That's what happens when you throw 50 times a game due to having no rush threat whatsoever.
(I haven't actually looked at their yards per attempt/completion to back this up, so I could get dunked on).

I have a feeling there's about to be a hard lesson in this.
Also, didn't Dekkers only throw 18 or 19 TDs? 3rd in conference with ~1.5 TDs/game seems...low.
School smarts doesn't necessarily translate to sports smart. I'd say it often does, but it's not a guarantee. Especially at QB, the most football IQ intense position there is.
He threw 11 in conference play along with 11 picks, he threw I think 7 TDs against Ohio and SEMO that helps to pad the stats a bit.
Worse than 4-8 would be a pretty big accomplishment.
New Logos and 49er uniforms. confirmed from the AD.
That stuff happens all the time and doesn't shed light on anything. I watched Enis Haywood break Justin Eilers jaw with a punch. Mike Banks and a JUCO LB (his name escapes me now, Tucker?) would practically fight every practice.

Yeah, football smart is snap decision making, not deep analysis. Knowing coverages and tendencies helps, but the decision to throw or not happens too fast to process more than "he looks open." However you develop QBs though, our staff isn't good at it given none of our QBs have taken a big leap forward.
Lots of big accomplishments by previous Iowa State Head Coaches. On a regular basis.
I agree, but if he doesn’t want to be here I’m ok with that. Just make it quick
I don’t think NIL is the problem, also NIL is very overstated in its impact on this board. Just look at A&M or the fact that Michigan doesn’t promote NIL (to the anger of alums) and is in the playoff back to back years.
I think people want a reason why guys leave other than just wanting to go/be somewhere else.
I do think it is a factor in some ways, but I also would guess outside of things like Texas paying their whole o-line, it's also really top-heavy. The ultra elite QBs and QB recruits will continue to make bank though, but that is not really something ISU is usually gonna get anyway.
(Kohl is rated pretty damn close to those guys though and balled out in competitions this summer against the best of the best. Not penciling him in as QB1 next year, but he's really talented.)
I dunno. CMC got on the big board at JTS and begged fans to contribute to ISU's NIL collective.
It isn't an issue at Michigan, perhaps. ISU is not Michigan either. We've already seen starters leave for greener pastures last year.
Problem is there is nothing but internet rumor saying that they were getting NIL. I know the one dude left for ole miss which is understandable but I didn’t know of any others that left for a “better” program
