my thoughts on CU football

Boulder, CO
Replying to @YeahBuffs
Lastly, scouts are clearly overlooking Shedeur's maturity, leadership, clutch ability, and *it* factor. In a league where 1-2 plays often decide games, history has proven that these intangibles have defined great NFL QBs. I believe that Shedeur Sanders will continue that trend.

Shedeur is a franchise saving QB who Cleveland got for pennies. Excited to watch them finally realize it this Friday, or fumble the chance to revitalize their organization.

Clearer than ever that Chidozie Nwankwo NEEDS TO BE SIGNED. Some team will get a steal 🔒
Average NFL third down conversion percentage in 3rd and 5 is 46%. In 3rd and 7, that drops all the way down to 36%. It's okay to draft run stoppers that get you into 3rd and 7 instead of 3rd and 5. Even if they don't get the sacks themselves, they help your pass rush.

Shedeur will make it, I’m still just as confident as ever. He just needs to keep his head down and continue grinding. When someone believes in him and buys into his development, I PROMISE he will completely change their franchise.

Micah Welch looks different this camp. More twitchy and explosive since he lost weight and his vision looks really nice from what I’ve seen. I know neither of these are crazy plays but he wasn’t moving like this before.

*Colorado has the best quarterback *Colorado has the best wide receiver ROOM *Colorado has the best cornerback *Colorado will prove to have a top defensive line in the b12 *Colorado will have multiple o linemen in consideration for all b12 *Colorado will NOT finish 11th
My Big 12 predictions. Feel free to respond with questions and I will answer them. I worked for quite a while on this as well and it came down to a few things: * Arizona has the best quarterback * Arizona has the best wide receiver * Arizona has arguably the best offensive line prospect * Arizona has a top three corner * Arizona has a top 3 linebacker

A few days after the BYU game, my main takeaway is that this CU team can still be a lot better than most ppl (including many fans) think. They’re close but the clock’s winding, they badly need to learn how to close out games.
