The quarterback musical chairs thing needs to stop. Maybe Joel isn't the guy. Maybe Park isn't the guy. Maybe Nolland isn't the guy. Either way, we can't just keep swapping quarterbacks when they make a mistake. This is Lanning's first season as THE guy. All I ask is that we wait a few games before we run him over with the team bus and leave him for dead. Seem like a logical thing to do or is it already full on meltdown mode?
Lanning

Ah yes...these are the seasonal posts I've been missing. One game in and already calling for the quarterback to be benched. Rabble,rabble,rabble! Put in Tiller!
Last year the UNI punter was so bad that he changed field position often, so drastically that we had a major advantage. Most low level high school punters could have done much better.
Maybe Matt should take control of play calling. Sometimes the younger/newer guys like to get cute and outsmart themselves with play calling.
A good line can make an average QB look great. Same for a RB. We would have won if we had a Big 12 O-line. We lost arguably our best lineman for the season and then his replacement got suspended for a game. How about we open some holes so we don't have to rely on passing to win the game. It's all won in the trenches.
Lanning did complete over 60 percent of his passes and for decent yardage. The interceptions, fumble, and safety were inexcusable, but QBs have certainly had worse showings before.
I'm not one calling on Lanning to be benched but his decision making has to improve. Just really bummed about him putting the ball up for grabs when we had the one point lead late.
Does your head smell funny when you wear your butttt as a hat? Go back and re-watch his completions. I challenge you. Receivers made great catches but they made great catches because the friggin' BALL WAS THERE.
I either ferted or you are seeping through my computer because I stooped down to engage your post.
ya, he had a ton of mistakes and misreads. He was awful with the zone read, basically had 4 TOs if you count the Safety that he had chance to avoid. I had high hopes for him, but he is Steele Jantz 2.0. Make a few great plays, but just doesn't understand that there are times when you have to settle for getting what you can and live for another shot at it.
All the blame, none of the credit. The guy just can't catch a break
Relax, Lanning still hasn't played that much ball. He's figuring it out. I haven't seen anyone throw the ball that well for ISU in a while. That fade to Lazard was money. The guy will be a beast by next year, yall just wait.
I like Lanning... but he looks great at some points but simply makes too many errors. I don't see the harm in giving Park a chance to prove himself in a game.
Whn was the last time you recall that we had a qb who made five major mistakes in one game?
If we have Not Won a Game after we play San Jose State it will be time for Joel Lanning to ride the pines....
College Football is only about winning ............
He has so far to go as a passer it may take all year to be good. He is a better runner.
Whoever called that pass play on 2nd and 4 with like 4 minutes in the game that got intercepted should be shunned.
I wasn't a big fan of it but I didn't think it was the worst call. We struggled to run so I can understand some pass plays. That said the decision making on it was awful.
