As of late January 2014, our QB corps included Taysom, Ammon Olsen, Billy Green, and Christian Stewart.
By early October, we were down to Stewart (a walk-on), and this fact certainly emphasized the notion that you can't have too many QBs.
Maybe Covey would've been good enough to start at BYU, but there's also the possibility he was recruited as a projected backup. If that was the case, then all this weeping, wailing, and gnashing of teeth is meaningless.
