like this more than those of folks who go to bat for their favorite pick and ignore other points of view.

I've stated more than once that I don't care who starts - let Arod pick the best.

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

Yea, You wouldn’t want that stability and leadership going throughout the summer

travelcoug

Yeah, you would want competition and teammates pushing each other until Sep. 4

They didn’t even name Zach the starter until weeks into fall camp

He did struggle a bit his junior year, ask cougarboard

He was pretty good his junior year. #2 pick

So grateful that we have you to tell us. It's not like anybody else here has discussed this with players/coaches.

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 is an incredible athlete. Correct!!

My pick is the one who can run the whole playbook

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

Thx. I'm in the Jaren camp. I hope J Beck has helped improve that troubling stat

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

Bostonblue

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

5/26/21 11:34am

okay, but even if he eventually recovers, you wouldn't be able to play him for a

Bostonblue

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

nybyblue

5/26/21 11:43am

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

travelcoug

5/26/21 12:15pm

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

OlanchoCoug

Limited playbook with the throws that he was best at

travelcoug

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

You should watch the first half of USU game and come back and report. He made

This just isn't true. Watch the game, he was making all kinds of throws

We don't really know what other issues might be. Sample size is too small.

“Run the offense” isn’t in any way saying that they are as accurate as the most

Can we all chip in and send all 3 to Beck for the summer?

I'm puzzled as to where you got the info that Conover has more turnovers than Romney. Did I miss something? Or are you
