Sometimes the backup QB is just clueless, and doesn't even know which way to hand the ball off.

As you point out in video clip #1, Spencer Petras ranks 118th out of the 118 FBS QBs rated for passing efficiency. With a porous o-line trying to use Padilla who is not a statue at QB is an advantage.
I get the point the coaches want to make -- Petras has a strong arm for the deep ball. He constantly overthrows receivers. He throws behind receivers. If given protection, or if Petras could move within or out of the pocket to buy time he could burn Ohio State deep with his strong arm. Padilla reads receivers and releases the ball quickly. Petras reads slowly, and gets sacked. The 118th ranked QB is a statue led by his 131st ranked offensive coordinator. Petras will not burn Ohio State short, deep, or middle range.
All this said, I doubt Padilla would be a big difference maker, but as coach you need to try to do something else when what you are doing is disastrous. Petras could always be brought back in if Padilla is worse.
Yeah, it isn't like you have much to lose. They are already worst-in-the-country bad so the alternative can't possibly be much worse, time to try something, anything.

Petras has a strong arm for the deep ball.

but,..the offense doesn't have many vertical options 

and doesn't seems to have many vertical options to run those types of routes

some people say he's the 131st worst OC, I like to say that he's the 131st best.

Does Kirk have any other family that could join the coaching staff?

I think if Brian got a little competition from another family member, he may improve his coaching.  Plus that family member you hire would certainly be good.  Looks like James Ferentz is our guy, but he is still participating in the NFL.  So that's something to look forward to soon when he retires.

This is often my thought. 

Like, the kid is bad, but also much better than us. So it's deeply reasonable that a backup could be worse. Shoot, we've all seen a lot of rosters when scholarship guys are just not that good (or not at the right spot in their development)

Yeah, I was thinking of a game I was at where they finally benched Steve Bellisari and brought in gunslinger Scott McMullen, who proceeded to hand the ball off left when the RB was on is right, and right when the RB was on his left.

When they put Bellisari back in, the fans were booing a lot less.

Except in Iowa's case, the backup QB Alex Padilla actually started 3 games last year and went 3-0 as a starter.  In typical Iowa fashion his stats were not great,  but Iowa won anyway.  His accuracy was low but he had a little better mobility than cement shoes Petras.  The mobility he showed last year could have been useful behind Iowa's awful OL this year.  But Padilla has not played 1 snap this year at QB.

Dumb,Tressel had no problem moving Craig Krenzel over and in.Though lumbering the guy seemed to always deliver - was clutch,big and tough as nails. If they play error free and move the chains I'd take a chance and move MR.3-0 over and in.Standing pat obviously isn't the answer

FIRE BRIAN!!!

Well Krenzel did get to start the final game of that season of course, after Scotty Mac blew the Illibuck game.

I see Charlie Jones just scored on another TD catch for Purdue. 

Charlie Jones played for Iowa for 3 years and had 3 TD catches total for Iowa.  He already has 8 TD catches in 7 games for Purdue.    Jones is exhibit A for how Iowa wastes WR talent.
