You're a fan of a college team from an area/state that tends to breed fans of the professional football team many Chiefs fans despise the most. The state of Colorado for sports doesn't typically sit well with Chiefs fans for that very reason.
And you started your own thread, even though if you look around this forum the number of Buffalo fans are basically you, Donk fans, and a couple others that you can count on one hand.
I don't care if you're the most popular CPer to ever exist. You started a thread, they came up short of the media hype, and you're continuing to pump them up rather than letting the thread die.

You do realize that some of those sacks are due to him being indecisive and holding onto the ball way too long. He also doesn’t throw the ball away a lot of times when he should because he knows it would negatively affect his completion percentage. He is a me first player and doesn’t give 2 shits about the team. [Reply]

People like to make up reasons in their head and typically it's negative - we don't really know WHY - has anyone asked?
Second - so suppose that is the case? So what? He is trying to make it to the NFL - he has a better chance at doing that with impressive numbers than he does if he is "humble" and throws the ball away. This is his livelihood we are talking about - how does the old saying go? If you ain't cheatin you ain't tryin and while taking sacks isn't "cheating" everybody looks for a "legal" edge in sports and I'm supposed to feel bad about Sheduer doing it?
As for your completely uneducated, Shedeur apologist post. I won’t waste any time addressing it. If you will excuse him being a me first player because “he’s trying to get to the NFL,” you wouldn’t give a shit anyway. [Reply]

Well, you did say "I think anyone would agree those numbers are astonishing given the number of sacks" ...and so now we're saying it's less astonishing if he's just out for his own stats and taking sacks because he's all about that completion percentage. :-) [Reply]

However the other numbers (yards, TD's and Int's) are still statistically impressive regardless of completion percentage in light of the teams record and overall offensive play.
He's also 3rd in CFB in attempts, so while I believe the best QBs are usually in the 9-10+ yard average, he's at 7.5... in terms of stats, he's a volume Brock Purdy when he was at ISU, but with 2-3 times the sacks.
And I don't have an ax to grind with him, his dad, or CU... but, if he really is a stat whore, quality > quantity. I don't know who else they brought in after the one win season, so I'd also say doing it with CU probably gets him some bonus points. [Reply]
Anyone else getting weird private messages from DenverChief? He has to have the thinnest skin of any poster in CP history. I’m beginning to think Hootie was right about him. [Reply]
