And so it begins...(tracking Coach Prime decommits/transfers)

[Stan Raymond]

It's going to be hard for Sanders to drop out of the 1st round this draft. After Beck there just isn't much for QBs, Ewers and Milroe if they continue to improve and decide to turn pro, but there isn't much QB talent in the draft, so somebody is going to take Sanders.

I also agree that Sanders is showing some issues. He is acting as if he has arrived, just doesn't see that he is putting in the work:

- Worked on his horrible rap song
- Went modeling
- Slacked off during sprints
- Slacked off in workout with Cam Ward
- Brady said he should be studying film instead of buying cars

Now each one doesn't mean squat, but when you put them together, I wonder how dedicated he is to the team and if he's putting in the work for a QB that is facing new conference opponents in a new offense. He is still a talented QB, but the Sean Lewis offense was perfect for him, short quick accurate throws. Sanders doesn't have a great arm and struggles with deeper throws. I don't see how Shurmur's changes in offense is going to help Sanders or Colorado.

I think it could be a rough year for Sanders' ego, both coach and son.

Sheadur would have to be able to score 100 I'm not sure he'll score 10 more less 100.

Well this thread got interesting with only 2 months until the game.

I think everyone who's discussing CU needs to ask two big questions before you prop them up at all:

1. Can Pat Shurmur really become an upgrade to Sean Lewis?

2. Can Robert Livingston, who's never coordinated a defense before, suddenly come in and insert a brand new scheme at the college level, where he has zero coaching experience?

I think everyone should be respectful of Shadeur' s talent mixed with 4 legit receivers. That's their team. That's their strength. You hit on 3 or 4 vertical routes and Nebraska makes some mistakes, and that's the anatomy for a loss.

But they have some serious questions.

Pat Shurmur couldn't buy an nfl assistant job. He has been fired more than Billy Martin. The only reason he got the CU job was because he lived in the Denver area. His hiring was by default.

CU couldn't find a DC. They didn't even know what defense they were going to run until after they brought in most of their transfers. Let's think about that for a minute. They were recruiting personnel to a scheme that didn't exist. This is how you sign a 6'0 285 lb D-Tackle to be an interior linemen in the 4-2-5. Their projected interior defensive linemen will be the smaller than what Nebraska will face vs UTEP or Northern Cockeye.

If you're going to run a 4-2-5, your defensive tackles have to keep offensive linemen off your linebackers or teams are going to kill you in the run game. Mazzucca and Ben Scott are going to just absolutely feast on that interior.


As for Shadeur Sanders the draft pick, I think he needs to clean up his maturity act or he will FALL in the draft. No doubt he has top 5 talent. But I believe his entitlement act is going to really scare teams in the interview room. His antics have "last guy sitting in the draft room" written all over him.

I thought you were picking CU to win vs NU?

It's entirely possible after seeing Bronny James get drafted.🤦

Shadeur is likely the 2nd QB off the board in next years draft

Yeah, Shedildo is still a 1st rounder, which is hard for me to say since I hate his guts.

My read on him as a pro prospect is this (ranking 1-10 scale):

Arm - deep ball: 7
Arm - mid range: 8.5
Arm - short range: 9
Legs - escapability: 8
Legs - as a weapon: 3.5
Cognition/read defenses: 9
Attitude/maturity: 4


I would not take him if I were an NFL GM. I'm assuming his big selling point is his blinker speed. He does see the field incredibly well. He cycles through receivers well. If you gave Adrian Martinez his blinker speed, AM would have won 3 Heismans & Fraudst would still be here.

In the end, I don't think he has the maturity or humility to be a great pro QB. I might take him if he really slipped in the draft though.

The most interesting Colorado question is whether I'll have to shield my children's eyes when Shadeur gets broken in half on the field because his entrails will be spilled all over

 

[Boondock_St_Sker]

Shadouche is both cocky and arrogant fed by his fathers split personality of holier than thou and superficiality blended with his “blessed” approach to life until confronted with the reality that no one gives a shit about you but those who depend on you.

I hope we break that mother fucker in two

I wouldn't classify Colorado as everybody's "Super Bowl", but there is extra incentive to beat them with all the media hype on them. The Colorado game is a bigger game due to the media hype, but it's still a game against a not very good team. You get the hype but not the quality of opponent.

I would never claim Shedildo as "staying level-headed and stay grounded", dude has a huge ego.

I think that's the thing, everyone wants to beat them because they talk so much and quite frankly, are borderline delusional. Their problem is they don't have the talent, depth, or coaching to back it up. I do however fear they will get to a bowl game this year and frustrate me. We will see how the first two games go.

So hard to say what they will look like, so many new players and a new offense and new defense. I do think they will be touchdown plus underdogs to @ Nebraska, Kansas State, @ Arizona, Utah, @ Kansas and Oklahoma State. Should be underdogs @ Texas Tech as well. They should beat NDSU as this isn't the NDSU from 5 years ago. They should probably beat Baylor, @ UCF and Cincinnati as well. Colorado should beat Colorado State, but that is going to be close. Colorado State hates Colorado and it's in Ft Collins, first time since 1998 I think, that's a big big game for Colorado State, I don't see Colorado wanting it as bad as Colorado State, but I do think that Colorado is a better team.

Momentum is so big in college football. If Colorado doesn't play well against NDSU gets blown out by Nebraska and loses to Colorado State, then their season is over and probably the Sanders era. But the opposite could happen as well, play well against NDSU, beat Nebraska and Colorado State then end up with 7 or 8 wins. A lot of different things could happen, hopefully Nebraska can be a part of their downfall.

Another article. Shine's really come off Sanders, use to be the media darling, now more of a media curiosity. Still talking about him but not nearly as flattering.
