Well, you seem to think yardage means everything and the clones lost. Like I’ve said...no single metric tells the whole story.
It is still a Hawkeye State

I know, that’s why I used that example. ISU made too many bad special teams plays last night, I think that had more of an effect than TOP.
Also, I thought I read Duncan isn’t on scholly? Give that kid one.

Probably hype. When people that work at places like ESPN say he can be a first rounder, it’s really tough to live up to it.
I have no ill will towards him and I give him credit for a couple of tough throws last night...I'm just not seeing where the NFL hype comes from.
I don't understand making fun of his size... that's unnecessary in my book.
He's definitely very skilled, it's just that he's so erratic. Last year he would throw balls in the dirt constantly 3 yds in front of wide open guys. Last night he threw some brilliant balls, but then far too many... "what the f was that" throws. Could have easily had 2-4 INTs if the ball just bounced different.
Just like Iowa is WAY too high on their team, they are WAY too high on Stanley too IMO. He's good.... but he's not great.
Well you have Iowa fans who say he's better than Purdy. I guarantee if ISU fans kept saying Meeker was better than Wirfs you wouldn't like Meeker
Arm strength and physical size as much as anything, but, not necessarily exceptional results, yet.
I like my QB to take care of the football. Not fumble it constantly....
I’m not sure if you truly understood the amount of irony in this post after some posts I’ve read in the last 12 hours.
Fans of all teams rationalize.
All of them.
TOP is an even worse example of that, though. Obviously we were gonna lose TOP when we had two TD's from 50+ out... That tends to shorten your possessions up.
If the NFL thinks they can teach him what a touch pass is, then I can maybe see it. That's not reality right now, though. Almost all of his passes last night were rockets, even when not at all necessary.
