And we saw so little of him the year before that it is hard to make any definitive statements.
In 2018 he threw a total of 14 passes all season with no more than 6 in any one game. Not exactly a representative sample size.

Why was Noyer moved to DB?
- Thread starter Buffarino
- Start date

What kind of presents?

Totally agree but what we did see didn't exactly inspire confidence, hence the gigantic meltdown when he was named the starter. We can all pretend that the previous coaching staff was clueless and we would have competed for a BCS berth if we'd only started Noyer over Montez.

Well who knows how Noyer looked in practice. Some guys aren't good in practice, but step their level up in games.
This is also why I was constantly pissed that MM/MT wouldn't put in ****ing anyone other than Montez. You just never know what guys might do.
It is worth reiterating what NW said, Noyer did get some time and didn't look good. Granted, if memory serves, a lot of that time was vs Wazzu when their defense was legit and it was a ****ty rainy windy game, so he probably should've gotten more of a chance.
I also seem to recall Duff asking an open question before last season that was something to the effect of, "will we come to regret Montez starting at QB for 3 years?"
Yes. Very yes.

Added to the Sam Noyer 2020 soundtrack
Well, he couldn't play quarterback either so I guess I've got nothing as well.
IMO, one of the intangibles that Noyer will eventually need to show everyone is leading the Buffs to a win after trailing the whole game.
Yep, agreed. But damn it's nice to watch competent QB play.
IMO, the last staff wanted to move on from the older bench players, which is likely what led to Noyer “losing the QB2 job” and subsequent move to Safety. There was clearly no QB1 competition and adds a little more to the narrative that Tucker is/was a good recruiter, but might not have a clue when it comes to the other aspects of being a HC.
Exactly.

But...but...but...Montez could spike the ball over the crossbar AND flash his Frat signs after TDs, doesn't that make up for his chckensh*t slides, always a yard or two short of a 1st down?
In a lot of ways, Lindgren was made the sole scapegoat after 2017.

I like Sam 10x better than Montez, just from a leadership standpoint. Not to mention Sam’s awesome, leaping karate kicks of defenders. The dude is choice, legit.

Also, don't forget: Montez = Ten Cent head! How many wide-open receivers did we watch him ignore with his locked-on-to-Viska stare?
Right now Noyer is showing a lot of Sefo characteristics. Leadership matters. Very, but pleasantly surprised with Noyer's performance so far this season. With all the gyrations with the O-Line, that group has surprised me the most, though (and, of course, feeds Brou's and Noyer's performance.)

Your post assumes that the lightbulb wasn’t already on. You got any data or proof of that, other than some straw man bull**** that is couched in his performance as a 3rd string in total garbage, lack of reps time?
That would be great but right now I'm just happy to see us winning some games when we lead most of the game.
Or roll in to the back side rush because he had no idea you could actually step up in the pocket.

You could tell that when there were mis-communications or missed routes between Noyer and his receivers and then there were calm conversations among them, that Noyer was leading
And when Noyer mis-threw to a receiver, he patted his chest saying "my bad".
Very Sefo like -- I don't know for sure, but I would assume Noyer was here when Sefo was playing and saw his skills in leadership and taking control of the offense and (literally) running plays (vs Montez)

Because Mel Tucker is a sh!tty a$$ coach. Ask MSU how they're feeling right now.
Agreed. Montez was never a leader. He acted like it, but never had his teammates behind him. I know this from watching and from talking to players.
