One person, besides a QB, probably won't make or break things by himself. The thing that he can affect greatly however is boosting the number of options that have to be accounted for by the defense. That is when things open up. Harder to account for 4 playmakers versus 3, 5 versus 4 etc. Cumulative effect.

They'll be placed back where they belong soon enough. Patience my friends, patience.

I concur. I don't want him heavier than that, that's what Mills is for. As a Broncos fan, I witnessed how Von Miller became way less effective when he gained 20 lbs because he lost the explosiveness. Dropped the weight and he was right back being a terror.

On offense I think there are a lot of guys who will like Robinson, Hunt, Warner, Allen, Legrone. On Defense I expect big things from Taylor, Domann, Williams, Tannor and the line as a whole. The strength of the defense should be that d line.

Sounds like a lot of your concerns are due to lack of experience and playing time at various positions. Sometimes, especially during a rebuild, getting new guys in who haven't played under old staffs is a good thing.

There are some instances when they get it right yes. Then there are years with Derrick Henry over Christian McCaffrey, and Mark Ingram over Gerhart and Suh.

Correct. It was also a miracle that Scott Frost was 1. Available and 2. Actually wanted to come take on what had become of the team. Or was it just a....

Would that not get him invited? That's what you were asking. Haha. What I meant was, he would probably need similar stats to get there if we just won the west at 9-3 or 10-2. The Heisman has become the "best player on the best team" award and not simply the best player in college football award. Multiple loses seem to hold guys back no matter how good he is compared to his team.

If he has 5000 yards and 45-50 touchdowns yes.

Yep! In fact, I am so dedicated to this game that I already drive to Boulder to check on things 5 days a week.

If he pulls starters early, that would be telling for the season as The Dude said....
