It's possible that he has been working hard, but not working on the right things. It wouldn't surprise me to know that Jake spend 4 hours every day in the summer throwing bombs and 15-yard outs to Apo. That is a lot of throwing and hard work, but obviously it's not the area that needs work.Originally posted by TripletDaddy View PostThis is my concern. At this point, we should all hope that Heaps truly is a lazy self-entitled brat. Because all of tha is coachable. The worst scenario is to come to find out that Heaps has been watching film and practicing hard all this time.
I wonder if John Beck could somehow give Jake a call and give him a few tips on how to take some velocity off the short passes.

I can believe this. It also seems like he's been coached by an NFL QB coach.Originally posted by TheBYUGuy View PostIt's possible that he has been working hard, but not working on the right things.

Throwing an out 80 mph out of bounds and two feet above your WR's hands is a better NFL throw than a floater across the middle. Yet Jake is making the first pass over and over and getting nowhere. Nelson comes in and makes the second pass and we win.

If you were advising him, if you advised him to red shirt, would you have him do it at BYU?Originally posted by BemidjiCoug View PostBest chance for Heaps to reach full potential = Back up the rest of this season and redshirt next year.
He and Doman aren't going to be buddies. I am not sure Doman is going to end up being a good OC.'
You might be right about red shirting, but if you are it won't be at BYU. He is already is married so he has had the BYU experience.

BYU's his best chance. He will have every opportunity to win back his starting job for the next year and a half. The only reason he won't be starting again by the end of this or next season is that he absolutely sucks.Originally posted by byu71 View PostIf you were advising him, if you advised him to red shirt, would you have him do it at BYU?

I don't think he needs a redshirt year. That would be counterproductive at this point.

That leaves a lot for interpretation, doesn't it? This is a kid who held his own press conference to announce his intention to play in Provo. At Iggy's no less.Originally posted by YOhio View PostJay Drew says Heaps is as humble as he has ever seen him."Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance and the gospel of envy; its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery." - Winston Churchill

You do realize that press conferences for top 5 star athletes are more the norm than rare?Originally posted by il Padrino Ute View PostThat leaves a lot for interpretation, doesn't it? This is a kid who held his own press conference to announce his intention to play in Provo. At Iggy's no less.

For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

If say most of it can be blamed on heaps. He hasn't been close on the deep balls, not even giving guys a chance to catch it.Originally posted by Sizzle View PostInteresting. I remember the 2004 season with Beck very well where the whole season seemed feast or famine with the longball to Watkins and Collie. Makes me also wonder how much the low YPA is being drug down by scheme (short routes/not allowing for YAC) and how much of it is Heaps. His YPA definitely goes up if he connects on a few of the longer passes that have been very close, but again, enough to make a difference?
