But give me the John Beck that played TCU in 06 and I'll put him up against any Cougar QB in history.Ute-ī sunt fīmī differtī
It can't all be wedding cake.

I am a Beck fan through and through. In my opinion, Beck established the winning attitude and regained the swagger that Hall benefited from.
Now...just give Beck Halls moxie...and we're talking all pro."Newton's First Law of Motion: ...things at rest tend to stay at rest. Things in motion, tend to stay in motion...."
Hmm... Good motivation for me to remain active I guess.

But Hall had the moxie over his career and three straight 10-win seasons and a win against a top-5 Oklahoma to open Jerry World was probably BYU's signature win of the decade. Edge goes to Hall if we are looking at the whole decade. But if you are talking about a QB at the top of his game, Beck in 06 is the guy hands down.

Everyone who voted for Max Hall conveniently forgets everything that was stacked against Beck early in his career that Hall never had to worry about.
To me, this isn't a fair fight. John Beck was a million miles better than Hall. Go back and look at 2006 TCU. Max Hall never came close to having a game like that. There have been a lot of hyped BYU QBs who sulked and sissied out under adversity. Beck had to endure the worst turmoil the program ever endured, and the fire refined him into 24K gold.

Look at it this way:
Marque win: Hall (over OU)
More wins: Hall
More TDs/Passing Yards: Hall
Best individual season: Beck
Higher ranked team: Hall
More wins over Utah: Hall
If I am picking a QB to replicate his performance over one season, I said it earlier, Beck of 06 no question. But Beck of 03-05 had accuracy and touch issues and honestly didn't even have the whole team won over (he was the better QB IMO from having watched every practice). Hall came in and performed at a high level from day 1 and was a leader on the offensive side of the ball.
I have a ton of respect for Beck and how hard he worked. But Hall was a winner and a competitor who left it all on the line and IMO accomplished a lot more than Beck did at BYU.
