And the one on the last drive would have been a miraculous catch, at least an outstretched diving one.

I disagree here. This throw was Nunes best throw of the night by far. He put it right where it needed to be. Montgomery actually made the catch more difficult by slowing down when the ball was in the air. Even then, he had BOTH hands on the ball. That's a catch he has to make. It seems like on the long balls, Montgomery is having a lot of trouble tracking the ball...like when the ball is in the air, he just misjudges where it will land. This wouldn't have been the easiest catch but it certainly wouldn't have been a miraculous catch.

Montgomery had both hands on at least three of the long passes and not just fingertips. Ask any college receiver and they will say that they should make every catch where they get both hands on the ball.

I also find it interesting that there are people ripping Nunes to shreds but are defending Montgomery's drops. Would you view the Montgomery drops differently if Nottingham had made those throws? It feels like everyone wanted Nottinghamd to win the job because he had all the "upside". When he didn't win the position, it suddenly became a clear sign that Shaw just doesn't know what he's doing. So every marginal play that Nunes made was a clear sign that Shaw was wrong and Nottingham is better. I just wonder how everyone would have reacted if Nottingham had won the job and played exactly the way that Nunes played during these first four games. Would there still be the same vitriol directed at Shaw and Nottingham? 

It's amazing how much certainty there is that Nottingham is the better player than Nunes. The practices have been closed. I went to the Spring Game and there was nothing separating Nottingham and Nunes. I was down on the field and I really couldn't tell the difference between the two. I don't see how anyone can definitively say that Shaw made the wrong decision to start Nunes for these first four games with the information that we had heading into the season.
