Non-homer? No. He's an Iowa grad with a national writing platform

Didn’t know that. My comment was based on 2 seconds of looking at his twitter profile. That said, Thor now seems like a great American.

I’m not familiar with this guy, but he appears to be the one of biggest dorks in the universe

 

[Talkin' Goat]

Son of bitch. Shit.

 

[douglasbader]

Goodson is what will finally make people pay for crashing down way too hard.

 

[FrodoTBaggin]

Goodson will end up being Akrum on steroids. Better top end. Bigger and stronger.

 

[KitKatApples]

I'll take it

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Hopefully Goodson takes steroids so he can be Goodson on steroids

 

[KitKatApples]

I'll take that

I will say that I’ve never seen a HS coach fawn over a player like Petras’ did. and that’s saying something

Especially when this HS coach also had Jared Geoff.

 

[26.2]

Who the fuck is jerry?

 

[Tugboat]

I think Petras will be good. With that said, have we ever “heard” not good things about a new starter in the off season?

Was there chatter before the public had a chance to watch him? I remember fans being excited about him as he was a highly rated guy out of high school.

There was a lot of chatter pre-season that he hadn’t looked very good in practice

Coaches seemed a little concerned about Stanley not taking control of the huddle heading into 2017.

Maybe I am misremembering but 2013 wasn’t all warm and fuzzy either.

WANT TO BOW

 

[Thomas Wolsey]

WANT TO BOW

That 2007 team wasted a pretty good defense with a mediocre line and a shitty quarterback.

 

[thrawn]

Jake C is the only 4-star QB to start for Iowa for Kirk, right? I think Wienke was a 4-star from some services, which, LOL.

Stanley: 3
Beathard: 3
Rudock: 3
Vandenberg: 2
Stanzi: 3
Christensen: 3
Tate: 3 (don't think he was 4 anywhere, but close)
Chandler: ? JUCO
Banks: ? JUCO
McCann ?
Mullen: ?
Beutjer: ?

 

[HerkyHopeful]

This is the 2020 starting QB. There may be a touch more personality than we've become accustomed to.

The third pic. Lol.

Did it move for you, too?

 

[CamelTones]

Heard today that all athletic staff between $50k-$75k will be taking a 5% cut, $75k-$150k will be taking a 10% cut and all above $150k will be taking a 15% cut starting July 1.

I like it! Unless he sucks. Then it's gonna piss me off big time.

 

[douglasbader]

Has he always looked like Joe Burrow or is that a new thing recently?

 

[KitKatApples]

Dress for the job you want they say

LOL if they don't do this on a marginal basis.

Good luck explaining the marginal calculation to Tom Brands.

‘He’s got a cannon’: Why there are high hopes for Iowa’s Spencer Petras

Teammates rave about the sophomore’s arm strength, and his position coach says, "I don’t think there’s a throw that he can’t make."

theathletic.com

IOWA CITY, Iowa — Spencer Petras has a power forward’s body, a mama’s boy face and perhaps the most powerful right arm on Iowa’s campus in 30-plus years.

A redshirt sophomore, Petras epitomizes what a pro-style offense would want in a quarterback. At 6 feet 5 and 230 pounds, Petras has the requisite size and build for pocket passing. Then there’s his arm, which is so impressive one must constantly rewind Petras’ highlight reel to appreciate its capabilities.

There’s a play in high school where a pass rusher hits Petras from the blind side, only to have the quarterback bounce forward one step and fire a 60-yard pass for a touchdown.

There’s another when he stood at midfield on the left hashmark and threw a perfect strike along the right sideline for another score.

“He’s got a cannon for an arm,” said Minnesota Vikings quarterback Nate Stanley, who started for three seasons at Iowa.”

I hope all that is true, but it sounds like the start to a Randy P column.

 

[thrawn]

He has a strong arm
He likes football and his teammates that go on record like him
He wanted to go to Nebrantska for a while
KOK was miffed that his mom only got barbecue takeout when he visited
he is staying in Iowa, where we love freedom, instead of California, where you get arrested for going outside
He has a strong arm

You should read the finish, then

 

[cloudhawk]

Dare I say, a State of Iowa QB controversy...

 

[CamelTones]

It is a nice looking arm though...

He was horrible in the spring scrimmage and maybe even in the kid's scrimmage.

The only thing more discouraging in the spring of '17 was the WR situation. Easley and Devonte Young (Vande still in rehab). We knew about Fant, but not much about TJ and I don't think he was shown much that night. Beyer got a lot of targets. We now look like Ohio State or LSU at that position comparatively. Toren Young was probably the bright spot that night. (Easley may not have had a carry.)
