Iowa QB Stanley

[The Bopkin]

So I am not advocating this guy be our QB selection-
But I am wondering what guys who scout think about him. I saw 3-4 Iowa games this year and to me he looks like a better QB option than say a guy like Jalen Hurts, who is projected pretty high. Stanley had a very good bowl game vs USC, and in the games I saw him he made a lot of nice throws and is tough.
I wonder what the thinking is on him: Potential mid rounder with a possible successful future, or just stay away?

I see Stanley as having Mason Rudolph type ability as far as the NFL goes.

That’s not much ability...lol

He has a better arm- you'd think that Rudolph would have a good arm but he doesn't.

3rd or 4th Senior quarterback for me. I flip flop back and forth between him and James Morgan for the 3rd/4th Senior QB on my board.

He's on that borderline of late day 2/early day 3 pick for me. Late 3rd round/early 4th round grade. One of the few Senior quarterbacks in this class that actually have the chance to develop into a starter at the next level....but most likely a backup. Has some Big Ben in his game. You'll see 3 and 4 Michigan defenders hanging off of him trying to get him down and still staying on his feet and getting rid of the ball somehow if you watch the game vs the Wolverines - similar to Roethlisberger in that respect. Pretty sure I mentioned this in my Senior QB thread back then.

Has some timing issues with reads and getting the ball out. Inconsistent, but the tools are there. Very up and down, inconsistent player. Never know what you're getting from week to week with him. Looks like a 1st round one game - UDFA the next. Rinse. Repeat.

I would throw out any game against USC for evaluation. Iowa vs. USC is a mismatch based on physicality and intensity alone

It is amazing how USC has gone from national program who could poach guys from anywhere to barely a Southern California team who loses guys to UCLA and pretty much everyone else.
