QB's and WR's have been hard for Ferentz to develope for whatever reason. There is a long line of players who had phenomenal numbers sophomore/juniors year but had less than stellar senior seasons. Iowa isn't playing with an empty deck this season at QB either. A four star is competing with a kid that won the backup role as a true freshman last year. It's all gonna hinge on the new WRs coming in and if Wadley can stay healthy
No really it's going to hinge on whether a QB with very little experience can perform at a high level against B1G D's. We'll have to wait for the B1G schedule to start before anyone can tell anything about iowas QBs due to the extremely weak OOC schedule the hawks play.
The top pro-style QBs in the country are probably going to the top pro-style programs. Alabama, USC, Stanford.
First I thought you were talking about Nebraskas new QB. Seeing as he is also unproven against B1G defenses as well. At least Iowas QB will have a running game and defense to lean on a little bit.
I'd be more worried about Nebraska if they started going actual pro-style and get to the point where they can regularly run the ball no problem. And maybe they are going that way and I think that'd be a smart move.
Well you're obviously not that bright and inconsistent which are two traits I see in typical Iowa fan. So CJB was very good as a transfer and gave Iowa one their best seasons in Iowa history ( not saying a lot, but I digress), but you'd rather go with a young QB with little experience over another transfer, ok sure, get lost.
No one here cares if your worried or not.
One thing you'll never see from an Iowa fan, an apology for being wrong. My bad, I had it in my mind he was a transfer, I stand corrected.
IMO if ND offers he goes, you need to realize he comes from a big time Catholic family, his dad coached multiple state championship teams at St. Albert going to ND would be the ultimate achievement for him. Just my opinion he has a few years of high school ball left to play.
If only this could be true; My over under on T L having a great season would be about 90%
I'm not following. Iowa is built around running the ball and strong defenses. Weigers or Stanley just need to be serviceable and not turn the ball over. Also, Wyoming is almost a top 25 team with arguably the top QB in the draft next year. Then, sadly, playing at ISU is nothing to look past.
I don't think it would be surprising, neither would losing week two. Unlikely on both, but not surprising. The Iowa guy is right, that is a nastier opening two weeks than they'll get credit for.
trouble comprehending cherry-picking?
It at the very least shows they have NFL talent going through the program at the QB position.
Only because the guy who beat him out also is a NFL talent. So Iowa had 2 NFL QBs on the team at the same time.
Iowa could have 5 QBs starting in the NFL and you'd be able to come up with some negative about it so there's no point to discuss it. But maybe the talent over at Iowa isn't as bad as people in Lincoln think it is. And again brings me to the original point of might be a reason a prospect would consider Iowa over Nebraksa.
I can't go to the Iowa board. There are more Nebraksa fans over there than there are here.
