He aspired, the league said no, he followed it to its rightful conclusion. He still played football, just in a role that was what it was. Ask Klatt, Cody, Sefo, Montez if they would be happy being Chase Daniel?

Being content with the job is a far cry from “greatest job in sports” which were your words.
Wow. That felt malicious. I can understand not thinking we’ll be very good this year, but how can anyone suggest it’s definitely not going to work over the next 2-3 years?The contenders, the trendy picks and the high-scoring teams: Ranking all 133 FBS teams into tiers for 2023

The biggest gaps I see between TCU fans and Colorado fans.
TCU fans
1. Coaching- Prime and his staff might as well be amateur hour at the Apollo. Don't know what you gonna get. Whereas Sonny who recently won NCOY is goated to them. While I don't have any issues with them feeling that way about Dykes, agree or not, he's been elite for them so far. But Prime been special at JSU and he's changed the culture at CU. While I'll give Dykes the clear edge, CU staff is better than TCU who just lost an offensive guru in Garrett Riley. The rest of their coaches are meh and while Briles is productive, he's not exactly great at his job.
2. 2 - Sanders has improved to them this week compared to previous weeks where he was ass to them but now he's just a mid QB from the SWAC. They really have no ****ing clue.
3. Trenches - TCU fans really think they got the 90s Cowboys in the trenches. In reality, they have a good OL. Two proven players who their coaches think will be studs this year. A underrated transfer from JSU in Willis Patrick who I wanted at CU. Their coaches feel they are 8 deep. 5 others not mention being decent at worse. That's a really deep OL compared to the rest of the nation. They are also the largest OL in the nation.
CU probably has the best draft prospect potentially in Tank. Van Wells has NFL upside. Savion is like Josh Newton was for them last year. Productive G5 guy who could make a major jump. Obviously Wiley, Beebe, and Bailey are just decent players with a mean streak and high Football IQ. Not gonna make people scared but they aren't scrubs. They are just as productive as the guys TCU expects to play on the OL. CU as the tallest starting tackles averaging 6'8.5. This is not a bad line. They may have some athletic issues with the guards but they have a lot of experience and football IQ to make up for it.
Defensively, Damonic might as well be Suh to these fools when he's like a poor man's Bear Alexander. A less talent flash guy with upside. Whereas, who's Cokes. Who's Payne. Who's Bishop Thomas. Who's Domminick and many of these defensive players were also recruited by TCU but they couldn't land them. I bet if Cokes was on TCU, they wouldn't stop raving about him. They just don't know. That's the biggest thing. Are CU trenches great, no. Is it going to be in the top 10 at the end of the season, unlikely. But it's not terrible. It's not much worse than TCU offensively and defensively, they are better. Size don't equal ability.
4. We know how nasty Antonio is.
We know how nasty Xavier is
We know how nasty Jimmy is.
We know how nasty Travis is.
These are all studs or potential studs.
To TCU, these are just okay WRs. What we know, they don't and the stats aren't elite for any of the 4 which I will give to TCU.
We also know Gaines, Dawson, Cooper, and Hopkins can really play and Gaines was highly productive at JSU. We know Ellis and Mathis got game too.
This is where we differ. This isn't just our best room, but this room has four NFL day 1 or 2 WRs within the next two draft classes. They just don't know.
5. Depth - TCU has more depth. That's a fact. Their coaches believe their depth is 2.5 deep when last year it was 2 to 1.5 depending on the position. This year's CU are 2.5 to 1 depending on the position. Obviously the gap between our tackles to our backups is massive. But safeties, WRs, RBs, and ST is stacked. Depth could be a major issue for CU if injuries happen but for now, they good

It seems that while people really really enjoy CP, there are just as much that don’t enjoy Prime. The writers and analysts seem to be staying firmly planted in the skeptic/naysayer (kiddie) pool. Regardless of video coverage since the Prime era began, and the videos of the 2021 and 2022 Buffs rosters and staff.
The closer the season gets, the more outright nasty they are getting. They just need to shut the **** up. Don’t have anything more to say than “they were 1-11 last year” (so…that team and staff was blown up last winter and spring) “the transfer-ins are this or that and not competitive in the PAC12” (says who, you - “dip**** pen-pushing number cruncher”?). “The Buffs have nooo depth…”
Let the kids play and reserve your “expert” opinions for your dog, if they even like you at this point…

But that doesn't generate them clicks.
Saying that cu will be bad right now generates them more clicks than saying cu will be good. If(hopefully when) cu starts putting 1s in the W column, the writers will change their tune.

They're hedging their bets with Prime. At first glance, this is a more thorough, honest look at what he's done here.

WTF?
Smart!
No reason to give away free info to the enemy when you don't have to. After the first game it won't matter much anymore.
The term "Best or Greatest Job in Sports" comes from years of football commentating... Just a topic for discussion and debate, I think I am not winning you over.

3 Reasons why being a backup QB is the best job in the NFL
For most NFL teams, every waking moment is spent hoping and praying that their franchise-level quarterback avoids hitting the sidelines for a protracted amount of time.

I mean, that's what all of the season predictions are based on, soooo....

against all my better judgement I'm getting optimistic for a win this game...
I think there are a lot of people rooting for Prime to fail for a lot of reasons. Some of those reasons are pretty ugly.The contenders, the trendy picks and the high-scoring teams: Ranking all 133 FBS teams into tiers for 2023

It’s clickbait because making a ton of money without having to put your body at risk by actually playing sounds like a great job to couch jockeys who read this stuff. If every backup QB in the league would rather be a starter (as I suspect they do), then it cannot be the “greatest job in sports”.
Our deepest rooms:
1. RB - five deep including a national record for this season 3 Doak Walker watch list RBs. No other school has more than 2.
2. WR - three deep. Nine legit players. 2 very talented true freshman. 5 experienced WRs. 2 other WR who are ready to play and are good right now. Both WR cores are 9 deep but CU feels they have 4 studs. TCU doesn't believe they have a stud this year the position.
3. Safeties - 3 deep. 6 good safeties.
4. Edge - 2.5 deep. 5 good players.
5. QB - 1 deep. 1 stud.
6. Star - two deep. Two good stars.
7. DL - 1.5 deep. 3 projected good players.
8. Tackles - 1 deep. 2 good players, one that's a potential stud.
9. Center - 1 deep. 1 good player
10. TE and Guards - five decent players. No projected studs but maybe someone raises under the spotlight.
Special teams is loaded. Stud punter, good kickers, good place holders, good returners who could be studs, good unit overall which could be great.
We got some depth, we would easily be 6-6 in the SEC but we can win with our schedule where other teams we play also have depth issues too. TCU might be the deepest team we play all year but studs matter. That's the difference.

Yeah, failed athletes in the press box. I'll bet you Romo and Aikman don't claim the 2nd string QB is the best job in sports.

Better yet, Ask Brady if he would rather have been his backup. I would think not.
Why is this discussion still happening?
Because there are multiple obtuse time-killing convers going on while we wait for Saturday?
And I’m guilty of it too….
