FFS, some of you guys are convinced we win the National Championship if Hank Brown had never been born.
QB Battle: Jeremy Hecklinski appears to have passed Hank Brown on the Depth Chart. QB was NOT a Transfer Portal Priority per KF on Dec 18
- Thread starter Franisdaman
- Start date
The only "guy's" opinion I care about is the opinion of the expert, Tim Lester.
What part of "it would have been a touchdown" do you not understand?
It wouldn’t be a message board if we didn’t have a bunch of Nancies thinking they know more than the coaches.
I never said anything about a Natty only Iowa and Indiana's Seasons and the Playoffs are much different with an Iowa win , But then again I am assuming some People have a reading comprehension level better than the Cro-Magnon .
It really is stunning.
Tim Lester designed the play. Tim Lester saw the play develop live, high above, from the press box. Tim Lester then reviewed all of the game film (film we fans don't have access to). Tim Lester then said in a press conference that, and I quote, "it was there. It would've been a touchdown."
But what does Tim Lester know? LOL
Honestly, this of just frickin dumb. People have eyes. Surely you're smart enough to know that Lester is stating opinion, not fact.
He doesn't, but I bet he can get to 20 pages re-posting the same thing.
However the QB battle sifts out, Hank WILL do well in the propane industry.
His name foreordains it.
His name foreordains it.
Well , if you and others weren't so stupid , I wouldn't have to repeat myself. For some reason , the truth does not sink in for some of you.
And as a reminder , Tim Lester said it would have been a touchdown
I had enough and finally set him to 'ignore'... probably should have awhile back...
It's so obvious Heck is the better option. Brown just doesn't have what it takes when the lights are shining.
We all have seen this story line before….unfortunately, I think Kirk is leaning Hank.
I'm not sure Kirk will choose Hank. If he does, after today, when this product is open for everyone to witness, then I may finally realize that he's terrible at deciding a QB1. Hopefully, Lester gets to make the decision.
Kirk is smart, he's not going to pass judgement on Kid's Day, despite any great performance. He'll say the usual about being happy with development, needing to work on things, and that we have three weeks of practice to go. We won't get his answer at QB until game week.
Everybody claims not to read too much into one play. I’ve seen enough great athletes at all sorts of different sports both in person and on television to know, some guys got it and some guys don’t. Unfortunately, for the play against Indiana for Hank Brown that told me everything I need to know. Everything about what’s between the ears unfolded on that play. Rushed his throw, had terrible feet and just wasn’t ready.
IMO Kirk knows that Hecklinski is clearly better. However, he'll continue coach speak to the media saying it's close for a couple of reason 1) to not alert NIU as to who they may see as the QB 2) to keep the QB's pushing each other through camp 3) to keep Hank Brown fully invested and working hard in case his services are ever required this season
Behind closed doors there's just no way Kirk and Lester haven't had conversations that it has to be Heck as QB1
2nd and last TD are throws you just shake your head as a defender. Tight windows but case where good D was beat by a great throw. Type of throws Iowa qbs haven’t consistently made since Beathard graduated.
No doubt CJ had the “it“ factor when Kirk made the switch. But Jake was a pretty good quarterback. Good enough that Jim Harbaugh turned him into even a better quarterback.
That was a tough competition between those 2. They made the decision tough on Kirk and the final result was great for all parties.
Iowa 2014 year:
| 213 | 345 | 2,436 | 61.7 | 16 | 5 | 133.5 | 67 | 176 | 2.6 |
| Michigan Wolverines | |||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2015 | 249 | 389 | 3,017 | 64.0 | 20 | 9 | 141.5 | 58 | 166 | 2.9 |
Let's not forget CJB's dad had to call and threaten that he'd transfer if he wasn't starting in 2015...
Kirk is one of the best college football coaches ever, however, he is not great with QB’s. It’s a real blind spot for him. He gets so invested in a guy that he tends to play him regardless of the consequences. I understand the loyalty and admire it actually, and at the same time it’s his kryptonite.
