New Commit Colandrea N

[Quint]

Not a Dylan hater either, but most of the time he played like a high skilled game manager. Maybe that works for a team with a ton of talent, but outside of the end of the game at Maryland he never really did much to actually take a game over.

We need someone that’s going to make some plays and make things happen. Might be a few more bumps in the road along the way, but gives us a fighting chance at an upset or two next year.

Also a true QB run threat will just make everything easier for us.

I don’t know how much of this to blame on the staff vs Raiola, but we never stopped playing not to lose.

Well, it's going to be staying with him while at NU. If any program can bring out the "whoopsie-daisy" in a player, it's DONU.

Or coach

Man, what a turnaround on this forum in the last 24 hours

 

[That SOB Van Owen]

Offense is gonna be a complete gong show next year with this kid.

Can’t wait.

We need another QB for depth, but I just don’t think you’re gonna convince anyone with aspirations to start that this is their best option. I mean, I guess you could potentially over pay someone to be Colandrea’s back-up. Tell him if he wins the job it’s his, but if doesn’t happen you’ll be one of the highest paid back ups 🤷‍♂️ Not sure how Colandrea would take that as well? Not sure what he can do one he’s signed and the paperwork is processed? Nothing seems impossible in today’s CFB.

Ultimately, I think bringing in a FCS guy who’s played well for market back up money. Then spend the extra cash on another player at a position of need. Spending more on someone to compete with Colandrea seems like a little more of a risky proposition. Potentially.

But I promise you Colandrea pushed the ball downfield more and obviously added a ton with that baller speed.

I'm not a Dylan hater, but this has me excited a bit. Going to be an 'edge of your seat' type player, but fun to watch.

Agree. Colandrea fumbles while going balls to the wall to pick up extra yards while DR proceeds to slide 1 1/2 yards short on 3rd down and taking hits as a statue in the pocket. I will take Colandrea all day.

Colandrea already adds another 25 yards per game passing vs Raiola. And then his rushing is a net 55 yards vs Dylan.

Only lost 3 fumbles

Yeah, but which team recovers fumbles is flukey, so I didn't include that.

Can’t wait.

Who's gonna be RB, though?

$2.3 million

You're off by close to a mill for guaranteed money.

Actual NIL added to it has the opportunity to exceed your number, by a little. Shouldn't be an issue with the Clearinghouse either.

$1.5m guaranteed?

his last year of football was 2024. The coach's son, Dante Reno, was QB1 last year.

It is. I just didn't read all the way through the post. I'll edit with credit to you on first to report!

That reminds me of 2015 Miami when Tommy Armstrong threw 2 INTs in regulation that contributed to us being down by 23 in the 4th quarter, then single-handedly brought us back in an insane whirlwind to force OT, then threw another INT in overtime and Miami won after all haha. But still, he was playing to WIN on every single snap, and I always loved him for it. Colandrea seems like he is a much more effective passer too.

EDIT: Armstrong had a wild stat line in that game: 21/45 for 309 yards, 4 TDs, 3 INTs, 49 rush yards. You don't see many sub 50% 300+ yard games very often haha.

I loved Tommy but I'm an old man now and my heart can't take that shit anymore. Tommy also had a cannon. I don't think Colandrea has the same distance but I wouldn't call his arm weak either from what I've seen.

Maybe we can put 12-15 pounds on the kid so he doesn't get his limbs dislocated throughout the season.

If I drop a TBone steak into a pack of dogs, who will end up with the steak?

Whichever dog is hungriest is the answer.

Also - I am not Mike Vick.

I could get a good luck a t-bone by sticking my head up a bull's ass, but I'd rather take the butcher's word for it.
