Really bad end to season. Add in last year and he is horrible in November.

Yes, very disappointing that his final 4 games were all in his bottom 5 performances this season

mjmill

12/30/24 11:01pm

Correction: @ASU was a top 5 game for him. Nov/Dec all games poor except ASU

mjmill

I think he struggles in cold weather

Late season issues may be durability.

I think he and most players struggle when injured

QB development by AROD or J. Beck?

Sorry, glancing I was looking at it chronologically. Whoops.

How many fumbles did he have?

Magneto

12/30/24 11:15pm

This team had an incredible defense and very average offense

Per FEI - 35th offensively, 19th defensively.

He has room to grow. Lets hope he improves again

Jericho

12/30/24 11:23pm

I remember back in the day when Paul James would keep track of consecutive pass completions during games. I think…

Brisco

12/30/24 11:23pm

I think JR had 14 vs KState

Thanks. That’s impressive, obviously.

Yeah I would like to see how his ADOT compares to others

Hammurabi

12/30/24 11:33pm

Yeah, if he can complete over 60% next year we’ll be in great shape. I worry whether he’ll improve in the red zone—

Would loke to know how many drops the receivers had. Lassiter had at least one or two per game.

ManicBlue

12/30/24 11:48pm

I’m not sure we had more bad drops than usual. I could be wrong of course.

Brisco

12/30/24 11:50pm

What we did is play a much more difficult schedule than usual. No QB has done

To me we had 1-2 simple “look it into your hands” drops a game. More than

Lassiter was great at times, but definitely got ft ball version of the yips.

Mabuhay Coug

I usually saw one drop a game. But caught the tough ones.

Hammurabi

12/31/24 10:11am

Yup, seemed to be one early then he was money.

ManicBlue

12/31/24 10:32am

Hmm, that’s no bueno. 57.9% completion and only 1.6 TD to INT ratio? Yikes 😬

Coug-Ida

12/31/24 12:28am

2004 John Beck (same age and stage in BYU experience) was 55.4% and a 1.8 TD/INT

Interesting. Wouldn’t have thought Beck’s stats that low JR year. Gives me hope.

2004 was Sophomore year for Beck. He improved in 2005 as a Junior and

He’s a riverboat gambler. More slants, swing passes to RB. TE over the middle …

Yes, or - Steve Young's term - a "swashbuckler."

Ask other coaches if they enjoyed playing against him? He has a quick release,

Hammurabi

12/31/24 8:37am

He shouldn’t take so many shots downfield. He’s very inaccurate downfield

BYU '80

12/31/24 6:08am

Earlier in the year he was solid deep. Wonder if injury affected his long ball?

Hammurabi

12/31/24 6:13am

Not sure but after the start of the year he couldn’t hit anybody long

He was still acccurate on quick posts and deep outs, but struggled on go routes
