Always liked Padilla's potential and I think he also has way more mobility than we're used to. There's more to a QB than arm strength. Look at what Purdy has done for these guys.
Lol

Stanley is likely to be our 3rd consecutive starting QB to end up on an NFL roster. I'll defer to the coaching staffs judgement on who should be next but I think they're pretty happy with Petras.
Last 3 starters for the Hawks have been drafted. Good situation for Petras to step in to.
Maybe we should kick the tires on Petras before conceding the "All-Iowa" QB position to Purdy?

Chad just said overall he's heard a lot more good things about Padilla (while talking about Petras).

***Anthony on the line now***

Yes because saying you needed to see if Nate Stanley's backup is better than Brock Purdy is totally reasonable
Not possible for a back-up to be better than a veteran starter? That would be quite a statement if that's what you're trying to say. Not to mention that Purdy didn't exactly end 2019 on a high note IIRC. Last 2 games were stinkers so we really didn't know if he was regressing or not.

Has Kurt ever benched a QB who started every game the prior season?

It is crazy to me how many Cyclone fans have Iowa sources.
It’s actually not crazy if you think about it. If you have friends / acquaintances that are Hawkeye fans and in the know or well connected, it’s not that hard to retrieve information.

I mean it would’ve happened in 2015 with Rudock and Beathard.

I disagree. That whole move by Kirk in the bowl games was to hopefully prevent CJ from leaving and he got bailed out by Jake leaving instead. You know damn well that Jake would have been the starter that season regardless of what CJ did.

How many people are well connected and have an actual source in the UI AD and how many are just pulling **** from an Iowa message board?
