10:1 Odds that McNamara starts

[hawkeye12345]

McNamara has a QBR of 34 which places him 15th out of 16 B1G QBs.

He’s immobile, lacks accuracy and touch, and now has 3 INTs and a few fumbles lost on the year and yet…..

He will start because Ferentz is too damn old and stubborn to make a change.

He said postgame, of a quarterback that hasn’t thrown a touchdown vs a power 4 opponent at iowa, that he’s “getting better”. Never mind he’s a 7th yr guy in his 5th season. Can’t run on top of that. It’s very clear, & I’ve said it annually for years, this staff is way over their heads when it comes to quarterbacks

This could be Cade's last chance. Kirk has made QB changes before but Kirk's pattern is usually to wait one or 2 games too long when it's obvious it's time to change the QB.

I mean seriously, can Cade even throw a completion that is over 20 yards in the air? I am starting to doubt if he is even capable of throwing the ball that far.

One or two games too long? Are you for real?

We went all last year with a QB that resembled a sumo wrestler more than a QB.

We are 5 games into this season and we have played a weak schedule and the guy has one of the worst QBRs in the country.

Maybe he meant seasons and not games.

McNamara is delivering the promised improvement at QB that so many have been predicting.
Last year's QB was 16th.

They just need to go with Sullivan. I mean c'mon! Throws a better passing % and has mobility with chance to extend plays and gain some yards when needed. It's a no brainer. I'm about done watching them. Seriously, I'm to the point I don't want to schedule my Saturday's around Iowa football games. It's the same old chit with the QB each year. The offense looks the same and KF won't let Lester cook. There might be more pre snap movement and some wrinkles but the play calling and timing of calls is exactly the same with no downfield pressure on defenses.

I'm going to start making a point to make sure I watch the IA State games. People on here might cringe at this but I watched them Saturday night and the offense was refreshing to watch. Spacing, RB's getting gaps and consistent yards and the passing downfield is noticeably a ton more than Iowa does. It's a drastic contrast to Iowa.

KF....................LET LESTER COOK with Sullivan!
