This. Jaren makes some great plays but he doesn’t seem to progress through reads like Wilson did

And he never throws over the middle, which seems weird to me considering Rex is an NFL talent

I think Jaren is a great QB for BYU, however....

WJCougar

He's MUCH more careful with the ball.

He's a better passer than Taysom. Makes way harder throws.

mokelembembe

11/24/21 7:26am

He certainly has things to improve on, but a summer with John beck and another

Mjolnir

11/24/21 7:28am

And a whole lot more Top Ramen will certainly seal the deal.

Soy Celeste

11/24/21 8:09am

With NIL I think he will be eating steaks.

Mjolnir

11/24/21 8:38am

I'm more concerned w his limited ability to read the field

SinkingQuffa

This. Jaren makes some great plays but he doesn’t seem to progress through reads like Wilson did

letthewookieewin

11/24/21 7:40am

Doesn’t read the field as well as a QB who played in a lot more games? Weird

Baurak Ale

11/24/21 7:45am

Not necessarily a knock. To your point, with more experience at D1 level, he'll be better equipped to make it to the NFL

CoogsWin

11/24/21 9:42am

I think he’s ahead of where Zach was as a sophomore. Stats would

Mjolnir

11/24/21 7:51am

You mean Zach's Soph year. He left early, & as you note

SinkingQuffa

11/24/21 7:55am

He's better at that than he was at the beginning of the year. I want to see him continue to improve, but I don't think

dilbert

11/24/21 8:00am

What makes you think he’s limited at reading the field?

Bobmarleyjr

11/24/21 8:08am

27 combined receptions for Rex and Holker. And by my count 5-6 of those were

BGRTHNUMEGO

11/24/21 8:18am

So receptions determines the read? Now I know your analysis is baseless

Bobmarleyjr

11/24/21 8:46am

His pt is that it's an obvious option he almost always has but hardly ever uses.

SinkingQuffa

11/24/21 8:53am

Is it always an option? I didn’t know defenses always leave TE/H open

Bobmarleyjr

11/24/21 9:11am

Of course it's not always an open or even drawn up option. But his percentages

SinkingQuffa

11/24/21 9:18am

It has nothing to do with playing P5 OLB that can cover like G5 SS? Or

Bobmarleyjr

11/24/21 2:31pm

Rather than all those ho-hum P5 Corners letting our WRs run wild?

SinkingQuffa

11/24/21 2:44pm

The WR is much better than last year and it’s harder to cover deep than shallow

Bobmarleyjr

11/24/21 7:04pm

His extremely low INT number destroys this point. Can’t read field = INTs.

Reasonable1

11/24/21 9:23am

He waits until guys are open to throw and by then the timing is late. Fixable?

fulano

11/24/21 8:20am

At this point in his career, I doubt it.

SinkingQuffa

Re: Underthrown passes

jambocoug

11/24/21 8:59am

We saw the game & replays, though. He was obviously covering for his QB.

I have a confession to make. I'm starting to believe in Jalen Hurts a little

Belboz

11/24/21 10:42am

never mind. Jalen Hurts sucks.

Belboz

11/24/21 10:42am

I’m not worried about Conover transferring at all. That guy seems to love

Nuke

11/24/21 7:23am

This why I'm excited about Conover. He drives a mini van that has a BYU car wrap

For real? That's awesome if true. My respect for the kid just bumped up.

I think your conclusion is correct that none transfer but

He doesn’t know he is going to be drafted,

BR is aware there’s few spots for transfers and much less for walk on/non QB1

Bobmarleyjr

11/24/21 8:12am

If Jaren is drafted into the NFL, I’ll eat my phone

byuguns55

11/24/21 8:33am

Imma keep these receipts 😂

Mjolnir

11/24/21 8:39am

Let me put a qualifier on that; this next draft

byuguns55

11/24/21 8:48am

I want whatever meds they gave you.

GeraldGarner

11/24/21 9:19am

But he probably will be

Cougrrrs Roll

11/24/21 9:56am

No meds, just reporting what Jaren planned on moving forward.

Mjolnir

11/24/21 9:58am

He’s absolutely a NFL QB. He needs some more college under him but the skillset

TempeCoug

11/24/21 11:21am

Agree. Has the temperament, confidence, and leadership qualities. Strong arm

boctabulous

11/24/21 11:48am

Thank you

Jaren is a significantly more polished passer than Taysom ever was in college.

HiLife

11/24/21 11:56am

Taysom isn’t in the NFL for his passing abilities to begin with

GeraldGarner

11/24/21 3:01pm

I agree that Jaren has a better surrounding cast--i.e. more playmakers.

HiLife

11/24/21 4:22pm

If Jaren gets drafted next year, thats a great thing for BYU.

Tuskaloosa Cougar

11/24/21 10:10am

What about the kid who transferred from Boise?

anonymous37

11/24/21 1:41pm

I'll put his odds at 1% to getting to the NFL

Hill4Heisman

11/24/21 1:43pm

Jarens long ball needs some work.

For what it's worth, i once met an uncle of Conover...
