With all due respect to his spectacular 2020 season, ZW is not one of the top-four QBs in BYU history. I think many of you may have 2020 goggles on. I agree that the conversation gets pretty muddled after the big three (McMahon, Detmer and Young), but I would put Hall, Bosco, Beck and M. Wilson above Zach in the list of QB greats.
Zach was a tremendous player, and incredibly efficient. No doubt about it. And again, his 2020 season was one for the books. He was stellar. He has a gift. And nobody can argue with the many evaluations by NFL scouts and experts.
However, since we're talking about all-time great BYU QBs here, you can't ignore the fact that Zach holds no records, didn't win any major awards, was never an all-American, didn't win as many games, didn't put up as big of numbers, and so on.
NFL consideration or potential, for me, holds very little weight in a discussion about BYU's all-time great QBs.
And all I'm trying to do by writing this is elevate some of our past greats. I'm not trying to tear down Zach in any way.

You’re saying he’s too good to be considered top 4, because he’s a top-2 draft pick. That’s messed up.
