Nate Stanley is a.....

Just checked Wikipedia. Brees tore his ACL as a junior in high school. Despite a stellar senior season he only received TWO college offers, Kentucky and Purdue. None from his home state of Texas despite being the Player of the year in Texas as a senior.

Now legend has it he approached Hayden and his staff during our Alamo Bowl with a video in hand of his career highlights. We were already committed to McCann.

Hayden wasn't the only coach who was mistaken.

Fair enough, but I knew something was off with Hayden's recruiting when he gave a scholarship to a guy from my HS. Dude was nowhere near Big 10 material.
 
If he would have redshirted, this would be the seventh game of his sophomore year. Stanley's a nice guy. Kirk is a nice guy too. Give them both a break.

I’ll also give the guy credit for answering tough questions after the game. The reporters weren’t sugarcoating their words and he stood there and took it. Didn’t say much insightful but he didn’t shy away either.

Players are made available after games and QBs are typically expected to attend post game interviews. Don’t give him too much credit for doing what is expected of him in a leadership role.

Brian’s been protecting his inadequacies for 2 years now and actually making Stanley look good (albeit vs inferior opponents...yes, like the Gophers).
 
... work in progress, but after a season and a half, he should be further along. I am starting to wonder if some of that is fixable.

And it wasn’t just a couple plays. That fucker under or over threw everyone, and from his first intentional grounding penalty I knew he was going to F us over. The rest of the team left it all out there but he fucked us. Nate Stanley isn’t mentally able to play B1G ball at even an above average level.

Let him transfer somewhere and start the next chapter of Iowa football. Even if Mansell sucks it won’t be worse than what we have now. Stanley should not be a Hawkeye after this game. Nothing but mental errors all day.

He cost us:

7 pts on the INT

7 pts when Hockenson was wide open

7 or 3 on the last int

We only lost by 6, guys. Stanley singlehandedly fucked us for 21 pts. That’s enough to hit the pine for the year.

I think we all knew Iowa’s D would play well enough for Stanley to win the game if he played well. He didn’t. He had a horrible game and he knows it.

Having said that, I have to assume the POS who made the above post has been banned. If not, I’d like to know why.
 
Alabama, Georgia, Miami (and formerly Clemson) are just a few of the teams down here who actually play the backup and often replace the starter - even in the National Championship game. These coaches are patient, but not stubborn. If the starter is having an off day, eventually they don't hesitate to bring in the backup to try to change things up.
Perhaps Brian/Kirk could consider this strategy. Make it clear to the starter the job is theirs...subject to performance. Remind him they have a very good backup. Remind him that everyone has an off day now & then. Let them know the backup will be getting some reps regardless -the only question is how many.

And all of those teams have five stars backing up five stars.

But as horrible as Deace Jr. played, Mansell should have come in for a couple of series to see what he could do.

Oh people do get banned. Who was that guy that thought he knew everything about Iowa football that made fun of everybody on HN. You'd think I would never forget his name.

That might literally describe every poster in here.
