I'm surprised the concussion risk w/ Hall is not a bigger factor w/ the coaches.

There's a decent chance you could invest all your starter reps through fall into Hall, only to have him forced to hang up the cleats after game one.

The decision on who the starting quarterback is an easy one

If you don't think Jaren Hall is accurate, not sure what to tell you. All 3 of them are good players.

Yeah, I don't get that either. Hall is an incredible athlete and accurate. I

Hall will be QB1 in Vegas and as long as he is healthy will be all year long.

In this group we have people who don’t understand how to evaluate quarterbacks

They wouldn’t name a starter in spring ball

Hall is QB1, but Conover is close behind.

He was fairly efficient in his small sample size while facing many disadvantages and without preparation.

Hall was not an accurate passer in HS. He has not proven otherwise as of yet.

Data from HS? Lack of accuracy and slow processing are killers for a QB. Hope

He might be able to recover from another concussion but his NFL chances couldn’t

Hall's issue is concussions. He is a great talent and he will be a legendary QB

nybyblue

Maybe so but he has to win the job and he better get more accurate

travelcoug

Hall's accuracy is not a problem. He completed ~67% in 2019.

Limited playbook with the throws that he was best at

Did Grimes or ARod tell you that they limited the playbook for Hall?
