FWIW, I attended several practices this year, and Conover did not show well.

Didn’t see the field well. Made bad decisions. A lot of people I know who are close to the program liked Finnegan better. I didn’t see enough of Finnegan to make that conclusion. But there was a massive, massive difference between Hall and Conover.

Conover is a head scratcher for me

Time will tell, but I'm guessing it was a big drop off from Hall

You know that thread where MissouriCoug18 posted about the best restaurants

TNT

He would have played more if he was ready to play.

Thrill

12/2/22 4:37pm

If he isn’t ready to play he shouldn’t be the backup.

BlueBeliever

I wish I had more confidence in Aaron Roderick's decision-making.

SinkingQuffa

12/2/22 4:38pm

He seemed to manage Wilson, Romney and Hall just fine.

12/2/22 4:40pm

Playing a banged-up Hall clearly lost us a very winnable ND game.

SinkingQuffa

12/2/22 4:43pm

If playing a banged up Hall was our best option that should tell you about the

Rat

No, it would tell us about the ability of our WHOLE stable of QBs, doesn't it?

SinkingQuffa

12/2/22 4:52pm

Shoot, I guess Arod sucks

Rat

12/2/22 4:59pm

It would appear to be a glaring problem, yes.

SinkingQuffa

12/2/22 5:02pm

It didn't clearly cost us the game because we don't know who would have played

Socrates Johnson

12/2/22 4:53pm

So why are we sticking with this stable of 4 experienced QBs, then?

SinkingQuffa

12/2/22 4:54pm

I have absolutely no idea. The roster management at QB has been really bad IMO.

Socrates Johnson

12/2/22 5:26pm

I'm NOT a fan of coordinators who don't see backups as viable

SinkingQuffa

12/2/22 5:44pm

Having no answer for ND’s TE clearly lost that game.

HiLife

12/2/22 5:08pm

As did having a zero-sum first half from our QB, unfortunately.

SinkingQuffa

12/2/22 5:09pm

Yes. Jaren was awful that game. Remember that duck INT to start the game?

YOHONOMOTO

12/2/22 5:12pm

I wish I didn't have to remember it. Geesh. He clearly wasn't right.

SinkingQuffa

12/2/22 5:15pm

So Roderick is incompetent in developing a back up QB. Got it!

What? Based on what? AR has 2 NFL QBS to his name at BYU. 2!

And it’s not 2 over a 20 year career. He has been qb coach at byu

Is Taysom really his?

I think that's a little exuberant a declaration isn't it?

SinkingQuffa

12/2/22 10:24pm

By every single expert yes. He will get drafted and get a contract

cougarfann888

12/2/22 10:32pm

So why is he apparently staying? Particularly as an oft-injured player?

SinkingQuffa

12/2/22 10:35pm

I am guessing some huge nil deals. You can now make mor e

Yet he's apparently going in the late NFL rounds. (Not really any more apparent)

The head scratcher for me is why not give him real game-time experience. There

He got a half vs Utah st and a quarter vs 3-9 Stanford and didn't play well in

Rat

12/2/22 4:50pm

Didn’t play well vs Stanford? He had 1 pass play called for him and threw ball

robin

12/2/22 5:40pm

He was instructed to not throw the ball because he sucks throwing the ball.

Rat

12/2/22 10:49pm

If he could play, he would have seen time. He cant play.

Backcountry

12/2/22 10:34pm

Tells you something when ARod played Romney frequently (almost too frequently if you ask me) and won't touch Conover.

12/2/22 4:40pm

Romney was good. I was fine with him playing.

Boring

12/2/22 6:03pm

Conover is the point, not Romney.

12/2/22 10:00pm

"refusing to give him ANY CHANCE AT ALL lost last year’s Boise State game and this year’s Notre Dame game."

Perhaps better stated:

Social Distance

12/2/22 4:43pm

That still doesn't convince me he made the wrong decision.

cougfanblue

12/2/22 4:46pm

Clearly the offensive staff, and QB coach, felt that a less than 100% Hall gave the team a better chance than a 100%

12/2/22 4:48pm

Bad elbow mechanics

SJS

He just needs more mechanics

Can you explain this post? I'm not sure I get it

MaxxPower

Maybe this means Hall has said he will be back

cougERdoc

Conover wasnt the guy and thats ok. Lots of high 3 star QBs dont pan out.

I know of a starter on defense who said the drop off is huge and that the team

Maybe Conover doesn’t have what it takes; what has he shown when on the field?

Heaps was known for his flawless technique. Conover was known as a field general

FWIW, I attended several practices this year, and Conover did not show well.

Heaps was good enough to get on the field. Conover isnt.
