Jacob Park was not here in the spring. Sounds like he was able to knock a bit of rust off at Northeast Oklahoma and participated in spring practice there. Supposedly, Park was pretty impressive there but was already committed to Iowa State. Word is that ISU got a steal and Park has 3 years of eligibility remaining. Supposedly Park has an elite arm and displays the It factor when it comes to QB's. I trust Campbell to play whomever he feels is best. Lanning starts against Iowa today. Hope he has a great game.
I'm sure Park is good in his own right, but Lanning's arm is awesome. Don't know how anyone couldn't see that potential. His qb rating even with the two INT's was 162., Imagine if he limits the turn overs.
Park's arm does look strong. Sometimes accurate.
We may get to see how he does when outcome is still in doubt, leading an offense with no running game.

I'll never understand how anyone with at least half a brain thinks Lanning is better at passing than Park.
I would prefer seeing Park next week against TCU. I think their secondary is vulnerable and he has a better shot at scoring more than 3 points.

Park's numbers were not very good, but there were a couple of drops. Overall I think he looked to have good arm strength and looked comfortable in the pocket. But he wasn't pressured nearly as much as Lanning and faced 2nd string defenders for the most part. I liked what I saw though. Is he the answer moving forward? I have no idea, but Lanning just flat out sucks. I have never seen a QB who is so bad at throwing those short out passes.
I think it's clear that Campbell likes pocket passers. It one of the reason I think Lanning hasn't done well in this system. I say start Park now because he was one of the top pro system QBs in highschool.
If we aren't going to roll out let the better passer Park play.

I think it's clear that Park throws a better ball, but ISU will have zero run game with him in there. That might be our best chance to win, but he's not a threat to run. Glad I'm not coaching ISU the next week or so (minus the millions of dollars that is).
I believe Park has more of what ISU needs in a QB. Quicker release and a strong arm and decent accuracy. Gets it out to his first read, or checks it down quickly. Lanning holds the ball too long, and looks to pull down and run too much. Love Joel's toughness, but just don't see success with him. Granted there are plenty of other problems with this team. But I would give Park the reps if I was coach. He looks more like a CJ Beathard type passer. He is raw still, but I think we know what Joel gives us at this point, and it's not the right fit. We need a guy that will get it out quickly to our receivers and playmakers. Will be interesting to see what direction CMC goes.
Bruh. Nobody gives a **** if you were right about Park.
Park has to be the guy going forward. This program hasnt had a QB with his talent since Seneca.
