QBOTF question from Iowanian(s)

Frankie · 10-22-2004, 12:51 PM

Drew Tate?

What do you think? Should we start pimping him for the Chiefs? Agewise he seems just right to arrive about a year before Trent Green's decline.

(And yes, I am a Cyclone fan, but much more so a Chiefs fan. So in cases like this I put aside the Cyclone/Hawkeye rivalry.)

Haven't seen him play as of yet. I'll let you know after 11/20.

**Iowanian** · 10-22-2004, 12:53 PM

I have a friend, who works for the team, is friends with some players, and has lots of good inside juice.

He says Tate isn't the best QB on the team.....Manson is, by far(according to him).......

Tate has looked pretty good the past couple of weeks, but its pretty darn early to be pimping him for the NFL. He's got Drew Brees Potential.

Whatever happened to that midget QB the Iowa fans were pimping a couple of years ago?

Seneca Wallace. IIRC plays for the Seahawks.

Then why is Manson not starting?

Because the "friend that works for the team and is friends with some of the players" is more specifically probably the jock-strap washer that has a man-crush on Manson.

That, or he knows more about football than one of the most respected young coaches in NCAA football. What does Kirk Ferentz know about QBs? He's only produced a Heisman finalist and one the top (statistical) QBs in Iowa's history in the last two years.

I think he's going to be good. I think he will have a monster year next season. I have no clue how he would fit into the NFL but I think he will need to be looked at in time, but not right now.

**Iowanian** · 10-22-2004, 12:57 PM

Brad Banks?

He's been signed by a couple of NFL teams as a FA, but I think he was cut again........he might be in the place where the national anthem is "oh cahnaduh, eh"

**Saulbadguy** · 10-22-2004, 12:57 PM

Ah..IOWA fans. I didn't know Brad Banks was a midget. I knew Seneca Wallace was shorter...

Hoover · 10-22-2004, 12:58 PM

My cat is smarter than Brad Banks

Sure why not.
IMO, the comparisons between Tate and Drew Brees are right on, except Tate's a better scrambler.
As a Hawk fan, I'm friggin thrilled he has 2 1/2 years left at Iowa.

Frankie,
If ISU can't beat Baylor tomorrow, they should consider dropping down to 1-AA next season, as that appears to be the only teams they can beat.

Beating Baylor shouldn't make a damn bit of diff. They should fire this HC's ass and pull a football's version of the Johnny Orr hiring. Enough is f@#^ing enough.

Thats right on. I think Tate is our best hope to lead Iowa to a BCS Championship next year and the year after.

Of course, the Arizona State fans on the bb prolly think we're on drugs.
