The QB situation is a head scratcher, and that’s being kind. From Macintyre to Tucker, a few things have stood out.
1. The steadfast loyalty to Montez monopolizing all snaps for 3 years, even in garbage time. He had four years, did they think an extra series or three at Wazzu would move the needle?
2. As a result, we’ve not the backups to see if any of them were gamers. And certainly, meaningful playing time to develop an alternative for when, shockingly, Montez graduated.
3. I have to imagine a few QB recruits would shy away from CU knowing that Montez could lose 20 games without repercussion.
4. No recruitment of a transfer portal or grad transfer quarterback to get acclimated to spring ball 2020 in anticipation of backing up unknowns in Lytle, Stenstrom and Lewis, let alone planning for normal QB attrition/injuries
5. Now if Lewis doesn’t hit, we are screwed for 2020 AND 2021.
It’s Befuddling. Why not shuffle through quarterbacks until you find the next Todd Reesing and Chase Daniel? The college game is driven by the quarterback.
