Staub made three plays that gives me hope that he could be someone special. The pass to Trackhawk for a TD. The PI to Joseph Williams and the run for 1st down which was tough and decisive. All were playmaking plays which I didn't see from Staub at all in his first year. People ask what is the biggest jump Shedeur made from his freshman year to Junior year. It was his off platform plays where he had to make a play that might not be there based on the playcall and where we are with the timing of the offense. That's where Shedeur became special and that's when he hopped to Mel Kiper and guys BB. Staub showed 3 plays where he was a playmaker. Even as a freshman, we saw his prestine footwork speed which gathered offers and his pocket awareness and pocket presence.
The playmaking is what we didn't see. It's not just the footwork speed, footwork technique, size, and number that gives you shades of Joe Montana. His arm isn't overwhelming as well. He's clearly the least talented of the bunch. Doesn't have the insane accuracy of Shedeur. But even as a freshman, you saw a feel for the game that was like, he's definitely a lesser talented freshman Shedeur but he has somethings even freshman Shedeur didn't have.
He sat for another year. He could have barely improved but based on his game against Delaware, I saw significant improvement. I think Staub might have a NFL future. His potential as a WCO QB maybe just as amazing long term as Shedeur's in that scheme given time to sit for a couple years and learn.
We might have fallen into a future NFL superstar. The way I saw Sincere Brown look at him as well as Yaya and our other OLs who were in the 2nd and 3rd unit. They truly believed this guy is special. They didn't look at him as the help. They legit looked at him as the best QB. They believed. Those 3 plays was more impressive than the audible plays for Brown even though that was impressive too. These 3 plays are the ones no one can stop.
I want to see the OL better in run blocking when Salter isn't the QB. Salt threat of his legs puts fear into the defense. Juju and Staub simply don't. You can see a difference with Staub at QB. The confidence of the WRs if they aren't the 1st option. They are running routes hard like 2 is back. It wasn't the same feeling.
Staub might got something. Still in the air with it. You know, I love a lot of QBs but consistency is something most of them struggle with. This entire class outside of Beck has struggled so far this year. Eyes on Miller Moss, Staub, and Pribula, almost committed to Prime at Jackson Diego Pavia, former CU QB Brandon Lewis, Maivia, Longeran, Aguilar, and Evan Simon are guys are am really watching right now. Just about everyone else been way too inconsistent this year. Mensah shined week 1 but struggled against Illinois man dominate coverage.
