I died on the Noyer hill last year, nothing has changed my mind. It's one thing to have a player like rice leave on his own, but to run off a player that is better than what you have is negligible.

QB choice?

Doesn’t sound negligible to me.
Ha zigged when I should have zagged. Idiot singing off.
Noyer didn’t make it a half at Oregon State. Thinking that last year would have been substantively better with him is laughable
He forced a pass with 8 seconds left in the half. Who cares?
Let’s face it our o-line is not good enough to have a pure pocket passer. He throws a damn good ball
Blew out his knees but was able to reunite with an old flame.
Boo!
Maybe a sing off would be a great way to choose our next coach.
I was gonna say fragged by his co-workers
Changing QBs doesnt fix this team. Keep in mind that TCU didnt have film of Shrout and didnt prep for him. His advantage will probably be short lived but maybe gives us one win somewhere
gets Karl fired quicker
The short Mtn post.
Yup, ruin another QB so the fans can "see what we have "
Unless he is absolutely ready to play keep McCown on the bench.
And no surprise he isn't ready.

No reason he can't play against AFA in the 4th when CU is down 28.

They wont ruin him. He is a QB, from a family of QBs.
How do we know he is not ready? Because this staff says so?

Maybe he is ready, but the staff knows that if he goes out and plays it gets him in the transfer portal that much faster.They wont ruin him. He is a QB, from a family of QBs.

I think you're right. We need to see McCown at some point this year. I'd wait and do it at home though. Air Force should have a big crowd Saturday if for no other reason than we haven't been down there in 50 years in football. We're going to get run off the field in Minneapolis. Start Shrout the next two weeks, but make McCown his backup. If he plays poorly, go to McCown against UCLA. He can debut at home, which makes more sense with a kid like this.

Maybe, but the QBs in the room know who the best is, if he feels he should be playing he will be gone anyway. Damned if you do, damned if you don't
I think you're right. With the current redshirt rules, they can get him on the field running the offense once games aren't in doubt. Everything that can be done to give him a good shot at winning the job in 2023 should be done.
I'd start JT Shrout and play Lewis if JT has to miss a play or series or whatever, then use McCown as the mop up duty guy.

After 13 games as the sample size for Lewis, there is no reasonable explanation not to give Shrout the opportunity to start.
What I will be watching for is to see how long does KD wait to put in Lewis. Pretty confident regardless who starts AF will pull away due to CU's inept offense. Wonder how many throws into traffic it takes for KD to pull Shrout and put Lewis back in.
RE: McCown, no need to send him out there this early. Send him out there at the end of the season after he has practiced this system for 1/2 a season which gives him a chance of success and still preserves his RS year.

Both are flawed players, each with their strengths, I could see using Lewis situationally with JT taking most of the snaps.
it is a no-win situation for both qbs. in every sense, sadly.
shrout looks like (altho the body of evidence is still small) he will come out and take chances. lewis not so much.
if shrout comes out and throws 3 picks in the first half (which is not out of the realm of possibility) then what do they do?
old adage: if you have a qb competition, it means you don't have a starting qb.

My issue with the situational usage of Lewis is that it would be for wildcat sets. He's really poor at reading & recognizing a defense in the run game - getting out of plays the defense is stacked to stop, reading the End to choose whether to hand off or pull it on zone read, recognizing blitzes to hit a receiver on a hot read. Since he can't do those things, I don't know what the situation is when I'd pull Shrout to put him in.
the kd playbook suggests that lewis will play if we get down by a bunch due perhaps to qb turnovers and the staff is trying to shorten the game and has given up on winning the game.
