Is Gronowski injured?

Arch Manning against tOSU at the shoe is over reacting after 1 game. Gronkowsi's performance against Albany is not. Its just not.
If Gronowski is hurt, we need to be respectful of him and not call for his head.
If he's hurt, The Capt had better be willing to send in Hank and let him throw.
If Gronowski isn't hurt, I am afraid of what's over in Story County.

Why don’t we go with a QB that doesn’t have a shoulder problem?
I don't know why we can't have both as Iowa fans. Did you see any of the Utah game? Their QB had 16 RA and 25 PA. As others have stated, difference between game manager and game changer
Remember when Kirk started Petras even though he was hurt, and only replaced him when he couldn’t even throw 5 yards?
This^^^. Recovery from shoulder surgery is a long, slow process. I know, I've had 2 of them: one just 4 weeks ago. 4 to 5 months before you can reasonably use your arm and a year before you're fully recovered. Even then it's not as strong as was. I'm sure he had the best when it came to rehab/therapy, but I'm not sure it matters. Shoulders are tough to heel up after surgery.
Idk. If MG's 80% is better than what Brown can bring, probably. We'll never know unless MG gets to where he can't play.
Painful to the fans, but I didn't think he was favoring his arm/shoulder. It looked to me like he's lost his touch and has no idea how hard and how far to through the ball.
when I said physically unable to play, I truly meant physically unable to play, like the doctors have to call it. KF will always send the QB out no matter what.Wrong:
Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz: Criticism over handling of QB C.J. Beathard 'offensive'
Calling the comments "surprising and offensive," Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz responded to criticism from former ESPN analyst Ed Cunningham over how he handled QB C.J. Beathard's health.www.espn.com
What I'd like to know is, who called all the run plays when the backup QB was in the game, was that KF or the O-Coordinator. If you have a hurt QB, wouldn't it make a little sense to get some throwing reps for the backup. KF will never allow a backup QB to look better than the starter. For some reason he would rather lose than have people question his decisions. On defense, everyone knows that Parker calls the shots so Parker can do whatever he wants. I was hoping our O-Coordinator would step up and do the same.
I have weak faith that Lester is allowed much freedom.
His accuracy obviously wasn't where it needed to be. I think his arm and ability to throw are fine. He made a lot of very nice throws at the Kid's Day practice. He also threw a 30 yard ball on Saturday with some juice on it while "in the grasp" of a sack. Entirely with his upper body. That's not something a QB with a lame arm/shoulder is likely to do.
