Jaren is an excellent QB. Follow up question: does he have or need “the fire”?

He's better than Max, and isn't a hothead...

yeah, I sometimes think about the 4th Q of the 2008 Utah game...

I believe you mean the Utes National Championship year. And yes, Max lost it.

this is the one game if I had the Time Stone and could go back and change...

I think it depends on your personality. Forcing your personality to be different seems counter-productive

haha...mentioning Beck in your post reminded me of when John broke down crying..

I felt so bad for that young man. His 2006 season redeemed it, but it required

Smoldering intensity. He's a cross between Zach and Baylor, best of both imo...

For all you eyerollers... here's a perfect example.

Sure, because a "fiery" QB never makes a mistake or deals with a bad play call

What does angry or not angry have to do with the read on that play? The nicest guy in the world could still have thrown

This is a perfect example of why a "fiery competitor" would lose that matchup.

To me that play was just a mental mistake, not something demeanor-related. He

You don’t become as good as he is without a “competitive drive” just because he

How vocal or expressive you are does not indicate your competitiveness

Jaren isn't a game manager

Playing like that would have lost us the Baylor game, and multiple P5 games last

You watch a lot of sports movies and think they're realistic, don't you?

I guess we’ll just have to settle for his superb record and stats, unfortunately

You’re confusing “competitive” with “aggressive or impatient”

Go back and watch the drive just before halftime vs Baylor...

I wish he had grit like Riley Nelson and just force it if nothing comes up.
