Fine, a "homeless man's Jay Cutler." But he can throw it farther and harder than anyone else we have off his back foot.
The fact that he can actually throw a pass more than 15 yards with some velocity may help open up the offense. Webb posed no real threat of throwing the ball over the top of the defense. Even though we lack speed on the outside without PRich we have enough talent to hit a few over the top. Forcing the safeties and LBs back a few yards could make a significant difference in the running game and in opening up the shorter routes.
That is good, draw on your biggest resources....
Don't forget about no even offering Klein.
No inside info here, but I am getting the sense that the coaches have convinced themselves they can win this week with our journeyman QB and do not want to rock the boat and potentially have turnovers with Hirschman. Look for Webb to start and Hirschman only to come in if he struggles badly.

Rocking the boat isn't an issue when the water is already hitting the stacks. Another debacle coming.
Stanford still has a load of talent on defense. Webb can't throw intermediate or long well enough to force them to respect that element of the game so the line is going to be stacked up. Get ready for another frustrating day for the Buffs offense.
Totally agree. Just have a feeling our coaches do not and Webb starts.

Embree, I may have to call you an idiot. I'm sort of running out of patience.

Frankly, we have to assume that Wood and Hirschman are out on the practice field lighting their own farts on fire while tripping over each other's dicks every day. We know what we have with Webb, and that is not much. If they can't beat him out, they are either entirely inept, or the coaches are blind fools.

Hahaha.....ever seen anyone light a fart?
Can people stop with this assumption that Klien was some highly recruited player and that they knew he'd be this good or even close to how good he is? KSjU was his only offer and he can't throw the ball. He'd probably be a TE here anyway or not even see the field.

I am absolutely disgusted that Embree can't pull the plug on Webb. I don't care what Wood and Hirsh do in practice or even what they look like on film after getting a handful of snaps i games that were already out of control.
Webb absolutely sucks-he proved that at Kansas and is reinforcing it here. Why in the hell can't Embree see the need to change QBs enough to actually do it.
I have lost respect for him this season because despite getting us pumped with the goal of a bowl game this season and then just laying a big *****ing egg the only change he made the whole season was throw a few spread plays in and allow EB to go to field level.
He is not acting like someone on the hot seat-maybe he knows he is not, but any good coach would have made major changes including addressing failures in the coaching staff, making major (not cosmetic) changes to the offense and switching QBs.
I am really just shocked right now.

Bingo!! What coach wouldn't want to come here? The pitch to a top coach would sound like, "There is no pressure here. You only have to win a few games every year for the next five years. We don't pay as much as Alabama but this will be the easiest paycheck you've ever earned."
I'm almost rooting for Webb to get hurt at this point(It's messed up but the only way anyone else will see the field. IMO he isn't a true CU recruit, he's a Benedict Jayhawk Arnold IMO).

He can't throw the ball?
Have you checked his stats this year?
Not saying he would be anything at CU, nor that he has any kind of NFL future, but the kid has come a long way and is really playing well this year.
He's come a long way yea but he's still not a very good passer. Very tough runner. And out of high school he was not really a passer
Given the complexities of the prostyle, you can't just switch because the starting QB consumes virtually all of the practice reps in the futile quest of mastering a hypercomplicated O. The backup sprobably truly don't have a grip on the O. But I agree, Embo stubbornly holds on, just like GB and JK...another prostyle CFB attempt that met with only moderate success. Moderate success would be heaven right now. I am fully prepared for another butt kicking of the Buffs tomorrow.

My brother did that when I was a teen.....until he caught is ass crack hairs on fire.
I guess that is one way to trim down there.

Completes 71% of his passes.
#2 QB rating in all of FBS.
Averages almost 10 yards per pass attempt.
12 TD's. 2 INT's. 0 INT's in conference play.
Thank goodness he's got 16 rushing TD's to pad his stats!
I wish I got this feeling about all the games against the spread in my weekly pick'em. I might actually be competitive!
