Beathard vs. Richardson
- Thread starter jahfg
- Start date
Beathard looked good when they stopped rotating QB's ever series and actually let him get in a rhythm. Every Rudock series was a waste. Iowa is actually starting a RB at the RB position, and a QB at the QB position. Let's revisit this conversation after the game and then again after the season. Beathard hands down.
Yep, you're right. It just seemed like he did. Rudock was 2-8 for 32 yards, Beathard was 13-23 for 145 yards 2 TDs and 1 pick.
According to the USA Today coaches salary database, Ferentz earned about $4.1 million in 2014. That ranked ninth among the highest-paid coaches in college football.
Can't be that great if it wasn't good enough to force it's way past the natural ice that was Rudock for two years.
I will be curios to see How Capt Kirk responds when Beathard has a 3 interception game. He may pull in the reigns on his gun slinging QB then.
Before the 2014-15 season I heard Ex QB James Vandenberg talking to some farmers at the Farm Progress show. He told them then that Ruddock would probably play the entire season because it drives Ferentz crazy when his QB takes chances ala Beathard. Even when it works. We will see if the leopard can truly change his spots.

The job was clearly Rudocks after he won 8 games his first year as a starter. Problem was, he regressed. And, Id say he did a pretty good job earning his (CJ) way into starting. He was a year younger, was more wild than JR, and wasnt, at first, "kirks guy"
Rudock was the better QB last year, this year who knows. It'll be really interesting to see how CJB over the course of the season, especially because if he gets hurt Iowa is screwed
I'm a fan of Sam, but go ahead and give him that KU game. It's not like 1 -15 would change the argument. :no:
He was? And dont throw out his comp %, either. Thats been proven time and time again that the comp % doesnt tell the whole story.
Im not saying he was worlds better, but if he was the better QB last year, wouldnt he still be starting at Iowa, instead of Michigan? Or do you know more than the coaches?
You said yourself CJB had too small of a sample size. Rudock was and always has been a horrific QB.
In no way shape or form has Rudock ever been a better QB than CJB.
