Digging now. It's no secret there was some tension between him and the Ferentz klan this year but there was people around him telling him to transfer not go to the unemployment line
Tyler Goodson announcement
- Thread starter JP4CY
- Start date
That's too bad. Seems like a good kid and his dad didn't even pay me to say that.
My sources said he was well liked by his teammates, I guess Brian wore on him.
What is this like valuing a RB vs his offensive line thinking if you have the best offensive line any RB would get yards?
I usually thought Goodson was their only chance of advancing the ball on offense. I didn't think their other backs looked equally dangerous.
So Breece is #38? What does that mean? In terms of his skills he is definitely not anywhere near the 20s let alone 30s. Tyler Badie is #61 and he's nearly the statistically best RB while playing in SEC?
At the very least you didn't disparage him about grades that you have no idea about. Good work
Wow. I just looked up his stats.
1 running TD, 1 receiving TD in the last 10 games.
So by this logic they should quit the team after like one game? When they are eliminated from the national title hunt? Conference title?
I'm not buying this. If you can get 1100 yards with that dog turd of an OC and very poor QB play, you can't be too bad of a RB.
He's pretty bad. He was a bottom half of the Big Ten RB and that's not a league with many good RBs
Don’t understand this move by him. He should transfer somewhere where he’s used correctly and maximize his ability. He’d have to absolutely kill it in workouts or the pro day er whatever to possibly get drafted. Idk I was never impressed with him. Could’ve been offensive play calling and bad blocking but the dude just got swallowed up by defenses on the regular.
Not a bad gig, honestly. Those guys still make north of 100k
Iowa met (exceeded?) their expectations despite fielding one of the worst offenses in FBS. ISU did not meet their W-L expectations despite returning a ton from last year's team.
In the data-driven rankings I prefer (because I understand how they work and agree with their assumptions), ISU and UI are ranked similarly in the high teens. These are based off of play-by-play or drive-by-drive data and are adjusted for opponent. Some have ISU higher; some have UI higher. But the difference is less than 3 places.
I've said this consistently, but head-to-head is WILDLY overrated when it comes to measuring the quality of a team. There is too much variance in the sport for any single game to mean anything. If it weren't, there wouldn't be upsets.
Goodwin was wise to pursue the NFL.
Starting RB's with some ability should jump to the NFL after their junior year. IMO RB's don't become better runners with more collegiate experience. Sure, they can become better receivers or pass blockers. But they can develop that on the practice squad and make some $.
There are a few exceptions, but most RB's have a 5-7 year career at most. So if Goodwin has the ability, he might as well get his NFL career started.
Plus, I sensed as the season progressed that Gavin Williams was getting more series vs. Ivory Kelly-Martin use as a 3rd down back.

When you draw a team like Kentucky, pry not a ton to motivate you. I guess they have their excuse.... if he has to play a backup, will kirk even go to the game or will he "stay in Iowa City?"

I was laughing at first but this might be a good idea. There were 20 RB's drafted last year. Iowa's line could be even worse next year with no Linderbaum
