better than Chuck Long. His NFL career proves my point. Chuck was great too, but not Seneca great.Great player, that's why he is in my top 3.
not sure what's funny about this @iahawks . I'm being respectful, both had great careers but Seneca was the greatest QB this state has ever seen. I think Purdy has a chance to pass all of them.better than Chuck Long. His NFL career proves my point. Chuck was great too, but not Seneca great.

I did forget about Kurt Warner. You have to consider what SW had around him. What he did for the program was unbelievable. If not the best QB ever in the state, I think it's fair to say he was the most exciting at least.So a QB that threw more INTS than TDS is the best QB this state has ever seen? We are also over looking Kurt Warner.
I think as it stands right now here is how I would rank the top 5 QBs in the state of Iowa:
1. Seneca Wallace- Long NFL career, clearly the best QB this state has seen
2. Chuck Long or Brad Banks- Need Iowa fan's help with this. Both Heisman runner ups, but I honestly didn't watch a ton of either guy as a kid.
3. Brad Banks or Chuck Long
4. Sage Rosenfels- NFL career, you could make an arguement for him at #2, but if we are just talking college, I think it's fair to put him here.
5. Brock Purdy- Just one season, but he's incredible and will move up this list. Certainly one of the most talented guys this state has ever seen.
...and one we need to win more than once every five ******* years!Not necessarily our biggest game, but the biggest event in the state. The Texas game late in the season will be a much bigger game with more at stake in terms of college football. The in-state rivalry game is just that, an in-state rivalry event.
You don't complain about how crappy a band played in the grandstand of the state fair for 12 months after the fact...but I sure as hell am upset about how crappy the Cyclones played in last year's game almost 12 months later. So, the game certainly stirs up more passion than anything other event in the state IMO.Bigger than State Fair or RAGBRAI?
Obviously not the sharpest tool in the shed, now, is he?You disagree and think those games were indeed lopsided @ANF ?

Flip 1 and 2 and I think Purdy will end up on the listI’m not really sure Brad Banks is in the top 5. He benefited a huge amount from having the best offensive line the state has ever seen. To me:
1. Long
2. Wallace
3. A great big bunch of guys I can’t really separate.
The entire student body of Purdue University once played QB at an Iowa College/University? They must have been really good to put them your top 5. Was that around....say....1976?Flip 1 and 2 and I think Purdue will end up on the list
Stupid autocorrect. I can’t speak to anything about Purdue or 1976.The entire student body of Purdue University once played QB at an Iowa College/University. They must have been really good to put them your top 5. Was that around....say....1976?

Talking about Impact in the state.You don't complain about how crappy a band played in the grandstand of the state fair for 12 months after the fact...but I sure as hell am upset about how crappy the Cyclones played in last year's game almost 12 months later. So, the game certainly stirs up more passion than anything other event in the state IMO.
I'm more upset about the game two years ago. If we do one of several things we win the game, but I'm most upset about our tackling on the play where Iowa tied the game at the end.
That game or the 2012 3OT game when Steele Jantz played the best game of his career would be the two that stick out to me from recent memory.This was probably the best game ever played between the two teams. So many back and forth's in the second half.

I'd agree with that neither team was as good as the 2016 teams were, but the excitement of that game was great I thought.I still take the 2016 game over that one since in 2016 both teams were pretty good. Can't really say that about the Jantz game.
