Is that your real argument. Nate got the ball off. If you're on the field it's your job to know the situation. Good lord

In that situation you have to be certain everyone is on the same page... Stanley is the person with the ball.

Just can't hurry up and risk things when the game is on the line... and you have 3 timeouts left.

Rather than hurry the play up faster than it's ever practiced and fire it into the teeth of the defense.
 
Geeze relax he is just a kid! Love him when he wins, hate his guts when he loses... can’t handle getting the Cheerios pissed in. No business winning that game after Hawks got spotted 2 safetys...

Then shouldn't the coaches see that and call TO? Again everyone else on the team but Noah got it...don't know how you're not getting this.

But "good" qbs are hardly as erratic as this guy. He has flashes of excellencee but when your team has thr advantgae and your emplore your will to lose like he did, you are not "good". You are a head case.

But its the coaches fault they didnt sniff this out and be prepared for operation self destruct.

I posted my criticism of Stanley in a thread after the Wisconsin game. Still stands. He he has the tools. He just doesn't have that extra bit that a good QB needs. Head work. Ego. Competitive drive.

Oh it's definatley also on the coaches... but evidently Ferentz was trying to call a timeout.

Even if Fant turns around the timing was still too fast..

I'm not getting it because there is nothing to get...
 
Disappointment today.


I’m not much for benching starting QBs unless they are bad.

Today was a game for the taking with average QB play. He was about as bad as a QB
could be.

Mansell should have come into the game and Stanley should have been told it was going to be for two series.

If Mansell struggles then put Stanley back in and say it’s not our day.

If Mansell moves the ball then you tell Stanley this is about the team winning so Mansell is the guy for this game.

Why did everyone but Noah take their routes then????? Because it's fun to run around?

Like I said just wait for the video and commentary. I'll link it for you when it comes up. Highly doubt you are going to find anyone taking this it was "Noah's" fault line of reasoning.
 
Nate is your prototype 8 and 4 quarterback. Good enough to win the easy games but can't handle the stress in the big games. What really hurts him is that this coaching staff has a history of quarterbacks being less effective after a successful season. I have attached the latest promo from the coaches.

Yup. And some of the blame has to go to the coaching. What was Noah doing for most of the game?

Iowa's defense is good but they can't beat their offense and our offense in the same game.

Exactly. But we're not allowed to blame Saint Ferentz('s) for anything, according to you. Take your pick. Either we CAN blame Stanley and NOT the coaches...or we CAN blame the coaches and NOT Stanley. We don't care what choice you make but you have to pick one. You can't have it both ways.
 
Stanley is not a leader period. Doesn't have any guts. He panics, plays scared. He should have called a timeout down there when he threw the pick. Total chaos, panic, a high school qb would have called a timeout. He will sometimes play well against crap teams like Minny, Indiana, etc., but he will never win a meaningful game. His accuracy is absolutely awful.
 
Nate Stanley is a slightly above-average QB who has shown zero ability to win the big games because of his mental weakness yet will be the starter in perpetuity.

In other words, a typical KF Iowa quarterback.
 
Option 1: timeout
2 qb draw
3 throw it out of endzone
4 spike it
5 take the delay of game
6 intentional grounding
7 let our punter play QB
8 try a drop kick for three points
9 coffin corner punt
10 punt in endzone
11 thrown in INT

And they're ready for the snap on top of that. Noah had no idea how much time was on the play clock. Everyone on scrimmage but Noah went. I don't know what to tell you.

Both parties screwed the pooch on this play. Noah with no clock awareness and slow reaction to the snap. Stanley even worse to rush the play. To pre snap adjust under 8 seconds is dumb. To throw the ball to someone's back at the goal line is mind numbing. That whole play was a hot mess. We had just put together a coherent drive though so I was able to chalk that one up.

What I can't get over were the terrible throws through 3 quarters. Stanley did not manage this game. He threw before receivers were breaking on routes. He threw into the dirt. He sailed them over guys heads. It's not just 1 throw that Stanley can't get. It's literally every throw every other throw. He makes them sometimes and then is nowhere close the other times. It's maddening.

I agree they did, the weather didn't help
 
Stanley is a 2nd year QB. These highly paid DCs have plenty of film on him. They design defenses to make his job difficult. Better DCs will be more effective. Having seen how poorly he played through 1 half, BF should have started someone else in the 2nd half. When 1 player struggles that much, it's not fair to the rest of the team to let him stay in the game. The back ups practice too, right? They sacrifice. They put in the same amount of hard work as the rest of the team, don't they?

"Next man in" only counts for scrappy defensive players and linemen, and not pet QBs, silly.
