Jake Vandenberg

[Igothawked]

He's a D1 QB who can't make a pass if his primary read is covered. That's not so good.

This is exactly what I am seeing also.

LOL you guys had like 10 drops and couldn't get any push in the run game, and you're blaming it on the QB.

Your team looks pretty S***** too guy.

So don't get to giddy.

sure are....if recievers.catch the ball the ball.moves ya clown. isu offense didn't do squat either so keep talking.

ISU did a ton we got 3 TO's in the red zone....so you can say all you want they moved the ball just didn't finish, our D is better then I thought they played their hearts out in the second half but this team thanks to Greg Davis sucks and will not beat UNI either.

Has not played well in crunch time in 16 starts. Simply does not perform under pressure. Like him a lot, but we should move on. Won't happen, but should. Let the ruddock era begin.

Agreed. If we can't get a 10 point lead on UNI.....Rudock deserves a chance. Need a fresh perspective.

JVB will not be a pro QB. He'll be a doctor!!!! He's going to make a heck of a lot more cash than most of the rest of you haters!!!! Give it a rest.

Be careful, if its an emergency he wont be able to operate in a clutch situation.

Jake the snake incarnate. He may throw a better ball than Jake did, but he is a worse leader.

The real problem is that we won't have any idea how the new QB will be next year either because no matter how bad Vandenberg is, he won't make the change.

It really does feel like 2007 all over again. We just got the directional Michigan loss out of the way early. At least Vandy is a Sr, and we can find a playmaker to start the year instead of having to feel it out for 3-4 games like we did in 2008.

Meant Vandy, but it isn't worth the edit.

Not a fan of platooning QB(s), but it might be time to see what you got.

 

[AreWeThereYet]

Anxious men cannot play quarterback. Under any presure Vandenbergs mind tends to disappear into an adrenaline cloud.

 

[Tierney]

How about quit blaming the players and start blaming the coaching staff.

Plenty of blame for both parties.

That is in other threads.

Jake was a highly touted QB that was a bust. JVB was not touted as highly and was a bust.

 

[Tierney]

I wonder how Derby will turn out now that he is playing quarterback again?
