I remember watching his dad in person. That was a good backfield. Him and Jamal.

I confess I don't remember his dad playing. Was buried then early in my career.

He came out of the gates absolutely on fire. 100 plus yard in his first 2 games.

Small for a FB, little fumble-prone his 1st year but other than that, nice #s!

He was almost more third down back, than fullback.

Jaren is a playmaker. Baylor is a manager. Both very good.

The stats & ability to read as a passer didn't back that up 2 years ago.
SinkingQuffa

What stats are you referencing?
wjman11
6/18/21 11:44am
Completion percentages, total yards, interception/td ratio, running efficiency.
SinkingQuffa
6/18/21 11:47am
I would argue Jaren's stats are better. But like I said, we're splitting hairs.
DraperCoug22
6/18/21 12:50pm
I totally agree. I just think Romney's being undersold by some.

His handling of their blitzing was very commendable for a first-game starter.

For me, I just like how he looked in game. It could simply be a bias on my part

Jaren Hall's 1st half against USU shows what he can do.
Jeffacka
6/18/21 11:47am
And Romney's play and wins do not show what he can do?
BleedCougarBlue2
6/18/21 11:49am
He's fine, but I don't see him ever being the reason the team wins.
Jeffacka
6/18/21 11:52am
2nd half of Liberty game shows as much.
Turnpike Lane
6/18/21 12:03pm
No, it doesn't.

It's out of fear that Romney might look really good.

Romney throws better than the #2 draft pick?
Jeffacka
6/18/21 12:03pm
If true, why’d Romney end up 3rd string twice?

When was Romney 3rd string twice? Sure wasn't 3rd string last year.

JH significant playing time: USF - one game, lost. USU - one half, hurt, out.

That half against USU was beautiful.

100% agree on that, but it was only one half. Key word: "only".

Was the best QB in that game. His skill players were clearly not on BSU's level.
SinkingQuffa
6/18/21 4:22pm
Hall wasn't in that game, so how is that even relevant.
cougaman
6/18/21 4:44pm
Yeah, I meant BSU's guy, Cord.
SinkingQuffa
6/18/21 5:28pm
and for the record, how can you say that he's clearly better that Hall when Hall

I never said that. He clearly played better than BSU's QB in our game.

No, lets not start the better player because he MIGHT get injured.

Uhhhh nobody clamored for Stewart over Hill, that was the year We were undefeate
akmewg
6/18/21 1:06pm
Now watch film and eval them. If you can't really do that, then I don't know what to tell you, Hall is better.
Turnpike Lane
6/18/21 11:58am
I agree with that, but Hall's field vision & decision making are still
SinkingQuffa
6/18/21 12:12pm
From spring practice highlights it is easy to see that Hall has a stronger arm
Corn Pop

Captain Barnacles

Also Romney was much more of a running QB than we’ve seen. Twice as many rushing

It's not about stats. Watch the two play and the differences are glaring.

6/18/21 1:09pm
Like John Walsh versus that scrawny lil game manager who preceded him.
SinkingQuffa
6/18/21 1:13pm
And anyone who thinks John Walsh was bad didn't watch.

Compared to the scrawny manager before him at BYU — his arm looked
SinkingQuffa

and Walsh was an elite college QB.
Belboz
6/18/21 1:23pm
He shoulda got a real shot in the Pros, in my mind. He woulda stuck.
SinkingQuffa
6/18/21 1:24pm
I remember watching him throw for over 600 yards against Utah State
Belboz
6/18/21 1:22pm
Wow one HALF against a bad USU defense sure has a lot of people enamored. And
akmewg
6/18/21 1:16pm
Everything Romney does is slow and arm strength isn't anywhere near the same.
Belboz
6/18/21 1:19pm
His decision making looked clearly FASTER than Hall's, imo.
SinkingQuffa
6/18/21 1:25pm
If he's forced to play, I hope he finds a way to surpass Hall.
Belboz
6/18/21 1:47pm
I expect Hall to win this (if not Conover). But Baylor has some great strengths.
SinkingQuffa
6/18/21 1:52pm
I think the jury is very much out on who's better right now.

6/18/21 1:14pm
For me it was the spin and velocity on the ball (JH). BR seems to float the ball
