One more thing on this b/c it's such a BS comment for you to throw out there, I'd take Considine, Sash or Pagel over Donatel, Law or any other safety we have on the roster in a heartbeat.

Dude, you take Internet message boards too seriously. I'm sorry my world view of Iowa football doesn't fit with yours. I see systemic problems with the philosophy and schemes. You apparently see the problems as a blip that will definitely get better. Good for you, keep the optimism. And...

Nope. Just from watching the games live and on TV. I think the fact that you brought up skin color says more about you than it does about me. There's a reason Donatel hasn't seen any legit playing time until his 5th year walk-on season. He's just not that talented. There's a reason the...

It's all relative. I'm comparing him only to Donatel. He is clearly quicker and more athletic than Donatel to my naked eye. If you see it differently, that's fine. I'm only going by what I see in person and on TV. To me it's pretty clear Law gets from point A to point B much quicker. No way...

He's clearly quicker, more athletic, and didn't have the benefit of 8 starts prior to last week. Where would Law be if he started the season and played regularly? I don't know the answer, but my guess is that he would improve with more playing time. He's clearly quicker and more athletic, and...

Those stats are all fine and well, but are those stats for yards or points? I could care less about yards. Also curious where Iowa ranked against BCS teams.

Hey, most of us saw enough to know Law should have been playing ahead of Donatel. Seriously, you are right. The staff is absolutely maximizing the potential of the offensive players. Also, there has been no change to the offensive tempo or philosophy. Not sure what everyone else wanted...

I will reserve ultimate judgement on the Davis hire until next year when he hopefully has a better QB to work with on the offense. That said, KF did what I thought he would do, and what I was afraid he would do: hire a professional assistant, old dog who wouldn't shake things up too much and...

I haven't seen anything from CJ to show he is anything other than an average tightend. But the problem is that the offense results are well, well below average. As I said earlier, the talent is not great (including CJ), but it's better than the results being produced. The other thing on CJ -...

Agreed, this is a total cop out. Davis, Bullock, Manley, CJ are all more than capable of making and playing on a Big 10 roster and it's not like the offense was lighting it up before our two best lineman were injured. The current talent may not be first team all conference, and you can...

The 2001 team had an senior runningback that started in the NFL. It also had a senior fullback that spent some time in the NFL, along with a senior receiver that spent time in the NFL. The entire offensive line was loaded with upperclassmen which the following year turned into the best line in...

I see your point. At the very least, one possibility coming from this is that Rudock concludes KF has zero faith in him or his abilities right now to not even let him get some snaps last Saturday, especially after KF could have let JVB finish on a good note with the TD pass to Davis. Rudock is...

That could be an option too! Point being I wonder if he is frustrated, fine, anxious to get in, doesn't care, etc. because the conclusion a lot of us are reaching based on the way JVB is playing is that Rudock is very, very bad right now.

The more this gets discussed the more curious I am about Rudock's state of mind. Is he, "I agree with coach, I'm not ready", or "I am getting tired of this notion that I'd wet my pants if coach put me in. I want a chance."

Things could get worse, but there is plenty of season left for things to get better, and Iowa is very much alive for a decent bowl game. I don't know whether there is another guy on the bench that could play better, but it's clear KF is all in with JVB. So for the love of god I hope they start...

I would agree when looking at Brad Banks purely in a vacuum he wasn't "ready" to be a full time starter in the Big 10 when the season started against Kent St. But you can't just look at Banks. You need to also look at McCann because that is who was playing in front of Banks. I don't intend to...

Lost in all of this "Rudock isn't ready" is the apparent assumption that JVB is "ready". Right now, for whatever reason, he clearly is not. We are not talking about marginal or serviceable QB play here. We are talking about a QB that is in a complete and total mental funk. Another horrendous...

I think most of the QBs did get better, except for the glaring, glaring inability of Iowa to effectively execute a 2-minute offense (and 2-minute defense). How different does 2010 turn out if Iowa could have either hung on to a lead down the stretch or executed a competent two minute drive down...

I am 100% able to accept Rudock is not ready to play Big 10 football right now. I am having a very hard time accepting that Iowa currently doesn't have any QBs on the roster ready to play Big 10 football right now, which is apparently the case. I feel bad for JVB because it doesn't look like...

No way KF gets fired nor should he.
