2021 Verbal: Cole Payton

[BISONBRI53]

Here's a thought------I've always wanted to see Cole Payton start at QB because such an impressive athlete----butttttt if he's had issues making plays in passing game------

Watching Nathan Hayes in warmups---thought he had the strongest arm and accuracy of all our qbs---which I know---is just warm ups

Could Cole "PULL AN ESLEY THORTON"? Move to LB He is 6'3 235 and one of the fastest guys on our team

JUST AN IDEA-------

Thoughts???

Think that's been mentioned a couple times... Hope this happens.

I mentioned it a while back. It's also his best option at the NFL in my opinion.

[Herd It Here]

How about we have a an old fashioned QB competition in 2025? If it’s CP or Willie Mays Hayes, I’m good either way. If CP isn’t QB1, he needs to be worked in somewhere. I’m hopeful, but a little skeptical about his ability to be QB1.

Im guessing they rework the offense around Cole and let him have a shot at it. Hopefully Lance and Raja both come back to help. Those two Mekhi and Williams would be something.

His attributes remind me of Hunter Luepke. I like the linebacker idea. He is a strong competitor with athleticism to play a lot of snaps. Hopefully his injury recovery will help him find where he can best contribute. Lots of talent to use effectively.

I have my doubts about Payton being the QB in 2025 too. We wouldn't let him throw ever and he has a high risk of getting injured via how many runs he will have.

CP reminds me a lot of Troy Anderson from Montana State. Was a tremendous athlete that played LB and QB. He's an Atlanta Falcon LBer I believe.

He really just needs to play a Taysom Hill role. Line him up at QB, TB, HB, X, Y, or Z...swiss army knife.

Just what does Chris Harris have to do to get some respect? He has great hands and catches everything, including uncatchable balls. He is as fast or faster than any other receiver on the team, at 6'3" 205 he has excellent length. He is also the best blocking receiver perhaps in the FCS.

[Alsen]

Cole Payton is going to average over 100 yards rushing next year on his insane talent alone, and if the Bison are able bring in a OT transfer or coach up a couple youngsters, he may break some records.
