The State of Iowa Basketball

I'm not slighting Baer at all. Tom Brady isn't the most talented QB ever or even in his generation. By making that statement it doesn't take away from his greatness, his stats or any of that. On a much smaller scale that is how I feel about Baer.

With the exception of maybe the 86-87 team, Baer would have had a role(and a significant one) on every Iowa team the last 35 years. That's how strongly I feel about what he brings to a team. So when I question his "pure" talent it is not a dig at him.

Same here.

To me, Baer is kinda like Jeff Moe (whom I watched a lot growing up). Different “games” between the 2, but similar in that that both Seemingly awkward and unathletic and not remarkable in any phase. Yet always gave an important 12-15 minutes and would annoy the opposition and do some important things. Will be greatly missed
