We have to have one on the roster to try and develop and i kindof agree a second is too high but mccord does look the part

I don't agree that we have to have one to develop. We don't ever develop those guys anyway, so what is the point of forcing that issue?

Additionally, there are ample cast-off younger veteran QB's that are available every offseason if it's some strange requirement to have one(it isn't).

I want to trade down.  We are not ready for a rookie qb.  If we get one select him later in draft or rd 2 if someone falls.   We need lots of draft capital.  And if we are at 1 and raiders at 10ish we could fleece them

We're ready on O for a rookie QB - that OLine is as good as it gets - but he'd have to win a shootout every week.

Oh yeah @CRA I'm no homer I agree with you on Sanders holding the ball too long. Yeah his Oline is bad, but some of those sacks were his fault. If he has a weakness it's holding the ball and taking unnecessary sacks. He has to work on that.

That’s literally been my only real critique of him.  The QB.  I don’t think in big moments he goes for the big play too much.  But that’s not a major one,    That 4th and 5.  Think there were smarter plays.  

but that’s a big concern trying to transition to the NFL.  It’s a much bigger flaw to a QBs game at the next level. 

I wish Colorado would get away from the 4 wide hero ball scheme they essentially force him into.  I still think they could win more games if they tweaked things.   It would also help get him out of the bad habits he is building on

part of the reason the reason he doesn’t have a run game to work off of is just scheme and playcalling.  They had like negative 30 rushing last night.  That’s not talent.  That’s on the coaches.  They got the talent to run in that conference.

4 teams in college football didn’t use the portal 

3 of those 4 are now in the top 25. 

portal is nice for a random kid here or there.  I think the overuse of it also presents a double edged sword at times.   Too many random parts isn’t always going to trump teams that are building year after year

WTF CRA has something positive to say about Colorado.

That post literally could have been made last week.  Exact same stuff said.  Not a new thought made. 

 I got one new thought.  the forgotten Sanders son will be over drafted thanks to dad and the hype machine.  Colorado has been better without him.

So 22 of the teams in the top 25 used the portal, ergo teams should use the portal.  🙂

This will probably change but I like Sanders and Beck as the top guys right now.   Beck has really good traits and I like his upside a lot

I don’t like anyone enough for our barebones team to gamble on them.  Go draft some sure thing LB or something hard to screw up

That’s different math though 

3 of the 4 non portal teams are in the top 25.  That’s 75%.  The football powers told you the these teams were all being left behind.  

124 teams used the portal.  22 of those are in the top 25.  17%. 

point is simply, the football powers are all about ruining college football.  The portal is indeed broken.   And they spammed college football fans that teams that didn’t use the broken system were essentially doing college football wrong and would be left behind.   Which doesn’t appear to be the case.  

something to be said about building and developing your guys 

Portal has its place.  I still contend it’s broke and guys like Dabo are largely right about it all.

Sorry, my comment was slightly tongue in cheek.  I am not a fan of what has happened to college football recently as a whole,  with the portal being a part of it.  

I am assuming one of the teams you are referring to is Army and maybe Navy since they are in one of the polls.

Clemson, Army, Navy and Air Force are the only 4 schools not to use the portal.  First 3 are in the top 25 this week. 

which is a bit of a middle finger to the narrative you have to join the mess or be left behind

    • I used to think Juan was a Zod alt. Agree he's a great poster.
    • Hawks said nah we good and sent him to the shadow realm aka the Wizards. Cold blooded. I mean they're 2-2 in a series with a young up and coming Knicks team largely through 34 year old CJ McCollum. Even if they ultimately lose the series at least they are there and have something to build on. I think Hornets fans are just beaten down and lack the objectivity to assess the situation. They think we are going to get so much worse if and when we finally change gears. Worse how? We've already been a lottery team for years now. We've already been looking to win our first playoff series in about a quarter century. We already can't get past the play in and in failing to do so we have completely embarrassed ourselves twice looking like we don't even belong. Honestly there is absolutely no excuse for a team like the Magic to be more competitive and successful than us in the playoffs. Absolutely disgusting. But that's just me. I was fuging lit when we got the Hornets back in Charlotte but that is old old news. It's time for these boys to get into a playoff series. Enough is enough. If they can't do it for 2026-27 then they need to make wholesale changes regardless.
    • Not one single pick that is asking me why we drafted a guy in the first place. It was a guy we needed and/or a guy that had certain traits making them stand out. Best of all, I feel everyone we drafted are capable of stepping onto the field this year and have a meaningful role (even Kuwatch on special teams). Obviously, nothing is guaranteed but I'm not seeing any huge flags on guys because they're risky projects or massive overreaches.
