More proofThis can't be a serious question...
That's similar to wondering if going 4-0 with a 30-point margin of victory is better than going 4-0 with a 3-point margin of victory........
I would ignore that worthless loser. I actually made a custom CSS code to outright remove his posts and the "show ignored" button on the website. So now I'll never see his posts again. Knowing his uneducated stupidity is officially gone from my view feels very freeing.Fixed it for you.

If anyone wants a guide on how to hide Eyes of Retard's posts completely, let me know!
IIRC, Lester said that Brown had good mobility and decent speed going around the edges. He was not a power, up-the-middle guy like Gronowski. Lester recruited Brown to Iowa, and I don't think he would have done so if Brown weren't a good fit for his system. (Of course, that's not to say Hecklinski isn't a better fit.)My personal take is that these are very different players with different playing styles. I think Brown and pocket passer types are no longer a schematic fit for Iowa. His type worked in the old pro style offense, but it really isn't a good fit in the new Shanahan RPO scheme. Hecklinksi is a better fit for the new scheme.
Last year I had a chance to attend a semi-private Q&A with some donors (I was a guest) and Kirk after summer open practice. Someone asked Kirk about the QB position last year, and Kirk played coy, as usual, and said it was a fluid situation, changes every day, all guys have their strengths, blah, blah, blah.
But I do remember him then giving the following unsolicited assessment: "You know, Hank Brown is a really interesting player..." My interpretation of that comment was that Hank Brown looks like the protypical tall pocket passer type that Kirk has always liked to put under center for 25+ years. When Brown was at Auburn some fans worried about his lack of mobility, and I don't think his style has really changed much but I could be wrong.
QB skills will drive scheme and playcalling at the end of the day. I like the RPO heavy scheme we ran with Gronk, and I want the QB who can best keep that going. I hope Hecklinksi performs well enough in the camps to earn the starting job.
not speaking for your nemesis but i would definitely say brendan sullivan was a step in the right direction — he completely turned around the ref zone offense for the better. second lester joined iowa in spring 2024 and signed brendan soon thereafter. considering where we were and the compressed time solid pickup despite later shortcomings.Your post has nothing to do with what Alum was talking about.
It also has no real relevance, as only one qb can play at a time. And Iowa has had qb's on the field during the BF tenure you mention, good enough to be part of KF''s winningest stretch at Iowa.
What you say also has no relevance, as over 26 years, Iowa has won about the same number of games, regardless of what their qb was like.
And it's also irrelevant, as qb play hasn't been rated very high by fans for much of KF's 26 year hall of fame career.
Also, to imply the qb situation you mentioned was BF's fault, is a mischaracterization. A shaky year of recruiting, from a coordinator, would fall on that coordinator. But multiple years of shaky recruiting would fall directly on KF. So again, we see the silliness and illegitimacy of complaints about a hall of fame coach.
Sullivan was a Lester recruit. Why was he not the "first step in the right direction"? Only the ripest cherries
For sure.not speaking for your nemesis but i would definitely say brendan sullivan was a step in the right direction — he completely turned around the ref zone offense for the better. second lester joined iowa in spring 2024 and signed brendan soon thereafter. considering where we were and the compressed time solid pickup despite later shortcomings.
Frankly, I forgot Sullivan even existed. He started about 5 games and then left. It's still in line with what I originally said though, Lester knows what to look for. Eyes of Retard's personal lord and savior, Brian, did not. It's no coincidence the first two guys Lester brought in, Brendan and Mark, were big improvements over what we saw prior.not speaking for your nemesis but i would definitely say brendan sullivan was a step in the right direction — he completely turned around the ref zone offense for the better. second lester joined iowa in spring 2024 and signed brendan soon thereafter. considering where we were and the compressed time solid pickup despite later shortcomings.
I struggled for some time with the concept of ignoring ol' eyes.Frankly, I forgot Sullivan even existed. He started about 5 games and then left.

But we all know Eyes of Retard doesn't know anything about football, or sports on general. Luckily I don't have to read his lies anymore either.
I stopped speaking to him when he admitted he was here to only correct fans. He isnt here in good faith, meaning he never posts in good faith. Once I realized that I felt a lot better not responding to him. Decided to remove the temptation of looking at his ignored posts by using the Chrome browser extension called Stylus, and I made a small code to remove his posts and the "show ignored" button. Now I'm really free. The only person that loses in the situation where you ignore him, is Eyes himself. I just want to talk about Iowa sports, not argue about nothing with an egomaniac.I struggled for some time with the concept of ignoring ol' eyes.
It seemed to me that my ignoring him was a defeat.
After giving the matter thought, I came to accept the fact that he, like roaches surviving a nuclear holocaust, would never acknowledge being in error, nor go away off into the sunset.
In addition, he had the (pathological?) tenacity of a pitbull.
Bottom Line:
I concur with those that have finally ignored/blocked ol' eyes, and did likewise.
I strongly suspect ol' eyes is a teacher/coach, past or present.
However in 40+ years in education, I have NEVER encountered the likes of him.
He DID serve one purpose; he made me READ BETTER!
Shouldn't you be counting your nickels, tough guy?Plenty of EDS here. Eyes Derangement Syndrome.
I'd consider becoming a fan of a different team....Obviously the best one.
I want a qb who makes good decisions, is mobile (and I don’t mean a running qb), is able to complete a high percentage of his passes, and can move the chains.
Hopefully that man is on campus.
What's the definition of "great"?I think Iowa will never have a great QB until Kirk Ferentz retires.
Doesn't matter. He already doesn't realize the definition of "stupid"What's the definition of "great"?
Brad Banks, Drew Tate, Ricky Stanzi, and CJ Beathard all say hello. Jeez, Beathard is still in the NFL. We've had some pretty great QBs under Ferentz.I think Iowa will never have a great QB until Kirk Ferentz retires.
This is why sports fans have no legitimacyWhichever one KF thinks gives us the best chance to win.....play the other one.
Mobile, doesn't freeze up, doesn't overthrow massively, actually gets developed enough to get drafted as a starting QB in the NFL.What's the definition of "great"?
Beathard hasn't played in a game in a couple years.Brad Banks, Drew Tate, Ricky Stanzi, and CJ Beathard all say hello. Jeez, Beathard is still in the NFL. We've had some pretty great QBs under Ferentz.
I want hard stats not adjectives. What stats are "great" college QB stats?Mobile, doesn't freeze up, doesn't overthrow massively, actually gets developed enough to get drafted as a starting QB in the NFL.
Beathard hasn't played in a game in a couple years.
Plenty of hard W's in the hall of famer's book.I want hard stats not adjectives. What stats are "great" college QB stats?
And Chuck Long was a bust in the NFL. No greatness in your book.Beathard hasn't played in a game in a couple years.
He has said in the past that he was a football coach. He also has said he is autistic, so the fixation and repetition of his opinion makes sense.I struggled for some time with the concept of ignoring ol' eyes.

says the guy more or less replying to his comments hahahaha.He has said in the past that he was a football coach. He also has said he is autistic, so the fixation and repetition of his opinion makes sense.
I remember when he popped up on BHGP several years ago. His comments were exactly the same then, so I don't think they are worth reading-neither are the replies to his comments, imo.
Well you were 1 for 3.He has said in the past that he was a football coach. He also has said he is autistic, so the fixation and repetition of his opinion makes sense.

That explains a lot. I generally liken Eyes of Retard to a homeless man you have to walk past to get to work; an unfortunate existence that you want to avoid at all costs, constantly yelling psychotic nonsense at everyone, sad to look at, makes everything worse by being there, and you pray that you're not his next target to harass. But if you want to go to work (in this case post on the board) you have to deal with it.He also has said he is autistic, so the fixation and repetition of his opinion makes sense.
This is one of the problems with the "ignore" feature.That explains a lot.

Yup…He’ll stick with his guy through thick and thin for the (supposed and potential) benefit of continuity.
Can't wait for the first "What the Heck" headline when he either wins or loses a game for the HawksSo are there any recent double secret insider new developments regarding the epic QB battle?
Inquiring minds want to know.
Or whoever can run for their life better.I think the correct answer is "whoever is going to be the best leader of the offense".

Cute enough to almost always be true, and thus repeated?Cute saying which is oft repeated, but not necessarily true
Not often enough for scrambling to be the #1 priority.Or whoever can run for their life better.
Not a knock on the OL, but things can/do break down.
God dude you’re a miserable SOB… keyboard warrior… most jacked the toughest man in the world … quit popping zits in your mom’s basement … and those playboy magazines are getting awfully sticky as wellThat explains a lot.
