There is no way he is worse than MG. I mean look at this historic record breaking stat:
Hank Brown can’t be any worse
- Thread starter BrunoMars420
- Start date
Good lord we are pathetic.
Borrrrrinnnnng

I don't think MG was bad at all this game. He had several dropped passes by TE and WR. Can move with his feet. I am not going to sit here and say he is Archie Manning Jr, but he is a winner. Don't forget that Iowa State was the #16 team in the nation and we were in their place. There were several top 15 ranked teams that lost to unranked opponents this week. We were the dog and covered the spread. It is not all bad.
Losing is one thing. Looking bad and losing, as we did, is another.
Fielding a pathetic offense time after time sucks all the fun out of watching Iowa.
Didn’t have a bad game. Give him some legit receivers and he continues to learn Lester’s offense and makes decisions they’ll be fine. Nice to see the football board is still full of morons.
KF seems to be getting more risk averse every year lately. MG can only do what KF will let him.
Speaking of morons, where does one get these legit receivers mid season for MGs only year here?
Learning Lester’s offense? Like what should have been done before the season started?
Man this post is bad in many levels I had to respond twice because I forgot to mention he just set this record:
How do you people spin this **** in your head to say “he didn’t have a bad game”? He historically had the worst first 2 game passing stretch of any QB in the big ten since 1995
He's still adjusting to the speed of, not just D1 football but power level football (how many power conferences are there now?). His decision making, when and to whom to throw the football, will improve with game reps. Remember, he's only had about 5 weeks in this offensive system with his teammates. He also threw a much better ball today than last week.
He's going to suck too, KF will make sure of it
I should have you on ignore. Using that POS in response to one of my posts is grounds for being reported!“Threw a better ball today than last week”
He threw for 44 yards last week!!!
Who cares, we have tried different QBs, different OC’s we have had wideout transfers and it’s still garbage….this is on the head hawk. The whole system is broken on the offensive side and has been for some time.
I’m done with it.
I’m done with it.
Death, Taxes, a Walking Wounded QB Transfer and a Crappy Iowa Hawkeye Offense.
Is it November 4th yet?? (men's bball opener)

Oh shut uuuup, Sally.
Mahomes would suck playing at Iowa
systematic. its beyond repair at this point and time to move in another direction at HC.
Stop underestimating Kirk. He could turn Tom Brady into Helen Keller

You don’t pay $1Million for on the job training. This analysis and path is for a freshman
Wow, Iowa lost 1 game. There's still three huge games in the future.
We've been at that point for (at least) 5+ years now.
There has been nothing to suggest that Iowa will break the trend of getting smashed against the top teams in conference.
Isn’t there a saying that the biggest improvement is between week 1 and 2? We did improve, 44 yards to 83
PSU
Oregon
USC
These teams are going to stomp Iowa. Maybe the defense can be heroic in the first half like they have in past games, but Iowa isn’t winning those games 12-9
With Iowas lack of vertical playcalling and way below average wr's wont matter who the qb is, just have to accept the fact until Kirk leaves the passing game will be all but dead.
QBs who have started at least one game for Iowa since 2020:
Spencer Petras
Alex Padilla
Deacon Hill
Joey Labas
Cade McNamara
Jackson Stratton
Brandon Sullivan
Mark Gronowski
& all 8 of them took the blame at one point for an incompetent offense, but one thing has never changed!

He could be worse. I wouldn’t put anything past Kirk.
Seriously, at least half the games we win aren’t very enjoyable.
Will improve with game reps, lol…
Right around week 8 or 9 he’ll REALLY start to find his way. Unfortunately by then, we’ll have at least 4 losses under our belt and the season is a bust
Under 100 yards passing, in a loss, is a dogcrap game in 2025. Moron.
And yet, I enjoy them all! Which may explain why I am bald and drunk on Saturday's in the fall.
Mathematically, if we keep doubling our yards, we could be throwing for 600 yards by USC!
Edit. My math is way off! Doubling 44 each week means Gronowski could throw for 2000 yards against USC!
I would think even NIL contributors may be ready to see the next option.
I mean, we’re making history with the fewest passing yards in 30 seasons……..
Brown definitely could be worse, but I’d like to see him get some snaps next week.
