All Iowa Football Team---Post Bowl Edition

Kempt was more accurate than Stanley. Yes or no?

Kempt was better at holding on to the football. Yes or no?

Stanley put up worse numbers while having a better OL. Yes or no?

I'll gladly wait for your 3 word response that should read something like this "Yes, yes yes"

Kempt was marginally more accurate than Stanley. Stanley turned the ball over a lot at the beginning of the season and improved greatly as the season went along. Iowa’s OL was bad in pass protection; I don’t know enough about Iowa State’s OL to form an opinion about whether Iowa’s was better.

So to summarize

Yes

Yes

Iowa's OL wasn't good



I can handle that. Now you know why you look silly arguing about the Fumbler compared to a player like Kempt
 
As an objective viewer, please explain the Wisconsin game in greater detail to us and make some sense about him being a better QB when the Iowa offense laid a steaming pile of yeahbuddy against Wisky. Don't want to hear excuses as the QB is supposed to be the leader on offense.

Wisconsin’s defense manhandled Iowa’s OL. Stanley had no time to throw, and when he did his receivers were never open. The OL couldn’t open holes on the ground, and Iowa didn’t have the players to create YAC in the short passing game (other than Wadley, who Wisconsin did a good job of covering out of the backfield). Maybe it was on the OC for not calling a better game, but with Iowa’s personnel at a complete mismatch, I’m not sure what Stanley could have been expected to do.

So basically for you, it boils down to Kempt having less turnovers? That’s what makes him better in your mind?

Turnovers are a huge deal and hes more accurate so yeah. 66% to 55% is a gigantic margin.

You literally think Stanley is better because he has a strong arm like Jantz

The adjusted completion percentage was within 1.6%. That is a marginal difference.

I use stats when I am not familiar enough with the players I am comparing. I wouldnt know much about ISU's 4th or 5th WR from last season.

I saw Stanley play every game and watched Kempt quite a bit last year too. Its obvious, to an objective viewer, that Stanley is the better QB.
Kempt and stanley is toss up at best

Well there you have it. His completely objective eye test is a far better indicator of a better qb than stats. End of thread.
 
I seriously don't get this thought process. Statistically Kempt is one of the best returning QBs returning this year in college football and you guys talk like he's not good

Statistically, Garza is better than Lard but you would never say that.
 
Kempt has played in half the number of college football games as Stanley, but has 2 wins over top 5 teams.

Just sayin'.

Pretty sure he's the first QB from either school to do that in a season, ever.

Stanley probably has some nice potential and from what I could tell he probably fits Iowa's offense. But if his career doesn't go all that well it wouldn't be the first time Iowa's hype machine was ahead of a QB's actual talent.
