All to Iowa

Go to NFL! 

I'm good with this - the guy had some hard feelings when he left, but that is what happens when you're unhappy and young. He'll learn from saying things on the way out the door if he ends up in the NFL and gets cut for the 1st time. Bad mouthing a team at that level gets you a very bad reputation that proceeds you.

Iowa deserves a good year from Cade and Erick. That D was so good yet got screwed by an incompetent OC, QB, OL, etc. Nebraska had only one real big offensive play against them (long bomb). But the other 17 points came off of short fields and Iowa turnovers. 

The key for Iowa fans is beating the big three: Iowa State, Wisky, Minny

Two of those are on the road, where Cade's experience will help. All, if healthy, will be his go-to receiver. Like Laporta was this year. Good luck to Iowa and all.

I have a feeling the team is better off without these dudes…both looked kind of like clowns on the way out, and I have a feeling both have “over involved football dads” that think their kids are the only answer to a team’s needs. No thanks. Trust the coaches. 

Good luck. Let's not speak of them again.

Nothing like picking a place where you can only make it trend upwards.  Good luck to both of them.  Hope to see them in the title B1G Title game.

The smart move for Iowa may be to let Cade be the OC and QB.  

They are very young men who let their emotions get the better of them and said some things they shouldn't have said.  Whatever.  I imagine they'll regret it at some point.  Not going to affect their lives or our team in the long run.

I think the real issue is whether they made good decisions.  I suppose they might be friends who wanted to play together.  But why Cade thinks playing for Brian Ferentz is going to help him get to the NFL is beyond me.  And why Erick thinks he's better off playing for Iowa than continuing an excellent career at U of M is also beyond me.  At least Iowa has a good track record with TEs to the NFL, but he had that already at U of M.

As for the medical stuff with All, his surgeon issued a statement criticizing the U of M doctors.  That's utterly unprofessional and makes me question anything he does.  Sounds like Erick got used to further that doctor's career ambitions.  Hopefully it won't come back too haunt him.

I realize both he and Cade left with a bit of salt, but they're young guys with a lot of pride in an emotional moment. They'll both always be among the heroes of the pivotal 2021 season. I wish them both the best and victory over the perfidious Badger 

didn't see that one coming!

Feel a little bad for All because he just seems kind of clueless. Not a fan of Cade, though. Don't really care what happens with Iowa next season!

Good luck to the kid. Wish he wasn’t so salty on the way out.

Iowa is not going to have a stellar year. No way they’re getting through the 5 game stretch of @PSU, MSU, Purdue, @Wisc, Minn without 1-2 losses, plus they play Bert later in the season. 8-4 or 9-3 at best. 

Whatever . . . frankly the way both Cade and All left has completely turned me off to rooting for them as players. I'm not wishing for them to do poorly, I just won't be pulling for them. It did strike me as interesting that neither of them seemed to be involved with the team at all following their injuries. Some folks said that's normal for an injured player to not be around the team/disengaged, but I present you with counter-evidence in the form of one Ronnie Bell. Those who stay . . .

Seemed like the most likely landing spot. Good luck to him, hope he gets and stays healthy and is able to make it to the NFL.

I'll never fault anyone for doing what they think is best, and obviously I know very little about their situations and all that, but I really couldn't care less to see them succeed at Iowa. If they do, good for them. If they don't, not bothered by it. 

Not sure how I feel about the All situation, since by and large it seemed he was still around the team and supporting his teammates and everything, but I don't have any well-wishings for Cade. Really felt like he quit on the team and pouted the season away. I also just don't think he's...that good. Certainly serviceable, but I'm not sure he's the savior they think he his or HE thinks he is. He didn't want to believe JJ was clearly more talented than him, so I wouldn't mind him being brought down to earth again. 

Then again if Iowa had anything even remotely comparable to a QB this year they probably would have been in Indy, so maybe it'll all work out. Never the less, not going out of my way to root for these guys. I'm obviously appreciative of what they gave Michigan last year and their impact on the program, but it can also be true that they've done detrimental things too. 

Magnanimity is overrated.  

I don't wish him ill, but I certainly don't wish him well.  

Two of the greatest captains in UM history. 

I'm of two minds on this. On the one hand, there is almost no industry in which bridge burning is rewarded. On the other, there is precedent for a former Michigan player to take swipes at UM, get a lot of blowback from current players, and have everything turn out all right. 

My taking on All is he followed the advice of doctors initially, then decided when dad got involved to have the surgery out of network. After that he was likely told you will have to be cleared which isn't likely and have to earn your spot back which was the extra slap in the face to him. All speculation but reading between the stories this seems likely. 

I made a post(not here socials) immediately following JJ's first start that thanked Cade for all he had done it was clear what was coming. If your Harbaugh and your aren't 100% sure you can win with JJ you don't even open it up. It was clear as soon as he said they were both getting a start and even that I think was Harbaugh giving Cade a thank you for all you've done son. Pretty sour on the way he's acted honestly. Better man won the job you tip your cap and move on thankful for the time you had. 

Them being roommates and friends is probably another huge factor. Amazingly benching your Big Ten Champion QB didn't fracture the team more honestly. Why? Cause it was brutally obvious to everyone involved who the better, higher ceiling QB was. 

The Erick All drama was weird and I'm glad it's over now.

Does this officially end the trade of Jake Rudock to Michigan for 2 players to be named later?

Correction: only some are going to Iowa.

Good for him and Cade. 

I would like to beat the dogshit out of Iowa next year for our back-to-back-to-back B1G crown and show them what they missed out on.

Their offense is still going to be horrific when they play legit defenses.  

All will add some depth to the tight end room if his surgically repaired spine allows him to play.  

While I always kind of felt that Cade came off as entitled, I liked All. Too bad it ended on a sour note. He seemed like a "give everything to the program" kind of guy.
