Brown is 16th or 17th best BIG QB

[7and5baby]

But he's better than most QBs we've recently had. That's kinda pathetic.
Almost ZERO offense vs the 3 P4 opponents we've played. He very rarely throws a clean ball. Usually too long, behind receiver, or too far in front of receiver. We got very lucky with bounces and penalties vs Mich on both possessions we actually scored on offense.

Did anyone else see him laughing on the sidelines after throwing the interception? I think Hank is probably a good person, but he is not the competitor I want in that position.

I don’t think he is a good person. I think he is simple-minded, and too dumb to process on game day.

I did like the review on the PI early on to see if the ball was tipped because it had a wonky flight. Nope, that's just how the ball comes out of his hand sometimes. He has an underhand release which drives me crazy for some reason.

He is a better QB than Deacon, altho that's not saying much. But average athleticism (especially compared to most college QBs these days), and very bad accuracy at times

 

[Stoopsbrother]

10000% overthinks, checks down quickly while not getting the ball out quick enough, over throws deep balls on the regular, happy feet in a less than perfect pocket and practice hall of famer.

Unless you're fluent in Iowa's offense, and at all the practices to understand the game plans, you have no way of knowing if Hank is overthinking.

Unless you're at all the games, you don't have the information needed to determine Hank is checking down too early, as the action at the 3rd level is usually not shown on the TV screen.

And there isn't anyone that's said Hank is great in practice. Completely unnecessary dig

I’d put Hank in front of Rutgers QB, but that’s it.

The luck of the Irish can only hold up for so long. We were lucky Hank only had two turnovers against Ohio State. Can’t believe he didn’t sense the pressure on that first fumble.

 

[BringBackBradBanks]

There is no progression either. It’s one read, and then instantly check down or run.

Luckily it's a team game.

And luckily people have been saying Iowa's luck will run out for decades

Have not broke 20 in 3 games vs P4 teams. Not good.

He makes his primary read & if it's not there he goes straight to the flats go back & watch the film! Kid should realisticly have 4-6 ints on the year hes late on throws more than not.

Not that it matters but I have been to 3 of the games this year & understand basic route trees & offensive football lol hes missed diaz at least 3 times this year for sure fire TD's petras 2.0

Iowa QBs can’t be compared to QBs from other schools. They can only be compared to other Iowa QBs. That’s the only fair comparison.

 

[oldxbbc]

Seems like there were a lot of Brown supporters prior to the OSU game and now they have switched. I posted earlier that the OL is unfortunately part of the problem. Lets see what happens Friday, got a feeling Hawks rebound back with a W. And yes I know the West coast jinx.

It was even better when we threw out Brian Ferentz midway through the Drive to 25! What a special move that was.

Why do Iowa fans accept and excuse this level of QB play? It’s maddening. Gotta be some sort of psychological issue that conditions so many to try and convince themselves of a different reality.

Kirk has voodoo magic on the fanbase.

 

[Hawktech]

Question is - Hank hurt or NOT???

I would definitely want Hecklinski at 100% vs Hank at 85-90%.

 

[edgar dubois]

Its hard to say that this qb race should be decided. Heck has had few chances. Im sure he would have excelled against NIU and UNI as well.

This is on Lester, team is good enough for a playoff run, but we came into the year without a legit QB talent

The irony of saying someone is not a good person (presuming you don’t know him personally) and then calling him simple-minded is pretty hilarious.
