3rd and long

I hate to be blunt and rude, but that is just plain ridiculous. You don’t sacrifice the now for the future. You build for future while still doing everything possible to to take care of right now. You know, one game at a time. If you don’t tend to immediate results, before you know it there isn’t a future to build for. His coaching (including the entire staff) have cost us at least three games this year. You can be looking towards the future while effectively coaching in the present.

In fairness to both sides though, in defending a QB’s play people are always very quick to point out drops by receivers, the “should have been caught”. The argument is he threw a good pass that should have been caught. So if the QB is going to get credit for throwing a good pass that gets dropped, it should be the same when he throws a bad one that the defender drops.

As much as I like McCaffrey, I don’t think now is the time to start him. We still haven’t seen him in the passing game enough, and Iowa won’t let him run that option with the impunity he had today. But i also believe quoting AM’s stats today as an argument is very misleading. Let’s face it, if the Maryland defenders could catch they would have had two or three picks. He still makes an awful lot of bad throws. But at this point, I think he still has to be our main guy. But I still think a series here and there for McCaffrey adds another dimension to our offense. And is just something else for Iowa to have to adjust to.

I don’t recall seeing Nelson in the game today. Must have been awfully sick for him not to get out there.

Really no reason, at least I don’t think. Every rep is beneficial for McCaffrey.

Well,, so much for that.

I really don’t mind them scoring quickly. Another series for McCaffrey......if they were going score.

I know it’s a blowout but if really like to see him throw a little bit. Just to get some practice in on that part

Love seeing how all our QBs support each other.

Man, those two young LB’ers with textbook fundamental tackling. Refreshing.

Last two throws have looked completely different than the earlier ones.

Just go away.

Give AM props there. That was a good throw. Like seeing him moving outside the pocket with fewer reads.

No, he says “”catch the ball if it hits you in the hands”. That’s such a load. Guy who played at Nebraska Wesleyan and then in the USFL said the same thing about Jim Kelly. When he really cut it loose it was pretty much uncatchable.

That 3rd stringer throws a nice ball. Big arm.

Yeah, you go ahead and believe that stale old s!!t. When your QB throws a bullet from five yards, it’s behind you, and you’re expecting the softer catchable ball, you just go ahead and catch the damn thing. And real cute cute with your mixed letters.

There’s a reason they’re talking about touch.

That sums it up pretty well.

That’s exactly what I meant. But I know you know that too. Stats can be so misleading. As in this situation.

That’s true. That’s such an easy throw. You just have to complete it. You have to.

Someone will post up his yardage stats pretty soon. Using them as evidence of how good he has been.

What so many have been saying much of the season.

Sorry for his defenders, but he’s still just poor.

WTF has the blitz package been all year? we beat Indiana and Purdue if we had been doing it.

It was a great choice, there were only four defenders on Spielman.
