Is Stanley the future?

People on here most definitely speak in 'absolutes' all the time, that's why I pick on some. You apparently don't understand what talking in absolutes is. When someone says, 'he has that 'it' factor' he is speaking in absolutes (Teleological statements that will not tolerate any variation/Spoken as a statement of certainty). People speaking in absolutes, starts about every argument on here. 'You are an idiot', is speaking in absolutes, as I am saying that I'm absolutely 'certain' you are an idiot. Now, of course I'm not talking about you, I'm just making a point and if you guys haven't noticed, it's mainly when people are speaking in 'absolutes' is when I have a little fun with them by speaking 'absolutes' back to them.......Some of the sharper ones on here have already figured that out....

Did you even read my post? I said twice in the post that this was just my opinion. I spelled it out. That's not an absolute at all. I made it very clear it was just my opinion.

Go back and look. Now who is the idiot? That's an absolute.

I think when you're on a message board, it's pretty much a given that you're giving your opinion and not speaking in absolutes. I absolutely know that's how people with good reading comprehension take posts on here.

When someone says "he has the it factor" most intelligent people understand he is giving his opinion. Reading is hard when you're a douche.

Well, I will disagree with you ol PC. Because if people weren't speaking in 'absolutes' they would be open minded when presented with opposing 'opinions' or presented with 'facts' that are contrary to their 'statement' (absolution). But that is not what happens and you know it. You 'question' or contradict anyone and the 'fight' is on........'Uninformed' opinions should be stated like, "it seems to me", or "in my opinion", or "from the way I see it", etc... but that's not what posters do. Assuming that everyone should assume what you mean, makes an ass out of you and....you! :)

I fully admit that I felt like a dork when it was the first thing I thought of after reading his "absolute" post.

Yep that's why I deleted it. Felt too much like a dork. That was the worst line in movie history tho.

I assume by "open minded" you mean "change your mind every time I throw something out there". And some assumptions are obvious enough to assume. To me that is one of them.

In my opinion, yes he is. He has the it factor. I don't think any of the guys in front of him have his talent or potential at the QB position. I think Cook and Boyle could eventually play at TE and WR, but I can't see them being the starting QB. Weigers, to me, is a solid backup guy. I hope he stays at Iowa if he doesn't get the nod. It's always nice to have a veteran guy available for both leadership and experience on the bench.

Again, this is just my opinion. Weigers hasn't shown me much. I've seen Weigers in practices several times and he never really impressed me. Stanley impressed me in his very first public practice. That says a lot.

Excuse me, but your statement 'yes he is' ties to your opinion. He has the it factor is a new sentence and spoken as an absolute if you want to get pissy and technical. And please share with us what qualifies you to know what 'it' is, that you can identify 'it' in one scrimmage and how many times have you seen Weigers 'practice' and what were you looking for to be impressed and how many times have you chosen the starting college QB out of a pool of candidates??? If you have no qualifications or experience in this field, who gives a cr** about your 'opinion', lol...besides you. lol. You just don't know how humorous you guys are. Go up to Coach Davis and tell him what you just told us and he'll look at you like he's wondering where your meds are, lol.... "Hey Coach Davis, I drive a Swans truck but I just wanted to tell you that after watching Stanley go 3 for 17 against the 5th string after 10 days of practice, I can tell he has that 'it' factor so I think you should move Cook to TE and Boyle to safety even though you've already moved him to WR....blah, blah, blah.....You REALLY don't understand how ridiculous you sound, do you? That is kinda scary........and really sad for you....

The only thing more ridiculous is pulling out old threads and acting like the posts were written yesterday. You would have to be a complete idiot to do something like that.

Huh? Your last 2 posts have not made any sense to me? Have you been drinking? Does PC stand for 'P'ass the 'C'hronic? I'm probably just too stupid to get your scathing insults.......
 
CJB has it! Not Weigers, not Boyle, not Cook, not Stanley. They all want it but can't get it. Next year someone else will have it. What is it? The starting job! And there you have it! Right Icke?:)

Wow. You are all over the place. I'm not even going to go there. You're clearly just trying to argue with everyone and your head is up your ass.

I don't argue with everyone. There are thousands of members here that I haven't argued with. And if you read more, you'll see that I have a lot of good conversations with 'stable' posters and folks with a little sense of humor that don't take themselves as seriously as you seem to. But that's just my perspective.

^^^^ What delusion looks like.















vvvv One of his alts defending him.
 
Getting back on subject; Could someone please tell me if Stanley was highly recruited? Just curious as I didn't follow his recruitment.
 
He wasnto that highly recruited. We were on him early and gained a commit. I think he really shut it down the. Although the Badgers came very hard after him in January if I recall correctly.

He was not. Pitt and Iowa offered early. Chryst was at Pitt then. When he moved back to Madison, Chryst went hard after Stanley pretty much up to signing day. Iowa coaches did a great job finishing up the recruitment and Nathan stuck with them.

As for the Stanley hype from Saturday, I would say it's premature. I liked what I saw but I also saw a guy pretty confused out there on too many occasions and one that had some happy feet and missed too many easy throws.

I'm not saying he won't mature this year and compete with Wiegers and the others next spring. That could happen. There's also a chance Wiegers or Cook could improve a great deal.

There was a time when nobody thought Stanzi would play much if at all here. He was behind Jake Christiansen and Arvell Nelson. It's hard to say how guys will develop.
 
This is just waaaay to funny. Hawks ICKE and PC, both experts :cool:going at it. Where is Dean? Soooo many perfect experts.:p
 
Back to the subject, one of the sad things about all this is that the Iowa backups rarely get any playing time under real conditions unless they are thrown into the fire. HF did a much better job of getting backups ready.

It seems under KF that the Hawks don't have 2 good quarterbacks on the roster and both ready to play. Let's face it, Iowa's seasons go on how the QB goes. A great program should have a good one ready in case. KF never does. Banks doesn't count as he was far and away better than the guy who got the most snaps. McCann would have been a solid back up for Banks that year.

Well that's rude. When did I ever act like an expert? I just like to throw in my 2 cents, preferably without getting belittled.

FWIW... I believe some of the guys who played with McCann and Banks have confirmed that Banks was lost in the playbook that year. So lost that you couldn't tell what kind of talent he had. Which obviously made McCann the clear choice.

Couldn't agree more. Jamarcus Russell had maybe the strongest arm ever but couldn't read a defense to save his life. Let's be optimistic about Stanley but tap the breaks on him being an All-American.
