Could not agree more. But, if McNamara does not recover and KF forces the new OC to continue to start Mount Deacon, I just don't know there is much the OL can do. 8 man fronts present one more guy than can be blocked. Without a competent QB, the OL is basically playing against a D that can sell out nearly every play.
There is no way in hell KF goes back to Deacon. He would go with a true freshman first. Come on. K F knows Hill is done at Iowa.
I hope you’re right
What makes you think that?
I wish I had your confidence in KF's QB judgment.
Fair point and agree.
Because Deke is clearly beyond hope and KF ain’t that dumb.
Man I want to agree with you on this part yet he still had Hill out there for how many games? 7 or 8 plus left him in the bowl game for 2 more quarters then he should've. So until he puts out a depth chart with Hill not on it or 4th I just can't assume he'll do anything different. Hill can't be #2 behind Cade no matter what the rest of the depth chart is.
There was only a true freshman behind them. KF hasn't played a true freshman since the last century. That is as close to an actual rule as it gets for PT. I elsewhere saw that Lainez will pass Hill in spring ball. I agree.
Yup totally get that too. But if they could develop QBs at all Labas shoulda been in instead of Hill. What they did was just a pretty wild way to run a program. When you look around the country you'll see true freshman getting thrown out there. I think KF is just so archaic. He wants guys (WRs too) to know the overly complicated playbook frontwards and backwards before they take a snap. (a playbook that they never hardly attacked a defense with that's mostly played within a phone booth but that's another topic for another thread)

Well if the freshman is 10x more skilled and able to play physically you cut down the playbook to what he can handle and master and go to work. Build him up gradually on the field in games not on the scout team.
How KF and BF went about attempting to develop QBs had been laughably terrible. Petras and Hill the last 3 yrs or so have played some really pitiful football. Now I say that and you watch Petras will go to Utah St and just air it out and set records...
Eventually is often too late.
So..are you suggesting that Kirk knows Hill is terrible and yet played him every down since game 4, without giving another QB a chance?
Of course he knows.
