justify this conclusion. Yet, Zach’s injuries his sophomore year make the comparison difficult. Regardless, if we see a similar jump this off-season, Jaren will be in a decent spot imo.

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

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.

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

11/24/21 7:38am

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

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

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

never mind. Jalen Hurts sucks.

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

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

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

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

Let me put a qualifier on that; this next draft

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

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

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.

What about the kid who transferred from Boise?

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

Jarens long ball needs some work.
