Has anyone one thought of this??
Before Herman even came on the Campus he was blowing up AA as the #1 QB. They handed AA the keys and put him the face of the Cyclones with never having him compete for his job like every other position had to do. This team is not OU, UT or Florida where they have great QB's that have proven themselves time after time.
He had a bad spring and please do not give me the same old excuse that he is is learning his third O, Tiller is learning his 2nd in 2 yrs and many players like ARob are making adjustment and not using it as excuses. He had a bad fall, no improvement and now look what is happening. A throw is a throw no matter the system!!
I do not think that AA is a bad guy and is probably a very good leader but you have to lead your team not kill your team...who wants to follow a player that makes more mistakes than anyone else. You have to remember last year a lot of AA’s yards came when the game was well decided and we were getting blown out and the other teams had their backups in or were playing a prevent D.
CPR and Herman have to eat crow for not making him compete and just handing over the team to him....I know all of us from Ames wants him to do good, but for the sake of the team they are going to have to eat a little crow and try other options.
Not saying that Tiller will do any better, but for sure cannot do any worst, and maybe by benching AA for a game then maybe it might wake him up.
Coaches are going to have to eat a little crow and maybe admit they were a little wrong and have to move forward....U have to look at it this way...Do you want a QB for a 1 1/2 years left that has not shown any improvement or a QB that has 3 1/2 years left that will know all players in and out for the next few years and hopefully give the team a real shot @ a bowl game over the next few years.
