Blue chunks Walk-on

And you are going to be world class. It just comes down to who loves throwing the ball and studying enough to put in the focused hours...Zach just reminded us what it takes.

I agree 100%. Not sure other guys can replicate his obsessive nature. Romney

Don't all of our players already do two years of full-time football training on their missions?

I sure hope so; that said, I think most people already understand what it takes

I think the difference is commitment

wilsdad

Fair enough. But my point is that many of these players already are committed

Also, Zach Wilson had natural ability that was apparent as a freshman, but yeah

But Zach struggled in 2019. Struggled against Utah, Toledo.....then against...

A broken thumb and shoulder surgery recovery will do that to you.

He didn't struggle against Utah as a frosh, well, not in the first half at least

Sale

He did as a Sophomore though.

WJCougar

while he wasn't healthy and had missed a full offseason.

Belboz

Wasn’t that considered Utah’s best team ever???

Many many many freshmen look pretty good and don’t develop like Zach did...

Pretorian

He looked as good as any freshman QB that I can remember at BYU, however.

Belboz

3/5/21 5:14pm

Better then Mangum or Heaps... they both had very strong initial showings...

It’s the same with youth sports. Now if you’re not playing club you’re behind

Not really true. Once you get to high school that stuff mostly doesn't matter.

I think it also reflects on the coaches. Want to put kids in the NFL. Need

One of the things that can be negative with returned missionaries is

Criddle has talked about this a couple of times and I think it's real.

All-in committment is a great way to say it.

Since the 90s when missions became commandment most BYU high draft

This information is not incompatible with my comment. We have, what,

oldrugger

If I was really competitive I would do whatever I could because Only chance

Bobmarleyjr

3/7/21 10:34pm

One more question, why do you think a mission wasn't a commandment until

oldrugger

3/7/21 1:38pm

I always considered it encouragement but nothing similar to Benson in 87.
