McNamara crystal ball to Iowa

My gut reflex was to feel badly for Cade. Hopefully his grad program there is excellent.

if McNamara goes to Iowa, would he raise them up or would Ferentz fils drag him down?

I think it’s pretty safe to say we won that trade 

Not sure if you're being sarcastic but Iowa's offensive line is terrible. He's going to get murdered behind those dudes unless they fix all their issues by next year. 

Hate to see it man I was hoping he'd go somewhere in the pac12

I’m not sure where you’ve been the past few years, but Iowa does NOT have a great OL… hopefully that was sarcasm

Cade is definitely an upgrade over what they have, so it’s a good pickup for Iowa. I just don’t think it’s a good move for Cade. He’s not really putting himself in the best situation to succeed. 
 

Iowa’s OL isn’t going to protect him and he doesn’t have the mobility to compensate for that. Iowa doesn’t have a great running game to pull pressure off of Cade. And they don’t have weapons on the outside for Cade to utilize. Cade doesn’t have the arm talent to really create offense. At the end of the day he is a game manager and in the right situation, he can be an effective QB. 
 

Cade could have done better than Iowa.

Yes, transferring per Pete Thamel. Maybe mods can update the title.

It's on Pete Thamel's twitter and he's a senior CFB writer for ESPN.

Naw man, it'll be Nebraska. ;-)

Just depends on what kind of pass heavy offense. Put him in an Air Raid/Run and Shoot offense and he’d be fine. Especially considering those offenses rely heavily on pre-snap reads from the QB. They’re designed for short quick passes so throwing downfield and flashing arm strength wouldn’t be a big part of his duties anyway.

Pass heavy doesn’t inherently mean throwing the ball downfield a bunch. 

He can hit the fade. He can hit the post. He can hit the slants. The only thing he really can't hit is the rifle to the far sideline. You don't need a cannon to play in a pass heavy offense. 

Go to a Pac 12 school next year after Caleb Williams, Bo Nix and Micheal Penix leave. Should be plenty of opportunities to slot right in and play. He certainly doesn't have the arm but he always reminded me of a poor man's Drew Brees who reads defenses well and takes what the defense gives you.
