Somebody make me feel better that Montez will have more ups than downs. I have the gut feeling of great one drive and then the next drive I question if he is even right handed.
I'd rather a player be so good he can leave a year early than play poorly enough in a key game that it makes a return seem inevitable. I mean, I get your point, I just always root for guys to be able to leave.Good news. Looks like Steven will be back next year after all.

Well it was fun thinking for 5 games that we were different..... better talent but same ol stuff.....Montez was right Laviska is like LeBron he is the only one that can produceThis is aging well.
Chiv too. He channeled his inner Lindgren tonight.
That’s because our offensive scheme has become so predictable. And I get that you have to rely on execution and the old football axiom that “even if they know what’s coming, if you execute, you will succeed.” But when the other side has as much or more talent than you do, you need to change things up some."They knew what we were going to do," said Colorado quarterback Steven Montez, who went 25 of 46 for 168 yards. "They kind of had us figured out, and when we had some good calls going, we would shoot ourselves in the foot with a bunch of different penalties. I think we've just got to clean it up. If we clean it up, it's definitely a lot closer of a game and I think we give ourselves a chance."
I posted in the game thread specifics but Montez is not carrying out the play fakes. Many plays are designed to make the D account for Montez when he hands off. He is simply watching the play after the handoff and making no attempt to carry out the fake."They knew what we were going to do," said Colorado quarterback Steven Montez, who went 25 of 46 for 168 yards.

It's not even changing things up. It should be a matter of going to the next option on the play tree which counters whatever the defense is doing with scheme to stop the base plays. That's basic offensive design and play calling.That’s because our offensive scheme has become so predictable.

He’s a new play caller and got schooled...hopefully he’s pissed at himself and learns from this beat down.Kind of surprised that Chev is nowhere to be seen on Twitter....he is constantly tweeting. Must be pissed as hell.

Remember. Josh Allen was actually a pretty bad statistical QB and didn’t lead Wyoming to a ton of success and was still a top 15 pick. One poor game doesn’t change anything regarding Montez NFL prospects after this season. The thing that might is the offense he runs. It’s clear the ONLY reason he’s been as “efficient” w his comp numbers is because almost half his passes are basically extended handoffs. Also, contrary to what Mtn says, he does not play in an offense that requires him to go through progressions regularly. Any NFL coach is going to need to design an offense completely around him and his strengths.

This is not new. See 2:33 left in 1Q KD Nixon on jet sweep.
Helton’s post game presser makes it vary clear that shutting down CU’s offense is done by getting Montez off of his spot. Take away his launch point to take away CU’s offensive production.
Maybe time for Roper to allow Montez to practice his broken play improvisation skills that have been beaten out of him?

Now that he’s solid in the pocket (when he’s got time), yes. Drove me nuts when he was trying to do something fancy on every passing play.
My guess is HCMM told coaches and players to get off of social media and start focusing on Washington. All the bull**** instagramming and tweeting got way out of hand.I hope he thinks, and sees, he got schooled. If he's pissed at himself better yet, but I wonder if he thinks he made the right calls, and like HCMM said, it was the players who didn't execute.. We'll know in less then a week what the answer is.......
