In his first 13 starts, Josh Rosen threw for 23 TDs. Do you want Montez to emulate him?
Sure.

Ha, it just seems like you're searching out things to complain about.Sure.
Ha, it just seems like you're searching out things to complain about.
But what you're ignoring is it's more common than not for QB's to be more like game managers in their first 15 starts than it is for them to be taking over games. That jump typically happens in year 2. You have been provided with plenty of examples.In this case, it seems like Montez fits Roper's description of a game manager. So it is not just consistency issues. He has had three great games (one of which was Northern Colorado) and a whole lot of mediocre play.
Huh? Because he's only thrown for 27 TDs through 15 starts? I feel like Montez is anything but a game manager. We've seen what he's physically capable of doing as a playmaker, and we've seen how bad he can be as well. Consistency and becoming more "football aware" are by far his biggest issues that he needs to work on.In this case, it seems like Montez fits Roper's description of a game manager.

It's typically only the true next level talents that put up better numbers during their first 15 starts.
Shocking.Ha, it just seems like you're searching out things to complain about.
Rather than make abbreviated but declarative statements about things, help us out here! Was this entire teasing out simply to say Montez may not be among the truly elite QBs in college football?Now we are getting somewhere. Your last sentence is dead on.

Fair enough, and I think CU's record over his starts pretty much tell the story of how good/mediocre he's been. As Gary said, you're not getting an argument from me or anyone else that Montez is a Heisman caliber QB, but with only one full season of starts under his belt, I think we should withhold judgement until we see if Roper and another offseason is able to advance his game. This year is a tipping point for this program in a lot of different ways.But if you actually look back over his starts, he is actually pretty consistent. Three great games and one awful game with the rest being very similar. Consistency is not the issue.
Was Montez on the D-Line last year?Fair enough, and I think CU's record over his starts pretty much tell the story of how good/mediocre he's been.

No, but as buffnik pointed out, when Montez plays well and throws TDs, the Buffs have a really good record. When he doesn't play well and doesn't throw TDs... Not so much. As the QB goes, so goes the team...Was Montez on the D-Line last year?
Can't help but look at ole "Rugged" and recall a saying my late father had about facial hair "Do not cultivate on the face what grows wild on the ass"Damn, he's tall like Mark "Rugged" Johnson.
Rukus?Damn, he's tall like Mark "Rugged" Johnson.
Not a big thing, just joking around a bit.Rukus?
Maybe not until the RMS game week. And who knows if that will be based in reality.When does an updated depth chart come out? Feels like we're about due to find out who is winning the position battles.
I'm pretty confident that Abrams is going to start and then CB2 is either Udoffia or Miller (maybe a rotation there).
Good use of an hour if you get the chance.
Montez only has 27 TDs in 15 career starts? That is low.
