Kaden Anderson is a loser.

3/10. 22 yards. Loser.

okcwycowboy- the biggest loser on this forum. Real class act.

Fair point. I’m just not going to personally attack, in many cases, kids in late teenage years, or barely 20. Coaches it’s their job, and I can’t hold kids accountable for ineffective coaches or a game plan, or game management, or an O line that cant protect him, or receivers that can’t catch a ball in their hands. Kaden has had some less than impressive games, and I would like to see Sims, but, I’m not going to personally attack him or others. There is a lot out of their control.

In the words of the recently fired Mike Gundy: “if you have a problem, come after me! I’m a man! I’m 40!”

Has anyone ever seen the video examining the footwork Allen had to learn to play in the NFL? The side by side comparison with his footwork at Wyoming and after receiving NFL instruction was substantial.

It does make me wonder exactly what the coaching up level at Wyoming is like for the players development.

This. There's a lot wrong with the O. Anderson misfires but if you fixed everything else on the offense and provided Anderson with proper qb coach, you wouldn't notice Anderson's deficiencies. He doesn't appear to have that elite talent to carry a team on his back but he's also probably not as bad as he's looked either. Even nfl all-pros struggle with too much pressure and their best receivers out. A porous o line and struggling receiver core amplifies those struggles at the college level especially at the g6 level.

He's not a loser. He's a kid I'm happy came to play for the POKES. He has to do better. The rest of the O players have to do better. The coaches have to do MUCH better. This season will go by offensive production.

I am no football guru by any means but I just don’t see pass routes that are designed to confuse the defense run very often at Wyoming.

Watching so many other college teams including FCS along with NFL schemes it just seems like the Wyoming offense avoids plays designed to be deceptive as if they are against the rules.

Are plays like this too difficult to implement and execute effectively?

I am also not a college coach but WYO's offensive struggles are baffling.

Look at TX this year with Manning. Is he that bad? Did other areas of O really drop off? Coaching is mostly the same but decent defenses have made that offense look dysfunctional.

I think it's just an overall combination of a lot of factors. I rewatch almost every game and there's just so many problems. It really looks like at least 1 thing goes wrong on a lot (most) of plays. Maybe pressure gets through; Anderson makes wrong read or makes bad throw; missed block on run, play call is bad; receiver doesn't read soft spot in zone and just runs route, penalty, rb doesn't read lanes, etc. You expect that throughout games, but the O needs to string more plays together where those things aren't happening.

If I had a magic wand and could fix 1 thing, I think I'd have to go with the line, but they certainly are not the only problem.

Younger Gundy posted T. Roosevelt's man in the arena quote. I honestly hadn't read the entire quote before.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
