A good 10 yd split for NFL OL is 1.7-1.8. Is this proving Brock is fast or Deebo is slow?
95th percentile for QBs says he's insane for his position group.
Spencer Petras is taller and can throw the ball farther than Dekkers. That's obviously not what constitutes a good quarterback. Again, Dekkers obviously has talent but we're going to keep being disappointed when we say he has more potential than Brock. He needs to get exponentially better across the board to be even in the same realm. Brock's elusiveness is a huge part of what defines his game. He's quick enough to outrun most NFL DE's for long enough to salvage plays that other QB's cannot. I'm not sure Dekkers could juke out a refrigerator, it's just not part of his game. That's not to say he can't realize his potential. Brock was just really ******* good and some of us still can't process that.
Nobody said he has more potential than Brock, he just has better intangibles. Yes, as Petras shows, just because you have a strong arm doesnt make you good. My original point was that if he can mature exponentially between the ears, as fans, we should be able to enjoy some of the same success we had with Brock as a QB. It helped Brocks success that he had an offense full of future NFL players during most of if not all of his tenure
NO IDEA if that last part is true or not but some interesting comments have come out of spring ball.
Kohl shows up and we get a new OC. What has been the focus this spring? Back to the absolute basics/beginning. Things like running the huddle and calling plays. Our coaches didn’t even say that stuff last year when we all expected it
Could be to help our new OC. Or it could be to help our new QB. At the very least is levels the playing field for Kohl
It certainly helped those future NFL Players to play with a future NFL QB who started as a rookie. Not sure anyone has better intangibles than Brock Purdy.
During his redshirt year there were people on here saying deckers would be starting if Campbell wasn't loyal to Brock.
oh he was a good player, certainly better than me. He was very skilled, good hand eye coordination, but he wasn't hard stay with in the half court. I was actually quicker than him even though he could blow me out of the water in the 200 and 400, which were the events he was good at.
Dekkers seems to lack instincts when it comes to running the ball. He was very tentative, didn't seem to have a sense on when to plant his foot and get up field. Maybe he was uncomfortable and was inexperienced and will be more confident running the ball this year

I would agree with that. We weren't all that far from enjoying some of that same success last year. Thankfully Scott Frost isn't our coach so I think we can figure it out and Hunter has a good season.
I hate to disagree, but go back and look at the conversation (post 219 and then yours at 263.) The conversation was on physical tools. If you are trying to say Dekkers has better intangibles than Purdy, then I think you lost me. Or maybe your post was just confusing?
Dekkers has a stronger arm and is a bit taller. That gives him a chance of hitting some challenging throws that Brock has to strain to make. His top end speed might be barely faster than Brock. That’s about all he has on him. Brock has proven to be a successful NFL quarterback. Almost any college quarterback would love to have the amount of success Brock has had. Does Justin Fields have a higher ceiling than Tom Brady? Some people are just great quarterbacks and don’t have to be the best athlete on the field. I hope Dekkers can improve and be a great qb, but if not, we have others with good talent on the roster.
Nice article in the daily about Clanton’s approach.

If UNI comes in September 2nd & pushes us around again, I may have to burn some **** down.
Excited to see how the o-line performs this fall. Especially the emergence of young guys to be the next man in. Feel like Remsburg, Simmons and Hufford are known quantities that will benefit from Clanton's coaching. But what about guys like Miller, Bonifas, Maro, Neal, Okin, etc?
The article mentions Nagy's impact on o-line improvement. One thing I haven't read about is Nagy's impact on the d-line. I have to believe if the narrative about the o-line not being elite from a S&C standpoint is accurate. That would also apply to the d-line.
I read this and wondered if Matt Nagy left the chiefs to come work with ISU lol. Kagy* is who you meant - but I’d also be fine if Nagy was on our staff!
Figured you would be the one breaking that news considering your link to insider info with the Chiefs...
