the game and move the sticks. Wilson has great physical skills and potential but is often too risky and tries to carry too much of the load himself. His mistakes are very costly.

Who is going to start at QB next year? How close will the competition be?

buckeyecougarguy

1/8/20 12:25pm

Wilson. Not really that close.

reagan21

1/8/20 12:27pm

Wilson's decision making in crucial moments of a game is something I am having a hard time getting over.

TheLoneCougar

1/8/20 12:29pm

I’m in the same boat.

PessimisticCB

1/8/20 12:29pm

He can be a drive killer.

Turn and Cough

1/8/20 12:30pm

Not just a drive killer, but a game killer. His turnovers and mistakes led to at least three losses last season.

To add salt to the wound

Blue2thebone

I hear he grew up a Ute fan

SpiffCoug

1/9/20 2:42pm

did not improve from year 1 to 2 which is the biggest concern

BigYfan

1/8/20 12:38pm

He wasn’t healthy so it’s hard to say what will happen

puntersarepeople

1/8/20 12:39pm

He was healthy last year at BSU, this year at Toledo, SDSU, and Hawaii.

TheLoneCougar

1/8/20 12:51pm

Relatively. Think his thumb was still bothering him some at end but that wasn't the issue in those games.

Soupie

1/8/20 12:53pm

He never had lots of reps. BSU was third statt

puntersarepeople

1/8/20 1:01pm

Third start or not, that was the beginning of showing signs of bad decision making and it extended into this year.

TheLoneCougar

1/8/20 1:03pm

I don’t disagree

puntersarepeople

1/8/20 1:11pm

Well to be sure we should give him 2 more years. I'm sure there will be good...

icecougar

1/8/20 7:36pm

His thumb shouldn't impact his decision-making.

Dangerous

1/8/20 12:58pm

Reps

puntersarepeople

He had no offseason work; it shouldn’t have been a susprise

RE: Lol

Fakalata

1/8/20 8:30pm

This year the list of excuses why he didn't improve were pretty long...

icecougar

1/8/20 7:30pm

He didn’t get hardly any reps from Potato Bowl to Utah

puntersarepeople

1/8/20 12:38pm

I certainly hope so! But decision making isn't necessarily about reps.

TheLoneCougar

1/8/20 12:52pm

It’s all about reps. Obviously you can still make bad decisions with reps

puntersarepeople

1/8/20 12:57pm

Romney had many fewer reps than Wilson and his decision making was better

The Chelsea Dagger

Wrong

wrong about what? that he had fewer reps than ZW or that he had better decision

Jaren Hall, I hope. It will be an interesting spring and fall camp, that's4sho

AntiSNOT

I just don't see them going away from Wilson unless he is falling apart...

PJMort

1/8/20 12:31pm

I count critical turnovers at the goal line and pick-6's that lose games for us

Dangerous

1/8/20 12:32pm

I would agree with that... but game 1 will be Wilson.

PJMort

1/8/20 12:51pm

I wouldn't be surprised to see Hal transfer unless he realizes there is 0 chance

reagan21

1/8/20 12:35pm

I would be less surprised if Hall gave up football after 2 concussions in 2

Shihan

1/8/20 2:20pm

My biggest question is his throwing accuracy and strength

puntersarepeople

1/8/20 12:36pm

So much of that is reflected in the decision making and failing to use the rest of the team's assets.

Soupie

1/8/20 12:43pm

He needs to get comfortable throwing. Start from the bottom and rework.

puntersarepeople

1/8/20 12:47pm

I liked Hall the best out of the bunch!

jpal1397

1/8/20 12:55pm

He looked good but still pretty raw

puntersarepeople

1/8/20 12:59pm

No way! Wilson runs like a QB but Hall runs like a RB. Big difference to me.

jpal1397

1/8/20 8:13pm

Wilson doesn’t shy away from hits

puntersarepeople

1/8/20 8:18pm

How many times has he tried to leap over people? Against Hawaii it cost us a TD.

Soupie

1/8/20 8:31pm

I don’t mind when the QB sticks the ball over the shoulders of a guy standing on

puntersarepeople

1/8/20 9:01pm

That's not what he did and you know it.

Soupie

1/8/20 9:09pm

Pretty close actually

puntersarepeople

1/8/20 9:17pm

and that's part of the problem...

icecougar

1/9/20 11:39am

Was that the qb from Baylor, who went out with another concussion in the game?

PJMort

1/8/20 1:00pm

I would say it's close. Wilson was a bottom third NCAA QB this year.

Dangerous

1/8/20 12:31pm

Yeah it’s that clear cut. Cuz he’s been so lights out and all...

Gerald-DeGroot

1/8/20 1:05pm

...because coaches are blinded by his "Mormon Manziel" hype...

icecougar

1/8/20 2:18pm

He will get coached up by our elite coaching staff. He’ll be fine.

Gerald-DeGroot

1/8/20 6:17pm

Romney. Close

BlueFrog

1/8/20 12:30pm

I could see Romney taking over at some point. I think Wilson starts game 1.

PJMort

1/8/20 12:32pm

i also think Romney will improve a bunch

BlueFrog

1/8/20 12:33pm

Wilson will probably throw a bunch of INT's against Utah and then they'll

I honestly think it might of been Hall. We just didn't get to see him healthy.

Again. I'm talking about decision making not the act of throwing it. That's only part of being QB.

“Make every throw” refers to throwing ability and not decisions
