Staub admitted in the presser that he told Sincere to run a go and he then made that throw.
That is an audible and not even Shurmur

Shurmur calls the plays that each guy likes or can run, so we have no actual clear plan

Just run with Staub, develop Juju, and bench Salter

As I’ve said before, SS2 called 75% of the plays last year. He would frequently change the calls in the huddle. Shurmur needs to go. Yesterday.

I think the running game is 100% on Shurmur. Not so sure it's Shurmur in the passing game. Aside from the 20 WR screens, it was clear today that Staub can see a WR down field. Salter Cannot and JuJu is 17 and had two meaningful series.

Staub changed the call/route for Brown. Like SS2 did all
Last year. Play success has little to do with Shurmur.

Let’s be clear on something. Staub being in the program for 3 years helped him immensely. He got the same sh!t fvkk bulljunk garbage calls the other QBs got. However, being comfortable enough in the system and his role as simply QB3 allowed him to say fvkk it and change up the calls ala SS2. That’s where his success came today. Not in Shurmur’s scheme, but in his confidence to know what was available to him beyond that base scheme. Congrats to him for seeing things our OC didn’t.

He saw it, just didn't give a ****.

My (completely baseless) guess: Prime planned earlier this week to have Juju play a couple series today. Salter wasn’t good.

Juju came in for his somewhat pre-planned drives and showed some raw talent but not enough to continue playing in a (at the time) close game. He threw Staub in at the end of the first half to light a fire under Salter’s ass. Staub engineered a TD drive in 40 seconds, forcing Prime’s hand to have him start the second half.

Staub had another great drive to start the second half and he’s now the starter. Juju is the backup and will get some looks when possible to develop.

Salter led the team to 10 points on two drives and was pulled for Juju the next two series. Dink and dunk, cowardly playcalling, sure, but they clearly had a plan to do 2 series for Salter and 2 for Juju, and now I’m thinking 2 for Staub was always in the plan. Then Staub scored on his first two drives and they stuck with him.

This game was an open try out for QB1, IMO, and Staub won.

Data shows that bringing 5 is more likely to result in an explosive play against you than 4 or 6. It needs to die.

I believe you, I’d just be curious to see the data you’re looking at it. Whether it’s an article or whatever it may be. It does make sense though. Not enough pressure to be a guaranteed hurry, but still leaving guys on islands.
 
It was going to be 2+2+2 no matter what, so it was Staub's time. The fact that he changed the play and directed the WR was brilliant, but it says one glaring thing = Shurmur is not even remotely in charge of or has a grip on the offense. It is not 7 on 7 sandlot league out there. No specific plan or control of how we operate. Yes, there may be specific plays that work better for each QB, but goddamn there has to be a CORE offensive scheme. I think if Leftwich were available he would be the OC right now, but he is spending time watching his son play for North Carolina, I think, so he is not available.

Staub watching Shedeur and learning to change or adapt Shurmur's play calls is like the Kobayashi Maru cheat code that neither Salter or Juju had. Juju can make all the throws and the majority of the WR's love him the most and are here to play with him in 2026 and 2027, so if he left, they would leave. It is obvious that Shurmur cannot continue as the OC next year either in order to help things move forward

Crazy crazy crazy thought everyone . . . . . . . Hire Eric Bienemy to be the OC moving forward :oops::oops::oops:o_Oo_Oo_O

I’ll say this much, the staff is precariously close to losing the lockerroom on the offensive side right now. Very close.

Is it because of the factions?
Salter has guys that like him, Juju has the young guns, and Staub likely has the depth guys
No doubt they need to bring it back together

I just made it up. You are, of course, right to ask for a source.

Brett Kollman had stats in a video of his recently and I don't even remember what they were but I'm running with it.

Seriously tho, I think it was from the '23 or '24 NFL seasons. And also it was just explosive play rate, it didn't show overall success rates. But I think in this era where we also have data that shows having 3-4 more "explosives" than your opponent is as great a correlation to winning as being + in turnovers, it has weight.

Don't give up explosives and those guys on the other side are going to screw something up eventually.

I think they expected more. Which is another problem because they should be able to scout and avoid recruiting ****ty players.

He won a lot of games and had success as a dual threat qb at Liberty. There were multiple power conference schools recruiting him out of the portal.

Everyone expected that his Liberty game would translate in the P4 level. So far, at least for CU it hasn't. He hasn't been accurate enough throwing the ball, when he tries to scramble or run he gets caught, and worst his decision making has not been up to the task.

Today against a lower level BCS team (recent FCS) he led two scoring drives but didn't look good doing it. Ideally you don't waste time and money on guys who can't play for you but it isn't that easy. Look at the resources NFL teams put into evaluation of talent and yet we see every year some high draft choices who hang around a couple years and then end up out of the league without accomplishing much.
