I don’t care what people say, the guy is a flat out winner. He’s carried this team on his back and won us so many games. This is literally a four win team with any quarterback since 2020 manning the offense. Thanks for the memories Mark. You deserved better too!
Mark Gronowski
- Thread starter BringBackBradBanks
- Start date
I agree he is a gamer
Best fullback we’ve had in a long time
Best fullback we’ve had in a long time
Well with Spencer or Deacon or Cade we are lucky to win four games this year.
Don't get me wrong. I actually enjoy this season.
He took an 8 win roster and has won 7 games with one remaining
Born too late. He is the perfect Big Ten West QB
As an overall qb yes, as a passer? Stratton is better, sully too
Either of those two on the roster and starting and this Iowa team wins four games. Period.
How is this provable or quantifiable? Just from my perspective, as I watch all these games through every single weekend he's probably the bottom QB of each weekend game that I've ever watched. Now listen, I'm trying to be impartial here but he is not a good quarterback If a team has to rely on passing at all.
We haven’t been able to pass or run at the quarterback position in five years. Now we have a quarterback that can at least run.
I appreciate everything he's done for the program, he's been a great leader. But once this season is over, it's time to move on to a QB who can pass accurately.
This!
literally the worst passer. His stats show it.
Iowa was bailed out by 21 today. Over and over he made plays and scored a TD
a competent QB and Iowa wins this game by 30+ points
MG doesn’t give up. And he will complete 2-4 very nice passes a game….and with Kirkball against bad teams, it ends up being enough
against the better teams????? Yeah no
We haven’t had an even below average big ten quarterback in five years.
MG is one of thee WORST QBs I’ve seen. He’s honestly a linebacker or fullback pretending to be a QB.
He’s been somewhat disappointing throwing the ball. But none of our quarterbacks could throw the ball with any accuracy the last half decade. And Mark is tough and can run. He’s not overweight or skipping out on senior day because his feelings are hurt. He’s a step in the right direction.
Like I said, he’s the overall better QB

Well, that’s certainly a ‘glass half full’ outlook.
That’s not an easy mindset considering how A$$ we still are on offense. Good on you.

I don't think we truly knew the impact his shoulder injury would have on his ability to throw the ball accurately. He wasn't like this at sdsu.
Wrong. We could have a high school junior starting at QB and still win more than 4 games.
That’s how valuable our defense has been to Iowa and Kirk. Just imagine if we could actually put together a decent group of offensive starters……….
I'm gonna argue. He is a winner but he needs to throw more. He is a poor decision maker. We learned many times that a shot to van derzee is an option. He never goes that route. Gill was open many times. He never even looked. He doesn't fit with the team, but yeah, he tries hard.
For what reason? To get to 8 wins??
It’s time to look forward to who will be our QB in ‘26.
He’s a gamer. I just would like to understand why QBs here continue to not see open WRs down field and continue to miss them when they do see them.
Team MVP. 4-6 without him. Gronk is a legend and needs to be appreciated.
You must have been in a coma the last few years of Iowa Football; glad to see you pull through!

Funny how we had to rely on the pass on several final drives that ended in touchdowns this season..........including this past Saturday coincidentally enough.
Time to stop trying to make a point.
