**Official 2022 Iowa Football Season Thread**

[MikeyJoe]

Charlie Jones is within spitting distance of two years of production in one game. Charlie fucking Jones. Iowa’s offense is a fucking disgusting joke. Getting the ball results in a drive where they’re in better position to score like a quarter of the time. .186 offensive possessions ended with a touchdown last year. The 0 this year is BARELY worse than that. Punts, completions, and first downs were all about equal and more than points scored. “Snort, Spencer’s our guy, noise out there is louder than in here…”

Punting is winning hurrr durrr.

Punts are turnovers.

 

[Debit One]

Where's the loyalty to the other quarterbacks they've recruited? Kirk does an amazing job of not losing the locker room.

I'm sure that the pitch to Labas while he was being recruited was entirely honest.

"Joey, we really want you at Iowa. You'll of course be behind Spencer Petras on the depth chart. That will persist no matter how badly he plays, or what you do in practice. I emphasize in practice because you will not be seeing the field unless Petras is injured or leaves our program."

 

[Alan Lomax]

Punting is winning hurrr durrr.

Punts are turnovers.

After getting 3 or 4 first downs and flipping the field? Yes. As it is, it’s just slightly better than a coin flip if they’ll get a single first down, and when the offense gets the ball they LOSE scoring value.

I fear the problem is far simpler. He might just be stupid.

But he knows so many words!!

How bout Padilla- comes in with no game experience. Plays decent and adds a dimension of being able to move the pocket. Beats Minnesota. Has 2? Drives the next week and is promptly replaced by Petras who does nothing yet gets all the snaps from then till now.

 

[TVan]

Refusing to play with peaches

Let’s hope for a reverse Rudy situation where the whole team says we won’t play if peaches is playing.

Iowa came back from behind to win that game too. Which they then used to say “See! Peaches is our guy!” But they came back with D and a couple plays. He was still the same shitty guy. He gets lucky one or two plays and VALIDATED! Even when the rest is garbage.

 

[ddevries]

Padilla basically played the whole Northwestern game also which was offensively terrible.

 

[Revolver]

We’ve seen Padilla. He’s not any good, either, but he is not a statue. Behind a terrible OL, give me that over Petras.

 

[BVHawk95]

Padilla basically played the whole Northwestern game also which was offensively terrible.

The Illinois game, even with drops, was on par with Saturday's performance, especially considering he at least had more than 1 non-pasty white WR.

My eyes told me Padilla is much better than Petras. Your eyes should have told you the same.

Trust your eyes.

 

[kenos]

Peteas cannot possibly be the best qb on the roster.

 

[Pedro]

Peteas cannot possibly be the best qb on the roster.

I refuse to believe this as well. It makes the current situation that much more confusing.

 

[Revolver]

Peteas cannot possibly be the best qb on the roster.

I don’t think Padilla could possibly be, either, but if Spencer is not the clear worst… YEEEEESH.

 

[SuperHans]

Peteas cannot possibly be the best qb on the roster.

Vandenberg took every snap in 2012 with RS freshman Rudock, true freshman Beathard and junior Cody Sokol, who threw for 3,000 yards and 30 TDs for LA Tech his first season eligible after transfer, on the roster.

[Renegade_ofFunk]

I’m not operating under the assumption that Padilla hasn’t improved.

 

[Hawkstrat]

I am operating under the assumption that Padilla has not improved, cannot improve, and unless he cuts off his legs, he's still the right choice.

 

[Shawneemicks]

Fuck everything

 

[cloudhawk]

I guess I want to believe there is an option that offers hope for something better.

At least the others haven't really had a chance like Spencer has to develop. Maybe they don't want to further waste the D on development. I would think the mobility factor has to help. Plus, with Petras not being able to complete simple throws to move the chains and INTs what are you really losing.

 

[Debit One]

Padilla is the preferred choice even if he has not made one iota of progress since we last saw him.

 

[The Dad]

@6deuce - tell these faggots about your hemorrhoids.

 

[Mountain Hawk]

126th out of 128 teams in total offense

Did two teams just not show up for their games?

 

[6deuce]

@6deuce - tell these faggots about your hemorrhoids.

It’s all fun and games until your hemorrhoids swell and burst.

 

[Mountain Hawk]

He feels very proud of what he’s done. You can hear it in his tone, and see it in his posture. He feels we all owe him a big thank you for 2021.

We owe him a big "something you".

 

[Mountain Hawk]

I fear the problem is far simpler. He might just be stupid.

He's certainly never had to be smart.

 

[Mountain Hawk]

Peteas cannot possibly be the best qb on the roster.

He isn't even the best water boy. Maybe he's the best fluffer.

 

[Mountain Hawk]

Cut off his legs, and he's still more mobile than Peachtree.

[ClintWalker]

Not their fault that they are not D1 QB's. The coaching staff is responsible for the product they put on the field. Petras is what he is, and the coaching staff has had three years to do something about it.

 

[Kerky]

My eyes told me Padilla is much better than Petras. Your eyes should have told you the same.

Trust your eyes.

Weaker arm by far, shorter, but yes his decision making and feel within the pocket was like night and day.

at this point I assume that Petras is everyone’s bookie/dealer.

 

[pjhawk]

Padilla basically played the whole Northwestern game also which was offensively terrible.

Petras played the first 2 or 3 drives of that game and was SDSU level bad. Padilla came in and the offense immediately zipped up and down the field until Iowa got the two score lead and Kirk/Brian turtled up the offense.

Padilla might be a below average BiG QB but how can he be worse than a 1.1 QB rating against an FCS school?

 

[eclone]

It’s just a classic play.

the outside blocker is responsible for one defender and the TE is responsible for catching the pass and making the next two unblocked defenders miss.

True, but QBR isn’t exactly friendly for Padilla either

It might be a coaching/gameplanning problem. Will have to ask @StinkyMcFadden to confirm.

Let me ask you this, Mr. Cyclone Fan.

Which QB would you rather face on Saturday, Petras or Padilla?

I'm confident that Padilla would/could achieve 1.1 QBR and Halo will then bitch about him and demand Labas, who threw the most INTs in practice.

I'd sure hope so.

White Knighting Spencer Petras is the most Cletey thing to date.

Petras. 100 out of 100. He’s a sitting duck for McDonald and the safety blitzes. The SEMO QB was sneaky athletic and caused some issues for the ISU defense with his legs.

 

[KitKatApples]

Well that will not be a problem for you this week

 

[ClintWalker]

This McDonald guy is reaching Niang-like worship status from ISU fans. Petras would be a sitting duck for me.

 

[TVan]

Unless you have been going to practice, I don’t think we could know that for sure. Even if it is true, what good is arm strength if you can’t hit a target? Padilla is the better option as we saw that last year. he had a short leash because KF and BF can’t admit they are wrong about Peaches.

You could argue that he has the strongest arm of any QB in the Ferentz era. He definitely has a stronger arm than Padilla.

You cannot argue that he isn’t the worst QB of the Ferentz era, though. He definitely is.

Really going out on a fucking limb here saying Iowa fans would be upset with another 1.1 QBR performance.

It really is amazing how fucking stupid you are

If I remember right Petras only played one series and it was clear he was too injured to throw the ball.
