I would agree that if Iowa plays to their potential, they should easily be 4-1. You just don't know these days...who would have thought Indiana would go in and beat Mizzou? IU looked really strong on defense, the same team who got beat at home by Bowling Green.
Anymore, I am just rooting for them to win, happy if they do, annoyed if they don't, but not surprised.
I still see issues there with the coaching, but I think we start CJ and let him go. We need to keep that running game going but seeing CJ throw those downfield shots, that is going to be in the minds of Purdue's defensive coaches.
Ferentz starts players based on if they are a good person or not and throws talent out the window. It's a known fact that in Iowa if your name is Jake you're probably a bust. It is unfathomable to me that he would even consider Jake the starter this week. A) he's hurt and B) we are playing Purdue. Even if Jake part 2 is the better QB why would you risk further injury? Ferentz is a bumbling fool no matter how you slice it
The passing game is interesting for the Hawks. But take a look at what Cody Sokol is doing at LA Tech:
Record: 2-2
Games: 4
P Attempts: 134
P Completions: 84 (62.7%)
Yards: 1009
TDs: 10
INTs: 5
That is more productive than what Iowa has under center -- except for in the win column.
He's a product of the system. Why do you think Iowa has had what, one or two QBs drafted since he's been HC? Not sure if Banks was drafted, Tate played in the CFL and Stanzi actually did get drafted. He hinders QBs and if I were a good QB coming out of HS there would be no chance I'd even think of Iowa. The shit system he runs only makes a QB worse
I think that is a bad argument.
1) Since Sokol is doing better at LT than current Iowa QBs doesn't mean he will be drafted. You use Iowa's QBs going into the next level as examples. Who said Sokol will?
2) You make it seem Iowa is one of the rare Power 5 conference teams that doesn't get NFL QBs. You're right, Iowa and KF is not good at developing QBs, but how many does Nick Saban have? How many does Bielema? How many does Bob Stoops have? It's not like every other HC is racking in starting NFL QBs.
3) KF is not good at developing QBs, WRs, or RBs. I don't blame him for RBs though. Injuries and off field issues are the reason. But he has had some that has had significant playing time in the NFL. But I can list plenty of players he brought in that were TE, OL, DL, LB, and DB that he developed into NFL talent that have started for years in the NFL.
