Iowa -7 vs ISU
- Thread starter YeahBuddy
- Start date
No offense taken. My point all along wasn't that Stanley was better just because they beat Ohio State. It was that if they had all these QBs that were better than Stanley, surely they would have put one in at some point when things started going off the rails, but they stuck with Barrett until the final whistle.
Brandon, you're all bark and no bite. CyTwins is who he/she is in regards to Iowa, but we've had a reasonable conversation. You're over there flailing around trying to land any punch you can when you can't back up your initial point.
Ohio State wasn't going to pull Barrett even though they had a backup better than Stanley. Cmon
I guess I could see that in their position of keeping their playoff hopes alive.
On the other side of the coin, nothing has been done to back up that OSU has 3 (now 2) QBs sight unseen are better than Stanley. That has been my objection all along.
Burrow is better than Stanley and he didn't play in the game last year
After it's all said and done, you may be right. But as of now, the burden of proof is on you. What makes him better than Stanley?
The fact that he doesn't play in the Kirk Ferentz QB School.
But seriously, saying a bunch of untested QBs are better than a P5 starter is pretty asinine by itself. Blue-blood effect at it's finest. That can change just a few games into a season, but beforehand, it's a ridiculous assertion comparing results to potential.
I feel I should clarify that you could compare guys on potential. You could look at a 5-star QB out of high school and say he probably has a higher ceiling than a 3-star guy with one season of experience, for example. However, that's based on potential. Can't really present that as objective fact, so the delivery of that comparison would be critical to define whether or not it's horsehockey.
Too bad for LSU. I'd like to think they could get a better starting QB than a grad transfer with 287 career passing yards and 2 TDs.
I'm not hanging my hat on anything. If you think the Fumbler sees the field at Ohio State you're insane
