Hall is the best BYU QB since Detmer.

I was a kid when Detmer played. I have flashes but no solid memories.

I remember Walsh, Sarkisian, Feterik, Beck, Max, Mangum, Taysom, Wilson and now Hall...of all those QBs...Hall is the QB I'm simply most confident in making the correct play. He's our best QB in 30 years IMHO. He's honestly playing as well as a QB can play. It's beautiful to see. We should pack LES for the remaining games just to watch him play. It's a thing of beauty.

Hall is the best BYU QB since Detmer.

Now that it seems he has mastered the deep ball, I could agree.

His deep ball has been a thing of beauty. Am I remembering correctly that Zach's

He's 36th in passing efficiency. Stop it.

Wait - I thought the coaches last year were having him throw it short on purpose

Not a large enough sample yet to make such a declaration.

Acorn

I hear you. I'm not saying he's had the best career of any QB in the last 30

macdizzle

Last 30 days you mean?

HairyCougar

Agreed

Wow. That's a bold statement.

He is fantastic. The two QB years that rival this year's version of Jaren are

diluigifan

9/27/22 10:19am

Sark's 96 year too. But it's probably those 4 stretches that are the best.

macdizzle

Yes. You are correct.

diluigifan

If John Beck had this receiving core.. that would have Been incredible

Julius Pepperwood

True. Our receiving core is fantastic right now.

He very well could be, but I'll wait until he is completely done at BYU before

Schrodizzy

9/27/22 10:20am

i still don't have the confidence in him that I had with Wilson, Max, Beck (Sr. yr) or Sark. By the end of the year

lightmann

9/27/22 10:30am

Jaren plays so well against tough, P5 teams.

diluigifan

9/27/22 10:44am

This is a good point…I never felt confident with Zach in Big games, tbh

Back2Blue

9/27/22 12:24pm

Hall was good but I never really thought he was on the level of '96 Sark or '06 Beck. He had a better career though

Non-mo Coug

9/27/22 10:50am

He was better in some games than others, but he never had "bad" games. He played with confidence all of the time.

lightmann

9/27/22 12:19pm

Which Hall are you talking about? Max had a horrible Utah game.

CougaRR4L

9/27/22 12:27pm

In 2008, but made the big plays to win in 2007 and 2009

Polemic

9/27/22 12:36pm

Loved him and he was fantastic but "never" had bad games is not true.

CougaRR4L

9/27/22 12:44pm

Change "never" to "rarely."

lightmann

9/27/22 3:25pm

I’ve heard some complain that he doesn’t read the RPO well

Spocougar

9/27/22 10:31am

I agree. He hasn’t made the right reads in the RPO this year for whatever reason. AROD has said as much.

9/27/22 12:42pm

Pitches? Do you mean from the speed option or RPO? RPO usually involves a hand off or a pull back to a pass.

The illegal receiver down field call in the WY game would be an example.

I'd rank him behind Romney but ahead of Wilson

Love Jaren, but that's disrespectful.

Lifer

9/27/22 10:44am

He's definitely a great game manager. Don't jump on me for using that term.

mudpupper

9/27/22 10:56am

Wilson seemed faster in 2020 than Jaren is now

arizonacougarfan

9/27/22 4:27pm

IMO WIlson and Beck were two best. Hall has a chance to be as good or better

I’m realizing it is so hard to compare QBs and RBs at BYU across generations

Most electric, I agree. Best season by a BYU RB? I will Tyler from last year.

We will agree to disagree here. Doak Walker winning season. 8 yds per carry.

diluigifan

Not enough info. Right now, Beck, Wilson, Sark, Doman would all have my trust

Doman? Are you kidding me? He was one of our worst.

richvan

I wouldnt compare Hall to Detmer, I think he is a better, more athletic version of Senior Year John Beck.

JohnnyComeLately

9/27/22 11:53am

Agreed. Hopefully we as fans can appreciate what we're witnessing Jaren do

9/27/22 12:01pm

He’s more athletic. He’s not a better passer.

mvtoro

9/27/22 12:09pm

He is not far off actually. Career wise Beck has a 141.3 passer rating, Hall has a 158.7. Beck's Senior Year was 169.1

JohnnyComeLately

9/27/22 12:21pm

All true. Again, I’m not trying to diminish Hall, and the stats show he’s doing great things. There’s nothing wrong with

mvtoro

9/27/22 1:14pm

That's debatable. Jaren has been completing 71.5% of his passes this year and

9/27/22 12:22pm

Of course it’s debatable. We’re here debating it. I’m not saying Jaren isn’t great or even that his stats aren’t better.

mvtoro

9/27/22 12:50pm

Ah yes, the ole eye test.

Sound good, bro. No one is saying they are the same. In case you missed the OP he was comparing Hall to Detmer.

I didn’t make an appeal to authority. I just explained where I’ve watched them and specifically said you *don’t* have

mvtoro

9/27/22 5:08pm

I would bet that Jaren Hall gets drafted similar to where Beck was drafted, but that he will have a better career.

JohnnyComeLately

9/27/22 6:25pm

Bro, you keep adding bonus arguments that I haven’t touched. “Better passer”. I already said Hall is more athletic. And

mvtoro

9/27/22 6:44pm

It is debatable, or at least comparable. Statistically he has a better completion percentage, fewer interceptions.

JohnnyComeLately

9/27/22 6:48pm

Beck's QB rating was 169 his senior year. 2nd in the nation.

We are discussing Beck's senior year.

Look, I already gave my stats to show who Hall most resembled. How about you tell me who you think he is most like and

Yeah, ironically I played all through highschool with JB in Mesa, but moved to Spanish Fork where I got to see Hall in

mvtoro

He's not better than John Beck's senior year yet

HairyCougar

9/27/22 2:13pm

We… agree…?

mvtoro

9/27/22 3:23pm

McMahon is still by far the best college QB I have ever seen play

mkscougar

9/27/22 12:36pm

Wish I could have had that privilege. I’m Walsh on.

9/27/22 12:51pm

Yep. Young, Sark, Detmer, Hall, Hall were all excellent. Mac and Beck were best

9/27/22 2:14pm

Steve Young as a senior was among the best.

lightmann

9/27/22 3:31pm

He was, but in my 40 years of following BYU, McMahon was #1 and Beck #2 imo

9/27/22 3:46pm

Such a microcosm of CB...an unsolicited overreaction.

Elvis

Detmer threw a lot of picks, but it didn’t take

Hyrum in Houston

9/27/22 1:16pm

Wilson was better

Blue2thebone

9/27/22 1:27pm

Way back in 2021 we had a better QB

Hill4Heisman

9/27/22 1:35pm

Hall might be the best at making the safest place, but that’s different

9/27/22 1:42pm

I'm more confident in Hall taking care of the ball than any past QB.

9/27/22 1:54pm

WHAT?? Hall is 36th in the nation in passing effiency

HairyCougar

9/27/22 2:10pm

Still a little early for that.

BleedCougarBlue2

9/27/22 2:14pm

Wilson was the #2 pick in the NFL draft.

9/27/22 2:16pm

Steve Young would have been #1, but he went USFL, so your point is correct

TheRowdy

Still think Wilson had better field vision and release but he’s dang good for sure!

Jaren is the best leader I would say
