With all due respect - it wasn't term limits... it was a few "party bosses" determining who was the better candidate in back room deals. The result? Republicans who hide their values from the voters and elected officials who dance away from real positions. MANY TIMES - over the last six years - candidates have been pulled aside and told "you are too conservative" or "you aren't the demographic we are looking for". Rather than building up a second string - we have been forcing candidates to the plate before they are ready.
RESULT? LOSS...

Term limits did play a part, but you also cite a good point. The CO legislature once used to have an excellent GOP farm team for Congress, now it's just a mess. You ever heard of Sen. Ed Jones of Colorado Springs ?
