So on roster they have:
Lainez who was buried on the depth chart last year...BEHIND Hill
A crippled McNamara who still doesn't seem comfortable on his leg
A so-called, "Tommy Poholsky"

Woof

I just don't see any way McNamara makes it through an entire season. Things will get pretty bleak after that if they can't find a decent backup in the portal.

Wow. Tim lesters offense must have proved too complex

Seems like Dekkers would be an ideal fit for multiple reasons.

Deacon Hill sucks, but the Iowa QB room is now McNamara coming off a blown out knee, Lainez who was behind Hill on the depth chart (and didn’t look capable of throwing a football in his limited appearance) and a walk on. That’s concerning to say the least.

For who? This is ******* hilarious

Iowa State currently has 3 QBs who would start over any of the Iowa QBs at the moment and they're all 3 underclassmen.

Deacon was a 4-star by most services and clear cut #2.

Last year they got Marco Lainez III (3 star) that had a bit more competition (Louisville, West Virginia, Pitt). Looked pretty terrible though.

Lainez (6-foot-3, 230 pounds) led his school to 9-0 records in 2021 and 2022. Last year, he completed 77.6 percent of his passes for 2,182 yards, 23 touchdowns and five interceptions while rushing for 573 yards and five scores. In 2021, he completed 80.2 percent for 1,761 yards, 21 touchdowns and two interceptions. In addition, Lainez ran for 451 yards and two scores.​

This year they got James Resar (3 star) with Georgia Southern and Florida A&M being the other main competition. Actually, he doesn't appear on the Hawk website.

Tommy Poholsky (0 star) walk-on with offers from CSU Pueblo, DePauw, and Denison, all D3 programs.

Looks like they've got Jimmy Sullivan (2-star) next year with the below HS stats (not real impressive)...

In nine games as a senior, Sullivan completed 54 percent of his passes for 1,508 yards and 18 touchdowns with seven interceptions. He added 406 yards and five scores rushing, according to MaxPreps.​

and yet, Iowa will probably go 9-3...lol
Defense and punting.

Ahh but this is where your wrong. There is no more B1G west

Have you seen their schedule? They have to go to tOSU but they get a gutted Washington in Kinnick and travel to a bad UCLA. This years slate is every B1G West like.

 

[Cydkar]

Ahh but this is where your wrong. There is no more B1G west

Their schedule is still soft this year.

 

[cyclone82]

Ahh but this is where your wrong. There is no more B1G west

They’ll be no better than 6 -9th in that pathetic league, no chance at the Conference title game and no playoff sniff….
They are quickly heading down the path of irrelevant status

 

[RagingCloner]

Their schedule is still soft this year.

Just ran through it. I was mistaken. However, I still only see 7-8 wins. Considering UI fans get pissed when they only win 10 games, this year might be rough

It's as soft as we'll likely get in the new B1G but still tougher than B1G West.

Are there any respectable qbs who haven't found their landing spot yet?

Everything's relative.

 

[7Got6]

they even gave him all the snaps with the 1's instead of letting the Sophomore QB! So they delayed development of one QB, their "starter is still unable to move, and their current #1 is out...all the while not going after any QBs in the portal...what a massive fumbling of the off-season for Iowa.

Lainez got more reps with the 2’s and 3’s than Hill got with 1’s. This also ensures they’ll be getting a qb in the portal. It’s hard to imagine that option would be worse than Hill.

 

[7Got6]

So starter is coming off a knee injury correct? Where are they sitting with backups?

Lainez is now qb2, almost guarantees they’ll go after another qb when another rash of qbs hit the portal over the next week.
