so he is this guy?

No this guy is dumber. He's trolling now though

Petras has a good arm. Needs to master the mental part of the game.

LOL

 

[Cyclones1969]

No he doesn't

He can throw the ball hard. He has no other appreciable quarterback skill though.

 

[mattyheiden]

Football isn’t for everyone. He’s still enrolled and will get his degree.

One has played significantly more games. Those awards were well earned but I’m just saying, don’t sleep on Campbell. When healthy, he’s a difference maker.

No, you were "just saying" Cambell is better than Rose. LOL... I wouldn't "take your linebacker evaluations" over my 5 year old daugther's

I dunno. His evaluating skills and draft knowledge appear to be on point.

 

[mattyheiden]

You think he is better than Purdy, right?

No. Purdy’s body of work speaks for itself. Heck of a college QB

But Rose's doesn't?

Apparently getting a stupid amount of tackles year after year doesn’t do much for people with keen football evaluation skills.

He's no Djimon Colbert that's for sure

Campbell will be the best LB on the field. Probably the faster LB corp like most years.

ISU uses their TEs well and will use all three on most downs. It helps with their pass pro and keeping defenses off balance. Not the most athletic group but very effective.

Dude this is bad. Like really really bad.

 

[Statefan10]

I think the bar is higher for Campbell. He’s a playmaker, Rose is a tackling machine. Just an opinion. Rose is better than Josey Jewell fwiw

Rose had 6 (SIX) interceptions last year which led the Big 12..

Apparently getting a stupid amount of tackles year after year doesn’t do much for people with keen football evaluation skills.

Not to mention that the keen evaluator is trying to compare a Mike LB to a Sam LB. Rose has proven in the past that he can excel at the Mike position. Then he agrees to change positions to allow a talented teammate to be on the field and proceeds to make plays all over the field against both the run and the pass. Campbell sits in the middle of an Iowa defense that is designed to funnel everything back to the middle where he is capable of finishing the tackle. He is actually not a bad player, just not an elite one like Rose. He would actually be a decent backup to share time with Vaughn behind Vance.

 

[Cyclones1969]

No

You gotta admit, that guys Goodson better than hall take was pretty epic though, right?

Listened to Scott Dochterman on KXNO a few minutes ago. His hawkeye slant really shows. Just like so many condescending hawkeye fans, he said:

• this is Iowa State's year
• we likely won't ever have this good of an opportunity again
• 5 years from now Campbell could be gone
• Iowa State better make the make the most of it this year

In spite of all the depth we've developed and the excellent recruiting classes we've got coming in, many folks take for granted that we're still a "rebuild" school, not a "reload" school. Given our poor history, I guess I can understand that, but it still grinds my gears. I'm going to enjoy our guys proving the skeptics wrong in the years to come.

Leah Vann was hired to take over Morehouse's beat at the Gazette, and she's been really good. She's also spent a lot of her first few months covering Iowa women's sports (both active teams like field hockey and soccer during their postseason runs, as well as underrepresented history). She's a huge Texas fan (from Texas and a UT-Austin alum), but also had a stop at the Mason City paper before going to grad school at Northwestern.

 

[Pope]

She's bragging that her and her friend's teams destroyed the Big 12. Boy, the Gazette really knows how to pick em. I'm sure their bias against Iowa State will turn around right away.

 

[JM4CY]

Well…. **** that chick.
