It's unpopular because it really isn't true. Accuracy hasn't really been an

issue. He's completely 60% and if you were to uncount drops it'd be much better than that. Except for the terrible interception that Algeier ended up recovering for us, he had done an outstanding job avoiding interceptions or even chances at interceptions. Many times you'll watch a QB and think the guys doomed to be intercepted based on the balls he's throwing. Not Hall.

His decision-making has been one of his strengths, not a weakness.

AND he can run. And extend plays. And throw on the run.

Unpopular opinion about Hall...

BlueSteel2021

9/21/21 9:04am

Hall is a sophomore. He'll improve.

m0resn0w

9/21/21 9:05am

No question. But so will Baylor.

BlueSteel2021

9/21/21 9:06am

The coaches don't agree. It's seems pretty clear that Jaren's ceiling is higher

Schultz is back

9/21/21 9:08am

To be fair, it took the coaches a long time to decide after seeing them daily

Lifer

9/21/21 9:22am

That’s what they said publicly anyway.

NWCoug

9/21/21 9:32am

So, backup QB is better. A typical BYU fan sentiment.

Archaea

9/21/21 9:15am

No, not better. Interchangeable, at least at this point in the season.

BlueSteel2021

9/21/21 9:35am

Not interchangeable, I don't think we beat Utah without Jaren avoiding the rush

GlutealGuy

9/21/21 10:50am

Alright Sister Romney, we'll try to get Baylor the 2nd half against USF

GlutealGuy

9/21/21 9:07am

Here we go, QB2 is the most popular guy almost every yr. Come on man. Hall has

Cougar TD

9/21/21 9:09am

I agree, I think it would be a net positive or very little change overall.

The_Cuss

9/21/21 9:10am

Completely disagree, part of the reason why Hall isn't being sacked

Covid-19

9/21/21 9:10am

But, Baylor arguably goes thru his progressions more quickly, gets the ball out

basman

9/21/21 9:12am

Agree. Having a run threat at QB has a domino effect. Look how we played Daniels

kotacoug

9/21/21 9:14am

Think of all the explosive plays BYU has had this year

Big12Yfan

9/21/21 9:11am

I think with a more natural passer, you'd offset those big plays with others

BlueSteel2021

9/21/21 9:36am

What do you mean by “a more natural passer”?

Big12Yfan

9/21/21 9:40am

From what I've seen of Romney, he's better with his read progressions and has

BlueSteel2021

9/21/21 9:42am

Hall can hit throws that Romney can't though. (Note: I'm not an "arm strength"

I'm not going to question the QB who a) has led us to three straight wins over

Yep, and I do not want to bad mouth a player who didn't play. But it is possible

Cougar TD

9/21/21 9:13am

That was the smoke coming out of camp. Conover threw a lot of picks and TDs

Kajdin

9/21/21 9:15am

Going forward we should ALWAYS have a run threat at the QB position. It just

kotacoug

9/21/21 9:16am

My argument isn't to bench Hall. He's certainly earned his place and BYU is

BlueSteel2021

9/21/21 9:37am

Hall has also made some excellent throws. He’s not ZW, but neither is Romney

4thand19

9/21/21 9:11am

Maybe you don't understand what his legs do for the passing game.

The Y's Insider

9/21/21 9:11am

One thing about Jaren is that he seems to have total trust that his hogs and

9/21/21 9:17am

I don't think that's an unfair take, but it's impossible to know if you're right

byujacob

9/21/21 9:14am

To me it seems like the biggest thing he can improve on is seeing the field

jreid191

9/21/21 9:17am

It seems like that has more to do with the speed of the game. Even though he is

Cougar TD

9/21/21 9:19am

I agree. He's only a sophomore so I'm confident that will come with time.

jreid191

9/21/21 9:24am

This seems to be answer/encompass the situation.

basman

9/21/21 9:24am

I'd agree with all this.

BlueSteel2021

9/21/21 9:38am

I think the key is a higher ceiling...passing game will improve

Lifer

9/21/21 9:20am

I think that's part of it. The other part may be nerves.

BlueSteel2021

9/21/21 9:40am

I like it.

There are bad takes on CB and there there is this garbage. Hall just did what

9/21/21 10:14am

Dual threat (with crazy speed) opens up so much. Just beat 3 P5s. Who else has

I kind of agree. His passing leaves much to be desired.

oldrugger

9/21/21 10:49am

We are so fortunate to have a 2nd string QB that is so good.

ditch

9/21/21 10:59am

He's at 60% accuracy with a passer rating 137.91. Those are perfectly fine numbers at this point.

Spiff

Let him lose a game this year before you cast the first stone.

buckeyecougarguy

Who is casting a stone?

How is saying performance wouldn’t drop off if Romney plays casting stones???

Nuance on this board is dead. All buckeye heard is "Hall sucks."

BlueSteel2021

9/21/21 1:36pm

You started with "unpopular opinion about Hall" and then proceeded to critique

rcbyufan

9/21/21 1:45pm

This is dumb take

shakarocks

9/21/21 11:16am

Excellent points. Especially true about the passing game.

bleedsblue

9/21/21 11:18am

Just to be clear, everyone that has see all the games/practices, knows Jaren is

rcbyufan

You've talked to all of them about this?

Dude. 3-0. I don’t care if he has a walker. 3-0. Some people never happy
