Jake was carving up the Utes in Salt Lake City and should have been allowed to keep throwing and win that game. Even after that loss, I felt assured in his potential greatness. What the yewt happened to that qb?

When Jake announced he was transferring, the meltdown was epic. It is still the

...because we knew we'd have riley for 2 years. Situation now is better

It could have been worse

chodakus

4/17/14 10:23am

not sure how worse thatd be. at least coaches were more willing to bench heaps

El Joffrey

4/17/14 10:25am

If that had been the case, Lark would have been the guy

It did get worse.

Yes, we had to live through a two year freakish Bronco/Riley side show

LV Mike

4/17/14 2:06pm

Actually, it got better -- immediately. Not much better, but Heaps was worse.

YSMACK

How much of that was because of the ridiculous QB carousel

LV Mike

4/17/14 5:40pm

No. It's because CB had no idea how bad the OL was...

BluePete

4/17/14 10:25am

we had a bad OL AND a bad QB who should never have been invited to byu as a qb.

recruits don't pan out sometime. Can't fault the staff for jumping at a 5* QB

the qb I reference isnt jake in that post

El Joffrey

Why do you even need to point that out? Oh yeah...

Had Anae stayed, I honestly think Jake would have been much more successful.

4/17/14 10:26am

He certainly did show a lot of potential. Even that TD drive to end the half at

Sadly he was never bound for anything more than just "showing potential"

I don't know, but that blindside hit from the corner rush at the beginning of

He definitely has the arm, but does not do well with contact.

That Ute secondary was bad.

ask his publicist to explain it to you

after he threw 6 TD's vs. CSU in Fort Collins I thought we were in business

I guess it was only 4, but it seemed like 6

Mayor of Cougartown

4/17/14 10:54am

pretty crazy. I was so sure he'd be a heisman candidate and lead BYU into nation

Mayor of Cougartown

4/17/14 10:53am

Hopefully Mangum doesn't suffer the same fate

Dr T-bone

Tanner is a tough dude. Not soft. Jake was soft.

grosven

I admit I was completely wrong. Too bad for a promising prospect

WhiteKnight

What future? Jake Heaps was the best freshman QB in the history of BYU.

bvfcr

4/17/14 1:57pm

Compared to what other freshman qb's?

cougarbart

4/17/14 2:09pm

Compare to every other Freshman that ever started a game at BYU.

After an awful start to the year, he ended up throwing for 2,300 yards and

I know, but it has nothing to do with my post.

southernfriedcougar

4/18/14 11:14am

Did I upset you bro?

bvfcr

4/18/14 1:55pm

I know your point... And it's probably wrong. He wouldn't have had a very good

southernfriedcougar

4/18/14 2:04pm

He would have been better than Riley Nelson

bvfcr

4/18/14 2:11pm

Not a healthy Nelson. Tough to say but it's true.

southernfriedcougar

4/18/14 2:18pm

Yeah I think the argument for Heaps

cougarbart

4/18/14 4:54pm

Hill wouldn't have come to BYU if that were the case

darkcoug

4/17/14 2:23pm

While that is definately why Nelson became the starter

PolarisPrime

4/17/14 2:43pm

If you always felt that way, you were always wrong

chodakus

4/17/14 2:51pm

In your opinion.

PolarisPrime

4/17/14 3:28pm

Jake didn't play against great pass defenses either

Regardless of the schedule

I have the game agains New Mexico to base my opinion on.

PolarisPrime

4/17/14 3:41pm

You need to watch the USU game again if you think that is what happened after

darkcoug

4/17/14 3:49pm

All I know is that the real hero of that game was McKay Jacobsen

PolarisPrime

4/17/14 4:06pm

It wasn't a pretty pass

cougarbart

4/17/14 4:10pm

Actually I think it was exactly that kind of pass.

PolarisPrime

4/17/14 4:15pm

All I know is Jacobsen caught that ball in stride

cougarbart

4/17/14 4:17pm

The pass just sort of wobbled up into the nether regions

PolarisPrime

4/17/14 4:29pm

Jake was never very good. He got A LOT of run for four games.

SpiffCoug

4/18/14 11:33am

Jake was not the starter at any point in 2012.

bvfcr

4/17/14 2:59pm

Its a common assumption here

PolarisPrime

4/17/14 4:16pm

lol he came in and played against Idaho and NMSU!!!!
