This is where the NFL contracts can really screw some guys over especially the franchise tagging. Its my opinion with George's personality and likeability the majority of his career money isn't going to be made from the NFL but other endorsements. If he can become the face of a brand such as...

There are only 4 heads on Mount Rushmore though and as good of players as either one of those guys were they do not take any of them off. Now if you are doing a ranking of a top 5 or top 10 then they are for sure on the list but I don't think either are top 4. Just my opinion though

The QB dynamic is interesting and cannot be underestimated. I just recently listened to an interview with a former Viking (Can't remember who it was) who was talking about playing with Favre after he came over from GB and he said once Favre got familiar with everyone the belief in him and...

All of these polls are just for talking and gaining some hype for pre-season. They don't mean anything until at least week 5-6. The last poll is the one that really counts

I get it but you are always just an injury away from getting some PT. Look how many guys we were down last year at the beginning of the year. Lots of things can happen pretty quickly. Too bad as he seemed like a good kid, hope he does well wherever he land

My take on it was with DJK's failure to finish and getting in trouble I think KF really felt bad and felt some failure on his part as well. From all reports he tried to use a tough love attitude with him and it failed. Also, lets to be honest he is one of the top 1 or 2 naturally gifted...

I think scheme has played a part as well and in particular based on the talent at back in the game at the time. I don't think you can just have one system for all. If you take Wadley and Daniels both could cut back and had the speed to create a big gain but the overall traits were much...

Agreed, it was glaringly apparent that after we had the injuries there were guys that stepped in that were not ready and unfortunately had been guys in the system for a few years such as the Paulsens. At some point you have to live with your recruits and hope that they step up when given the...

Agree about Kobe and some of his traits being manufactured and I think some of that is from his relationship with Michael and how he was asking MJ for advice on how to get better. I also think if you go back and ask Kobe's teammates about him as a guy and what he was like I think it would be...

Part of the issue with the run game is guys either being injured or forced to play before they were really ready due to attrition. If James Daniels hadn't left early it would have given some guys an extra year for experience. Then looking back as recently as last year we had some crucial...

Your Avatar answers your question, its Iowa. Same reason why Garza didn't win POTY. Iowa isn't the sexy pick and nothing is going to be handed to you, you'll have to work for it every year. How many 4-5 star kids out there would come to Iowa and expect to start from day one and not have to...

It is going to get very interesting for ALL teams/schools if this pandemic lasts into the season. You have Minnesota and Wisconsin already talking about major athletic budget issues with the AD at Minnesota saying all options are on the table. How will this affect recruiting? How does this...

A little slightly off-topic but with the documentary on I am getting a ton of old NBA games etc coming up on my youtube recommendations and I forgot how good Jordan was in his brief stint with the Wizards and that was after being done for a few years. Early in the 2001 season he was a...

Fortunately for me I was able to watch both Jordan, Kobe and Lebron play. With the documentary show now everyone is talking about whether Jordan is the best or is Lebron better. Its my opinion that Lebron isn't even in the top three. With Jordan, Kobe, and Wilt being top three for me Jordan...

ESPN just ran a story about the NCAA coming out and talking about the alleged severe violations of Kansas. Will the NCAA finally have enough guts to really punish Kansas, Louisville and the other cheaters? The NCAA has really blown a lot of big cases including North Carolina, Penn State, and...

Get on Youtube and watch some of the videos of the prep BBall teams. The level of competition isn't even close to what they can get in most states especially Iowa. If he can develop his game and become one of the better players playing against that kind of competition he can pretty much write...

The way I see it if Garza comes back we should have a minimum of 4 guys averaging double figures no question. I would like to see Garza's point average drop a little with a rebound average increase of at least 2. If Luka can average 20 and 11 we will be in good shape. The issues we can't have...

That has to be record for any position and makes you wonder why Iowa doesn't t get much interest in some of the higher graded TE recruits and the bottom line for most I beleive would be winning championships (both national and conference)? Rob are you able to dig up the stat on how many of...

It used to be on youtube as I remember watching it but I think the account that had it posted was busted for showing copyrighted games. It was a pretty rough copy as many of the older games are but was still fun to watch. Not sure why Youtube has to crack down on stuff like that. I am pretty...

In terms of the QB play I guess how much of a difference would spring have made since it is so far from the season anyway? How many different things or new things are they working on besides him just getting most of the reps now? He should have always been working on the mental reps and from...
