Kempt is fine. The way CMC is building this program it won't matter. It is a plug and play team system. You know, an actual legit program. We just haven't cleansed ourselves of the Rhoads program. I am not saying we are National Champions, but we should be competitive in games and have a chance to win.

I think Park has a higher ceiling but I'm not 100% sure Park gives us the best opportunity to win. Kempt has done everything asked of him and today's conditions against a really crappy team didn't warrant trying to do much of anything in the passing game.

Park threw for over 300 yards and completed 73% of his passes his second most recent start
Lot of memory loss going on with Park. People seem to remember one bad game against a great defense, and forget that he's been really good in pretty much every other game he's played. Kempt had a couple balls today that could have been picked but weren't. He through 10 feet behind a wide open Trevor Ryan on one play and was lucky the safety didn't make a play on it. That was more inaccurate than any of Park's throws.

Kyle seems like a great guy, takes care of the ball, had a good 2 games, great success story. That being said, we don't win 6 games without Jacob Park...we need him back. He adds such a different dimension to our offense that Kyle just can't.

Again love Kyle, I'd probably be friends with him 10/10 over Park...but Park has way more talent

Winning 6 games would be disappointing at this point. That means finishing 2-4.

Exactly, it's getting pretty comical

There is a reason that Kyle was not a starter throughout his college career. He clearly has weakness. But I like that he is calm, a good game manager and can make those occasionally hard throws. Park is more talented than him, but I think he gets to high and to low, which is not a good thing for a QB at ISU, who will have to face a lot of adversity and still keep calm. Hope the coach makes the right call for the situation. I also think it is good they have got Roland in the rotation.
