Agree whole heartedly. CPR contniued to say "James won't impress you with an physical ability but he consistently moves the ball. In practice, in the game, he moves the ball and scores points."
I am really disappointed that he is leaving.
Capello Transfering...
- Thread starter RedlineSi
- Start date
I am really disappointed that he is leaving.
The guy was still behind Tiller and Jantz after going all the way through spring ball. There's a bunch of young QB prospects coming in. I'm sure James worked hard and was a decent QB in practice, but it sure seems pretty clear that his ship had sailed.
I highly doubt CPR and staff had it out for James, and since he's transferring, James must have even knew he wasn't the best QB.
Capello worked hard as a Cyclone. His family posted well wishes and gratitude to cyclone nation. Let's do the same and wish them good luck in the future. Once a Cyclone, always a Cyclone in my eyes.
Good luck James, you will do well.
Good luck James, you will do well.
Nothing in that post makes Tom Capello seem like an ***. As a matter of fact, he is 100% correct concerning his son's performance. And he just talks about the hard work it takes to compete.
I for one don't think he got a fair shake. Especially as the only guy that "just moves the offense and scores points."
I think everyone and their mom moves the ball and scores points on our defense recently.
And yes, I'm sure Coach Rhoads is out there trying to lose football games. He'd prefer to leave his best quarterback on the sidelines. Do people actually believe that crap? I'm trying to remember the last time I heard a coach say "Yeah, he sucks, but we're going to keep him on scholarship. He'll never see the field but we hope he gets a great education."
It's a shame to lose a hard worker and a character guy, but it's probably the best move for him if he just wants to play. Although, if the worst happens and Tiller and Jantz both struggle to produce by midseason I wonder if he'll be watching from Ohio and wondering what if...
If Tiller and Jantz are that bad midseason and a bowl game is out of the question it might just be best to see what Barnett can do.
Shameful.
Best of luck to James in all of his future endeavors. Also, to his family, I'm sure that Tiffin University will be grateful to have such great fans joining their fanbase, if you act anything like you have for Iowa State.
Its unfortunate that hes leaving, but these things happen in CFB all the time. I was looking forward to seeing him on the field again in the future. ISU is likely going to have a a small recruiting class next year, so it gives Rhoads another scholarship to work with. Take some positives away from it.
It does clear up the QB situation a bit, and gives Barnett more snaps this fall. That can;t hurt his growth. With 4 already on the team, and 2 more showing up this august...its inevitable someone would decide to go.
Tom Capello posting here wasn't a problem. I enjoyed the insight he provided. I do think he tends to take the small minority here that doubted James a little too seriously though. Its a message board and random strangers will always have free reign to take shots at anything/anyone.

This was the first time that i was disaponted at some cyclone fans. I was warned what to say on this forumn but sometimes you just can't shut up!!.One poster said Capello will never see the field, what does he know that we do not? This came from our high school coach who watched all of ISU games this year and was very disapointed that James did not get to throw.he is very blunt, and honest and he said James can play at this level and in this offense,he already did it for four years. But we just want him to get a fair shake this spring if he wins it fine if not fine as long as it is fair. He will work his *** off this summer and hopefully win all the matt drills just like this year.He went andf spoke to PR and asked what he needs to do to win this job, and he said it was a very good talk and honest. He said he wants it so bad and is willing to work for it. So cyclone fans don't dispare we have Q/Bs that can get the job done. You know who i am and i'm anxious to hear your remarks,but don't count someone out just because they were not given the chance to throw in a game yet. I don't believe JC has forgotten everything he has been doing now for the past six years. Thanks for a great year true cyclone fans.
