Love Mangum but don't understand why few don't want Hill back. #hillisawinner

If Tanner keeps climbing I'd hope for a platoon if they're both up for it.

No. No. A million times, no.

Why? Cuz you're fearful two talented, agreeable QBs might give us

give an example of it working really well please.

Typically, college guys aren't mature enough to handle it.

good luck with the platoon disaster

Mr Bassman

not going to be much of a spotlight.

Mr Bassman

I'd take Taysom & Tanner over a very good Max Hall for one simple reason.

Golson took most of the snaps, but they brought Rees in for clutch situations.

Because it is a failed model. That's not my opinion, that's a fact.

Um, Riley Nelson and Jake Heaps disagree with you pal.

MantiCoug

No. no. no. It's not the ideal model. And in times it's a prudent

When was the last time a platoon at qb actually worked well? Maybe Tebow at FL

I think people just don't want another midseason QB switch

Mr Bassman

10/8/15 2:17pm

But given Tanners experience if it happened i dont think it would be as bad as

monkeycowboy

10/8/15 2:19pm

I still don't like it.

Mr Bassman

10/8/15 2:21pm

The argument could also be made that if tanner goes down it wont be pretty...

monkeycowboy

10/8/15 2:24pm

Tanner's also less likely to get hurt I'd argue.

Mr Bassman

10/8/15 2:25pm

Even if this were true (& it's not), QB is not primarily an athlete's position.

1 and 3 are legit reasons and why I would rather stay with Tanner.

WJCougar

4. It hurts Tanner's pro chances

HiLife

10/8/15 2:19pm

I don't want another Riley/Heaps. What scenario works for both?

MajorZeus

10/8/15 2:19pm

2- if Tanner sits a year, that means Hill played the whole year well.

AZcougLawyer

10/8/15 2:35pm

Perhaps in Hogwarts. But in real life, Tanner is shafted with TH back.

Because three season-ending injuries in four years.

SandYFan

I'm kind of on the other side. I honestly think Mangum has the ability to be

Too much of a chance that he'll end up injured again - - - Season. Shot.

Give me Taysom, or give me death!

Hopefully you die, for the sake of the program.

Walter Bellhaven

you can have him for a few games! :'(

Mr Bassman

10/8/15 2:24pm

Tanner is our future. Keep Tanner progressing and if Taysom wants to come back

rggee

10/8/15 2:28pm

No way. Keys to the kingdom belong to Tanner.

Walter Bellhaven

10/8/15 2:29pm

I think we agree...

rggee

10/8/15 2:35pm

So no Taysom QB snaps at BYU ever again as long as Tanner is healthy?

Walter Bellhaven

I stand corrected

I want Taysom back! Because, what if...
