I re-watched the USU game to see why some here thought Jacob Conover just doesn't have "it". He played well...

Such a small sample to judge someone, especially third string..

SausageKing

Probably because he doesn’t have the measurables not fast nor shifty,

Personal opinion but I don’t think BYU can afford to not have top level

there's a balancing point with that imo

I'll one up you: Tom Brady, not super athletic, not the biggest arm in the

"Doesn't have a cannon" - you sure about that? Ask anyone at practice - stronger arm than Jaren.

Pollster

1/20/22 1:17pm

Arm strength is definitely not one of his problems. Not sure where that idea came from

Bob Vance

And yet he's special enough for other reasons he was considered

SinkingQuffa

He does have a cannon; have you even watched him?

2FarGone

1/20/22 1:34pm

His release is impressive, & he gets a lot of air under his long ball.

He’s max hall. I loved max hall

More like a cross between Beck and Hall

The play calling was as conservative as absolutely possible. Many are taking

It was after the first couple of drives where he looked lost.

Wasn't there also multiple penalties on those drives as well. Anyone would've

Cougforgood

1/20/22 12:59pm

Yes, the team didn't perform well for him either.

Anyone would be lost if your hands are tied

Kilgruman

But they weren't at the beginning. He actually looked much better after they dumbed down the

Yes, when USU decided that all he was going to do was hand off. So they totally

Most people forget how much Zach struggled in his 1st start vs. No. Illinois

RockyBalboa

1st start was Hawaii.

Thanks for the correction.

RockyBalboa

1/20/22 1:12pm

Sorry if it came off as snotty, didn't mean for it to be.

CougtheCreator

1/20/22 1:13pm

It didn't. My memory isn't what it used to be, so I appreciate that you knew.

RockyBalboa

1/20/22 1:45pm

Sorry, but I don't think he looked good at all. He threw it to the wrong guy and it took them until the 4th drive to

Before he even stepped on the field we knew you thought that

Pretty funny comment

To be fair, with ZW we heard about his “IT” for a long time before he started a game

dryflyelk

1/20/22 12:59pm

There was a lot of noise about how he carved up the defense as scout team QB.

Lance71

1/20/22 1:09pm

Any 3rd string QB can carve up our defense

Nothing to take away from it.

Too small of a sample size, but he showed well. He seems a bit average (or below) with mobility, but he has the

Bob Vance

I have no opinions on Conover - too small a sample size, but from what I've seen, most of the negativity towards him...

krindorr

1/20/22 1:29pm

What the reports out of practice that he was torching our first team defense repeatedly?

2FarGone

1/20/22 1:42pm

Love Conover, but the UAB qb was torching our defense.

CougtheCreator

1/20/22 1:47pm

No one can objectively say that was our first team defense. That’s ridiculous.

deliciousmocha

1/20/22 3:04pm

Heard the exact same thing last year coming out of fall camp. That is why Jaren got the nod - better ball security.

Pollster

1/20/22 2:08pm

I know it was a small sample size and that I shouldn't read into it very much,

Perseguir

It's really pretty simple- anyone who can make such claims has ZERO credibility

Bill

Major point - he improved as the game went along in his first game.

He stares down his receivers.
