He is not the main issue because he doesn't have a running game to support him, and for much of the year, has had less than 2 seconds to throw after the ball is snapped. Up until the last game or two, he hasn't had enough time to even set his feet to throw, and he cannot move nearly as well as last year because of the ankle that CPR himself told everyone in week 3 would nag him all year. It has. A QB's best asset is his feet, not just his arm.
How is that ANY QBs fault? The cause is a horrible OC, lack of balance and rhythym on offense, lack of consistent OL play, dropped passes, bad routes, and you want to waste a scholly on a new QB? That's like saying we need to throw billions of dollars more to fix Obamacare. The root issue is lack of leadership. It is coaching. His high school experience is very relevant...put him around good coaching, good OL play and he is an awesome QB. A winner. End of story. Pull good coaching away, and here is your result. What QB has CM developed at ISU? None.
And quit telling people they are wrong all the time. Be a grown up, provide your opinion, and back it up with facts.
You're avoiding the question. If he is not part of the problem, why has Rhoads benched him repeatedly and failed to name him the starter. Are you saying you are more informed and capable to make that decision than Rhoads? Okay. I'm pretty sure Rhoads won't give him the nod because of his high school record.
