Iowa Football Recruiting

The thing is you can tell if a QB has that "it factor" or not pretty early IMO. Beathard had that. I would say even Stanzi and Tate had it. It appears Purdy has that as well, I mean the kid knocked off a top 25 team on the road in his first start looking like Baker Mayfield out there but that is still very premature. The one thing we do know is Stanley doesn't have it
Stanley just isn't consistent. He has "it" sometimes. We will see if Purdy has "it" consistently or not.
Agree to disagree. He has all the tools but I don't think he has any of the X factor to be a good to great QB
Some intelligence is involved and obviously these clowns are lacking in that department.
If by "it" you mean a pizza ranch craving, then yes Stanley has it.
He is capable of having "it", just needs to be consistent with it, which he hasn't shown he can do yet. Still not a bad QB by any means and he is pretty good. But he has a ways to go to be great.
I wouldn't say a middle of the road Big Ten QB is "pretty good" but to each their own
Well I feel he is pretty good, but to each their own. We already know you really struggle to judge talent.
You either have it or you don’t. Not something you can sometimes have. If it is inconsistent, then they don’t have it.
Bingo. Iowa's had QB's that had it previously, they don't have one now that has it
We know how stubborn kirk is with QBs so if I were an iowa fan I'd be worried. Not sure why mansell hasn't had some meaningful snaps? Oh well I guess something's never change.
Seems like you can't judge QB's at all. Obviously Richardson and Lanning didn't have "it" and CJ did. You were wrong about all 3 of them.
Stanley is a good QB and will be drafted after his Sr. year. His Comp. % is up 6% over last year. His Yards per attempt are up 1.3 Yard from last year. He is on pace to increase his total yards by nearly 600 over last year as well.
Agreed. I'm not sure I ever said Richardson was better than CJ and if I did it was because he was proven to be average like Stanley. I said many times CJ was a better QB than Lanning was
Stanley is a middle of the road QB in a conference with not great QB's. Those are the facts
Q. The four guys that were suspended, you mentioned you might have them doing something different this week. What was kind of the -- what did you have them doing instead of playing in the game?
KIRK FERENTZ: This past week? They did community service work. It's a pretty standard rule we have. They got four hours in on Friday and eight more on Saturday and missed the game. But they're in mind and spirit, and they came back Sunday and we've welcomed them back, and they're all doing a good job. Really happy with the way they've handled it. Obviously wish they hadn't been in that situation, but I think they've handled it the way we would hope, and what's most important now is they continue to do that, and I expect that from all four guys. I think they've got a great attitude.
He won't unless his dad speaks to the media about a possible transfer.
ISU QBs are like 'Spinal Tap' drummers.
Let's just hope the Purdy kid makes it through ok.
