IOWA just so happens to have 2 VERY GOOD QBs; still up in the air who will start at Minnesota

Playing 2 qb's, both transfers, means you don't have one qb. Iowa does not owe either them playing time. We should be favored in most if not all of remaining games and the qb shuffle could completely derail our chances at the playoff, IMHO.

Disagree. Both have proven they can play. Hank lead us on a game winning drive at the Big House which in my recollection has never happened in my lifetime. Heck looked like a guy that not only belongs but the offense just seemed to move at a faster pace with him in there. It's a good option to know that both guys can play if needed. I have no idea how this is going to play out but I think both QB's will be needed as the season goes on.

i agree with these sentiments and also would like to see heck continue for now. that said, going back to the first time padilla played for us taking over for petras...he brought a confident crispness that made the entire offense execute smoothly. but in later appearances this turned out to be a brief mirage. perhaps scouting or other shortcomings neutralized whatever it was that impressed early and petras turned out more serviceable.

So true. We have had the opposite happen too. Stanzi, for example. It’s a black art trying to predict which way it breaks. Hoping we can navigate this with the best possible outcome. We do not have easy games on the horizon, but we have games we can win. Hoping Heck can keep it going. We know what we have with Brown and it’s ok. Just see a higher ceiling with Heck.

based on what i saw today iowa has 2 quarterbacks better than the two guys that osu has. flabbergasting. too bad we lost to them.
hope one or both of our guys aren't at osu and/or iu next year

I scoffed at having 2 QBs that are good. After seeing backups today, I think I would take Brown over any of them but Carr.
