Good offseason chitchat

Arod and Kalani will make their pick based on all the right reasons. After all, it is their butts on the line. I don’t have a horse in the race, and I’ve seen seasons where we had to go 4-5 deep in the QB depth chart. Glad we have a lot of good options.

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.

molodyets

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

travelcoug

5/26/21 11:14am

They wouldn’t name a starter in spring ball

BenTheBoss

5/26/21 11:15am

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

travelcoug

5/26/21 11:17am

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

BenTheBoss

5/26/21 11:21am

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

5/26/21 11:21am

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.

Thrill

5/26/21 12:54pm

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

5/26/21 11:14am

Hall is an incredible athlete. Correct!!

travelcoug

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

5/26/21 11:29am

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

travelcoug

5/26/21 11:34am

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

Bostonblue

5/26/21 11:36am

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

5/26/21 1:15pm

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

Dangerous

5/26/21 6:11pm

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

5/27/21 9:38am

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

5/26/21 2:13pm

Curious where you heard this? Sounds made-up.

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

travelcoug

Funny how many armchair QBs are offended at this. I tend to respect thoughts

People are offended by him stating his opinions as fact without

So you're saying my opinions aren't fact? You've been talking to my wife it

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

scott715

5/26/21 1:07pm

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

PJMort

Spring practice

travelcoug

5/26/21 1:19pm

Gotcha. Did they post stats for the qbs, or were you lucky enough to watch? Really wish they’d held there spring game.

Jaren Hall had higher completion %; not sure how he's less accurate

Romney and Hall both have sat 2 yrs
