Riley Nelson was just on 1320.

Of course he is ... he had his engagement pictures inside LES

runnincoug

8/26/14 5:21pm

Those weren't engagement photos, they were glamour shots.

BE-WHY-YOU

8/26/14 5:58pm

Wish the kid had been both managed & treated better.

Mantis Mutu

8/26/14 5:23pm

How was he mismanaged?

travelcoug

8/26/14 5:48pm

Oh brother.

YSMACK

8/26/14 5:51pm

He didn't lie about his injuries. He didn't practice the entire Utah week

byubyu

8/26/14 5:52pm

afterwards he threw coaches under the bus...

icecougar

8/26/14 8:51pm

I thought Bronco had a rule that said if you don't practice Thursday, you don't

And Jake is still a NFL 1st rounder being kept down by the MAN, right?

I see what you are saying.. That game felt like the end of BYU football before

i agree. he may not have been exactly the QB we wanted but he gave everything

Riley gave everything he had to BYU football. Any errors were by the coaches,

icecougar

Except for his throw to Hoffman at Notre Dame. That's on Riley.

TrueAndBlue

8/26/14 5:36pm

*bursts into tears* thanks for the reminder.

IGlowInTheDark

8/26/14 5:58pm

To Hoffman? If only he threw it that close!

Okay, now we're just being a little ridiculous...

southernfriedcougar

Pretty sure the coaching staff was giving their all as well.

HeismanTy

8/26/14 7:26pm

Except all of the times he played 500 with the football... That was his fault

kingpin2k

8/26/14 7:40pm

wholeheartedly disagree

icecougar

8/26/14 9:03pm

You're okay with a player being dishonest about their physical condition?

cougfromcali

8/26/14 9:44pm

He is. He fulfilled his life's dream at our expense.

JamesDean

8/26/14 5:23pm

same can be said of many cougars, including Heaps

binghammer

8/26/14 5:44pm

Heaps moved on...

icecougar

8/26/14 9:05pm

It can be argued that Riley was a better passer than Taysom.

byusage

8/26/14 5:50pm

he was serviceable in 2011, although left something to be desired still

binghammer

8/26/14 5:52pm

He was serviceable against HORRIBLE teams.

Josef K

8/26/14 6:35pm

anything can be argued...

icecougar

8/26/14 9:06pm

Their stats are comparable w/ the exception of rushing

byusage

8/26/14 9:16pm

last season was Taysom's first as a starter

icecougar

8/26/14 9:45pm

That is the expectation of Taysom. We will soon find out if it is the reality.

byusage

8/26/14 10:35pm

Thank you. Finally somebody with some sense

icecougar

8/26/14 9:04pm

I agree completely

slatecoug

8/27/14 12:29am

Has anyone ever questioned his loyalty?

Walter Bellhaven

8/26/14 5:24pm

Yes. Many on here claim he's selfish for not taking himself out of the game

byubyu

8/26/14 5:27pm

Can't you be both selfish and have a love for your school?

Walter Bellhaven

8/26/14 5:48pm

I think it's being in the spotlight that he loves most

icecougar

8/26/14 9:10pm

He is loyal. And that was selfish.

southernfriedcougar

8/26/14 6:37pm

Yes, he was loyal only to himself and his getting playing time

icecougar

8/26/14 9:09pm

He has my respect. I will never understand the disrespect of BYU fans towards

byusage

8/26/14 5:25pm

Yet many BYU fans treat him like he has wronged BYU.

sandtrapcougar

8/26/14 5:26pm

Watching him high-five the line judge that one game made him worth it for me.

TSH_Rapid_Resp_Team

8/26/14 5:28pm

If he had played smarter that game we would've pulled it out. He had

Mantis Mutu

TCU scored 21 points off of special teams.

byubyu

8/26/14 5:35pm

Riley was hardly the only problem that game, I'll definitely agree.

Mantis Mutu

8/26/14 5:36pm

That was awesome (technically a penalty, but still great)

Cougar-Duck

8/26/14 5:31pm

I think the ref was too impressed to blow that. That was crazy

Mantis Mutu

8/26/14 5:34pm

Cool play, goofy high five... Because he had to jump to reach the refs hand.

Accipiter

8/26/14 10:04pm

we have seen worse QBs at BYU than Riley

Y05

8/26/14 5:54pm

and many, many better QBs.

8/26/14 10:53pm

I never once faulted Riley for what happened. I place 100% of the blame on

UNLVcougar

8/26/14 5:31pm

Didn't know Bronco forced him onto the field. FIRE BRONCO!!!!

southernfriedcougar

8/26/14 6:23pm

yeah, Fire Bronco for having faith in and trusting a "team leader"!

icecougar

8/26/14 9:35pm

details?

binghammer

8/26/14 5:34pm

Had the heart and will just not the on field results that are required.

Flyingdolphin

Sat next to him at the Texas game last year

Jeffe

8/26/14 5:46pm

Well what else would he be through and through? He played here.

southernfriedcougar

8/26/14 6:09pm

CougarCanuck76

8/26/14 6:42pm

Riley's primary problem was that he thought he was so much better than he was.

Yeah, & Jake could've said he dropped his Y chromosome & didn't belong.

Mantis Mutu

8/26/14 7:48pm

I'm not sure what you're arguing

kingpin2k

8/26/14 8:01pm

It's not surprising.

I'mBatman

kingpin2k

Or with getting out of bounds to live to play the next play.

Accipiter

8/26/14 10:09pm

Riley's primary problem was that he put himself ahead of the team

icecougar

8/26/14 9:37pm

Guy's got grit.

Riley is a stud and an extremely great former BYU player to talk with.
