I don't understand why Romney gets constantly downgraded for that win over BSU.

He played perfectly for the situation. Coaches called plays that he ran perfectly. If the coaches don't didn't know how to use the other QB's very well, that's not on Romney.

I say take the 2-3 great games from Hall if you can, then adapt. Play the best guy now.

I have the same concerns about Hall

We’d move to Romney who has already shown the ability to win games. We’d use that time to prep Conover just in case

Probably, but I have heard that the plan was to bring in Conover this year at some point regardless

Heard from who?

IIRC; Wilson came in because Mangum was underperforming

Agreed, and I meant to stress that he did execute well. But to say, as some

So, a good game manager. Good it. I agree.

Yes, which is more than BYU has had at QB before Wilson for a very long time.

It could be argued Ty Detmer was a consummate game manager, mostly.

I think a lot of top programs roll their dice on the vice versa oftentimes.

The OL returns 6 guys have have started multiple games, so better than average.

When you say Conover was “highly” recruited

BigYfan

You could say the same about Wilson

He was a Four Star

6/15/21 12:04am

For sure he was higher rated than Hall and Romney

BigYfan

That Saban flew out to Arizona to offer him makes him as good as a 5* in my mind

SinkingQuffa

6/15/21 8:31am

That is the definition of hyperbole

BigYfan

6/15/21 10:12am

Not more hyperbolic than the things said about Hall

2FarGone

6/15/21 11:07am

Hyperbole? I drew a comparison I meant to be taken literally.

SinkingQuffa

6/15/21 11:13am

You said he was a 5 star in your mind simply because Saban offered him

BigYfan

6/15/21 5:29pm

Yeah. The winniest college HC of the biggest program in the country.

SinkingQuffa

And here are his offers: he was highly recruited (notice the four stars)

I don't think that's unpopular at all.

You play the best player regardless

Right. That nonsense about possible re-injury would have unfairly cut short a

The thing about Hall is that he started 2 games, and got a concussion in each
