We cannot judge a player by just one half. We need to see CJ perform the way he has the next few games before we hand him the job on a silver platter.

Would you stop embarrassing the name "Sparky". Ask Jon if you can change it, please.

If he gets the chance, which he probably won't.

I just think people are drinking too much of the CJ koolaid with a very small sample size. If he continues his performance trust me I'll be right next you chanting CJ for Heisman.

You seriously think Bullock is a better running back than Weisman?
Bullock's 22 yards on 12 carries against that powerful defense of Iowa State's proves it. He missed the cut lane every time he carried the ball against ISU.
Watch the Pitt film and tell me how many times Weisman went down on the first hit.
Bullock hasn't broke a tackle all year.

I agree, but will he get the opportunity? That seems to be the $64,000 question.

You need to work on reading comprehension. I never said anything about Bullock being better than Weisman.
I meant that using the theory that he gets taken down after one hit is stupid since Weisman is the same way.
Bullock is a worse for a lot of other reasons.

Bullock does well out of the backfield, but Canzeri could certainly take those, as he has shown well thus far.

I was around the other message board that Jon and Rob used to run together. Almost everyone on that board knew that Stanzi should have been playing instead of JC. We heard the same nonsense from a few of the die hard "support the coach" fans, back then. "I think KF knows more than some message board arm chair QB". Guess what? You were wrong then and so was KF. Pardon us all if we don't put any stock in the "KF knows better" opinions. It has been proven in the past that he doesn't always know better.

Once again, I have to agree with Thunder. I saw the same thing.

I personally don't care who starts, although in my opinion CJ did earn the right. I think, if healthy, both qbs should get significant snaps and both should get multiple series, with the most effective qb getting more. To not give CJ at least the opportunity to continue to stay hot would be pretty undefendable, regardless if Jake starts and plays well.
Both qbs have shown ability and different strengths. I like JR and the guy was a gamer last year...that said, the O has struggled other than about 5 drives in the first 3 games, and the 2nd half last week. That could be due to many things.
Both QBs should play. The hot hand plays more.
Tons of room for improvement everywhere, including the game plan, coaching, personnel, execution, etc.
Just win this week and "clean up some things" the following two weeks in practice.
Win 8+ games, beat nebby, anything above that is a bonus. Anything less than 8 wins this year would be a disappointment this year.
Win this week and show improvement this week.

For all of you Ferentz haters, I will go with the basketball comparison at Iowa. Do you want Lickliter?
Sparky

I hate when people do this. What do you think? Do you think people want Lickliter? Of course not.
Do you want Ferentz who continues to lose to some of the worst teams in college football, is a joke with clock management, and is proven to not play the best players?
Kirk is never going to give iowa that shot at a NC which is what teams should strive for. Kirk can't even beat ISU a majority of the time.
Dude, Ferentz already is Lickliter for football. Staunch D, ball and field position control offense designed to limit the other team's opportunities instead of scoring lots of points.

Ummm. That is the point. We would like to see a little less lickliter and a little more Fran.

Prior to last weekend, Jake Ruddock didn't have anything to worry about regarding his starting position as QB.
Prior to last weekend, Beathard had only played in mop-up duty or when Jake was injured, but Iowa already had a lead in those situations. The exception was the Outback bowl.
Beathard has now orchestrated a comeback win. On the road. If that doesn't light a fire under Jake Ruddock to step up his performance then nothing will. Hopefully we see a better Jake Ruddock because he can see that CJ is nipping at his heals. If not, we will have a new starting QB by season's end.

There are certainly issues with continually trying to run MW East & West, but you completely lost all credibility with that comment.
