I think I have been mostly fair about the situation. He's still a lesser QB in the SEC, but you can still win if he can use his legs to help move the chains and get the ball to Burden. [Reply]

Drink is 40. He still has a lot of learning to do and improvement, but he's shown signs of growth and change.
He's not perfect, but I think he's shown he isn't totally stubborn.
What is there to learn? The first delay of game was inexcusable. To do it AGAIN when it pushes your kicker 5 yards back while we're currently set up at his career long for a game winning field goal is incomprehensible incompetence. [Reply]

What QBs in the SEC would you take over Cook right now?
I’ll conceit the following as of now:
Rattler
Rogers (though he’s been ass so far this season)
Dart
Leary
Daniels
Jefferson [Reply]

Are you hoping Mizzou loses ALL of their games? [Reply]
This is why I wanted Drink to take deep shots for Burden last season, even with Cooks limitations he can still get lucky on some down field throws. [Reply]

I'll take a bunch of games like this, I guess. He can stumble around the sideline drunkenly while coasting on the high end talent the boosters are buying. [Reply]

How much of that is on Drink vs the players vs position coaches?

Coming from a Hawkeye fan under Ferentz there has been many games like this where Iowa just squeaks by a Div II Northern Iowa, or South Dakota and the fans all scream bloody murder, then the next week they beat Iowa State in the 3rd game of the season and all is good.
