When debating who has the better talent, it's never wise to side with the team who has less players in the NFL than Troy, Old Dominion etc. and are 108th among colleges. Iowa on the other hand, has the 16th most. So when in doubt, it's a safe assumption the answer is Iowa.

Since I know SOS is bound to come up soon, since it's ISU fans default deflection (while seemingly ignoring our SOS was much higher last year) I'd like to point out that our Strength of Record is #20 to ISU's #45 ranking and our remaining SOS is tougher. It doesn't matter who you play when you can't beat them anyway.

He's a middle of the road Big Ten QB who will get drafted on potential due to his size and arm strength. I'm not sure what the NFL has to do with his college abilities. He's proven so far he's an average QB in a league where QB's aren't great. That much isn't debatable
Rico Gathers sucked at college football. Brad Banks was great at college football. Desmond King was fantastic at college football and didn't get drafted until late. I don't understand how you guys try to correlate the two
He finished his first season as a starter throwing for more touchdowns than any ISU QB in the entire history of their program, but yeah, he is no good. He seems to have improved from last year, but yeah, he is no good.
Not sure where he stacks up when it comes to that, just saying he is a good college qb.
Career 137 QB rating which doesn't include all of his fumbles which is an obvious issue doesn't classify as "good" to me in 2018 but OK. I mean that's the same as Park and barely ahead of Lanning and those guys played real schedules and I doubt you would say either of them were "good" and they didn't have fumbling issues
I think what he's trying to say is NFL players only equate to adequate to college players. That's why the mighty B12 and ISU put so few players in the league. Can't say I agree with the rationale.
Interesting first ever post. It's like you've been here before....
