Iowa football: Nate Stanley is our quarterback, and that’s a good thing

Often times, if you have a three-time team captain and two-year starter at quarterback, you’ve got a good thing going. This is the exact position the Iowa football team is in, but you wouldn’t know it by how much fans complain about him.

Before I begin expressing why Iowa football fans should be appreciative of Stanley, I want to first address some of his perceived faults.

  • He’s inaccurate
  • Historically has a knack for 1 or 2 real bad throws a game
  • Doesn’t put up big passing numbers
  • Falls silent in big games

Now let me address those:

  • Inaccuracy: This is 100% an accurate statement (see what I did there), but the guy is improving.
