We will be better for one, broad reason. Because we have a staff that's willing to adapt and change their system based on the talent they have, instead of force a system onto group of kids that aren't, well, Iowans. 

What makes you say that?  They're bringing the air raid, and it wouldn't matter if our roster was comprised entirely of 400 pound Samoan Iowans.

Well, yeah . . . But as you already pointed out, the "supposed to" doesn't usually correspond with reality.  They often need a whole year to adjust to the game and speed at the FBS level.  If players were more often redshirted out of juco, they would be more likely to contribute 2 solid years of play to the team.

It is a bit of a conundrum. From a fan's perspective I just try to not expect much of anything from jucos for at least their first year and usually not much after that either.
