Joel Lanning

Guessing Hodge will be 3rd string. I doubt Lanning ever takes a QB snap at ISU.

100% agree with this. I watched him play and was never real impressed with his accuracy. But he is a beast out there.

0% is wwwaaaayyyyy too black and white. Injuries are far too common in college football to say that. As an ISU fan, I'd think we'd know almost better than anyone how true that is.

Shoot wasn't it only two years ago that Barnett came into the season as our 3rd string quarterback (behind Tiller and Steele) and he never started a game that season right? Wait.......

Yes, that is the best possible comparison.

Isn't Hodge a better probable 3rd string than Lanning?

 

[TXCyclones]

I have continually heard Hodge is outperforming Lanning.

 

[CYUL8R]

The chances that Lanning, as a redshirt freshman, is going to be head an shoulders above both Sam and Grant is extremely slim.

Not really, he is taller.

When CPR was asked about the performance of young players on the team, he called out Lanning, not Hodge.

I'd say even if it is true, it is only speculation. Neither of them have ever shown up on any published depth chart that I can remember. I've heard CPR talk very good about both of them and in fact, more so about Lanning than Hodge though. I've heard CPR talk about how much of a cannon Lanning has showed to have for an arm (he talked as if it kind of surprised him a bit).

0% chance Lanning starts a game next year.

If O-line play does not improve, then there is a 99% chance that every QB in the program will start at least once next year...

This when Sam is healthy and has time he is a good to very good Big 12 QB.

The fact of the matter is that if Lazard is everything the rankings say he is, he can be our Mike Evans. Imagine our offense if Mess would just let the QB cut loose for once and let Lazard go one-on-one (or even one-on-two) for a jump ball. But they never loosen the reins on this offense at all. It's ridiculous.

 

[ISUCubswin]

Hodge.

 

[ISUCubswin]

And with Montgomery playing next year, there's no way Sam Richardson doesn't start.

Good point. The D should be better and if we can get the same OL out there for more than one game at a time with a healthy SR, we will be a much better team.

 

[Wesley]

Excited about Lanning, but who will be calling the plays?

The Messinator.

Rhoads had some pretty good things to say about Lanning when asked a few weeks ago what younger players are standing out in practice. When asked in general terms the first guy that Rhoads brought up was Lanning. My guess is that Lanning looks like the best of the ISU QB's because he is running the scout team offense... AKA... he is running every teams offense except Messingham's. That has to be a major factor in his success on the practice field.

Yep, he said that on the call in show. He talked about Lanning being an unbelievable leader. He then went on to mention that he has a canon, good accuracy, and is a fantastic runner.

We may have another quarterback battle next year. I think it will be hard for the freshmen Lanning to take over for the Junior Sam though because Sam himself could be the best QB we've had since Seneca when its all said and done. Unfortunately we also have one of our worst offensive lines this year and he's been battling injuries so its been tough on his development.

At the rate we are going at now, I'm not sure Sam is even going to make it out of this season alive.

LOL, after hearing what Rhoads said about George, Miller, and Tuftee, I will never believe any of his scouting reports on future players.

 

[CloneinWDSM]

Lanning only plays if we decide to use him as a Colin Klein type of guy.
