Wow didn't realize what happened on that Ole Miss pick
Went back and watched it. Pretty sad. No effort at all to go after the ball carrier.

Honest Question: Why Didn't Heaps Succeed
TFL
3rd String
7/25/17 1:15pm
I don't think any fan can answer that.
Lip Gallagher
7/25/17 1:18pm
Soft. He couldn't play when real DL/LBs were given the green light and allowed
Yunit

He had a golden arm...

It was the first time he was criticized

I'd add: #3 A difficult offense that Doman was trying to bring in.

Weak as tissue paper. Great when untouched.
ALUF 1990

Yep. And BYU's locker room was harder to win over - especially with Mendenhall

Mentally soft and poor work ethic
Backcountry
7/25/17 1:20pm
This is my guess, but I don't know anything.
CopperLix
7/25/17 1:26pm
I can confirm...poor work ethic. Expected things to be handed to him.
Machiavelli
7/25/17 3:41pm
He bailed the summer between fresh and soph years. Lost the team.
Backcountry
7/25/17 4:03pm
Yep, heard the exact same thing. Dating can be very distracting..cant blame him
Machiavelli
7/25/17 4:06pm
I think his parents got divorced too.

No idea, but sure seems like his expectations of himself, the program, fans,
mosterlow
7/25/17 1:21pm
His over-hype was his biggest undoing.
mantis mutu
7/25/17 1:26pm
He got very scared of contact. Destroyed patience, reads, decision making
CobraKai
7/25/17 1:31pm
That was sad--& the coaches shoulda done more to nip that at the bud.
mantis mutu
7/25/17 1:33pm
I still remember that play when he literally tripped over himself trying not to

He got destroyed a couple of times early in his career. I remember
SandYFan
7/25/17 1:42pm
Didn't help that we were playing a 250 pound center and that our old wouldn't
Backcountry
7/25/17 1:44pm
Yeah, definitely a major factor. Just saying, he experienced nightmares
SandYFan
7/25/17 1:46pm
While I agree with you that the OL really struggled early, the C was 6'4" 318 lb

I was think about the Tushaus disaster. Wrong year
Backcountry
7/25/17 2:20pm
Oh yeah, that really was disaster alright.
cougfromcali
7/25/17 2:25pm
Just wow... not one of Houston Reynolds or Terrence Browns better moments.

7/25/17 1:54pm
All that does is show my my hatred for Bronco's defense. Good against bad teams
tebowned
7/25/17 4:05pm
I don't think that's fair. Broncos d was solid against everyone. Talent in
Backcountry
7/25/17 4:07pm
This is what it looked like.
QBarrister

He had the training but not the tools

#1 He got Trucked in his soph. season opener at Ole Miss and never recovered

Remember that WR screen we'd run with Apo? Throw was always hitting his ankles!
YouPuntYouDye
7/25/17 3:09pm
Interesting. Makes sense. Jordan Wynn was never the same after
TFL
7/25/17 3:28pm
his reaction to that hit was palpable, he seemed genuinely terrified.
towerman
7/25/17 4:50pm
He cowered & wet himself "AFTER" the play was over against Utah. The ref stared
Y4LYFE
7/25/17 8:06pm
He didn't want to be hit.
Everyman

I was at the Ole Miss game. He moved the team downfield, then threw an
rmsenior
7/25/17 3:46pm
My honest opinion: After a pretty good 2010, he got absolutely rocked...
cougfromcali
7/25/17 1:45pm
It was the GT game or Ole MIss. He got rocked and he came out dragging
Dr BlueFreak
7/25/17 2:24pm
This is the answer IMO. Bad O lines and just didn't want to take hits.
Bgash
7/25/17 5:23pm
Didn't have "IT". Wasn't a gamer. Played scared. But the main reason is
Gerald-DeGroot
7/25/17 1:49pm
Wasn't a football player. He was a skilled passer but lacked competitive fire
fulano

I watched him play in high school

I actually thought he had a pretty decent freshmen year, and I suspect that the

Chicken or the egg? D stopped run because of no threat of passes down the field

Anae left.
ag4cougs

Exactly
BradioHead

I feel like if Jake Heaps and Riley Nelson touched, the result would be

When coaches tell fans that a player needs "development" or "isn't ready to play
Lance71
7/25/17 2:54pm
He wasn't very good during games
nashty
7/25/17 3:45pm
1. He was thrown in too early. 2. He wasn't patient enough
Indy Coug
7/25/17 3:57pm
He'd pick one reciever and throw to him no matter what

Poor Athlete with marginal size but a pretty good gun

ALC

Unrealistic expectations/put in a terrible situation.
coug719
7/25/17 4:59pm
He had really terrible O lines and he was afraid of contact.
Bgash
7/25/17 5:21pm
Honest answer: I don't care anymore. He's been gone long enough.
SpiffCoug
7/25/17 5:37pm
What ever it was he had the same problems at Kansas and Miami.
Blue Coat

Fear, scared, selfish, millennial, wife, parents, personal trainer, Bronco, Anae
Y4LYFE
7/25/17 8:06pm
For my perspective
ALC
7/25/17 8:29pm
Soft. He couldn't play when real DL/LBs were given the green light and allowed
Yunit
7/25/17 9:36pm
Two reasons: 1.) Himself 2.) Doman
IronPotato
7/25/17 10:04pm
He was a good practice player. Not a game player.
Count Cougar

I think a better question is how did the guy get so much attention based only...

Nice analysis, thanks. My question why WAS the OL so bad in Doman's offense?
cougfromcali
7/26/17 10:03am
Mostly depth
shakarocks
7/26/17 11:20am
I agree 100% on #5
YouPuntYouDye

He's not a football player. He's a human JUGS machine

Apo looked so good early in his career as well. Such a bummer.
