QB position got thin quick

[Hawkfnntn]

So from what I've gathered so far for this week is Cade is out due to a nasty concussion. Resar is hurt and couldn't play even if he hadn't switched over to WR and Lainez hurt his hand and might be unavailable. So we have Sully and that walk on transfer kid Jackson Stratton and that's it...

The reason I think this really sucks for this week and going forward depending on how long the others are all out is I don't think KF and Lester are gonna be as apt to use Sully in the running game nearly as much as they normally would. We just can't afford to get him hurt at all. So he'll be encouraged to get rid of the ball quick and I'll be surprised if he has anywhere close to 5 plus carries in this game when normally I would say 10ish would be on the table. And none of them will be called designed plays I'm sure he'll just run when he sees nothing there and coaches wished he hadn't.

Can Deacon Hill transfer back and save the day??????

From what I read, Lainez can play.

While I would not be calling a ton of QB draws, the reality is that running is part of Sully's game and he is going to take some hits. Lester needs to call the game needed to win and not worry about injury. Almost every NFL team enters each game with only 2 active QBs.

Exactly. Run the offense that works well for Sullivan.

Sure, If he gets hurt, then the Iowa offense will struggle with whatever 3rd string backup that comes in. But at least the offense won't be struggling until Sullivan gets hurt. Next week Cade will be back and the depth problem will go away.
