Jacob Park

Ok, this dude has to be Park. Elite arm? Looks better in practice? You can apparently can gather a lot more from a highlight film than I can...

I mean, this is why Iowa fans make fun of us. Our 3rd string QB (2nd string due to injury) who was playing church league football two years ago, who has never played any D-1 football, who we plucked from a junior college who doesn't even offer football, is now tearing up practice and has an "elite" arm. Classic.

He may be a nice football player, but to come to such a sweeping conclusion based on nothing is absolutely laughable. He has literally been on campus like a month-and-a-half. I'd love to know what you are relying on to make these ridiculous claims.

Some of us are a little more connected and have a better understanding than others. But even in the highlights you mention, Park also looked better because he was typically the one in the highlights.

Ok, so you are "connected", go ahead and tell us what you've observed that leads you to claim he has an "elite" arm?

The fact that they said they want Park on the field before Lannings struggles tell you all you need to know about his potential.

We'll see about that.

Well, there's like, 4 years of posts confirming already. I didn't even need to use my sources.

Lol people really hold Iowa State choking away 6 wins last year against me.

It's cool man. People try to hate on me too, even after 247 quotes me about my reveals. But my sources are actually real. And I'm almost always right.

I like this new site. It is fun to watch Pants talk to himself.

Twist those words a little harder and you might have a shot at a career in politics.

Sources. I have the best sources. Nobody can beat my sources. Believe me.

YUUUGE sources.

It's Pants, there's nothing about him that's YUUUGGGE I'm told.

Change for change's sake is a bad strategy. There were a lot of things that Lanning did right in that game (~65% completion percentage for example). I don't have an issue with bringing in Park for some snaps to see what he can do in a game situation but Campbell has already said he is going to do that. If the coaches don't see that he is ready to supplant Lanning, I'm not sure why just throwing him out there and benching Lanning would be a positive strategy.

I don't think Park is going to be ready to catch a pass as a hot read receiver. I don't think he is going to block correctly when the defense is bringing the house. I don't think he is going to block the defensive lineman or LB that is going to open the hole for the RB. I don't think Park is going to clean up the holding penalties on the OL. I don't think he is going to ensure that we don't have 12 players report in on special teams. Those were all issues that contributed to the loss that changing QB's is not going fix.

Agree that Lanning starts. If he plays well then you leave him in. If Lanning struggles you need to give Park a shot. It is all up to Lanning. Sounds like Park has potential though.

Park looks better in practice? If that is true it is complete insanity not to give him a chance. I was assuming that it was a Winston situation where he looked bad in practice but might be a "gamer." There are a lot of guys who give it 110% every day and they deserve respect. Winning at this point is more important IMO.

They are planning on giving him a chance. Not to immediately take over, but get him some reps and see where he's at since he hasn't played in awhile, or at this level ever. He hasn't even been here that long, he's behind.

Same story as Warren last year, except Warren was here a year longer... And not out of football for a few years.

The backup QB always is the favorite and has potential.
