The backup QB is always the best on the team, duh. Anyways, I hope OP is right, but this just seems to be a thread about bashing AM, or having some weird obsession with Smothers.
I’m not in the know at all on this but I could see this being the case, or at least I’d hope it’s the case… they should be putting together a pretty simple/ basic game plan for Logan so he can make quicker reads similar to how 2AM was his. Freshman year… so not saying Logan makes quicker reads but I’d think the play calling should kind of put him in position to make quicker reads
Concern #1. Decisions on quick outs and not giving up pick 6 which iowa is good at. I can live with 35 down field pick but a pick 6 and it’s game over
Do you mean the early season Martinez or the guy that has been hurt the last month and barely runs at all?
Iowa has 21 INTs this season. Just "throw it up" against that defense is asking for trouble...... but if he does decide to chuck a rainbow downfield, then its Allen not Manning that you want to target - that guy is having an All-Big Ten year.
It's a ****** thing to do. But some people just have to be ********.
He needs to learn the plays....dude was having Martinez tell him what to do before almost every play.
Welp, not only the caoching staff but I saw him play his senior year in HS and plus I've been to a couple of practices this year with my uncle and he most certainly does have the fastest blinkers in the room and has the best decision making in the room as he is very deliberate at what he does. He may not have the stronest arm in the room but is more than serviceable plus he knows this offense like the back of his hand as his HS ran almost the identical offense here except different terminology. With him in there Friday, we may just see the tmpo game that Frost always wanted to run. Or we may see a similar gameplan to what we ran against Wiscy.
You don't teach or learn quick blinkers, either you have it or you don't and he does.
I seriously doubt that. So now you are hearing conversations between the QB's? He may have talked about coverages, what he was seeing from the D, whatever, but not "what to do before almost every play". That is a ridiculous statement.
To quote Ruth from Ozark, I don't know shìt about f*ck but...I think arm strength is a bit overrated. Especially in our offense. Does our line even have to ability to give time for long routes? If he's in there lifting every day I'm sure his arm strength is just fine.
Watch the game....he was asking Martinez on almost every snap.
He's stronger and in way better condition and has acclimated to P5 as he see's it everyday in the Blackshirts and the only ones that know the offense better than him is the staff and yes he knows the offense better than AM. Joey Ganz was the same way as even though Taylor was the stater, the only ones that knew the O better than him were Callahan and Norvell/Watson.
I'm really hoping you are right about his abilities. It will certainly be interesting to see.
