Agreed, hes had 2 NFL running backs and the best defense in the Big 12 his entire career to bail him out.
Should Dekkers start against UNLV.
- Thread starter keepngoal
- Start date
Brock is a game manager. Mediocre quarterback succeeding off of the defense. Imagine Seneca or Sage with this defense
Purdy is just taking the brunt of the entire offense being bad. He was bad but there are a lot more problems than the qb. Hutch was abysmal today, and I can’t evaluate anyone else because they were invisible.
I don’t care how accurate the deep pass is, the goal is to get your big physical WR’s a 1 v 1, and our guys failed that 1 v 1 every time. The line got their asses handed to them. Tom Brady isn’t going to be successful in that scenario.
You start Purdy. With that said I’m starting to become of the opinion he may not give us our best chance to win. He was very marginal last year and this year has obviously been bad. It’s too bad because you wonder about his health. But I would start him with an eye towards a quick hook in the more meaningful games to follow.
Really needed a step forward from Scates or Shaw, which hasn't seemingly happened with Scates yet and Shaw is hurt.
Would like to see more and more Jaylin Noel as the season moves forward, though. Really lean into the youth in the receiver room except for XH and see if any of them can thrive given the chance.
Should Dekkers start? Not yet. But it's a legitimate question, and that's a huge cause for alarm.
It's always felt to me like all this talk of "Matt Campbell is comfortable in 13-10 games, that's just who we are" was kind of a cop-out for inept offense, and this first two weeks has proven it. No reason to struggle this much.

I also think it’s funny how some one here after last season thought Manning could be a head coach somewhere. Maybe at a high school.
The Pat McAfee show just talked about this the other day. Their quote was “Everyday at Alabama is a reckoning.” Either you perform or you’re out.
Yep. Need to prove that there is a legit threat over the top, both in a receiver to get deep and a QB to hit him deep.
Look at the difference Desean Jackson made for the offenses he was on throughout his career, even if he didn't have huge production on his own. All of a sudden Kolar is given more room to work with, same with XH. Breece gets to run against a lot fewer stacked boxes. Would do wonders for the offense if someone could step up in that area.
Brock Purdy is the best quarterback ever at ISU but when he is throwing the ball it’s going Kolar or Hutchinson. He doesn’t even have a third or fourth read anymore. It’s those guys from the snap and it’s freak out mode if either throw isn’t there, then either run or force it in there.
If Hutch is going to struggle that much that position group is scary.
Manning is the problem, in this game you dink n dunk 5 yards here 6-8 to eight here to keep the chains moving and wearing down their defense not throwing deep in tight coverage.
The sooner we start or substitute in Dekkers, the sooner we start to salvage the season.
A MUCH more interesting poll would be should he get a series in the first half, against UNLV
We can still win 8 games with Brock we just have nothing to lose and everything to gain by going with Dekkers.
How is this not more obvious to everyone? This is 100% accurate. Some people really showing their lack of football knowledge in this thread.
