Are you sure about Michigan?

Now I know Taysom was better this year compared to when he lost to Utah, but Utah played that same type of defense and beat us. Taysom couldn't break free and their DBs owned our WRs. A TE is really what kills that kind of defense cause the middle of the field is open due to the Lbers coming up to stop Taysom from running.

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

10/9/15 9:28am

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

Unpopular opinion:

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.

The USU game last year was not a sure loss. We were only down by 7 when

rebelCoug

10/9/15 7:56am

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

10/9/15 8:46am

Nicely Done. Had forgotten much of that.

buckowens

10/9/15 11:56am

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

vatrachos

10/9/15 1:25pm

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

Beard Card

10/9/15 1:43pm

No way, think about it:

vatrachos

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

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

lightmann

10/9/15 10:52am

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.
