Other teams have our same or worse financial situation and can field a ******* qb who can make basic throws
Why is it that 60 or so of the other P4 teams somehow have the $ for a quality QB but Iowa somehow doesn’t? Iowa doesn’t need to buy Julian Sayin, Darian Mensah or CJ Carr. Absolutely no reason why Wisconsin, NW, Neb and UCLA should have QB’s who play at a much higher level than Iowa’s.
They spent their money on Diaz and Tyler Brown and a bunch of long term prospects rather than a 1 year rental like Gronowski. I’m not sure we can afford a decent portal QB and address our other needs. They were banking on Lester being able to make JH or HB being above average.
"Developmental"
I guess I didn’t realize that all those other teams were only spending money on a QB and didn’t put NIL money anywhere else. Strange.
If either of them have any ability to be a potential starter they better transfer. Under this regime they’ll be ruined before they get an opportunity. Never seen so many qb’s look like ***.
I guess I’d need to see what team’s with our budget have been as successful as Iowa?
Maybe throw on 2nd and 10 once in a while. He put them in a terrible position at 3rd and longs all day. Kept running it into a brick wall. He was predictable today which made it easy for Minnesota.Yes, he made some terrible passes and fumbled 3 times...plus all the penalties he was responsible for. He's never going to learn to lineup behind the LOS...
If that’s the case (which I unfortunately think will occur) then it’s time for basketball season.
When you’re done with your research, let me know how many of those schools have fewer conference championships than Iowa over the past 22 years.
Yeah that was either very bad or Hank thought DJV was going to flatten out the route or DJV was running faster than he was because it wasnt close. I think he tried to guide the pass and failed.
"its splitting hairs"? Now go back and read your first post. Said this after the Washington game when everyone was hyped up on Heck. We punished them in the run game and Heck had all day to throw to wide open receivers. What did it look like today? For the life of me I don't see the evidence that he's any better then Brown under pressure. In this game Brown gets credited with 2 interceptions. The first was actually a sack and the ball was knocked out of his hand and into the arms of a defender. The 2nd was a good pass to RVZ across the middle and he alligator armed it and bounced into the arms of a gopher player.
Have you actually watched the games? Please explain Hecks ability to have great games. Your talking about ONE game. We kicked Washington around because we ran the ball up their As- all night. Then when we ran play action, (because they couldn't stop the run) we had guys WIDE open on all three TD;s. I highly doubt the outcome would have been much different in Seattle regardless who started. Today Heck started and did not have the benefit of the run game as a crutch. How did that look? Passes knocked down. Missing Dias on an easy pitch and catch TD. Really bad decision across the middle on the interception inside the 5yd line. I just don't see where this dividing line is that people think he's played any better against good competition. I honestly don't care which one plays , but I don't see the seperation people keep claiming.
Hanks first Int was a sack basically where he was hit from behind and the ball fell forward. The 2nd was a really good pass across the middle to RVZ who dropped the ball right in both hands. Yes, all the fumbles just can't happen. Even one less, and we probably win a game we had no business winning.
The majority opinion on here is that neither QB is P4 starter caliber. Again. Gronowski has been the only serviceable QB Iowa has had since 2019 and he played well about half of one season.
They called Diaz number a few times. Heck missed him for what might have been a walk in TD in the first half.
Are you expecting an honest and knowledgeable answer from someone on this forum about your question?
Once again this ongoing false narrative that can be factually disproved........
Guys!
Don't mess with the false narrative. Attacks coming your way.
You mean the pick where he got sacked and the ball was knocked out or the good throw for a first down that RVZ dropped that was intercepted?
How has Heck gotten the shaft?
I would certainly hope this is an overreaction.
You can't make this **** upReally? What were his numbers in the first half. Oh that's right 9 for 16 after starting 7 for 8? So he went 2 for 8 with an interception. Really played much better didn't he.......but yet, we stayed with him.
You've seen Heck play ONE full game against a team we dominated who could not stop a run game, so the play action game was WIDE open the whole game. Based off that alone we're convinced he's the best option, and the coaches have no idea what they're doing. Okay then....
This is beyond stupid.
