Well Nostradamus, how long is he the starting QB?
Somehow, someway, CU football does everything wrong at all junctures. It’s a remarkable case study.
It was mostly tongue in cheek, but I think most fans didn't give him a chance at all which was not the case.
There was a recent poster on 247 who is friends with players on the team that mentioned Noyer was leading the battle along with someone else mentioning they didn't think Lytle had the leadership qualities needed when they were helping in the AD. Last week Adam mentioned he thought it would be Lytle and his last video he was non-committal (so something changed there with his prediction). There is also the connection with Langsdorf. I also think they have kept this completely quiet because the optics with the fan base will not be good.
A lot of this could mean nothing, but you start putting the pieces together it tells me Noyer has a great chance of starting.
A liver transplant
More evidence this staff is totally incompetent if true. You do not make Noyer the starter when the true Frosh does not lose a year of eligibility if he plays. What a total dumpster fire. The program is going to be set back to per MM levels. Untucking real
This is maybe the more important question.
There are some coaches who believe it is easier with a freshman QB to start somebody else then start working them in. Instead of the pressure of a starter that lets them get the heroes welcome and if they aren't effective they can easily pull them out and give them some more time to prep before trying again.
I don't agree with this if you have an outstanding talent but it isn't like we stole Lewis from Alabama or Ohio State. He's intriguing but if he were the kind of talent expected to be a day one starter he would have had a lot more schools after him
Also, I'm not sure why Franke didn't play more.
It does not matter if he is ready. This year does not count. He gets a mulligan and actual playing experience. It is the perfect moment for him to get these games under his belt, go into the spring, and have a better year next season.
I was joking too. I just hoped you would talk everyone off the ledge.
I think we’ll see all 3 QBs this year
Or maybe Lytle just isn't that good either.
If he isn't ready I don't have a problem with him not taking the first snap.
I will be upset though if we see a repetition of what we have seen in recent years with first Sefo then Montez getting virtually every meaningful (and even non-meaningful) snap the entire season.
Part of the problem now is that nobody has seen much of Lytle or Noyer in game situations because they never got in.
We don't have the OOC games this year that should provide the opportunity to get Lewis feet wet but nothing in practice can simulate getting a real snap against a live opponent.
Even if he isn't ready to start I would favor them having a package for him and giving him at least one possession per game.
Hopefully by the end of the season he is getting significant experience in games when it matters.

Come on, manhattan. What honestly did you expect? We had a late February coaching change thanks to Mel Tucker being a dishonest piece of **** (Give him this-he'll never have to work another day in his life after MSU axes his ass in 2-3 years) and a global pandemic that shut the country down for 6 weeks.
I'm all for incomplete or we'll see what happens on this staff.......but an F? Lol get out of here. Adam said this on 247-We've got 16 closed practices and recruiting during a pandemic to judge this staff on.
Can we all chill the **** out with this kind of talk until we see Dorrell's Buffs go up against another team?

Meh. February coaching change + Covid-19 has me willing to be patient for now with this staff.
Between naming Noyer the starter and the election results in another week, it’ll for sure be a lot of entertainment online
Oh god I didn't even think about the two events happening in such a small time window....

Make Noyer Great Again
I expect the AD not to be a terrible negotiator, horrible boss, and impotent administrator. You must’ve been under a rock when we learned that we were on the one yard line with two of the hottest OCs in the NFL and College but fouled it up because of Rick Freaking George.
Now that we have our highest paid staff ever, I expect recruiting to be competitive. It’s not in the ballpark.
Now that we've all gotten how we feel about Noyer off our chest, did anyone actually listen to the podcast. No new information. The revelation about quarterbacks was that the battle was really down to Noyer/Lytle like we have been hearing.
I still have a gut feeling it's going to be Noyer (years of CU conditioning) but I don't think this is any inside info we didn't already have.

Regardless of the uniqueness of this season, anyone suggesting Lewis start even if he's not ready is crazy. You want to completely ruin a kids future? Throw him in and get him killed and destroy his confidence.

I like your "chill the **** out" comment, if for nothing but self-preservation during this pandemic. Instead of dealing with "What Ifs" adding doom and gloom, we just see what actually happens?? I am as much unnerved about Noyer-Lytle 1-2, as 2-1; but if that is what they have, then that is it. I just hope that Lewis or other QB's somehow get some reps and we break out of this QB funk. How CU has gone so many years without a #2 getting meaningful reps...?? Montez only had meaningful snaps due to Sefo's injuries. It really sucks to be 5-7 so many seasons-- you have to play who you think is the best guy to get that 6th win; but the downside is you don't win and no bowl game, then no extra practices or meaningful opportunities for the 2nd or 3rd string/QB next season... I sort of feel for KD, as he walked into this situation; it is definitely tough to have such inexperience at the QB position. Only time will tell if Landsdorf is another one and done...

You are 100% correct... Given CU's offensive line is ranked #12, of 12 teams in the PAC-12, you do not want to burn Lewis by either having him run for his life or he gets injured early, and his future is done...

I definitely don't think our O-line is anywhere near last in conference.
Always BUFF
I post stupid ****
I don't believe the young man is that fragile mentally or physically, to your point misuse by the coaching staff is more of a concern. Should he start? I don't know because I haven't seen him practice.

I tend to agree and I took that ranking with grain of salt. I think given the number of upper classmen they will be better than last, but I'm not sure that they are good enough to protect an inexperienced QB, especially a True-Frosh.
