Nate Stanley Learning Hard Lessons on Job for Hawkeyes

[CP87]

Some people aren't yet accustomed to the thetrza effect.

What I appreciate about his style is that he just throws 'em out there and lets them lay. He feels no need to follow up or to maintain a back-and-forth. Understated, yet effective.

He does fine work here. I've come to appreciate it.

For those of you that are fans of the Friday Night Lights tv show, I will use a FNL anology.

Wiegers reminds me of Jason Street and Stanley reminds me of Matt Saracen.

I think he's trolling...but since you said it, who are these crappy ones you're referring to? Like, the Iowa coaches? They've had a nice lil run with QB's here lately FWIW.

You think he's trolling? SNORT.

Just shows how good he is.

Or how bad everyone else is...

Good perspective. But I gotta say....at 17 months on campus I was... well, ok, not gonna post all of that here.

NS will be fine. Kid's got talent... and we have a couple of solid guys behind him. What the coaches DO...with him (them) is a bigger factor. QB coaching has never been the forte of KFz's program

I'm hoping KOK being focused just on QBs helps growth at that position.

Kind of like the old guy who used to sit in front of me at church and let out some nasty (silent but violent) farts. It wasn't so much the smell, but the burning in my eyes. Felt like I was going to a funeral of a close friend every Sunday. He knew what he was doing but just couldn't control himself. I finally wised up and moved back 5 rows after a couple weeks of that, closer to the ceiling fan.

Why did you wait a couple weeks?

LOL, creature of habit.

HawkeyeNation makes way too many excuses for Stanley. "He's young. He's only a Sophomore. No WR separation. WR to slow. Blah, blah, blah." It's part of college football to cycle through young players.

Truth is Brian has been calling great games, and gives him super easy throws and reads (screen, drags, flairs, outs) and the receiving core has made him look good. Then, Brian sets him up for a long pass, the WR is open and Stanley typically over throws the pass (when the play could have been a jugular cutter).

His underlying stats tell a lot too:

Non-conference Weak opponents: 61% completion. 10 TDs and 1 INT

Big 10 Play (yes, including that juggernaut Illinois): 51% completion %. 5 TDs and 1 INT

Rushing: 21 carries, -30 yards

Next week the Mighty PJ Flecks beat College Football's Most Boring Team 24-17.

Everybody here just lost IQ points as a result of this post.
