I'd chalk that up to it's just never happened before so you can't compare it to anything else. Deion brought a LOT of talent with him. It's not like he's coaching an entire slew of nobodies. He has some very good players on that team. If you start from scratch, but you have good ingredients, is it really that impressive?

Yes. It is the equivalent of having almost 100% a new team. Only his guys from Jackson State had ever played for him or most of these coaches. It's about as crazy a situation as possible from a continuity standpoint. Again, that is why I am saying this is so crazy. They definitely have talent but taking all these parts and molding them together in that short of a period of time is nuts. Keep in mind what the Vegas books had as win totals for them preseason. It was in the 2.5 to 3.5 range.

I think people are way overdoing it. All 22 if his starters were starting somewhere last year. It's not like he took over a bad program and coached the kids up. He left all those kids hung out to dry and told them to fug off. Kind of like he did at Prime Prep Academy when kids couldn't get academic eligibility because Prime Prep Academy was just an outright scam.

Deion is a piece of poo and this celebration is gonna end badly. Deion is gonna do what Deion does and it'll fug over a lot of kids in the process.

I'm honestly surprised a school like CU fell for this. It'll end badly for them.

I don't think he is any worse than most other college head coaches. He is just saying the poo they all say behind closed doors publicly. Most successful division 1 college football held coaches are fuging horrible human beings. They care next to nothing about these kids outside their own goals.

They've only exceeded that by half a game so far. Gotta see how they finish before talking about all time greatness.

Even if they do get there though, what happens if they fall back to earth next year?

Man you guys find anything to hate on Deion.

 

Blame the kids for following Deion. He didn't force them to go there. Also we act like Travis Hunter couldn't have gone to any school in America. He was the #1 overall recruit and chose to play for Deion at JSU.

 

What Deion is doing is no different from any other coach. People just love to hate because it's Deion.

 

 

The difference is that it was an HBCU. Had he gone from a Texas Tech to a Miami ... yeah no one would care. But when an entire generation struggles at college athletics due to systematic racism and whatnot, and you have the opportunity to make a massive change that could one day shift the way people view HBCUs, why would you leave? He let JSU down and you can't argue that. They're 4-2 this season and no one cares about them anymore.

And just as we smack talk every non-HBCU coach weekly ... Deion is now no different he's in the limelight he oh so loves. So he's open to crticism. Are you really giving us the "Oh, lowly Colorado" train of thought? No ... LOWLY Jackson St. They need Deion.

Oh, well if Vegas says it ... then let's crown him Belichick.

    • Um, no, just no. Bills, Chiefs, Chargers, Ravens, Bengals, Texans, Eagles, Commanders are 8 teams that it's not even a debate, they aren't trading their QB for Purdy. Patriots, Broncos, Titans, Giants, Bears, Vikings, Falcons are 7 more teams with QBs drafted in the last 2 years that also would rather stick with them than trade for Purdy as they all have more upside than he does. Lions, Packers, Cowboys, Bucs are 4 more that would likely keep their QB's as well, age aside for Goff, Dak, and Baker. Panthers and Colts are two teams in the same situation, QB's who have both struggled and shown flashes to where the teams probably stick with them because they drafted them, but in a re-draft of all QB's, they probably take Purdy over the guy they currently have. Jags, Cardinals, Dolphins, are 3 more with QB's who probably have a higher upside than Purdy but come with their own question marks, so debatable if they'd take Purdy over who they already have. That leaves Jets, Raiders, Steelers, Browns, Saints, Seahawks, and Rams. Rams would take him over Stafford for the future of course, but not for 2025, and I'd think the Seahawks would take him over Darnold, but honestly not sure if they would take him over Milroe at this moment as they really like his potential and have him for 4 years really cheap. That leaves 5 teams that I see who would absolutely take him over their current situation right now, and a handful of others who MIGHT take him over their current guy, a far cry from your 20.  
    • Agreed. Also as soon as they received the top pick in the next draft it was over. Bears won that trade. Gave up a top overall pick got one the next year plus pick 9, a couple 2nds, and DJ Moore a proven young WR. Had their 2024 pick from us be in the late teens or later it would be more debatable IMO. 
    • Option A:  Pay your starting QB starting QB money. Option B:  Look for a starting QB for 4-10 years (or longer) while wasting the talent at every other position.    How many of the top 20 QB's do you think are worth what they are being paid?   When you factor in the last year of his present deal his contract is really an average of 45 million per year which in today's QB market is a very, very good deal. I wish we'd had found a Brock Purdy to pay 50+ million a year right after we parted ways with Cam.  Ya'll go ahead and live in fairy tale land where good to great (much less elite) QB's are available to pay. Just the fact that they had the chance to pay Brock after the disaster of trading up for Lance is a testament that when you find a quarter back you can win with, complete in the playoffs and superbowls with, you pay him.
