David Montgomery Comparisons

[Novoitus]

He has very good feet and strength. His vision is pretty inconsistent. He has decent burst but is not fast.

 

[legendxofxlink]

His screen drop against I think the Eagles at the end was atrocious. That could’ve extended a game winning drive.

 

[DaaBears]

I think he has decent vision

Let's leave it to @iueyedoc to make that determination.

 

[ZOMBIE@CTESPN]

This is not a Monty vs Howard thread. This is a Monty vs Saquon, bell, zeke thread so stop with the nonsense

We will all need to defer judgement to the rb whisperer @msadows

 

[wazzupi]

Athleticism primarily and vision secondarily are his worst traits. Also needs to develop a bit more decisiveness in the hole.

Contact balance is elite, feet are very good, hands are very good. With a solid OL and scheme can be a top 10 back no doubt.

U r joking right ? His vision is why he gets any yards period. Like is this a troll ??

 

[TezMaKai]

He’s already a really good running back but our oline is awful. It’s ranked 27th right now. He will be a top back once they fix this line

I find it hard to believe that there are 5 offensive lines that are worse than the Bears

 

[94c4lt1]

Duh!! Did you not see @Allen Robinson post above??!! Look at those EYES!!

Sometimes great vision is a curse. Monte wishes he could unseen that, judging by the immense pain in those peepers

 

[bamainatlanta]

The great Jordan Howard will likely be a platoon RB the rest of his career. His FA period next year will net him a lot of low budget offers. Montgomery will never be fast enough and he needs to hit the hole more decisively but he's getting about as much as he can behind this OL.

 

[KoreanBear]

Lol
This is some funny shit

 

[coolio]

I feel like it is too hard to evaluate him with this run blocking. It's like there's never a hole for him to go through.

 

[DC]

Y'all are fools! This dude is a baller! Make Sweetness proud AF!

 

[BaBaBlacksheep]

Way too slow for Howard comparison

I’m going old school with the ultra back Raymont Harris.

Raymont is “old school” now? Fuck I’m getting old if that’s the case.

 

[JUSTFINGWIN]

He is very average with zero explosion. We need to add more explosion to the RB position this off-season...someone with more speed and burst that can rip off big runs. Monty is more of a scatter back imo and Cohen is more situational and really not a RB.

No.

No.

Watch it happen

He's been trained all season to not trust his holes to be there. Cohen also. No surprise they hesitate to see all options when most often there are absolutely none. DM is far more than we've seen, but he's not Barry Sanders out of the gate.

 

[wazzupi]

I challenge anyone who says he doesn't have very good vision to find a single clip to prove he doesn't....

The o-line has been terrible there's no doubt about it but if he had any explosion he'd have rip off some nice runs already regardless. He's decent but just not a featured back imo.

 

[Spankypants]

@msadows

he’s way too fucking slow to be the main rb

but his pass blocking has vastly improved from beginning of the year

Well he's faster than Payton was, so......

 

[PolarBear]

The best Montgomery comparison is Marion Barber.

Great balance, power, feet and vision but limited athleticism which will limit him to being a very good RB but never a great one.
