Anyone here who would make that trade? Either of our QB's for a "proven" starter in Jake Christensen. Sorry, I would not.

NO. 
Even though they haven't played a season yet, I think they both have way more potential than JC will ever have IMO. | |

The only way way I would even remotely consider it is if I had a keg of Jack Daniels tapped into my arm via IV drip for a solid week. Brain cells would be gone and so I would have the objectivity of the typical trailer trash hawk fan and would take him over Tom Brady even. You know he is the next Heisman winner right.......
OH wait, that's the back up QB......SORRY

Maybe if I were shooting for the bottom of the MAC, I'd make that trade.

Honestly, how do you even know? JC had some bad passes, but he had 2,500 yards and a 17/9 TD/INT ratio. The thing holding him back was his 54% completion rate.
Oh, and his uncanny ability to swallow the ball instead of throwing it away. Both are fixable. I guess we (Iowa fans) will have to hope he has fixed that frustrating little problem.

Sorry, I would not. you use the word "proven" like it is a positive word. i would have traded shaggy for him, but then put him on the bench with his parade all american award from high school. i would have done anything not to watch shaggy miss another game winner. | |

On the other hand, I would not trade JC for either of them.

The answer is "it depends".
Are we trading because we want a quarterback or are we trading because we want a statue to post outside the stadium?
If we're looking for a quarterback, then no. Arnaud and Bates are unproven, and Jake is proven. But he's proven - statistically - to be the worst quarterback in the Big Ten and one of the worst in the country. Why would we trade two quarterbacks who both have potential for that???
On the other hand if we're looking for a statue, then Jake is the man. | |
