Conclusion

The play style of all three quarterbacks is what makes this competition interesting. If there were two mobile quarterbacks or two very composed quarterbacks then it would be simple as to which one is quicker, faster, or more composed.  But since they all have very different skill sets, it makes things more interesting.

Ultimately it may come down to what Aaron Roderick and Fesi Sitake want in their offense as opposed to who may actually be the quote on quote better quarterback overall. It is very possible that Conover could be the “best” quarterback, but in the Roderick offense, Hall gives the Cougars the best chance to win.

Unfortunately in today’s game the decision that the coaches make will likely lead to one of the other two that remain transferring to another school.  With transfer rules now allowing a non punishable free transfer it just doesn’t seem likely that all three players will end up staying if opportunities open up at other schools.
