Is the massive turnover we're seeing ok? Or why Reddit CFB fans are clueless

Fantastic commentary from Louis.
The ripple affect from this “experiment” is going to be fascinating to see play out. One aspect that just occurred to me while watching that interview, and representative of CP being 5 steps ahead of everyone else per usual, is that Prime is calling out the football world by saying “I am doing this in lily white Boulder. A place that has cold weather and snow. They were 1-11 last year and I have never coached at this level. Tell me again why an AA coach can’t succeed in (name college or NFL town).” It’s beautiful because, while Prime is one of one, he/it directly attacks almost every excuse made.
That’s a pretty idiotic and surface level assessment
Because it takes one statistical model and treats it like gospel.
Yes. While our front six haven’t been good, is there really any doubt they are better than last year, especially individual talent? OL is the only position I might say this could be true for, but even then I believe at least Savion Washington is a better player than what we had at RT last year.

Travis Hunter being out is no small feat. Especially on a team that's suppose to win due to its offense.

I don't know how they can say the defense isn't massively better this year. I watched the games. Teams didn't even take CU seriously last year. CU has a tough schedule this year. There are no minnows on their schedule

Shedeur isn't just a very good QB. He has a top 10 grade via PFF and he's the only QB who's in the 90s for PFF that has dropback 80% or more in his offense in the nation.

Shedeur is a generational QB
Laziness makes it easy to say those things. Looking at rosters and stats can tell you part of the story, but until they dig into the reality deeper, they’ll continue their lazy takes and their told you so narratives after losses.
RGIII has been going in on Kannell the past few weeks and its been great

2022 - 70 or higher players on D - None
60 Or higher in the top 25 of snaps - 3 (Woods, Main, and Grant)
2023 - 70 or higher players on D - 7
60 Or higher in the top 25 of snaps - 11
Come on man, we need to stop listening to idiots.
USC defense has 11 70 or higher players and 11 in the 60s in the top 25 of snaps.
CU and USC defense got some talent.
Compare this to CU last year, this CU would beat them by 50
BC was so much better before he moved to ESPN
What overreactions:
Oline needs to be bigger and more talented (everyone knew this last year and going into this season)
Dline needs to be bigger and more talented (everyone knew this last year and going into this season)
There are talented playmakers now. Just need the Oline to push, opening up running lanes and give the QB time to throw. Imagine what Shedeur's stat line would look like with Georgia or Alabama's front line. This is still a bowl team, but there will be gaps that are exposed when facing teams with loaded rosters.
That's the problem with the Screamin' A Smith age of reporting - first they are not true reporters, they are shock jocks. They react and overreact for clicks and likes. CU has shown improvement under CP. The outside noise is just that, noise. 2026 National Champions you can book it

shame we are wasting generational talent with crappy line play and no supportive run game.Shedeur isn't just a very good QB. He has a top 10 grade via PFF and he's the only QB who's in the 90s for PFF that has dropback 80% or more in his offense in the nation.

College goes by fast, need to figure out something quick.
I have heard that it’s harder to get a strong O and D line put together in the same timeline that you can get strong “skill positions”. Is that just because the line has to gel with one another more than the skill spots or are there other factors?
And yet @FlaBuff doesn't really seem that remarkable.

Well sure, not NOW! I’m 35 years old!
He good at generating sacks Ill say that. This isnt FCS. If he doesnt learn to sense pressure and avoid it hes not gonna do anything special here or in the NFL because everyone will design their defense to rattle him. A generational QB would know that. He‘s never going to have a good OL while he is here so he better figure it out. Not gonna lie that has a great arm and great passing vision. He also misses chances to scramble for yardage.Shedeur isn't just a very good QB.

I remark you.
So more rare talent and the need to “gel” as a line. Ok
Thanks Mrs. Shrout. We'll take your "insights" into consideration.
Just like that liability playing QB for the Bengals. So bad he couldn't start for tOSU and Nebraska didn't even want him as a transfer.
Someone needs to

He's the best QB CU has seen in a longgggg time. I dream about what he'd be doing if he had a running game to support him. I don't see why pointing out his liability of not throwing the ball away, and worse yet losing big yardage is not an allowable subject on here. Yes the O-line isn't helping, but he has shown in all 4 games it's a problem.
I also place the blame of this on our OC for not designing plays to mitigate this. He has also shown in all 4 games it's a problem.
I think it is a legit criticism. We know Shedeur is a Brady fan. One of the things that was so frustrating about playing Brady was he would get the ball out of his hands so quick. I think it's one of the main reasons he lasted until he was in his forties. Once he got to Tampa Bay he was making two reads and if it wasn't there he was throwing out of bounds, and he was so ahead of the defense he almost always threw on his first read.
He only has four games of experience in the Sean Lewis offense, I expect he will continue to improve.
