Hey Shedeur...if you'd ever keep on the read...we might actually convert a short yardage run...but everyone knows you're not going to keep it

Shedeur's football IQ seems to drop every week. His comment about not trying to run the ball in the post game presser is such low football IQ. At this point I have to believe that he simply checks out of any running play regardless of the situation. I doubt there has been a single play that he changed the play from pass to run.
I have to believe Lewis leaving last year was disagreements on how to run the offense and his offensive game plan would not work with Shedeur changing the play before ever snap.
I'm so annoyed with CU right now. Everything about this team feels like a huge grift to make sure Prime and Co get paid, and any football team success seems to be a secondary concern.

As many former players have talked **** on their way out you’d think someone would put this out if it were the case. Someone would love to throw SS under the bus for checking out of every run. Maybe not.
Apparently you don't understand how those with money work. There is never enough.
It may not be about the money, but absolutely can be about the reputation. I would say they want Shedeur to be Heisman.
And his OL was able to hold their blocks for a useful period of time.
I agree with this. I don't know how you can have a kicker at this level who is unable to get the ball UP, at all. That's entirely a technique issue, isn't it? Even someone with a weak leg can learn to get the ball up enough to get over the line, it just won't go very far, can't they? What's the problem?
There’s never enough money
This is the problem that worries me, too. You have to commit to some smash-mouth running, and make it effective and productive, or every snap you will face a team lined up for an ears-back pass rush. They'll put 5-6 at the LOS and then back off the ones they want. They never really even have to blitz, because the players rushing do not have to worry about any run gaps or SS scrambling. Each player coming can commit to his best pass rush almost every play.
UCLA was the extreme example, but it's all pretty much the same problem.
None of which explains why our OL can't block one-on-one consistently. From SS point of view, he has to feel like he could get crushed from any angle every play.
Please, go Pistol Formation some. Bring in an H-back and TE to block. Use SOME misdirection in the running game!!!

unreal for an OC to get paid nearly a million a year and be this unprepared after having months to plan – as much as I think Prime and SS are issues with the offensive scheme, I'd trust Deion Jr with play calling over Shurmur at this point. he's at least put some accountability on his brother
Absolutely. Another Sanders in the mix has to help.
He would likely make more money if he wasn't coaching and instead doing full time sponsorship deals.
at the moment it's all about #2 and #21. As soon as the season is over we will see where he stands. If 2 goes out with an injury it might get real weird.
Agreed
The problem is that no one knows if he changes to pass plays.
Basically, everyone is operating on the assumption that the play call is getting changed at the line of scrimmage. I think he's changing the play calls in the huddle.
With the headset, and the OC communicating directly to SS via the headset, no one else in the huddle knows if Shurmur called a play and SS changes it to a pass in the huddle.
The only people who know if this is happening/happened are Lewis, Shurmur, and SS.
CP did just say in his presser that #2 changes the call at the last second after the other y
team shows their hand.
He can do both.
Of course they do. The University also badly wants Shedeur (or Travis) to win the Heisman
There isn't really an answer CP can give publicly that is going to be great on this issue. Reading between the lines suggests that Shurmur is calling plays and Shedeur has been given the authority to change the call based on the look he gets pre snap. However, at the 15 second mark, the comms get shut off so it's entirely up to him and there is nobody in his ear telling him no.
He can't throw his OC under the bus and he isn't going to throw his son and QB1 under the bus. The only thing that will change perception is if these conversations are being had behind closed doors and Shedeur's freedom is reined back in a bit, and we see a marked difference the next couple weeks.

I’m on record as stating things could get ugly pretty quick if the offense looks like last years. This weekend’s game is either the expensive face lift or a drunk tattoo.
I disagree. Without him being relevant (current P4 HC) his sponsorship deals aren't really going to fly.
Yep, this Saturday is going to decide how much more free time during the weekend I am going to have with my wife and kids this fall.
uhh you do realize he had all these deals before he was a P4 HC except for Nike right? You aren't clear of mind here and you're blinded by how much you hate CU, and it's obvious that you do because you only post heavily when it's to **** on the football and basketball teams. Prime was a huge brand before CU and he will be after CU.
He wasn't even on the radar screen until he became JSt HC - so if he isn't a HC, and more so a P4 HC, then no, he isn't going to be making more money doing full time sponsorship deals.
You can continue to make bad assumptions about what I do or do not feel about CU - but I can assure you, I do not hate CU. I have expectations for the AD, yes.
Sorry I don't follow your plan for how to love and dote on the dumpster fire that is this team.
Also, when are you going to pay up on your debt?
I don't know the answer. I have a lot of trouble believing, though, that 2 different OC playcallers have decided to call 75-80% passing plays.
Does he ever audible to a run or switch the running play to a different one or side based on formation? Because I watched Peyton Manning teach a masterclass on that to a Super Bowl at a career stage when he barely had the arm strength to complete a 20 yard pass. It's a huge part of the QB position.
Lol I am plenty critical of how the offense has performed and many decisions made by the staff. I don't think the sky is falling.
My debt?
Checking out of plays too often also slows down the offense.
Hard for the sky to fall when we're already standing on top of it.
Go back and check your PMs from, oh say 6 years ago.
