I believe two things are true:

Booya Grandma

8:36am

Offensive play calling was mediocre too

Coug98

8:38am

That was true sometimes and sometimes it was really good

Beggar

8:39am

No, offensive execution was mediocre

SJS

8:43am

Disagree. I thought it was good overall, but definitely some bad moments. Better

HeyU

8:43am

Maybe at points during the season, but play calls last night were well scripted, just sadly the execution was bad on

CLCougar

8:52am

With a solid team you can win with a game manager.

Archaea

8:40am

He can't. This is his peak. He won't get better.

88Coug

8:43am

He won’t improve by leaps and bounds but he will be better

Archaea

8:43am

Just stop, this narrative is tiring.

NorCal_Coug

8:44am

It is reality. Accept or live in fantasy.

88Coug

8:51am

I accept you know very little about college football or sports in general…

NorCal_Coug

8:53am

He hasn't shown improvement and instead has gotten worse

88Coug

9:00am

NorCal_Coug

9:06am

lol

gaffer

8:44am

He won’t get better? That’s as laughable as saying he’ll win the Heisman.

WP17

8:51am

He’s only started one full season. plenty of QB’s improve in their 2nd

arcawley

9:05am

This. Jake wasn’t required to win games with his arm His running ability was big

Kolipoki

8:43am

Ugh. I don't want a game manager. Here's hoping he takes another step forward during the off season.

BYUnerd

8:45am

Two more things are true:

oxcoug

8:41am

I mostly agree. Jake has improved and he should continue to do so.

Booya Grandma

8:43am

I agree. I hope Jake was just John Beck from 2005. Ill take a 2006 JB all day

kansascougar

8:43am

Jake was nowhere near John Beck in 2005

deliciousmocha

9:01am

And one more…

Great point. No way that ball should have been thrown. Surrounded by CU players

WaybackCougar

Jake was better then mediocre. Not AA but good. The best byu qbs are seniors

runnincoug

Sadly all metrics show he is in fact mediocre to worse than mediocre

What's your definition of mediocre? He was top half in the big12. To me, good

I would say average to slightly above average
