......better decisions on when and where he passes and less INTs. He seemed to fix the fumbling issues he had earlier in the year.

Well, at least he recovered his own fumbles when he had them. Utah and Colorado

I dont get this sentiment, how are you calling the top of Jakes development?

CB has this fantasy that players make this huge leap their next year.

WJCougar

Jan 9, 9:08am

Retzlaff, Etienne, Keim, Marion, Kingston, Nelson, Mangelson, Glasker, Wall--all

Six Foot Seven

You have this fantasy that you know that he won't.

VenomFarmer

So what more do you think he can do?

WJCougar

Jan 9, 3:15pm

Why practice at all if improvement is impossible

ColonelMustard

Jan 9, 8:44pm

Never said he was bad...but honestly...what do you think he will improve.

WJCougar

Jan 9, 9:06pm

Go cheer for someone else.

Mechanics, height, deep ball accuracy, touch (fades, wheel routes).

BYU '80

It’s too late for his mechanics

arizonacougarfan

Accuracy and touch can absolutely be fixed lol. What even is that question?

Seriously

ColonelMustard

And situation management. He was better earlier at doing this.

2025 won't be Jake's last season. So not sure your comparisons are apt

Jan 9, 8:55am

I'm glad that's already been determined with 100% certainty

Indy Coug

Jan 9, 8:56am

Where do you think he is going?

kimdaddy35

Jan 9, 8:57am

Jake hasn't been granted more eligibility yet

WJCougar

Jan 9, 9:01am

I think the chances of him not being in school then are slim. But I could be wrong.

kimdaddy35

Jan 9, 9:06am

They granted Jr College players eligibility for next year but...

WJCougar

Jan 9, 9:30am

*not yet, we will see what happens.

kimdaddy35

Jan 9, 9:36am

Thus why I already said yet

Jake will be an RS Sophomore

2FarGone

Jan 9, 8:59am

Yea but if he has a good year next session, he's gone. Basically a Sr

Why? He’s not an nfl qb for sure

kimdaddy35

Jan 9, 9:15am

Wait is this a for sure thing for JC players now? Or just that one player

ColonelMustard

Jan 9, 8:46pm

Is there a list of QBs that fizzled, faded or didn't improve from Jr to Sr year?

byuod

Jan 9, 9:35am

Some were so good their junior years that they basically maintained in their senior years

Indy Coug

Jan 9, 9:46am

True! Wish that was our status.

byuod

Jan 9, 9:51am

Riley Nelson. And Tanner Mangum got progressively worse each year

arizonacougarfan

Jan 9, 9:53am

I wonder how many of those had thrown nearly 1400 passes after high school

BGRTHNUMEGO

We’ve already seen Jake play at a higher level during October.

ldssdl

Jan 9, 1:27pm

I think that part is on coaches like Arod to manage better...

icecougar

Jan 9, 2:14pm

Agreed. QB is the most important position in football. Why doesn't BYU have a

especially now that we're getting p4 money and the NCAA has loosened rules...
