Stanzi stat

[MikeyJoe]

http://gazetteonline.com/blogs/on-iowa/2009/09/20/last-call-arizona– Through three first halves, Stanzi has completed 49 percent and has a pass efficiency of 93.
“I figured we’d be barking up that tree,” Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said. “I’ll tell you the trend I liked was his fourth-quarter performance. I thought that was really good.”
That’s another point of view. Stanzi’s troublesome starts have bloomed into fantastic finishes.
In three second halves, Stanzi has completed 73.3 percent of his passes and has an efficiency of 163. In the Hawkeyes’ 27-17 victory over Arizona, Stanzi was nearly perfect in the fourth quarter, completing 4 of 5 for 43 yards.

That's remarkable, and it's going to cost us a game or two unless it changes.

Stanzi's problems are correctable.

Stanzi's problems are correctable.
If and when they are corrected, Iowa becomes a very dangerous team.

they are correctable but when does it start?...hes started 14 games now or so? He's won most of them and we have one of the longer winning streaks in the country but until Stanzi stops throwing into coverage he makes me nervous

i completely disagree. ricky has great physical talent but not have the proper mental approach as a QB. either he has had poor QB coaching/instruction over his career and the correct procedures ingrained in his mind or his brain just does not have the ability to slow the play down and make the proper recognitions on EVERY snap. this bothers me because he has obviously spent a ton of time in the weight room and film room but is not really getting any better.

that being said, he is light years ahead of JC and seems to be a winner. i am a firm believer in the idea that we need a dedicated QB coach on staff that has played the position at a high level to work on fundamental and technique. it is by far the most difficult position to play in any sport.

I too think a dedicated QB coach would be a good thing. Our WR's have improved plenty the past year and three games with Soup on the team.

agreed.

I'll ask the same thing I asked in chat yesterday - sure a dedicated QB coach would be great, but what current positional coach are we going to get rid of?

KOK of course;)

I was wondering the same thing.

Stanzi's problems are correctable.

Are they? The one thing I didn't like about his post game interview yesterday was one response he gave. The question was basically "Were you satisfied with your game today? Were you disappointed with your slow start?"

His response was basically, "What's not to like? We won."

Stanzi could (possibly) take a page from JC's playbook in that JC was a hard worker and wanted to improve - I know he didn't, but I always loved the kid's attitude.

And I admit, I have no idea what Stanzi is really like and it isn't fair to judge it on one answer. So all I'll say at this point is that I didn't like his response, and that I hope his response wasn't indicative of how things are.

My point was only that Stanzi's problems are correctable; I never suggested he will (or won't) take corrective actions.

His flippant response to a media member does not really concern me that much, by itself. He was correct, the number one objective was to win the game, which they did. Enjoy it for a few hours and then buckle down and get back to work.
