I really don't think he'll stay healthy; concussions are a menace

Conover and Romney are plenty athletic, too. We won't see Taysom-type plays from them like we could from Jaren, but they will not be afraid to pull the ball and run.

I really like Hall, and hope he wins the spot.

I’m pretty much on the same page.

Some have said Conover would transfer if he's not the starter, but I'm not

With Hall’s injury history, Conover is bound to get some PT even if he’s not the

Would Hall transfer if Conover wins the spot?

I doubt it. Probably would play baseball again.

Probably. All I can say is that I know that from a direct source.

I hope Hall wins it too, partly because he’s patiently paid his dues and partly

I think starting Hall is the smart move. Dual threat will hide some of the production losses from Wilson and co.

Playing an injury prone dual threat QB is a big risk

If Conover and Hall are close, you start Conover

Let's see if he truly is concussion prone. It seems once you get the 1st one you

A pure drop back passer is a liability? I disagree. Regardless, you act like Conover, Romney and Sol-Jay are immobile.

Conover rushed for 250 yards, 5.3 YPC his sr year. He's mobile enough, like Wilson.

The baseline is the prevailing dual threat vs pro style labels. Conover is

Forzaitalia

Those labels are dumb and outdated

How so? The guys who evaluate QBs for a living rely on the distinction. I get

Kids who can't run when need to don't play quarterback anymore.

You don't know JC than. His SPARQ is in the Elite level and ran track.

He's saying that in support of Conover

It's no the first time my foot is in my mouth. Sorry man!

Wilson was also listed as a pro-style QB.

molodyets

3/2/21 12:12pm

Exactly. The labels are dumb. Wilson wasn't considered a "mobile" qb coming out of highs school. And yet

That's not why they're rated higher than Jones, first and foremost.

Aaron also said last year when they were deciding on the qb that accuracy and decision making were the top things

Rise Against

Yes he did. Which is a different from his previous years comments on QB's.

I think two years ago he said "we run the QB" and it was also taken

Romney rushed for 884 yards, 10 TDs his senior season, double Hall's rushing

Hall is a significantly better athlete than Romney, stats aside

You may be right, but if we're not going to use actual stats and past

If Hall is the better athlete then why don't his stats show that?

We don't have any pure drop-back passers in the sense you seem to mean it

Coop

3/2/21 11:42am

It's only a liability when the QB is a poor decision maker.

Agree with others on this, and to add on the concussion topic

Lip Gallagher

I agree. He’s been labeled as such but it’s way too early to say he’s

The Hall family has had horrible struggles trying to remain healthy

BYU Fan

That’s why you have good backups and give them enough reps to stay ready.

I'mBatman

3/2/21 12:28pm

But if you know the "starter" may only play 25% of the season?

You play the best guy

This is the play JH got a season ending concussion.

Wow. Agreed....that's "the" hit? Doesn't look like a bad shot at all. 🙁

Velocity on the ball as it comes out is visibly better with Conover/Hall.

Conover leads his receiver better
