I am serious. I've coached HS sports (not football), but coached my son privately as a QB. Watched Piland from Houston work with his Dad (an attorney) over and over and over on footwork as an 8th grader. Ya it's hard work. So?
Too many smelly and unwashed cretins walking the paths.
Do you guys remember when Chandler absolutely erased a scUM defender (can't remember if it was a DB or LB) on his way to the end zone in '03?
Go to 2:28 for the play:

Agree, though I’d add that the other glaring issue is that Petras does not go through reads. He locks onto one receiver and has no idea what is going on elsewhere on the field. I think (also as a non-QB coach, obviously) that this has hurt his pocket presence at times, because if he has spent the four seconds since the ball was snapped staring down LaPorta or Jones to his right, he doesn’t see the pass rusher break a block to his left. Had he looked anywhere else we would’ve seen the rusher coming. He’s taken at least a few sacks that I recall that would’ve been obvious throwaways if his cone of vision had moved left of the right hash at all. I think he gets serious tunnel vision at times. Obviously there are also designed screens and if there is an OL that just gets beat at the snap there’s not much Petras can do, but this hasn’t always been the case.
Some of the biggest smelliest folks you’ll ever see in those waters.
When would you put him in?
Candidate for dumbest post of the week, or month.
If we are down at half by 2 scores or more, and Petras is struggling, yes, I,d give the kid a shot. Now a question for you: How does the rest of the season look to you if Petras goes out with a broken hand, foot. rib etc... and a backup QB with no experience?
Well gosh then, why don't we just have KF send Petras your way. I am sure you or your buddy can work with him for a couple hours in your backyard and have all his mechanics worked out in no time! I am sure you have a better approach to solving these issues than a QB coach who has been coaching for 4 decades.
I would say that every year, teams lose a QB to injury and have to replace him with an inexperienced team mate. It’s pretty rare that the replacement has a lot of in game snaps. But, like Padilla, practice reps are a serious focus. Coaches are not dumb. They are fully aware of injuries. Getting game experience for a back up QB is over rated.
Didn't Nathan Chandler lead an Iowa team to a 10 win season?
This was covered in multiple threads over the summer. KOK has limited time with Petras at practices and its usually on the playbook and routes. This is why Petras went to a QB guru for several weeks prior to fall practice.
I like my qbs to throw lots of tds and few ints. Stanley was better than Petras is as a qb.
No he didn't. Don't you know, Iowa wins despite their QB.
