easy fix-- rev share with the players -- schools have no one to blame but themselves for diversion of funds-- fairness sucks for them.

Do he and Wilson share the same social media intern?
He’s long term planning.
Step 1: get hurt jumping around like jackass
Step 2: start hiring search
Step 3: get surgery and painpills
Step 4: predictably **** up hire
Step 5: have lapdogs blame painpills for **** up
Step 6: profit
Lewis is transferring.
I thought the coach mentioning the other 2 QBs and saying we're in great shape, while totally ignoring Lewis, was a cheap and disrespectful shot on coaches' part.
There are a lot of Buffs who really bonded with Lewis, and this kind of brush-off has to seem low-class.

Don't you read ?
Sanford yesterday mentioned that he's been talking to Lewis about this for the last month.
Go watch the presser. This is just flat out nonsense. He spent a while talking about Lewis, far more than he needed to.
I didn’t think it was per se disrespectful, but I definitely think he wasn’t set up for success at Colorado by either OC.

I thought Lewis's skill set was comparable to Sefo's.
Doesn't have a cannon, but can make the college throws. Not a burner or jitterbug, but can extend some plays and get you some 1st downs & chunk plays with his legs. Doesn't have elite accuracy, but good enough to be successful in college with some work on mechanics (footwork & consistent delivery motion).
Seeing the field, pre snap reads, getting quickly through progressions, mechanics/footwork, and being decisive with the ball were the sum of the issues, imo. Those are things you'd think coaching could improve.
He has some moxie and is an absolute bull (iirc, he set a CU program freshman record on squats)
Lindgren tried to kill Sefo and Montez, but it was effective. I think Lewis would’ve thrived in an offense featuring heavy QB run game and fewer reads. Chev wanting his bastardized air raid and Sanford preferring pocket plus, Lewis was not going to success.
His talent level is G5. Slow release, average arm strength and mediocre speed. No ability to read a defense.
Of course, bad coaching exasperated his problems.
He has a very strong arm and is quite fast. Not super accurate, nor is he a prototypical pocket passer with a quick release. He was in the wrong scheme with poor protection. If the scheme were tailored to his strengths instead of imposing the system on the player, he would’ve been more successful. They just did not want to run him. In the games where we had higher % of designed QB runs, success rate was way higher.
It looked to me like he has all the physical tools. He just didn’t know where and when to throw the ball, and as a result, held on to it too long on many plays.
I agree that he could have been a serviceable P12 QB with better coaching and a more dual threat offense, but he was football slow. I would rate his accuracy better than his arm strength.
it will be interesting to see where he lands.
All flows back to the scheme mismatch. With Chev, Lewis had a bunch of rules he had to process before he would be able to run the ball. Add in the OL being a catastrophe, it was a recipe for disaster.
BLew could have been magical with the right coaching and the right scheme. Tucker ****ed him over hard by leaving, imo, because it led to the insanity (and inanity) of the Dorrell era.
As it is, if he can get into a P5 program that fits him and his strengths, and they take the time to let him grow, he can still have a couple of good years. Most likely though he goes G5 and does just fine.
I wish him all the best, what happened with him here was not his fault.

THIS x10000000. The kid did absolutely nothing wrong. He came to a school in good faith and with excitement and got screwed over by a group of incompetent idiots. Hope he finds a good landing place and finds his passion for the sport again.

To be fair, in 2021 we had him and drew carter at qb, so running the qb a lot was a risky move to say the least.
Turns out, there was no risk. Just the (then) worst offensive output in Colorado history… NBD
