This is why you buy a QB

[uihawk82]

I like how everyone acts like there’s a money tree that we can just buy a $5M qb.

$1 or $2 million for a better than we have now would be worth it I say for next year.

Remember they touch the ball on every offensive play.

Well, it appears it hasn't been a big part of a consistently successful program at Iowa

Yeah some programs define success differently. Lol.

Brown and Jeremy 2nd year with Lester and they have already reached their low ceiling.

You don’t have a QB you have no chance to compete for a playoff birth playing in the big 10

Have to agree with you on that … they need to get some serious shopping done in the portal in the offseason

Some fans were hoping that the QB competition was a case of both men being good. Others (myself included) feared it was because both were mediocre/bad, and neither was able to separate from the other.

Sadly, it appears the second scenario was the case.

I would just like to know who decided Hank Brown was worth more than $1 million dollars. Hecklinski doesn’t even earn $300k.

Won’t matter

WR room is always junk too

There is talent in the WR room this year.

To think KF has had a better career than Hayden

Yeah, stupid Hayden got cancer and wasn’t smart enough to figure out how to hide in the Big Ten West.

^This.

I said from the beginning if Iowa’s transfer portal plan for 2026 didn’t include an upgrade at quarterback the season would likely not produce a playoff appearance.

Iowa doesn’t need an elite quarterback to be successful, but there’s a reason teams with all-conference or all-American caliber quarterbacks didn’t have an open competition at quarterback heading into the first game of the season.

Someone just said Hank costs $1M. It doesn’t get you what it used to lol

Have you seen the QB play for Michigan and Indiana this season? Neither of those teams has one decent QB, which is why their game ended in regulation at 6-6. LOL

Indiana did not complete ONE single pass in the second half yesterday until OT. The Minnesota QB isn't very good. The backup at Washington looked good vs. Iowa. I haven't seen much great QB play anywhere this season. Where have all the great QBs gone?

How many games did Indiana's and Michigan's defenses give up 38+ points this year, like Minnesota has done twice?
