it's an old Allbuffs joke -
I believe you're right, I don't get why he needs that given what he is playing for this year. It isn't just wins or a bowl. He wants any chance in the league, or even the CFL, he better ****ing bring it from jump.
There just doesn't seem to be a sense of urgency from him in the first half of games. He takes lazy drops, walks everywhere, doesn't move around, doesn't show a ton of fire or leadership, etc. It seems like takes an arrogant mentality into the game like, "We are better than you and just have to show up". Then, when things are close in the 3rd and 4th quarters, he flips a switch and he becomes a gamer. He's more sudden with his movements, he gets fired up, he steps up in the pocket and just starts making plays. It's 100% mental with him. Tucker, JJ and Chev need to get him to play with that same sense of urgency for 4 quarters, rather than just the last one.
Maybe benching would get his attention.
You would think Chev and Tucker would light his ass up and stress the importance of having that fire from start to finish. We'll see.
He did get planted early against AF on the bad snap...
You forgot:
Somebody said somewhere to run Montez early. Get a few bumps. Get competitive juices going. Get heart rate up. Seems to do better when he’s into game. Could be a good idea.
He needs to learn to love the pain and feed off of it like Sefo
We'll never see another QB like Sefo with that stuff. I don't know that I've ever seen another QB who would do something like get his shoulder popped out and react to it by throwing a bomb for a TD the next play before the trainers had to remove him. Then in the run game, our QB option was for power runs between the tackles with a lead blocker instead of to the outside. What QB does that? It was surreal at times with his toughness.
The thing is, when the team sees their QB putting the wood to a defender, it fires up everyone. Offense, defense, you name it. When they see the QB pissing down his leg at the first hint of pressure, refusing to run, it can deflate everyone.
Yup, I remember when MM benched him in 2017 in the game against WSU. He came back in the next game against Cal all fired up. He went 20-26, 347 YDS, 3 TD.
Perhaps not. However, even if you take into account your point that they had a poor defense. We scored 44 points on their defense which is more than the amount of points scored against Cal by USC, Washington, and WSU that same year. All of those teams were ranked in the top ten nationally that year. So the bottom-line is, Montez seemed to bring his A-game after being benched.
With the Viska one when he was open from the slot running up the seam and the throw went to the outside receiver the safety flew out to double (leaving Viska wide open), it was obvious that Montez missed the read completely. I didn't play QB, but even I know that if you're looking at cover 2 and you have 2 guys running deep forcing a safety to a decision -- that it's the safety that is read (or even looked off) to determine who to throw the ball to.
Coached into what? I'm mildly curious. Either have it, or you don't.
The "good" montez doesnt show up nearly frequently enough to make up for bad montez. Its usually one half or 3 quarters of bad montez and then 1 quarter or rarely 1 half of good montez, if he even shows up for the game. I dont think ive ever seen montez play well for more than a full half of football in a game, which is ridiculous for a 5th year senior thats started for 3 full seasons.
Um... the face mask vs UCLA, he points it out to the ref and then throws the ball for a first down. If memory serves.
He’s gonna be holding a clip board for some team.
