By now, many pundits and fans have formed an opinion about Colorado quarterback Steven Montez.
Now a junior, Montez has 15 starts — including a full season — under his belt, flashing a strong arm, athleticism and moxie, but also some immaturity and inconsistency.
With spring practices set to begin on Friday, one person who hasn't judged Montez — or CU's other quarterbacks — yet is Kurt Roper. Colorado's new quarterbacks coach is going into spring with an open mind about his position group.
"When a new coach comes in, it's a fresh start for a quarterback," Roper said.
