Lanning versus Richardson.
- Thread starter cyborg
- Start date
How about Seneca Wallace? I think he was a great QB but he had three wins against teams with winning records and two of those were against iowa. Sam has two. Seneca never faired to well against the top in the league with blowout loses to Nebraska, OU,KSU(twice), Colorado and a loss to Boisie St and Conneticut.
I am not saying Sam is anywhere close to Seneca but even a great QB like Seneca but even a great QB/athlete like Seneca couldn't do it all himself.
Well Seneca did beat a ranked Nebraska a ranked Iowa, a ranked Texas Tech and really a ranked FSU all in 2002 before the great collapse.
I thought that Lanning was not great, the WRs were not great, and the OL was not great. I also thought that Sturdy could have called a much better game. Almost every first down was a RB run. There were only a handful of times when Lanning had designated runs, and on most of those he had good gains. Still too many WR screens.
There is NO comparison to be made. Lanning is so far superior in every way on a football field it isnt even funny.
The only thing that truly drives me nuts about Joel Lanning is the following passes which seem to happen 50% of the time he throws.
QB...............................................Ball..............WR
Lead them, brother. Stop constantly under throwing the ball. Sure, you were praised for it when you under threw Lazard and he saved you and scored a touchdown, but shoot, that can't happen so often.

Diversity is our strength at quarterback.
I will be legit ****** if Sam does not get to try his hand in either of the first two series. What are we?

In America today, you could be called a bully. And I would call for more muscle to have you removed.
Only iowa and TT finished with winning records and if we want to include wins stolen by the jaws of officials add Texas to Sam's.
again...I am in no way saying Sam is anywhere close to Seneca. He isn't. Just saying that a QB can't do it all himself against great competition. I am using Seneca as an example because he was much better in year one when he had a running game and a little better OL.
Mind if I ask what that "something" is?
That's another phrase or similar to what I always hear about ISU QBs who are fresh at ISU.
Tiller was a "Gamer"
Steele "Has a more Upside"
Richardson "Has something" Yeah, I heard that plenty of times after ISU beat Kansas in his first real playing time game.
I just don't see it, at least not to the way some people on here do. It's the same story over and over with ISU QBs. Great first game against a bad team, then downhill from there. But the real kicker is, it's not their fault. Joel can't keep OU from scoring and when an ISU team gets down quick to a good team. It's game over. This coaching staff doesn't know how to get a team out of a hole against a quality opponent. They don't know how to adapt. When their game plan works, all is well and they keep going with it. If it doesn't work, they keep going with it, and put ISU deeper in a hole.
I'm sorry, I think Joel looks marginally better than SB. So far though, he hasn't done anything that makes me think things are going to drastically change under this staff.
I just said I didn't see that "something" in any of those other guys. Never thought Tiller was anything more than a back up QB, never thought Jantz was anything more than a prayer. Richardson, never saw anything but backup in him either.
