I'm strangely comfortable with it.

(Not trying to complicate the QB situation; but) watch the senior highlight video of preferred walk-on freshman QB Wyatt Bohm. That kid is an athlete, and is very good at quarterbacking a football team. He was the starting QB for two seasons. He passed for 5,623 yards, with 59 TD passes.

at this point, I don't even care to listen to Matt. He's a good coach, but we never get anything from him in any presser....he's the most coach speak coach I think I've ever heard
Wyatt is a big QB, seems to have good presence, situational awareness, and has a good arm. We may be very happy we have him one day. He also shows some escapability and some nice passes on the run.
I’m all in on Rocco and Kohl. Dekkers is obviously done at Iowa State.
Dekkers did fine given he had no protection, no running game, and only one target worth a crap. If those things don’t change, Becht will also get the hell beat out of him and throw a bunch of picks. Then rinse and repeat with Kohl next year. You end up with a string of guys who look good early on but by the end of the season are gunshy shells of their former selves. This is Rhoads level QB musical chairs unless Campbell can fix the OL.
Dekkers had poor judgement at times and turned the ball over too much. Bad decisions. We paid for the bad decisions he made on the football field. Dekkers will pay for the bad decisions he made off the football field. Wasted talent and potential. Sad.
Yes, he did make bad decisions on the field. But how much of that was the fact that he had no running game (after Brock got hurt), poor protection that limited the route tree, and only one reliable WR? He was far from good, but even an nfl QB would struggle in that offense. That’s what needs fixed more than anything.
I analyzed the hell of out this video
QB: Rocco
RB: Sanders
RG: Simmons
RT: Deylin Hasert, I think
C: Jim Bonifas
DE: Joey Peterson
DT: Orange
LB: Sadowsky
CB: Purchase
WR: Higgins
Don't forget not knowing when to turn up field. I don't know how many times he scrambled to the sidelines never taking a single one of the running lanes up field that he ran by. Sometimes you need to just tuck and take the 2-4 yards the D is giving you. Especially when you are a big guy and can get an extra 2 trucking a D-back in the process.
Looking forward to seeing him hold on kicks this year and maybe run a fake once or twice.
Sure! ISU v OU, 19-20 after a long ISU TD led by Rocco Becht, 11 sec. left in the game. "Iowa State is going for the tie in Norman. Hold on! It's a fake kick, Wyatt Bohm is running left, running for his life, now throws to Noel in the end zone, he's got it! A 2 point conversion by Iowa State!! Wyatt Bohm, the freshman walkon QB, to Jaylin Noel! Iowa State leads Oklahoma 21-20 with 3 seconds to play! Do you believe in miracles?!"
We had other problems as well. Turning the ball over. Bad decisions. Still happened when he did get protection.
I don’t disagree with you. But it’s tough to say how much is his fault vs being gunshy from being hit too much. We have a long line of QBs that looked really good their first few starts and about a year later, they were being replaced by the next big thing because they sucked all of a sudden. Why is that? Because they’re getting hit too much. Purdy is the only QB in the last 15 years to start all 12 games in a season. That’s not bad QB play or players, that’s worst OL in P5 year after year after year.
Coach Campbell said in the press conference that he's excited about the competition there is at quarterback. Over the years my thought is that when a coach says it's actually code-talk which means that you have a problem at quarterback. And usually it means a BIG problem at quarterback. Especially if the coach is saying it coming into the fall. You'd rather have at least one that is head and shoulders above the rest.
However, under this circumstance I don't feel that way. Dekkers was #1. But suddenly he's gone. So yeah, the response two to three days after the news breaks about losing your #1 is that there is a competition at quarterback.
