I am trying to be patient with Sefo
- Thread starter Duff Man
- Start date
Not the worst idea. I am really trying to figure out if it Sefo or the way he is being coached on 3rd and medium or less. He still seems to treat many downs and distances the same. That second fumble was a great example. Is quick release not being stressed enough?
He got caught holding the ball too long a few times, which has not been the problem so far. Disappointing.
That's why I think he should work with someone, situational football. You need that at qb, you're the man. Know when it's ok to check it down, progressions, all that stuff.

Like Sefo said...he's not making the same mistakes. I guess we getta watch Wack-a-Mole with his mistakes this year.
If we're counting on Sefo's development, it is absolutely critical that Spruce is back next year. It is hard for me to see Sefo progressing much without Spruce as part of the receiving corps.
When I consider whether Sefo will be a "top third" QB next year, the question I ask is whether there are three or fewer returning or incoming Pac-12 QBs we would take over Sefo. Right now, I'd trade Sefo for Solomon, Bercovici and whoever UCLA or USC throws out next year. Maybe even Wilson at Utah (0 picks this year). And that is just the Pac-12 South.

You have to remember that Sefo does a llot of things well and is the reason that CU is in some of these games. You can focus on the mistakes but another QB may not have CU in the game to begin with. We have to hope that Sefo makes a big leap as a QB and eliminates his mistakes next year.
Gehrke is not the and Apsay will be a Frosh with not experience prone to mistakes.

Gehrke has a lot more zip on the ball. Probably cost us a td, the receiver was so startled.

I wish your mom had an abortion.
You, Tini, and Slider need to just stop. It is getting really dumb and old.

How do you know I wasn't talking about OMFGasm?
Can we start handing out time-outs to the responders?
Gehrke looked completely shell shocked to me, so hard to see what we have here. I'm guessing its probably not any better than Sefo. We are what we are at the QB position. For as many things as Sefo does right, he makes a mistake to cover it up. Very frustrating as I really want him to succeed.
If Sefo can at least cut half of these mental mistakes down next year, we could be in business. If not, then I guess we better hope Apsay is ready to go.

Impossible, it's all Sefo's fault
I don't think anyone believes all four were Sefo's fault. No one is even saying we are losing solely because of Sefo. But let's say two were Sefo's fault last night. How many road games are you going to win -2 in turnovers?
Sefo has no situational awareness and holds on to the ball too long. He fails to recognize blitzes too. He doesn't step into the pocket, but rolls out. Half of his sacks are on him.
The other are because someone failed their assignment and let them through completely untouched.

Yep. These are things that Sefo can work on in the offseason. If he and the team can limit themselves to half of these next year, you'll see a major step forward.
Are you talking about sacks?
Recognizing blitzes, stepping up into the pocket, which in turn would limit the turnovers we are seeing.
He continues to stare down guys too. His mechanics are a bit awkward, but are doable.
That's a lot of work to do in one offseason I feel.
This is all I'm going to say about Sefo this week:
Football is a team game. You can't really blame one guy for most losses, even a QB. But a pattern is a pattern, and we keep losing winnable games because he makes key mistake and is a turnover machine.
I understand he is 19, but he has a complete season's plus worth of starting experience under his belt. He will be able to learn as he gets older and even more experienced, and perhaps the poor reads will be remedied, but he has started enough games that the getting flustered and making mental errors should be starting to subside. It seems to me it's getting worse.
I hope that it's an open competition in the spring.

I hate a QB who throws Ints that lead to the other team scoring points. Damn, he throw for a lot of yards last week but those 2 picks sucked. Yeah, that peyton manning sucks. Time for the back up, manning has alreay throw 2 that have led to points against da Raiders. Get the bum out!!! j/k
Gerkhe is not the answer. We DON"T have anyone else on our team to play QB. The only way Sefo gets better is that he continues to play until we can recruit the next Koy Detmer if and when alias Koy DECIDES he wants to play for CU.

Sefo has thrown the ball 453 times this year. That's the issue.
But here are some stats that I find interesting.
Solomon for Zona, a freakign freshman: 402 attempts, 2816 yards, 25 TD, 5 Int
Sefo: 453 attempts, 2842 yards, 26 TD, 14 Int.
I like RR's system. I think Solomon is throwing to receivers who are open because opposing defenses have to respect Solomon's running game. It's like 12 guys on the field. It's the system, not the player. RR never has a problem finding guys to do this.
