Poll: Which Player Do You Think Is the Most Disgrunteled By Kirk?

A. Bethard - burning another year of eligibility on the bench when he was told he would get a fair shot at the starting qb position while watching the starting qb put up some of the ugliest numbers in recent memory

B. Powell - lead all JUCOs in yards per catch and come to Iowa to be the man, only to be targeted once or twice per game.

C. Daniels - was a prime candidate for a redshirt. Is our most highly touted, most well-rounded back. Burned the redshirt because the staff said he was "too good to keep off the field." After the first game, has seen very limited carries since despite being healthy.

D. Canzeri - probably our best playmaking running back. The only guy who has proven he can make guys miss and turn short plays into long gains. Sees limited carries due to Kirk's preference of 2 yrd per carry Bullock.

E. Tevaun Smith - has shown flashes of brilliant. Has all the tools to be a big time WR. Gets a couple of targets per game.
 
I would vote B then A......only because Beathard has more years here if he wants it. Just terrible how our talent is going to waste in the Dink and Dunk Nightmare that is Greg Davis's offensive offense.
 
I doubt any of them are disgruntled. I think all of them are
mature enough to be working hard to do whatever is asked of
them to help the team.
 
Judging by Smith's reactions after his catches I'm tempted to go with him. But CJ just seems to obvious to pass up.

I'm sure every team in the history of teams has had at least one person that was upset about his play time.
 
News flash: Every second string QB worth his salt believes that he ought to be "the guy." If he does not think that way, I don't want him around. Unlike some of our posters, that does NOT mean that that same backup won't do everything in his power to be a team player, help the #1 guy, and accept the fact that he may have to wait for his opportunity. The same posters who are trying to plant a seed in this thread about players being ready to transfer would be the first one's to ***** up a storm if we had a #1 QB get injured and then have no one to replace him. Has it occurred to you that every team needs depth at any and all positions? How many 2nd string QB's have you seen forced into action against Iowa this year? How did they do? Think they were still engaged in the team?

It's funny how on most teams the 2nd team QB comes in and they do worse. Ours comes in with a 10 point deficit and wins the game. Ironic, don't you think?
 
I hesitate to do this because they are kids, but let's take off the blind hatred and look at it differently. First off, I'm sure they are all frustrated about last week. Now-

A. CJ, perhaps he is or will be a starting B1G QB. Perhaps he is better tha Jake. But people are clamoring for someone that has completed less than half of his college passes. He might not have as many teams looking for his potential 1 year of eligibility if he transfers as many think.
B. This juco super star had offers out of JC from iowa and Ohio. Not all juco leagues are equal.

C. Daniels. He's a sophomore. What has he shown you this year that he is better than the upperclassmen? Seriously, point to a single play.

D. Canzeri. If he was healthy what you typed might be true. However,He's a situational back, not a bell cow

E. Smith. Yes iowa would benefit if he got the ball more. His potential for big time status? Depends upon your definition of big time.

I agree with you but what's alarming is the total number of players that could fit here. It's conceivable every running back, wide receiver and tight end could be in this group.
 
I don't know if the players are getting told directly how much they'll play. A bad sign of a coach/business manager is when players/employees don't know what to expect from the coach.
 
Derrick Willies needs to be on that list too. That comes from inside the locker room. KFz may lose him...and can you blame him?

He could transfer, sit out one year and have 2 left somewhere that would throw him the damn ball twice as much as he'll get in 3 remaining years under Ferentz.
 
Maybe disgruntled is a bit strong of a word and tries to put words in players mouth that they would not use themselves. Maybe a better term would be "improperly utilized." That term could be upheld by stats that show they bring desired results when used properly and thus is less suggestive toward what players may be feeling.

i like the list you have and would like to add Weismann to that list especially after the Maryland game.

"disgruntled" a strong word? how about pizzed off.

If I was CJ, stuck around with the promise of a real shot at playing time and watched what I've watched...I'd be pizzed.

If I was Willies, and despite all the obvious success I had in Spring ball...rarely saw the field...or the ball...I'd be pizzed.

If I was Powell...and after clearly showing my game-breaking skills...saw myself mothballed when the team needed me most...I'd be pizzed.

If I was Canzeri and continually watched KFz use a slow power back...on outside plays...I'd be pizzed.

If I was the entire offense and I saw one more predictable checkdown into a short side run for 2 yards...I'd be pizzed.

If I was Tevaun Smith, and despite looking like a breakout player for 2014, rarely saw a ball thrown my way...I'd be pizzed.

And if I was a season ticket holder watching all of the above...I'd really be pizzed. And I am.

Hey fellas I got it. If Kirk played CJ then half that list would be solved. Man wonder why kirk hasnt figured that out yet.
