I worry that he will end up at Nebraska. That would suck.

Meh.

I bet he stays on the east coast.

12 potential transfer destinations for Kelly Bryant

Colorado

Kurt Roper, who recruited Bryant to Florida in high school, is now the Buffaloes’ QB coach. The Buffs have an entrenched starter in Steven Montez, who has an NFL build and could theoretically leave school after 2018.

 

[Buffnik]

Visiting North Carolina this week, which has been in contact with him.

If Montez leaves, we could do a hell of a lot worse than Bryant. He would guarantee us at least average QB play next year. And next year is the year where we could have quite a team.

 

[MtnBuff]

I worry that he will end up at Nebraska. That would suck.

He has much better options than that train wreck.

Frost has already declared who his QB will be as long as he is healthy. Problem is that that will chase away other QB prospects and then that guy is going to get hurt (his style almost guarantees it) and the nubs will be left using Band-Aids again.

 

[The Alabaster Yak]

Plus the every down threat of a running QB would be nice, IMO. Montez is a threat, but not like Bryant.

 

[JMBuffs]

The offensive system the Chev and Roper are building here at CU has to be a HUGE draw for Bryant.

 

[InTheBuff]

if Montez leaves early who wouldn't want to throw the ball to Viska ?

 

[Leon Sandcastle]

if Montez leaves early who wouldn't want to throw the ball to Viska ?

My assumption is that Kelly will want to make a decision on where he is going far in advance of Montez being in a position to decide on his future

 

[WarBuff]

if Montez leaves early who wouldn't want to throw the ball to Viska ?

If Viska begged Montez to stay, would he do it?

 

[manhattanbuff]

If Viska begged Montez to stay, would he do it?

If Montez keeps on the same track he’s currently on, Viska won’t beg SM to come back because Viska will want SM to get that money.

 

[hawg1]

Visiting Arkansas too. Morris connection.

 

[FLounder]

Forreal. We need a first round QB drafted more than ANYTHING (except maybe a Heisman or natty). If Montez gets eval go.

 

[BatBuff]

Visiting Arkansas too. Morris connection.

Is he visiting CU?

 

[BuffUp]

get this back to the top. Might need to go this route.

get this back to the top. Might need to go this route.

Agree-From Montez's comments after the game, it sounds like he'll at least consider the NFL.

 

[buffaholic]

Montez is going to look hard .

 

[JMBuffs]

Agree-From Montez's comments after the game, it sounds like he'll at least consider the NFL.

I believe Montez leaving for the NFL is a great decision. QB draft class is down in 2019, Montez' measureables should be solid, and teams should look beyond some of his short comings this season due to coaching and failures as a team. His stock should be higher in 2019 than in the 2020 Draft class.
