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

El Joffrey

4/17/14 10:21am

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

LV Mike

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.

El Joffrey

4/17/14 10:26am

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

Cougarclaw

4/17/14 11:44am

the qb I reference isnt jake in that post

El Joffrey

4/17/14 11:46am

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

Not entirely true...I posted the following in December 2011 but was surprised

Wow thats funny.

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

bluescholar

4/17/14 10:26am

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

workindev

4/17/14 10:27am

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

IndependentGeorge

4/17/14 10:33am

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

Thrill

4/17/14 11:02am

That Ute secondary was bad.

ChopperDave

ask his publicist to explain it to you

4/17/14 11:46am

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

Mayor of Cougartown

4/17/14 10:51am

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

4/17/14 11:18am

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

grosven

4/17/14 12:26pm

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

WhiteKnight

4/17/14 12:59pm

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

PolarisPrime

Regardless of the schedule

cougarbart

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!!!!
