I am not sure who duped who. Cade has not been the QB I was promised (promised by who you say? Well, no one).
I am of the view now that Cade is a lot closer to Petras than he is to the QB I thought he was. These guys dominated in high school and Cade was great at Michigan. But, when you are playing behind a good offensive line with skill players that have NFL skills, you just have to distribute and manage. Maybe Petras at Michigan 2 years ago wins 12? Iowa is not good enough to win with a game manager. We need a guy like Nate Stanley that can pull the ball down and run over people when the play breaks down. We need CJ Beatherd to gun sling a few balls down the field. We need AmeriStanzi, Tate or Banks making plays with their feet, arms and head.
I am just not seeing a playmaker out there. Looks like a gimpy kid with no answers back there who has lost 3 of his best weapons. Hopefully he gets right quick with a reeling MSU squad at home.
