, 38th. Rudock came from an excellent HS program. Beathard played at a HS in the Nashville area that wasn't exactly top level.

If Sullivan could not keep his own job at Northwestern, why are we all so f'n sure he should have been qb1 here (except for some or many of the coaches that actually get to watch practices).

I am glad we are not a program that plays QB roulette. Because sometimes, that blows up on you.

I tend to agree that QB roulette is not normally the best option but KF tends to stick with the chosen starter to a fault.

Don’t forget KF not even considering Labas over Hill. You can’t make this crap up with KF and his offensive illiteracy.

That was criminal.

Let's see, Stratton was playing LBer a week ago and KF made Resar a WR.

Apparently Kirk thinks 2 things are optional in football:
1) Having a QB
2) Playing offense

When I was a kid a salary of 8 million bought you competence. Oh how times have changed.

Lester recruited Sully and Stratton, so, batting 100%. What's was Brain's batting avg? 10%?

What if all of our QBs are terrible?

At worst we are 8-2 ... probably 9-1.

With Sullivan or Stratton, Iowa would have been a much better team. The evidence is obvious. The facts are clear. Sullivan and Stratton are 100 times better at playing QB than Cade ever was. All Cade brought to Iowa City was a resume. Sullivan and Stratton brought talent.

Stratton was a 3* outta hs. Sullivan a 3*.
McNamara a 4*.

We haven’t seen enough of him to make that judgement, we would probably still be 7-4.
