Looking at their schedule, when does he get challenged?

We have 8 ACC games to play - so in all of those. We're everbody's Super Bowl and typically we've dropped a couple of those games every year we've had no right to. 

USF pushed Alabama close in Tuskaloosa, they're no slouches.

Hunter is a gamble. He gets all this hype for playing two ways but I don't like the long term of a guy putting double the mileage on his body. That's a major concern. We already have one Horn.

It definitely speaks to Hunter’s talent but if the two way player angle hypes folks they must remember that they are likely only getting half the player.  I doubt the team that drafts him is gonna engage in that.

On the topic of Cam Ward.  I think he shows a lot of tools, but we haven't really seen him play anybody.  He's the type of QB prospect that I think should sit after he gets drafted and watch a veteran like Dalton play.  Very few guys are ready to come in and play immediately like a CJ Stroud or Jayden Daniels.  I think Ward has a lot more potential than Bryce, but I think that's true for just about any other QB prospect available.

Miami fan here, Cam is the real deal. Landing him next year would be a pipe dream. He's definitely top 5 talent, pro will win Heisman too.

He's got that silent but strong leadership quality like Stroud. His teammates respect and listen to him, he leads with his play on the field, looks calm, looks more skilled than everyone, can make every through, he can run. He talks some shitt after a TD, he'll get in your D's head. Everything you wanna see out there really.

Not only all of that, but imagine having another Cam wearing #1 in Carolina.

What I like is he's a 4 year starter, even his 2020 rookie year he started 6 games. Every year he's moved to a bigger stage, this year they haven't had much equal competition, but he put up very solid numbers at Washington State where they were probably often on the other end of that spectrum talent wise. I think he'd beat out Bryce no problem in camp, I'd sit him for a while behind Dalton, maybe bring him in on certain packages to get his feet wet, he's not a run first guy but he's got a decent amount of rushing td's to show he can do it when called upon.

Do you even watch college football bro?

 

Like seriously this is a top 5 QB prospect in the country and you talking about him having to compete for a position. You sound crazy right now.

 

Just admit you don't like the Sanders family and keep it moving. No wonder Colorado is still a big deal in college football. The haters keep them relevant. 

You can say I watch a little college football, yes.

With that, I appreciate you have “passion” for this kid and we can agree to disagree but I’m going to leave this here:

Sakure Sanders was not a highly sought after player coming out of High School, the only college that offered him a scholarship was Jackson State, why?  His daddy promptly took the head coaching job there and schemed to pat his stats and even with that was not headhunted by any power 5 school, why is that?  Knowing this, and to get his son more exposure Deon took the job at Colorado and immediately named his son, now a transfer, as the starter.  Now, Deon cleaned house when he got there because the players were not good enough when he arrived but now they have 4 and 5 star talent that can’t win,  why is that?  The answers are all pretty simple, you see that right?  Because you watch college football…right?

your qb evaluations have been aces recently  🤣

Yeah Teddy to Ward comp is weird… One is a gunslinger with a strong arm and good enough legs, the other is a conservative game manager… They might be polar opposites. Ward’s weaknesses (TOs and holding the ball) are Teddy’s strengths.

Do you think he is a top prospect? I feel like you would have the best read on him being a Miami fan.

Does Ward turn the ball over a lot?  Looking at his stats, doesn't seem to have a lot of turnovers.  7 total last year.

LMAO 

 

Bro got a conspiracy theory that Prime is trying to stat pad his son stats while having the worst Oline in college football. You see the hits his son has taken behind that Oline?

 

Cmon CRA let it go bro. 

 

 

it's not a conspiracy that Deion Sanders has constructed an offense that prioritizes his son and what his son's resume/stats will be.  It's just water being wet. 

and Deion Sanders and what the O chooses to do....is what makes that OL the worst in college football.  You keep running with that and it's just not true.  They got talent.  It's bought.   They got more talent than plenty of teams on the OL.  But when you put an OL in 5 and 4 wide situations all game and let a defense pin their ears back all game....with a QB that holds the ball looking for the big play to unfold......they are going to appear really bad.  It's all in the setup. 

North Dakota St was literally giving a free opportunity they never should of seen.....and came up 3 yards short because the Sanders team prioritizes family over the basics a middle school football team should be able to grasp lol.  

Where will Deion Sanders be next season? It won't be Colorado.  He is full of poo.  It's a reality TV show in Colorado.  Little else.

My goodness dude why do you keep talking about his daddy?

 

He's a top 5 QB prospect. I don't care about his high school ranking that's literally irrelevant.

 

You and CRA need to stop with this conspiracy theory stuff. Thinking Daddy can stay pad his son stats with a terrible Oline is crazy. He's not even calling the plays LMAO.

 

Cmon guys just let it go

    • The Falcons win was a fantastic way to end the season and I think just about every Panthers fan would agree the team the coaching staff and particularly Bryce Young were impressive. We really needed that. Credit where it's due. At the same time. Now we have to establish it wasn't just a flash in the pan. We had one of those earlier in the season against the Raiders. As a tortured Panthers fan I have to acknowledge that. I know you're joking but in all seriousness I don't think the QB sneak is something for us to be concerned about in general but I would be lying to myself if I did not acknowledge that looking back at one particular game last season where we continually trotted out Eddie Pinero on 4th and short on the opponents side of the field we could use some creativity in those situations and it's also a matter of predictability. As time goes on it's something for Canales to work on and figure out. Especially with our kicker situation as it stands.
    • I appreciate the measured tone, truly. Hopefully we're at a point where we can dive a little deeper into the discussion. The observation about his footwork is fair in theory, but I'd also counter with 6'1" Brock Purdy recently admitting that he can't see his target on 40% of his throws due to the linemen in front of him. He just inked a massive deal, and while a lot of fans are understandably wondering what he's going to do with reduced weapons, "not seeing over the line" just doesn't seem to be that big of a disqualifier with his understanding of timing, leverage, and pre-snap reads (Aaron Rodgers is 6'2"... bet he's dealt with the same). Bryce is likely dealing with similar challenges due to his size, but it clearly doesn't mean it can't be managed at a high level. Also, I'm not convinced that "prototypical footwork" should be the end goal for a QB that isn't built like the prototype. What matters more is timing and rhythm with his receivers... which, as we've both noted, has been evolving as the WR room flips from vet stopgaps to rookies. He will need to improve there. That's not in dispute. What is in dispute is the impact that footwork is having on his ability to process and execute. The earlier suggestion that he's “hopping around” to see the field implies a frantic or panicked visual search, which just isn’t something we’ve seen reflected in either the film or any reliable breakdown. If it were as exaggerated as described, it would’ve become a meme-worthy moment (or at least been on SportsCenter's Not Top 10). Instead, we've seen a QB who, like many young passers, occasionally loses platform stability under pressure. That is something that's common and correctable, and again, not something that shows up with enough frequency to suggest it's an endemic flaw. It’s worth continuing to track, but to argue it's a defining issue requires stronger proof than anecdote. As for the "investments" made in the offense after drafting Bryce, I think that might be stretched a bit. Yes, we've used back-to-back firsts on WRs and signed guards to big contracts. But beyond that? Mingo (2nd) and Diontae (FA) are gone. Zavala (4th) was the worst-rated OL in the league his rookie year Sanders (4th) and Evans (5th) are mid-round TEs. Tremble was given a small contract extension but is said here to be at best a blocking TE2. Jimmy Horn Jr (6th) and Coker (UDFA) are the other WR investments Corbett + BC got one-year deals coming off of injury Cade Mays was tendered, but he was cut to start last season That's not some overwhelming infusion of elite talent. It's better, sure... but acting like it's some embarrassment of riches feels overstated. Expecting instant chemistry and impact from rookies and second-year guys while simultaneously mocking the idea of contending this year also feels a little... off? So far, what I've heard as your criteria boils down to red zone efficiency and intermediate passing to the sidelines? You mentioned moving the ball inside the 20s... I'd recommend 3rd down conversion rate, big-time throws, and turnover-worthy plays. For red zone play specifically, we could look at turnovers inside the 20. Incompletions in the red zone as well as intermediate sideline incompletions could provide an interesting starting point for film study. Hell, any of these would give us a more objective framework to work from if you're open to using them. Do any of them work for you?
    • I honestly can't stand the knee jerk emotional fans on both sides be they critical or homers, very much a wait and see try to remain objective as long as possible type fan.
