'12 CO QB Cyler Miles (Signed to Washington)
- Thread starter Buffnik
- Start date
According to NCAA 12 LSU runs a multiple system which features some spread and pistol. CU does not to the same extent.
What???
And the coaches selected what they prefer
How do you suppose you are going to compare and contrast them when they play different positions?
I do love how this guy has declared cyler the better passing qb and is takin it as gospel. Scout membership ftw!

Hard to compare QB's because there are to many factors like say talent, coaching and etc.
Lots of folks do. He's a hell of a prospect.

Most teams take one QB a recruiting cycle, CU has Hirschman, Wood, who will be sophomores- Dorman who is a RS Frosh. Add Dillion and we have plenty of young players at QB. I have no idea why you brought Apodaca into the conversation he is a reach at this level -like saying why didn't you pursue Jessica Alba and Phyllis Diller...CU had Dillion as their top priority coming into this cycle, he committed early and they stopped recruiting a QB.
Because he didn't want to come here?

because he didnt want to come here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Because he wanted to go out of state. I really like Miles as a prospect and wish he was coming to Boulder in a few months, but it was just not in the cards. Hopefully we do not lose more athletes of his caliber to other PAC-12 schools going forward.

I understand Miles wasn't going to come here but I'm not sure a guy with his athletic skills should be ignored regardless of our "pro set" system. These kind of players usually make average college teams to conference contenders based on the fact its much harder for college defenses to defend players that can run and pass the ball.
If I had a choice of QBs, I rather have Kordell type than a Detmer type regardless of what "system" I was running. Good coaches should be able to tailor their "systems" to match the players strengths.

Are you suggesting us to change the offense strategy or something?
Yes, we could play WVU or Oregon offense. But do we?

Not necessarily. I just think that if we could find a QB that can run and pass well that it would improve our chances to win than having a drop back passer. Kordell didn't play in the spread. Russel Wilson didn't play in the spread. Vick wasn't in a spread at Va Tech.
So between Luck type QB and Wilson type QB, which one do you prefer? Manning or Vick who do you prefer?
Both are good QBs and you can only choose one, so our coaches take one they want. Sure we would love to have Miles as well, but it's just not gonna happen. It's something everyone have to do, you get some, lose some. I just don't understand what are you guys whining about.

Much easier to find a Wilson type in college (who isn't a NFL prospect) than one that is that as good as Luck.
Running QBs can cover up talent deficiencies on the offensive side of the ball. Can also help your defense if you play a time of possession type of game by keeping it off the field.
The coaches don't mind a quarterback who can run. They tried to get Tyler to run more, in fact. They also plan to let Wood play his game. But priority #1 is that any QB they recruit has to be able to win from the pocket. Shane can. He committed. Cyler was looking out of state. I wish him well when he's not playing CU. He definitely respected the program during the recruiting process and only had good things to say in interviews.
I don't see Cyler ever playing BCS level football at QB. No question he is a better athlete than Shane, a big part of why he is rated higher by many along with him playing for a team which is a higher profile program and his being on the services radar for a longer time.
That all said as a passer I will take Dillon. There is a reason that Mullen played Cyler at various positions and didn't leave him at QB, he has great legs and a strong arm. Dillon has a strong arm as well and at the camps showed that he has better QB skills.
I would love to have Cyler at CU and even give him a shot at QB but I would rather have Dillon. Cyler can hope to be a QB but I put the over under on a position change at 6 weeks into his freshman season. The real question is does he end up at WR or more likely DB.
