QB Situation

Re: QB Situation

My 82 year old mother with cataracts said during the fourth quarter: Is he only looking at one guy to throw to? He's not looking at anyone else, is he?

Re: QB Situation

uh, have you noticed how bad FBS QB play is this year? show me some deserving QB's that should be on that list. good luck.

his numbers are better than locker and everyone loves locker and projects him in the first round. plus he's 16-3 as a starter so he is doing something right.

Sorry for the mini hijack, but Stanzi can't hold Locker's jockstrap. Throw Clausen from Notre Dame in there too.

clausen is better, but your first comment is one of the most absurd ive read all year.

Re: QB Situation

Locker is a good QB. He has just played on some terrible teams.

Re: QB Situation

i never said he wasnt good. i have seen him play at least a half dozen times and have yet to see him do anything that would make me pick him over stanzi, let alone use your description. sure, he has more rushing yards, but he also tucks and runs instead of keeping the play alive. kiper has him as a 1st-rounder and i will laugh my ass off if anyone takes him that high.

There's that objective 9yr we know and love.

Stanzi is the starting QB on an undefeated team, and while he has been inconsistent at times, he has played very well when the team has needed him the most. He deserves credit for that, and I'm not shocked to see him on this list.

That said, Stein's statement wasn't absurd at all.

Re: QB Situation

I haven't seen alot of Locker, but what I have seen I have been impressed with his arm and his athleticism.

But I have seen alot of Stanzi, and what I have seen from him is alot absolutely terrible accuracy, and some bad decison making. Iowa runs a very simple offense, and somehow he is able to overthink things too often. For example, the other night in the MSU game, Iowa ran a one man route on that throwback play to Moeaki in the endzone at the end of the game. He didn't have to read any defense, he just had to see if he was open. Moeaki was double covered, and he threw it anyway, and it should have been picked off. Sometimes, he just has his mind set on where he is going to throw it.

Re: QB Situation

Iowa is undeated dispite having Stanzi as QB, not because Stanzi is the QB.

The defense should get credit for 95% of Iowa's wins.

Re: QB Situation

Exactly. The defense has really made the plays that it has needed to make this year.

I guess you missed the MSU game. You are showing your (lack of) knowledge for football. In the last game Iowa defense did not score and did not recover a turnover.

Re: QB Situation

Has anyone else noticed that Grace seems to really favor one side of the field? I've had multiple people point bring that up when they've watched him play. I wondered if others had noticed it?

Re: QB Situation

the fact that this thread started as UNI qb talk & has went to hawkeye talk is a joke. Where are the moderators?

I laugh my ass off at the seletion committee for the Davey O'Brien award. How can Stanzi be a finalist, other than playing for an undefeated team? I'm glad to see Iowa undefeated, but Stanzi is a small part of it. He's decent, nothing more. This whole thing is a classic example of know nothing, never played media totally overhyping the QB position. Hello McFly, there are 22 players on the field, and throw in some more on special teams.

As for Grace, let's see how he bounces back from his mistakes.

Re: QB Situation

QB will always recieve a disproportionate amount of credit or blame. do you think this is a new phenomenon?

the spread fad is killing QB play in football as a whole. you laugh at the O'Brien list but I challenge you to name ONE quarterback that belongs on the list who was omitted.

stanzi was brought up by a panther fan trying to mock iowa in this thread and was subsequented pwn3d by the davey o'brien list and MSU game.
