I agree with some of that but not all. I've seen him not go through progression plenty when it was blocked up for him. First thought, he's thinking too damn much. Understandable when he doesn't have consistent protection. I saw at least three huge plays lost in the Wazzu game because he flat missed the read or his clock got to running too fast he took off or tried to. Make no mistake, some of it is on Montez as well.
true. but they would have to, you know, execute to make it matter
Gary nailed it with this comment. Extremely slow reads, lack of willingness/ability(?) to throw to a spot rather than a receiver and the inability to throw a man open is what is troubling. All fixable, but all should have been addressed in the off season.
That dude just needs to shut his mouth and focus on his game at this point. He's a bottom third Pac 12 QB right now, has one conference win, and hasn't played all that well, outside of a few stretches in a few games. He's getting harder and harder to root for as the season goes on with his antics after he does anything good, and that Tweet doesn't help. He went from, "I'm the best player on the field. Nobody is going to stop this offense" during the preseason, to "So much disrespect out there" after losing his 4th conference game by way of shut out. Yeah, Steven, there is well deserved disrespect for the offense and as the QB, that starts with you.
Does he have a ton of talent? We were his only P5 offer, and the story that continues to circulate about what impressed our staff the most was watching him play basketball... He seems to have a strong arm, yet can't throw the deep ball in a 7 on 7 game. He has been in this offense for almost 3 years now and struggles mightily on making his reads and going through his progressions. He can run a little, but nobody is going to mistake him for Lamar Jackson, and he struggles in adverse weather conditions. Outside of the Oregon game last year and a few stretches this year, have we really seen much from him to suggest that he has a ton of talent?
Shutting his mouth would be a start. Plus you might not wanna put it on the net, less headache.
Is this post supposed to be satirical? Serious question; can't tell... You are giving far too much credit to Montez's arm talent and even more to his mobility. Again, I keep hearing that he has all this arm talent, yet he has continually missed wide open receivers 40+ yards down field.
What was the tweet?
Arm strength =/ accuracy. He has an incredibly strong arm. Accuracy has been suspect, and getting worse by the week. The fact he is running for his life on nearly every pass play doesn't help, but still.....
It was a message of 140 characters or less, but that's not important now....
Something the to effect of, "So much disrespect out there right now" with a crying laughing emoji and a few others. He also tweeted the below out in response to Howell's Tweet about the QB competition being open this week. It just feels like he thinks this is still Spring and Fall camp or that losing games and playing poorly isn't as important as putting on this "confident" front.
Fair enough. He definitely has a strong arm, but I just feel like he's missing routine throws that just about every other P12 QB would make. As for his mobility, I think he's faster and slightly more agile than Sefo, but that shouldn't be a benchmark. He's definitely a wizard at getting out of trouble in the pocket, but I don't think his mobility is anything special.
Nope. That one is still there...
And deliver on the field or are made to look like idiots. If you are going public with your bravado, then you had better deliver. Brees, Rogers, Brady, Elway, Montana....quiet confidence. Deliver in the clutch. Not many loud mouths out there succeed....
