My impression is that Nunes is a better deep thrower than short passing. For whatever reason, the jitters and adrenaline don't seem to affect him when throwing 30 yards down field as much as when he's throwing to a guy 10 yards away.

They appear overthrown because Montgomery's stride gets shorter when he starts looking at the ball. If you think about the long passes he has caught/missed in the last couple years, think about how many caused him to fall to the ground:

1. 2011 Flea flicker against USC - caught the ball but should have been a TD
2. 2012 Duke game - caught the ball but fell over
3. 2012 USC game - ball was right in the hands but he missed and then tripped
4. 2012 Washington game - fell down while trying to catch two deep balls

The ESPN commentators got it right on the second one - the pass was perfect and Montgomery misjudged it.

This doesn't excuse Nunes' missed passes, but if Ty had caught either of those the discussion would be different.
