I’m sorry that I said you are the smartest guy in this forum..

(but I’m not sorry that I said Furby is the smartest lady here)

You are forgiven - it was supposed to stay a secret, but now that it has been revealed - I'm okay with that.

@Mingo, how did the Buffs do today with early signings?

Higher ratings than previous years. They got the number 1 recruit in the USA from last year (DE Alfano) - on a transfer from Alabama (he left school because his grandmother got sick). Generally - bigger more physical players. At QB they got a guy named Brendon Lewis who was the Texas 4A offensive player of the year. An Olineman named Jake Wray - who decomitted from Ohio St to sign with the Buffs. Brenden Rice WR - faster than his dad Jerry Rice. A couple of 4 star WRs. Looks like a good LB class. A 4 star CB.

Not signing yet - is a guy who committed to the Buffs after decommitting to LSU at RB (Clayton). They are also in on a top Rush OLB (Jason Harris). Former Buff and NFL Star Christain Fauria's son Caleb Fauria signed at TE.

All and all - Mel Tucker seems to be the best recruiter in Boulder since McCartney.

I think we have our QB. He makes everyone on the O side of the football better.

Lock is already 10 times better then the other trash we have had here since the Manning era. Lets hope he continues to grow because he could be REALLY good if he continues.

Don't want him to end up like Derek Carr where he looks good as a young QB and then never gets any better.

IMO, Carr is a tier 2 QB and actually is playing as well this year as he did in the 2016 12-4 year. I have no issue with Lock competing 71 % , have a 2.5-1 TD/int ratio 8 YPA and Over 100 QBR

is that good enough to compete for the afcw and in the playoffs?

I have always though Carr was underrated

never been to the playoffs to know how he completes in more critical games

Mingo was boring when he started a riot in Cali!

In my view the police started that riot. All we did was take over the music and drama building and brought in a band for the party.
