"was"?
#35 is rarefied air. Seems high, but he did look good at the AA game. Hope he has a great career at Washington except for the couple times he'll play CU.

He never really seemed that high on Udub.

If UW loses Cyler Miles then I think their fanbase will start jumping off of the nearest bridges.
Given the three coaches they just got, I don't think the husky fans have much to worry about.

IMO, I don't think the UW coaches see Cyler as a QB. They are going to let him compete for the job, but when they bring in a BC QB, ****'s going to hit the fan. Sark will try to convince Cyler to switch positions, and Cyler will transfer to Colorado State. :smile2:
I think you are nuts. Cyler is a significantly better athlete than Shane is, no question about that. As a QB I would take Shane any and every day of the week (unless you want to run something like a spread option that requires the QB to be highly athletic.)
If Cyler goes to SC that means that he also acknowledges that he won't be a D1 QB, no way in the world he ever starts for SC at QB. Frankly I don't see him lasting more that a week at QB for Washington either.
We'll find out. There's a lot to like about Cyler. No complaints about Shane and think he's going to be a really good one.

Both QB's are pretty good imo.
What is your opinion on Cyler's performance with Mullen this year?

Just had a very interesting conversation with a person who has some knowledge of the Mullen program from the inside. So I won't give up WHO, but I don't doubt the truth to this... First of all, CU was never interested in Cyler at QB. WR was their plan for him. So it makes sense that he would go to UW, where he was told he would have a shot. That also says that CU wants a pure passer and values Dillon much more. Second, Cyler is a MAYBE for Washington. He might be chasing jersey's and wants to go to the biggest program possible. We've seen how that can turn out, but best of luck to the kid. I'd bet that he ends up a WR no matter where he goes.
Or it says CU was actually up-front, rather than just telling a kid what he wants to hear. And yes, I do think Dillon probably fits the system better, too.

Yes while Shane may be more set for the Pro-style, I have studied both of there films and Cyler is a much better Passer. Mullen ran more of a run first game. If you look at his throwing motion it is much faster than Shanes'. He has a Micheal Vick throw. Very fast. He is a much better athlete. IMO every program needs a mobile quarterback. He was without a doubt the best quarterback at the AA game. He is very accurate and most of his picks this season were caused by the WR running bad routes. Shane, is yes... a Good QB, but just doesn't have the attributes that Cyler has. He is awkward in the pocket and has a slow motion, but when you watch his film most of his pics were overthrows/underthrows or just bad decisions like throwing into double coverage. I am EXTREMELY happy we got Shane but i feel it was a bad decision not to go after after a 2nd QB as a backup or give Shane serious competition. Hell I would have been happy to recruit Apodaca hard. Either of those would be huge! what if Shane has a bad injury were screwed. Cyler and Apodaca are both with in 100miles from boulder. I just don't get it.
I know right, how in the hell did the coaches like the top 7 Elite 11 QB more than the other guys?
bigbang's brother?
To get very good QBs like Dillon to commit, you promise they are the only QB you will take in that class. The staff is not introducing a bold strategy or anything. It is pretty much what you see everywhere.
They will try to sign another quality prospect in the 2013 class to give Dillon competition.

Shane showed better passing skills than Cyler at the Elite 11.
Whoa, who hooked you up with their Scout password?
Let me make this easier for you to understand since it has been said about 50 times in this thread already: Cyler Miles did not have much interest staying in-state. Instead of putting all of our efforts into recruiting him when it would have likely left us out in the cold later on, we decided to go hard after Dillon. To get Dillon, we promised he would be the only QB taken in this class.
Under your scenario, we might have ended up with Apodaca. We also might have whiffed completely.

What offense do we run?
You are going way beyond saying that and you know it. You are openly questioning the QB recruiting strategy of the coaches. Own it.
