He would have been better if he was in the right offense and stayed there.

cougaman Intervention Needed

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't he have 4 different OCs? Doman (premission) Anae, Detmer, Grimes with a different QB coach every time?

He looked pretty good in Anae 2.0

What made Zach so much better?

FOMO!!!

2 things that my untrained eye noticed

KingDave

Do you think training with JoBeck helped with the decision making?

wilsdad

1/27/21 7:51am

IMO this was his biggest weakness going into this season. That concern also disappeared quickly

Soupie

Yes

KingDave

1/27/21 7:55am

I think having the same OC and same system for 3 years made a huge difference

I wonder if Mangum could have been pretty good with the right coaching and if he

He had Detmer for two years

Right, but with his greyshirt he was in the program for 5 years, and the OL was

His greyshirt was pre mission and I don’t really think who was the coach was a

1/27/21 3:12pm

Either way, coaching instability and injuries were a huge problem for him. Not

As part of your two things, Beck said he reads defenses better than

oldrugger

Taysom had so many injuries

puntersarepeople

1/27/21 7:42am

Yeah, his off-season focus was always getting healthy

Coop

And he appears to have taken a leap as a passer since college too

puntersarepeople

1/27/21 8:50am

His passing improved most between 14-15 I thought

1/27/21 11:10am

He had no time to prep for 2016 with a new offense

Coop

Shoulder surgery helped in 2 ways.

Does anyone know if the injury was similar to Bree’s shoulder injury ?

He had "it" as a freshman. He can just ball out.

Turnpike Lane

His accuracy has been incredible

NacoCoug

Confidence and aggressiveness. Slinging the ball. Arm talent and arm angles

He listened to Tony Robbins on all of his long California rides and jumped into

Schedule

Yergensen

Except he was significantly better this year as evidenced by his NFLstock rising

puntersarepeople

Can always count on you to show up Sunshine.

Yergensen

1/27/21 12:20pm

How is his NFL stock skyrocketing invalid criteria?

puntersarepeople

1/27/21 1:32pm

At best it's a dependent variable.

Yergensen

1/27/21 2:54pm

I agree that schedule has played a part in showing how good he is

puntersarepeople

1/27/21 3:33pm

I think he got better but your overall point stands

shakarocks

1/27/21 11:21am

I was thinking of a thumbs up based on your subject line...then I read the body your post. Stick with “Schedule”

Hank Rearden

Certainly, the schedule helped, but even in those games, how many times was

oldrugger

1/28/21 10:57am

Love Zach, but receivers who don't drop passes helped him big time .

HenderCoug

1/27/21 11:02am

Zach this season was like he was in HS. Very accurate and throwing down field

SoValleyCOUG

1/27/21 11:04am

Superior mechanics to those others. Zach can throw off his back foot further and more accurate than the others.

Hank Rearden

1/27/21 12:51pm

He's always had elite accuracy. We saw that his FR season. After that

Ash

1/27/21 1:41pm

He didn't have elite accuracy as a sophomore, although he certainly made

puntersarepeople

1/27/21 1:47pm

The story is that was due to his injury, which was probably the case.

Ash

This is correct

Living right on and off the field? I understand that is when the magic happens.
