Michigan is a bunch of underclassmen. They are going to disembowel us.

"Their reasoning was:

1) This was the slowest Iowa team in 25+ years.

2) Iowa had absolutely no skill players for JVB to throw the ball to.

3) They offensive system that was implemented at Iowa was an absolute joke. Especially given the fact that it is predicated on speed and skill players, of which Iowa had zero."



And this all happened while the head coach was in his 14th year at the school. If I try to realize this too hard I start to deny reality too. I just can't fathom that a team can have this bad of season with a coach in his 14th year.

I mean, look at those three bullet points above. How!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How, can you be ok with ferentz still being coach?????? And don't give me the line that "well, he's gonna be here no matter what cause of the contract."

I have said they will win five games this season. I am doubting that now. The program is worse that I thought.

It's called a coach coming in that is trying to run a system that the team doesn't have the players to run. That fact you can ***** at KF and GD for not making changes to the system to maximize the players on the roster's skill set.

That said it was pretty clear from our recruiting this year that GD wants guys that can catch and make plays after the catch. Will it work? Who knows but that is where things are at. Don't get me wrong the 4-8 season blew but there are reasons for the crappy O this past year.

I graded/projected JVB as a 4th-5th round pick coming into this year. Figured he'd have a good senior season, and build some momentum for the draft; obviously didn't happen though. In a workout context JVB is likely to perform very well as far as the throwing goes. He'd fit as a developmental prospect for a team that wants a non-running QB. His biggest issues are accuracy on the move and outside the hashes. Most teams aren't likely to have a draft-able grade on him at this point, but it only takes one team.

Not a good year to draft a QB.

A range of talent and skills there. I do think that JVB will score well in some areas of what NFL scouts are looking for: size, arm speed, release. He won't in others, at least based on what we've seen.
 
Maybe this speaks to Capt'ns coaching abilitly? or lack of.... they can see talent in the kid even though Capt. couldn't do anything with it.
 
Dude is going to be blown away when he learns you are supposed to get past the first down line and not get as close as possible without getting to it.

But, that aside he has a great shot to land on a roster for a team that has a package consisting solely of 1 yard out patterns.

Bray,Nassib,Wilson and maybe Smith and Glennon, have some upside could be potential starters down the road everyone else are practice squad guys, 3rd stringers, visor and clipboard week to week unsure if you are even going to dress type.
