There are so many definitive statements in here, it's hard to know where to begin, but I have to ask why Montez is a "who knows?" and Jones is a "definite upgrade" when we've seen the same amount of football from both of them?

Agreed. I think Apsay has a lot of promise, but I am equally unsure he will be able to be the game changer CU needs next year. Montez, although he has tools, reportedly, is in the same boat. Webb, OTOH, is a playmaker.
+1
Yes. All we know is that we've got 2 big dudes with big arms who can run and juke competing to be the QB1 of the future. That excites me, but I don't think it's honest to say that one is ahead of the other based on how heralded they were coming out of high school 2 years ago.

I am really encouraged that CU *may* finally have an average to above average P12 QB for the next four years. This is very unusual and exciting.
I have also tempered my excitement with the fact that it is probably just as likely that Webb may not sign and neither Montez or Jones will pan out.
But there is hope right now, and that's more than I've had since that 4.5 40 was changed on Sefo's recruiting profile four years ago.
3rd best possibly. USC has two studs competing for #2 behind Rosen.

Montez could be the guy. He could be as good as Jones. I like the promise of Jones because he had a recruiting list that was filled with Power 5 teams. Montez was not. We need more than the Sefo's and Apsay's to go from below average to at least average.

I would take top 3. Would almost certainly guarantee a bowl... finally.
It is very fair to question both of them given they have no college track record. We do know that Jones excelled against vastly superior high school opponents so it would be fair to have higher expectations of him.

I meant the QB position in general. Read the whole statement. The position gets a definite upgrade with the Jones transfer in 2017 and Webb would make 2016 that way. That is fact! Ability and promise isn't anointing these guys sure fire Pac 12 champ QBs but it hits on all adjectives used.

Hell. Yes. This is so huge for 2016. Pull out as many red carpets as you can this weekend.
Would be nice to add someone who can compete for the starting job right away. We would have Webb, Jones, Gehrke, Apsay, and Montez for Spring practices. In the fall we would have; Liufau, Webb, Gehrke, Apsay, and Montez competing for the job while Jones and Noyer redshirt. Have to assume that 1 or 2 of those scholarship QB's won't be here by then. Its a crowded field.
impressive
The main things I like are how quickly he goes through his progressions, the accuracy to hit guys in stride or back shoulder, and the decisiveness. And that was from his 2013 RS-Frosh season. Got to assume his football IQ has increased since then or at least not gotten any worse.
Webb won't transfer until the summer.
That would make things a bit more interesting then for spring practices. If Gehrke stays, then we are probably ok, if not, camp arms are going to be limited.
He is also more mobile than he gets credit for....
agree and he has some velocity when needed.
We'll have Apsay, Montez, Jones and Patterson even if Gehrke isn't there.
Forgot about the walkon, thanks
CU doesn't have enough of the rest of the pieces of the transmission to make this car go with or without Webb. To me the move is insurance against Sefo's injury and his inability to do X Y or Z in a game.
If Webb transfers here and wins the job, I guess you try to redshirt Sefo and have that security blanket in your back pocket for 2017 (or if Webb got injured)?
Depends on his health, and his priorities. He still has his redshirt, so the options are pretty open.
Webb will win it.
I think so, too. I just don't like to anoint people before they've competed.
