Starting QB

[IcSyU]

Do people watch the games? Or just look at the box score? Jantz is leaps and bounds better than last year. The playcalling is pretty bad, our OC isn't getting our RB's and especially James White enough carries, and our WR's are dropping far more balls than Jantz is missing.

You're getting misses with either quarterback. Jantz is going to have a breakdown of about 70/10/10/10 with respect to catchable/overthrown/underthrown/thrown away. Barnett is going to have a breakdown of about 50/10/30/10. Both are going to make stupid throws which are either going to be picked and leaving you scratching your head or dropped by a defender and still leaving you scratching your head.

JB has played and beat 3 ranked teams?

The team beat three ranked teams.

I still say the ball should have never been taken away from Barnett in the Rutgers game and he should have taken every snap so far this year.

That said, it'll be Jantz and I'm scared as heck of KU. Don't feel good about it at all.

Between Rohach and Richardson. I have a feeling Barnett won't be in ames next year.

based on?

some people thinking Rohach and Richardson are gonna come in and light up the Big 12 is ridiculous...if they were that good, why aren't they playing this year....no sense.

Who is our starting QB? Has coach announced that? I am hoping that he gives Barnett the start.

Thanks!

I am guessing that Jantz gets the start, but only gets one half. If he turns the ball over or shows his typical panic mode, Barnett will replace him. This is too big a game against a winnable foe to ride out poor performance and hope it improves.

I don't think Barnett will ever start as QB for the Cyclones again.

Barnett got us a huge win in fort worth against tcu. He is a great qb.

Would anyone trade for Vandenburg?

Just get the freaking win. It's KU... I don't care what kinda ball they have been playing the past couple of weeks. 1-9 is 1-9...THAT IS A HORRIBLE TEAM. We have lost TWO straight. (I understand it was OU and UT) - But, we are a good football team. Our guys need to play with passion again and just TAKE IT OUT on KU on Saturday. We need to stomp them and get on them early. I agree with the post above, a Barnett start might be called for. He has performed well on the opening (scripted) drive, and I really believe we need to get on this team and demoralize KU early. Kick 'em in the teeth early, and get the win.

You can't say 1-9 is a bad team. A record says nothing. They are a 1-9 team even...if not a notch better than ISU.

And you would still be wrong.

OMG...a drop back QB...what is this...1980?? IOWA and ferentz are gone.

So if a record doesn't say what a team is, what does define a good/bad team? FYI KU and ISU have played all the same conference opponents.

Wait...what?

I'm not saying they can't or won't beat us, but how can you say they are a notch better given our records and common opponents?

Checking post history often helps to understand the logic behind posts.

If you lose every game 21-20....it's a hell of an effort. If you are 1-9 and lost all basketball games 89-88...that does not mean you are a bad team. All I am saying is.....DO NOT LOOK AT RECORDS. KU gave TECH a running last week....we did not. If Barnett was in...we could have.

I enjoy your posts.

That's all fine and dandy, but they also lost to Baylor by 27, Oklahoma by 45, Kansas State by 40, and TCU by 14. THERE IS NO TRANSITIVE PROPERTY IN FOOTBALL. Win your games. That's all that matters.

One is redshirting and one is inexperienced. You don't throw a QB into the deep end of a pool vs Oklahoma or Texas. Instant confidence killer

Kinda like changing qbs 100 times a season.

 

[xboxfever]

If Jantz plays poorly, I am hoping Richardson gets a chance. I am hoping JB never plays again. He is a lot worse than Jantz.

You are clueless. Or a troll...?

They dropped Barnett heading into the Baylor game...not Oklahoma...big difference.
