Obviously needs improvement in a few areas. Particularly decision making and in the category of fade passes thrown to the opponent. I’m very pleased at his improvement that I admittedly didn’t think was possible for him and this staff. I do worry he has plateaued but I think he has earned a chance to improve. With a competent OC and dedicated QB coach I think he could be pretty good. Since we don’t have that I think his ceiling is slightly above average game manager (which I would take honestly)

He’s become a game manager with a few gritty plays and a few bonehead plays as well. He and ARod did whatever the opposite of synergize is vs Kansas in what should have been a pretty easy win. Despite that it’s still been impressive IMO.

He has obviously improved quite a bit. Last year he was the worst BYU QB over the last 50 years in career pass efficiency (min 100 passes thrown). He’s now only the 12th worst, just ahead of Mangum and behind Steve Lindsley. Another year like this one and he likely gets into the Christian Stewart (the ultimate game manager) or Feterik territory.

For just 2024 he’s at 140.85, which is 50th in the ncaa. Not great but definitely an improvement and good enough.

His career number is now up to 127. That’s still bad. Compared to this season, it Would be 89th this year between Nebraska’s Raiola and Kentucky’s Vandagriff (two struggling former 5 stars, interestingly enough)
