Maybe it's not a pretty serious injury?
Fine. Do not need to hear about that injury again.
I'm waiting for Syko to post his "that was our last win" thread; until then, I'm going to see the bright side. We emptied the bench today, the offense started hot, and the defense was very good considering who was sitting out. I'm wondering if we had punched it in on those two drives where we turned it over inside the 10, and the final score had been 62-0, if people would be more appeased. On to Oregon.
@duff based on your response to Sefo today it would seem you believe there is a very real, clear, and beneficial solution that is being overlooked. Would you care to share with the rest of us the JUCO or Grad that you have eyes on who will come in next year and lead us?
It's more so that Mac refuses to leave the position open for competition. Apsay and Gerhke should be getting more game snaps. It shouldn't have been 1/2 way thru the 3rd when that happened. They should have way more against UMASS as well. Coaches should also be bringing in a JUCO or transfer to compete for the starting job, not just proclaiming it Sefos.
I think the problem is that there is no real, clear and beneficial solution. At least not right now.
In fairness to Duff, he has been consistent. He badly wanted a JUCO quarterback signed for spring practices and made no secret of it. I assume that he'll be looking at the Vernon Adams, Greyson Lambert & Everett Golson types after this season.
What gives Gherke and/or Apsay the right to get more game reps? Sefo is clearly head and shoulders above both of them. There is no open competition because Sefo has shut it down. You want to talk about bring in a David Fales type JUCO QB, fine. But stop bringing Apsay and Gherke into the conversation.
I get that, but the three players you mentioned signed with Oregon, Georgia, and FSU. My question was who is the transfer or JUCO who is coming in here and giving us superior play to a four year starter?
Sefo needed to play most of the UMass game and into the second half today? Why? Not even advocating an open competition, but doesn't it seem prudent to get backups some quality snaps when the head coach admits the QB has a shoulder issue?
I don't even think the coaches are thinking about it. At all. That concerns me.
Well, according to AB, Sefo is average to below average, at best, and needs all the reps he can get right?
I agree and I believe this is because Sefo will have run the offense for 4 years in 2016, not prolifically, but well enough. Who is the JUCO or Grad transfer that is going to come to Boulder that will be better? You don't even seem to have a wish list but want to blame the coaches for trotting Sefo out there every Saturday. I don't think that is really fair to Sefo or this staff.
My thought is keep trying to recruit the best QBs we can and in 2017 we see what Montez can do in a true zone read offense. But we don't leave ourselves with an empty cupboard at QB again.
Sigh. Do you not see an issue with the backups have attempted 10 total passes this season? The opportunity was there to get them reps and to get Sefo some needed rest? WTF?
I am quite sure the coaches think this strategy is sound.
But it should scare the **** out of everyone.
So, per usual, you're dodging the question he asked.
No, I don't care at all if Apsay or Gherke would have gotten 3-4 more passing reps in a game situation. You are completely blowing the value of this out of proportion.
Again...the alternative? You seem content to be snarky but unwilling or unable to make suggestions. After a 48-0 win, BTW.
I'm sorry, I have no JUCO or transfer QBs to talk about. That makes this discussion invalid on my end. You win.
I could look up JUCO QBs for the rest of the weekend, but what's the point? You guys do not see a problem. If I suddenly posted a bunch of prospects, would that change your outlook? Doubtful.
This thread isn't super fun.
Probably not because I do not trust your scouting or talent evaluating ability more than Lindgren or MM. The issue is that it's all well and good to bitch about QB play in a private forum, but to be unable to suggest alternative options makes it just another thread to rip on the deficiencies of the team... After a 48-0 win, nonetheless
I ask a serious question here: what has Lindgren done to earn so much deference in QB evaluation? (Keep in mind he did not recruit Fales)
And let's be real, the issue is you and I are polar opposites on a lot of things. Nothing more.
My serious answer would be that he has been around the game long enough and scouted enough talent to know what is good and what is bad. His (in)ability to attract some of the better options to CU is a separate discussion.
