They seem able to score in bunches at least against a possibly weaker defense.
with THAT QB, they'll be able to score on anybody. that kid is a high round NFL QB. you can tell his knowledge of defenses is through the roof- he reads things pre-snap and post-snap as good as any college QB I have ever seen and his accuracy and ball placement is absolutely insane. Deion's kid is a 1st rd NFL QB.

If they end up 9-3 it'll be notable I think.  I'd guess more like 7-5, which is better than most would have thought preseason.
7-5 is their floor imo. I think 9-3 is probably their top end, because their defense looks pretty bad.

speed kills

they may have enough speed to simply run past most defenses

time will tell

Nebraska doesn't have a great defense so it could be a long day for them
the reason they will be so lethal is not because of speed at the skill position, it's because of who they have throwing the football. Deion's kid is stupid good. his ball placement, accuracy, decision making, processing....all off the charts good.

one game vs a Big 12 defense and they've been anointed?
That was not the same TCU team that beat Michigan
that defense was pressuring him, hitting him, and covering his WRs. he just happened to read their blitzes, coverages, stand tall in the pocket and deliver while taking hits and throwing the ball to the right spot so many times and putting the ball in insane places where only his guys could get it. he wasn't just throwing to wide open guys all game long. he was flat out throwing guys open and dropping dimes. he was throwing a TON of perfect passes. and perfect passes will beat perfect coverage every time. that kid is just fcking REALLY good at playing QB.

You don't know what the word 'nuanced' means, do you?  Any declaration after 1 game is silly, even if it turns out to be correct.

TCU kept covering 3 with #47 who was bigger and slower.  That was like a quarter of CU's passing yards on those 2 plays.  
Is it possible mdot is even more reactionary than before?  
Is that possible?

But it is.
I'm too apathetic to explain it.

Deion can really coach, his kid is a STAR QB in the making, and Billy Napier can't coach his way out of a wet paper bag and Florida sucks ass....again.

The mark of a wise man is to judge his decisions based on the quality of the decision-making process, rather than solely upon the results. 

After all, a stopped clock is right twice a day too.

I'll be curious to see how Hunter holds up.  Now against Cal and Arizona and Colorado State, they might not need to give him that many snaps, but comparing him to Woodson, Bailey or Gamble is a joke, based on that first game.  Those guys had a position, and they found spots to use them on the other side of the ball.  Hunter truly played both ways.  We haven't seen that in 80 years, and if it was sustainable, someone would have done it by now.  The video of Buress putting Terrell on his ass is why you need to turn CBs into WRs.  It doesn't work the other way.  WRs can't play CB, even if Richard Sherman made Keyshawn leave the stage arguing that point, which is 100% true.  And when Woodson and Bailey and Gamble did it, the coaches held all the power.  I think now, most elite CBs would tell their coach to go fuck themselves.  I think it would be a kid like Jabrill Peppers, who was good, but not great, on both sides of the ball, who embraces it, because he's not an elite NFL prospect on either side of the ball.  I can't imagine many NFL CBS like Hunter, agreeing to do it

Now you're interjecting Florida into a discussion about CU and your propensity for jumping to massive conclusions based on very little evidence.
Why?

Sure. but I'd take a poor decision making process that yields the correct answer over the reverse, as a single event.  I've been right for the wrong reasons of course, as have we all, and at times wrong for actual good reasons that were fairly painful.

Anyway, I'm impressed with Colorado.  Maybe they go 1-11 from here, doesn't change my initial impression of course.  I though they might get to 6-6 preseason, now it's more like 8-4.  Information and evidence should change one's thinking.

If this was the case, then no one would believe in god.  a 1-11 team with normal turnover improving very much.
