I 2nd this
It astounds me how much doom and gloom there is on this Board. I sometimes wonder about the mental stability of some of the posters.

Overall, I think Bronco is the right man for the job at this time. Am I disappointed with losing the last 3 games? Yes, but:

1. if Taysom hadn't gotten injured I think we come back and win the Utah State game and would be sitting at 7-0 right now. He seems to have the so called "it" factor and can strap the team on his back to a win.

2. we have a relatively young defense that also has had to deal with injuries to at least 4 key players and a new Defensive Coordinator. Are they a good defense this year? No. But I think both the defense and offense will be better next year. I also think the offense would have carried the team this year if not plagued with injuries.

3. Christian Stewart is developing quickly and well. I think it unreasonable to expect that he bring them back against Utah State or perform better than he did against UCF and Nevada given his lack of game experience. The handling of QB development is the thing that has disturbed me the most since Bronco and his staff has taken over. They rarely sit the starter and let the back-up actually run the offense (they normally just hand the ball off) to gain some game experience. IMO, this cost us big-time in both of the last 2 Utah State losses (not taking Hill out of the 1st loss and not having a game experienced Stewart in this past game).

4. until we become a P5 conference member, I doubt we'll be able to recruit well enough to develop a really deep team. However, I think the talent, speed, and depth is getting better. I think Bronco and his staff should get credit for that.
