We're going with Sully- at least as long as he's good anyway

 

[hawkeyealum]

Kurt will just refer to him as “Cades Backup”

 

[AZmessDAWG]

Gosh darn it guys! Learn his name!

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Super hot take but Kaleb is incredible. Think he broke 20 tackles on his touchdowns

 

[gable_guy]

 

[Hawkstrat]

That’s not his name?

Brandon

 

[thrawn]

Kurt will just refer to him as “Cades Backup”

”let’s go Brendan”

Did the ball on the roughing the passer play even go 30 yards? He put everything he had into that thing and it looked like a Colten Rastetter punt.

My son was convinced he had his arm hit until he watched the replay and then said OMG, that's worst throw I've ever seen.

It was horrible from the North end zone.Even the completions were frustrating with Anderson having to lay out deep, Lachey having to turn back around over the middle and Anderson? having to toe tap on the sideline.

 

[Geese]

Please think I'm going to suck so bad. Please.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Are you thinking of gill on the ball he caught right at the first down on the sideline?

 

[gable_guy]

Are you thinking of gill on the ball he caught right at the first down on the sideline?

Yeah. Gill on the sideline. He missed Anderson with space in the endzone on a corner route

 

[champion_thedrinker]

It's possible Iowa could be undefeated if Brandon Sullivan was the starter from day one.

 

[The Dad]

Gosh darn it guys! Learn his name!

 

[Dr. Zaius]

I heard Dolph call him Brendan Anderson on the radio

 

[Dr. Zaius]

 

[Dr. Zaius]

This was awesome

 

[The Dad]

Flipper Jr caught his one deep ball for the year so we can cross that off the list.

 

[Greg Obrecht]

That kid and his family deserve all-timer status.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

I heard Dolph call him Brendan Anderson on the radio

they all look the same.

 

[Greg Obrecht]

they all look the same.

Brendans?

 

[hawkeyealum]

Based on mechanics I can only assume Uncle Rico is Cade’s private QB coach

 

[Greg Obrecht]

Uncle Rico is waaaaay more accurate. He just straight up sniped Napoleon in that clip.

 

[snips]

yeah, uncle rico has stronger arm too. not sure cade could get it to the bicycle at all

 

[rodg12]

He decided to try one of his no laces throws. Just awful.

 

[Debit One]

He decided to try one of his no laces throws. Just awful.

They put the effing laces on the football for one reason and one reason only.

Using the laces has worked well for every other QB, yet Cade doesn't view them as worth the effort to find.

 

[The Dad]

Is there a site where I can bet on how good of a week of practice Cade is going to have?

 

[Brad Wesley]

An overlooked aspect of Cade’s game is his complete lack of anticipation. He reminds me of an 8th grade QB who throws the ball two seconds too late. TE coming open across the middle and Cade waits to throw until the safety has time to potentially make a play.

I can’t think of one positive attribute he brings to the position.

He has a thick head of hair.

/AZ, probably

What's the upside?

 

[AZmessDAWG]

/me, definitely

FIFY

 

[CamelTones]

The play before his interception was somehow worse than the interception. He had Gill open for a 5 yard gain. He refused to throw it, juked someone somehow then threw to a more covered Lachey for 4 yards.

 

[Stu Beagle]

The no laces thing is wild. Is there anyone else that does that?

 

[HawkBall23]

One of my favorite moments while watching the game yesterday was the BTN crew showing a shot of McNamara on the sideline after the Pick6 and the clearly distinguishable "We Want Sullivan!" chants coming from parts of the crowd.

Just for the fact that the paying crowd has to loudly point out the painfully obvious to the 25th year tenured coach.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Does every other school have to deal with this obvious bullshit, or are we fairly unique in that our coach is a fucking retard?

 

[BuffettHawk]

Most schools fire their coach if they are a fucking retard.

 

[douglasbader]

It's crazy, Kirk loves Cade because he is the "safe" option with good leadership skills.

Imagine if you 6th year COVID senior went out at home and missed multiple easy passes for walk-in touchdowns/first downs and then threw maybe the worst duck of a pass in college football history. Then, as if that wasn't enough, he comes down the next possession and throws one of the worst pick-six INT's of the year. The cherry on top is he's still fat and immobile due to back to back catastrophic season ending injuries.

The logic Kirk has is literally fucking insane. He's got dementia at best, and he's incompetent at worst. No other coach at any level of football would continue to play someone like that, but Kirk is talking after the game as if he might start again.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Well, his QB coach got fired so he’s probably annoyed.

 

[jandj]

My son was convinced he had his arm hit until he watched the replay and then said OMG, that's worst throw I've ever seen.

My conversation with @Monster was pretty close to the same.

 

[AZmessDAWG]

It definitely looked like he altered his throwing motion.

 

[The Dad]

[Greg Obrecht]

It’s like Denard Robinson not tying his shoes when he played. Retarded

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Shoelace vs Boo-lace

 

[thrawn]

It’s like Denard Robinson not tying his shoes when he played. Retarded

except Robinson was actually good and an elite runner. McNamara is a bottom 10 starting QB throwing the ball in a non-conventional and objectively stupid way.

I don’t even think it’s that. He had the same insistence with Hill last year, and he was a guy they brought in just because they needed QBs for spring drills. They even said that Labas was a clear #2 in summer before missing some time hurt. He was still coming back/catching up when the first depth charts went out, so Hill was #2. And then they never changed that the ordering other than bumping everyone up when McNamara got hurt.

But there was nothing to indicate Kirk had some loyalty or over-rating with Hill - he just has some weird mental issue with changing QBs. Probably because he’s old.

 

[AZmessDAWG]

Or an equally troubling possibility that the others really were that much worse.

 

[cloudhawk]

So Both were not changing the landscape of college football?

There is no way in hell Labas was worse than Hill. Let’s not be retarded.
