Will Iowa ever have a QB that can throw

[longtimer]

Gronowski has some talent but he is j u st not a good passing QB. Been a long time since we have had one.

Gronowski is one of the reasons this team has bed. In every game this year. He’s a fine QB, in my opinion

He has missed a lot of open receivers this year.

Including a couple yesterday that would have changed the game. Gronowski is better than anyone we've had since Stanley. Still just an average P4 QB.

Over-the-top hyperbole, but there is a point.

Gronowski is a gamer and has some moxie, but his accuracy at times is surprisingly awful, and, his misses are not just occasions where the pass should have been "front shoulder and not back shoulder." He's been off by several feet at times with relatively routine passes, something you wouldn't expect from a QB with his experience and success.

It's almost as if he has forgotten the importance of using the lower body, something that QB coaches preach in order to be consistently accurate.

Perplexing.

This is a factual post.
It's utterly bizarre to see Gron repeatedly, in game 10 of the season, still throwing the ball at receivers' feet on simple screen passes, or throwing it in the dirt 2 yds in front of a WR who's open 15 yds down the field.
Repeatedly.
And the most striking thing about these throws is that he's rarely under pressure when he's throwing them. Iowa's OLine this year is one of KF's best, and most of Gron's errant throws have come with no pressure...that's what makes them inexcusable.
