Lewis is absolutely, unequivocally NOT a wildcat QB. What changes putting him in situationally? The defense knows he's going to run because of the situation AND the fact he can't throw for sh!t past 8 yards. 8 in the box with run blitz. Easy peasy.

QB choice?

Gary Barnett should Shut up. Shrout forced a pass with 8 seconds left in the half. We should want him to do that!
No, Barnett should shut up and go away.
LOL
Neither of these guys will do. Let’s see Lefty and live through growing pains.
I am rested and ready!

Assuming KD felt pressured to switch QBs, you should wonder how much it hurt the team as a whole to have him back off his beliefs.
“(Shrout) hasn’t proven anything to think that he’s the guy, so we have to continue to develop that position,” Dorrell said. “Maybe we need to look at some of these younger guys, too. Younger than our younger guys. It is what it is, but it’s a challenge right now.”

They will probably play McCown just enough to burn his redshirt. Also, shrout deserves at least another chance as he gives CU the best chance to win between him, Lewis and Carter. How many dropped passes were there in yesterday's game?
First game in two years, in a cold rain and his receivers are dropping passes all over and you want to turn the page and you think KD should move on to a true freshman.
…you are an idiot.
I don’t know what the redshirt rules are these days, but I would maximize his playtime with a few series here and there to get him live reps without being subjected to the wear and tear of starting or sustained play.
Why CU refuses to ever bring a QB on slowly with limited early PT is beyond me.
Appearances in four games are allowed without burning a redshirt. So Dorrell would most likely let him play in garbage time ( there will be plenty of that) for 5 games.
So we recruited a guy who were afraid to have play good teams? By then he’d have been in our S&C program for 5 or 6 months. If he’s going to be the man next season, at least get him reps this season.
Reps this season, absolutely. Putting an undersized kid in against the toughest portion of your schedule because you’ve done a s**tty job recruiting in front of him isn’t fair to McCown. You want your young qb to gain some valuable experience and some confidence in your offense, not to be a sacrificial lamb in a lost season. Design a script for him to play a couple series in the UCLA, Arizona, Cal stretch of games to give him a feel.
I’ll buy into that.

I would agree with this-only because I don't think there's a point to playing Lewis.
i think this football team could start the Lord Jesus Himself at qb and still not score TDs.
simply put, we knew this team was going to struggle after all the transfers out. and, again, please note that the vast majority of those transfers are contributing/starting at what should be peer programs.
we also knew that, no matter how good the talent that remained in the program might be it was both young and inexperienced.
we also knew that lewis' body of work last year did not suggest he was a savior at qb but we heard the staff tell us how improved he was. we had everyone's favorite player, the backup qb, just raring to break out and do things. we thought.
we also knew that this hc has a hard time making adjustments when and if anything disrupts his "plan."
we also knew that this schedule was not going to allow for a lot self inflicted wounds out of the gate.
we also knew that chris wilson was not a savant as a coordinator and the new oc had a spotty, at best, track record coming in.
we knew all of these things. yet, we still, as fans, had hope. a small tiny bit for some, an irrational heaping pile for others, but a little hope...
the failures with this program are systemic, overwhelming, and beyond the scope of a qb change to fix.
i fully expect kd will trot out the 3rd string qb at some point, trying to get the "spark" the offense needs. it won't be enough, of course.

Borrowed from someone, for the cutting edge football experts here:
5-21 for 51 yards against service academy. Have to think any of the QB’s in the QB room do that in their sleep.
1-13 on 3rd and 4th down
He was given the ball in great field position many times and couldn’t get it done.
I counted a few times he threw the ball in the hands of the D Backs.
But that early slide short with plenty of room the get the 4th down …. With the game still I’m the balance was just awful for a guy who wants to lead a team. Business decision. Didn’t show me that he gets the keys for the rest of the year.

What was his net adjusted passing rate?
