It seems like most people expect Hall to be our starting QB. I’m a little

Hall should be front runner but he gets concussed easily. Romney was a superb

idacoug

3/3/21 8:47am

If he’s the starter, he’ll be running

BenTheBoss

3/3/21 8:48am

Has Hall ever had a better performance than Romney v Boise State in 2019? Maybe

gwalker

3/3/21 8:48am

They both played against the same defense against USU, and Hall had the better

DieHarder

3/3/21 8:49am

Absolutely.

Jeffacka

The game plan, including situational gadget plays was a BIG part of BSU win

fulano

3/3/21 8:55am

...which was custom-tailored to Romney's strengths and ability to execute plays

icecougar

3/3/21 10:19am

Which is even more important with Romney's limited ability.

Jeffacka

3/3/21 10:26am

Or it didn’t work as well bc we had put that play on tape?

This and the defense was awesome for 3 quarters. I like Baylor, but that was a team win.

SoBlueitHurts

3/3/21 4:54pm

Defense awesome? Impossible. Was Tuiaki out sick?

3/4/21 8:20am

I did say three quarters

SoBlueitHurts

3/4/21 1:20pm

So the player who got the starts reps in practice played better than the player

ldssdl

3/3/21 11:00am

Watch both games where he got concussed

idacoug

3/3/21 8:50am

He didn't look that great against USF. They were a terrible team and BYU

ldssdl

3/3/21 11:01am

You’re too worked up about a game played 2 years ago.

ZacSeljaas'Stache

I didn’t say anything that disagrees with what you did. I will be happy with

gwalker

3/3/21 9:25am

I really like Romney, but I still put into perspective what he did against BSU

CaliWG

3/3/21 9:01am

Also, let's be honest, Baylor didn't look great in the games he played last year

JKLCoug

3/3/21 9:12am

I think Grimes had an amazing game against Boise state. Romney was good, but don’t see him as having executed better

But why though? How is Hall a better option than the other QBs?

Iron Coug

3/3/21 8:53am

Why "should" Hall be the front-runner? Romney started more games, didn't he?

BleedCougarBlue2

3/3/21 9:14am

Uh, why should he be?

3/3/21 10:35am

Romney was a very serviceable QB, but I think most realize that his ceiling is

RH84025

3/3/21 8:48am

I can agree only if "mobility" is isolated to running/rushing ability...

BYUFam1

3/3/21 8:56am

Romney had more than twice the rushing yards and TDs In HS than Hall did. He was

Luckily the starter will not be chosen by CB and the coaches that work with

JKLCoug

3/3/21 11:04am

I've know idea going forward but Romney was a better runner by 2x statistically

dazcoug

3/3/21 2:42pm

Film is way more reliable than stats

JKLCoug

I'm wondering if you read this article

warp

3/4/21 8:46pm

I’m not saying Baylor can’t run, I’m saying Hall runs better

JKLCoug

3/5/21 5:49am

Romney suffers because he's not as skilled

braddahmike

3/3/21 8:49am

BYU needed Romney so bad 2 years ago. We needed a serviceable QB that rarely

idacoug

3/3/21 8:52am

We might need that in 2021 too, with a pretty green team and tougher schedule

fulano

3/3/21 8:58am

That's a little too general for me. What skill(s) are you talking about?

SinkingQuffa

3/3/21 1:10pm

the interesting thing about the BSU game is Romney wasn't very efficient

Littlerich

3/3/21 8:50am

Hall is great, but I don't get the obsession.

Iron Coug

3/3/21 8:51am

There is no obsession that I have seen. It’s in your head.

idacoug

3/3/21 8:52am

You're not reading the posts. Borderline obsession.

BleedCougarBlue2

3/3/21 9:17am

I feel there is more obsession with Conover

LakeshowCougs

3/3/21 8:56am

We must get on Cougarboard at different times. I see lots of "Hall should be QB1

I don’t see how that equates “obsession.”

You're right - I may be reading too much into the threads. That being said, post

Iron Coug

IMO, 2019 is completely irrelevant at this point.

Baylor’s arm strength is limited, always has been. Lots of QBs have excelled at

3/3/21 11:41am

Hall is the best talent in the QB room, but the competition is a true toss up

donnerstag

3/3/21 9:03am

I think you put too much stock in athleticism when defining talent

coug10278

3/3/21 9:17am

Hall also has the strongest arm of the three

donnerstag

3/3/21 9:21am

I do not see any evidence that Hall is the best talent. What are you looking at?

Iron Coug

3/3/21 9:50am

Hall has the biggest arm and the best mobility of the three

donnerstag

3/3/21 10:04am

are you SURE he Hall is the most mobile?

warp

3/3/21 2:51pm

1st half w/Jaren @ QB vs USU was the best half of BYU offensive football in '19

Forzaitalia

3/3/21 12:31pm

Hard to dispute this

JKLCoug

3/3/21 2:25pm

What does that even mean he's the best talent?

3/3/21 10:37am

In terms of arm strength & speed, maybe.

SinkingQuffa

3/5/21 9:04am

My gut says Hall and if he gets hurt Conover if BYU keep both. Backup is Romney.

Fdnman

3/3/21 9:28am

It could easily play out that way.

dilbert

3/3/21 9:59am

Romney didn't look great playing with freshmen this year, so people think meh

Coop

3/3/21 9:33am

If we have a good pass protection OL then Romney maybe our best QB.

ParentingNotForSissy

3/3/21 10:16am

Romney is plenty athletic; he was a WR in 2018

Coop

3/3/21 10:51am

He felt less mobile and a pocket passer.He may have some mobility upside coming.

ParentingNotForSissy

3/3/21 11:33am

When he had a broken foot, or when he was in mop-up duty?

Coop

3/3/21 12:33pm

Just learning about the broken foot.

ParentingNotForSissy

3/3/21 5:16pm

I want to believe in Romney..

AltTabbins

3/3/21 10:17am

I have absolutely zero faith in Hall to stay healthy. Two concussions in two

ldssdl

3/3/21 11:05am

Sadly, I agree.

lightmann

3/3/21 11:40am

Remember all the CBers clamoring to bench Wilson last year in favor of Hall or Romney?

2FarGone

3/3/21 11:09am

Hall in the first half at Utah State in 2019 was arguably the best half of QB

Kavorka

3/3/21 12:06pm

Pretty sure Hall will be the guy if he is healty.

If things are about equal with all 3 quarterbacks the starting job will go to

lightmann

Romney in a landslide.

Zach Morris

3/4/21 1:43am

I’m expecting Romney to be the eventual starter.

3/4/21 7:52am

I recall the BYU offense being pretty unremarkable against Boise State

BYU Fan

3/4/21 9:12am

They got rolling in the third quarter. Good balance, but some favorable field position too.

SoBlueitHurts

3/4/21 1:21pm

I think its somewhere in between. More like Detmer to Walsh.
