He wasn't benched. I don't think he really was 100% ready for the Washington game and the way it went we didn't need him.
In your FACE Brown-nosers

"Seems to be emotionally dead inside". Please elaborate on your ridiculous statement. Because he doesn't fall apart like Heck did after the first thing that went wrong when he threw that pick?
Because the time has long since passed for this QB merry go round, if were going to keep moving forward. I'd have been fine with Heck playing in the 4th, but YOU would only have been here whining when they didn't let him throw the ball, so, whatever.....
First, settle down spaz. Second, yes, something along the lines of you answering your own question with a question.
He had the ball 8 times. 2 INTs, 1 TD, 1 turnover that wasn’t his (but he fumbled on that drive), 4 punts. He had plenty of opportunities to win the game and he didn’t.
Brown is starting to show leadership on the field. He was the first person talking to Williams after the 2nd fumble. I think he will be alright.
Da fuq? Which QB led a drive to get us back? Heck was the one who didn't hand it to Minnesota, he literally, threw it to them.
Heck had the ball 5 times. 1 int (could have easily been 3), 1 fg where we lost yards on the drive, and 3 punts (on 2 of those drives he missed Diaz who was open deep twice).
Not saying Hank played great, good, or even average but if he had played the whole game we likely would have won.
I’m not arguing that Heck would have won the game. I’m arguing that neither was good enough to win the game.
Super, another poster who has to resort to name calling after being called out for making such a ludicrous statement. You be you though, its entertaining anyway, kind of..
2 int put on him. One was a fumble when he was being sacked because his arm went forward. The other should have been credited to RVZ dropping a good pass, (if they did put blame in the right place of course).
You seem fun. My only further request is that you take yourself even more seriously. It's cute.
Gentlemen, gentlemen, gentlemen, I can see the hillbilly inbreeding has not been kind to many of you.
Prior to the game yesterday Hecklinski had the higher ESPN QB rating134 to 129 (rounding). After the game Hank had notched up to 135. But if Heck was the starter whose to say those numbers wouldn't have been more tilted in Heck's favor?
Secondly, Hank's best FBS outing was putting up 40 on N. Illinois, who is 0-8 on the season. In his only start-to-finish game Heck put up 41 on Washington who is 5-3 on the season.
So while I am happy to see improvement with Hank, who knows how good Heck would be if he were givin the same opportunities as Brown.
Now I realize that everyone from Ragnar to Iowalaw is now sold on who is better, but we're not talking about a fair sample comparison, and they both know that.
I think if Heck had been sat for a series against Minny he would've come back in with renewed focus and lead us to victory. As it stands Hank lead us to a defeat and probably cost us a chance at the playoffs.
Now if you want to take the blame off Hank and Heck for that game and lay the loss at the feat of the HC who sucks whenever he has two weeks to prepare ... well, I can go along with that. I mean Capt. Centimillionaire gets the credit for wins, he should get the credit for when we lose.

I wasn't gonna bring this up but since Kcuck is pushing false narratives in multiple threads I'll go ahead and say it.
Hank is 5-2 on the season. He owns both losses because he got the majority of snaps in both games.
Heck is 1-0.
Now it's impossible to know our record if the snap counts were reversed, but the above W-L record is reality.

Credit where credit is due. If he can stay on track, and Lester can find a way to ignore JF's input ... maybe ... just maybe

Hank Brown Named B1G Offensive Player of the Week
He was fully healthy for Minnesota, he was benched. That gameplan seemed designed for Hecklinski, after Brown's performance against Wisconsin you have to wonder if Iowa wins if Brown starts and plays the whole game.
