Taysom got injured and we were driving in their territory. That game could have gone either way. If Taysom doesn't get injured, I think we would have had a great shot of winning that game.

What am I not getting with all of this Taysom vs Mangum next year talk

No brainer? It's that easy?

well, then we all have a backup we like, don't we!

Nobody agrees with Criddle. that was a dumb statement.

Has someone ever lost a starting spot because they 'might' get hurt

basc-coug

Has BYU ever had the starting QB go down 3 of 4 seasons?

WJCougar

10/9/15 9:31am

I see this comment as a classic example of non sequitur

dratax

10/9/15 9:46am

Some people's bodies just seem injury prone (e.g. Taysom & Staley)

No freegin brainer Taysom over anybody

I think we still beat usu last year with taysom.

blueaussie

10/9/15 7:54am

Hard to say, but our chances sure would have been better.

People also forget our D made some nice adjustments at half.

yahtzee

10/9/15 8:01am

Yep. USU only had 1 touchdown in the second half. BYU was easily moving the ball

Oompabluepaw

10/9/15 8:46am

Nicely Done. Had forgotten much of that.

buckowens

One more thing to add: after Taysom was hurt, the team was in shell shock and

There alsolutely is a question. I'm not saying we couldn't have won or that

Beard Card

No way, think about it:

10/9/15 4:16pm

To be fair your post reads BYU would have lost to USU...not the USU game was

cougarmikey

10/9/15 9:54pm

Not to mention the momentum shift that occurred when Taysom went down.

cougarmikey

10/9/15 9:48pm

Taysom's QB weaknesses last season were & are WAY understated by many.

mantis mutu

10/9/15 8:02am

I'm cool with Taysom winning the heisman next year and Tanner the year after.

Bert609

10/9/15 8:04am

Taysom looked great passing against Nebraska.... The worst pass D in college

thebruce

10/9/15 8:49am

I had the Taysomettes up in enough of a bunch already.

mantis mutu

10/9/15 8:56am

Hahahaha, one of the most poorly reasoned posts I've read on here.

messi

10/9/15 9:58pm

MM is spot on

mikeynolikey

10/9/15 10:27pm

In what way were they figuring him out exactly?? I think perhaps you are

cougarmikey

10/9/15 10:03pm

It's funny because I have the opposite opinion on at least 2 of those games

cougarmikey

10/9/15 9:46pm

It is puzzling to me, as well. Taysom has earned the right to be the guy

LV Mike

10/9/15 7:50am

All fair points, but is BYU willing to deal with another injury to Taysom?

SUAVO

10/9/15 7:56am

uhh, big difference this time

warp

10/9/15 8:11am

Definately not as big as previous years, but the statement still stands that

SUAVO

10/9/15 8:27am

Are you sure about Michigan?

RaggaeCoug

10/9/15 8:07am

Why is everyone ignoring the fact that as of September 2016, Taysom will

hansel

10/9/15 8:09am

because it's not equal

warp

10/9/15 8:22am

I think Tanner will be better at all of that. I think Tanner has better QB

hansel

10/9/15 8:27am

What evidence do you have that supports the idea that Taysom isn’t very good

Mizzou-Blue

10/9/15 8:39am

Completely agree. Hansel is way off with this.

messi

10/9/15 10:03pm

I think because everyone saw the first half of the Nebraska game.

sheriffcreg

10/9/15 8:49am

Because we saw the Michigan game.

buckowens

10/9/15 12:00pm

Meh, stick with Tanner. For all the reasons that have already been shared.

Walter Bellhaven

10/9/15 8:23am

Throw out the two wins against bad Texas teams. What are Taysom's

mikeynolikey

10/9/15 8:31am

2013 Texas wasn't a bad team. Sure they were not a great team.

bushy7

10/9/15 8:35am

Throw out two Hail Marys and what are Tanner's?

kotacoug

UCONN

Walter Bellhaven

10/9/15 8:53am

What games has he changed against good teams? Look at the four toughest games

mikeynolikey

10/9/15 8:59am

This is silly, what games did he change? It is a team game you know.

Mizzou-Blue

10/9/15 9:17am

I have to agree with you. Taysom's running ability absolutely murders mediocre

mikeynolikey

10/9/15 12:32pm

I think there were a few games in 2013 that showed he could pass just fine (see

Mizzou-Blue

10/9/15 1:59pm

couple weeks ago you said Tanner was already the better QB

Yakov

10/9/15 9:31am

I still think he's got a lot more potential, but concede he's not as good as

mikeynolikey

10/9/15 11:20am

Silly statement

warp

10/9/15 9:28am

On top of that, those stats also don’t take into account the big difference

Mizzou-Blue

10/9/15 9:41am

It wasn't a statement, it was a question and you apparently can't answer it.

mikeynolikey

10/9/15 12:10pm

I did answer it

RE: What am I not getting with all of this Taysom vs Mangum next year talk

Bravescoug

10/9/15 8:34am

Let's stop with Taysom vs Tanner and acknowledge the real debate

warp

10/9/15 8:37am

We went away from this in Nebraska probably in part cuz of Taysom's health

mantis mutu

10/9/15 8:54am

Interesting points I hadn't thought about before.

Bgash

10/9/15 9:15am

I don't think we will ever have the speed or athleticism at QB again, so I'm not

byutx

10/9/15 9:46am

Plus the one constant at least at BYU with the read option is injury.

Accipiter

10/9/15 12:17pm

The power game definitely fits our talent base better

Ulysses14

10/9/15 10:36am

Both are doing this right now

digitalayon

10/9/15 8:52am

Two very fortunate hail marys and CB has already forgotten about Taysom Hill.

Bgash

10/9/15 9:14am

What you're not getting

Yakov

10/9/15 9:24am

Go with taysom every time. Absolute no brainer.

smartup

10/9/15 9:29am

So limit Mangum reps for Taysom...who likely gets injured 1-4 games in 2016?

Y4LYFE

10/9/15 9:59am

It's crazy to me how quickly we forget about such a special player like Taysom.

Bluesangue

10/9/15 10:31am

I think this is because of the potential we see in Tanner.

skpope

10/9/15 2:07pm

Exactly.

Jericho

10/9/15 10:37am

You're not getting that he would likely end up getting injured . . . . again.

lightmann

10/9/15 10:52am

You play him while you can and let Mangum take over if that happens

Jericho

10/9/15 10:59am

Would you still go with Taysom if you knew that Tanner would transfer because

BlueForLife

10/9/15 11:13pm

He absolutely will not transfer.
