Montez thru a pick six that the CSU "receiver" whiffed on. He forced another to Harris for a completion, but was an awful decision. Had a couple other bad decisions that didn't cost us, but should have.Montez only threw 20 attempts. Still went over 200 yards and the team scored 52 points. Hard to criticize all things considered.
I couldn’t help but browse a few comments over there. They’re attacking each other and blaming refs, I’m enjoying that.

Clearly, the FBI should be called.
Need to fix this ****, the 4 turnovers were a good sign!

Montez was not impressive. His mechanics were lazy, and decision making suspect.Montez thru a pick six that the CSU "receiver" whiffed on. He forced another to Harris for a completion, but was an awful decision. Had a couple other bad decisions that didn't cost us, but should have.
So, par for the course then.Montez was not impressive. His mechanics were lazy, and decision making suspect.
13 of 20 for 232 yards and two TDs.
Some of you could screw up a wet dream.
Just glad you are willing to engage in a discussion. Such solid points.
It is like some of you don't watch much college football. Montez played better than any QB in Stan/NW, including Costello--who only played one half because he has a glass jaw. (Say what you want about Montez, he's durable.) He outplayed CSU's QB because interceptions count. Does he run like Kordell? No. Does he throw like Koy? No. But he's a plus college QB. I attribute all the whinging here to typical fan complaints about every starting QB. I expect that next season, he'll be missed.
My assessment is he is a pretty average college QB who can be really inconsistent. Sorry that extremely harsh criticism hurts your feelings.

You're not hurting my feelings, I just think you have a typical fan's perspective on his team's starting QB. Without that lens, and comparing Montez to other college QB, he's a plus player at the position. Not great, but above "pretty average".
Also, pretty hilarious response from a guy who posted this: "Just glad you are willing to engage in a discussion. Such solid points." Nice job Mr. Pot.
Thanks, Kettle.
Your assessment that he is a "plus" player is based on what measure? I would seriously like to know. Stats? Wins? Intangibles? He seems pretty average in just about every respect. He looks like a superstar against really weak non-conference schedules and has some clunkers against tougher conference opponents, and then just looks mediocre most of the other games.
I will be very happy if he proves me wrong, but when you see the guy making obvious mistakes (absolutely airmailing over Nixon's head on that third down in the second half), you have to wonder why a QB with that many starts is making those mistakes.
He had some nice throws, but he also barely missed two picks because we were playing CSU’s slower corners, one that would have been a pick 6. That would have completely changed the game and they were on throws he shouldn’t have tried to make and won’t get away with for the rest of the year.It's based on my own eyes. The thing is, every college QB makes obvious mistakes--missing throws, throwing balls they shouldn't. I just think you grade Montez on the fan curve--which means his mistakes piss you off so much in the moment you respond emotionally, all while every other college QB is making the same mistakes or worse. Because of this you downplay the good/great throws he makes--like the two TD throws on Friday and the laser through traffic to Stanley. You like to pretend that those plus throws are pedestrian.

He’s a 6.5 out of 10 player, due to mechanics, mental mistakes, and lack of leadership. His arm talent overcomes a lot.
If I’m an opposing coach, I tell my guys to do everything you can to pressure him and hit him when possible. If you do that he will be fidgety the remainder of the game.

Good point. But great QBs stand up in the face of pressure and kill you if you put on an all out pass rush and don’t get to him. Montez gets flustered. So that is my weak retort to your smarmy response.What do you tell your guys to do to other QBs, Mr. Lombardi?
I’d like to see more designed roll outs. Montez does well with them and, oddly enough, it seems to mitigate his tendency to throw off his back foot.
7.5? We expect more out of 5th year senior QB's with 2 seasons of straight starts around here. Yesterday's performance of a pick 6 (albeit unpicked off) against bottom tier G5 talent isn't great. Montez needs to be more of a difference maker this year if we hope to get to 6 wins (and to get a 7.5) imo. Heck, a 7.0 is rich.That's fair, I'd say 7.5.
