of the first two injuries, would tanner have been injured taking the same hit?

The answer is anyone would and most wouldn't have fared as well as he did. To call him glass is ignorant and wrong. The fact that the last offense needlessly exposed him to those hits is the issue.

Despite PK's article, I still want Taysom as the starting QB next year. I am

I just want to win

Same.

I want them both on the team and whom ever Detmer picks as the starter

BYUheaven

I want the best QB to play. I don't care if that is Taysom or Handsome Tanielu.

Or handsome Taysom or handsome Tanner

What are your reasons?

Taysom gives us the better chance to win this year.

BYUCougarsFan

2/11/16 12:05pm

No one knows how Taysom will run once he comes back and no one knows how Tanner

BYUheaven

2/11/16 12:15pm

The reason is simple. What guarantee is there that Tanner stays healthy himself?

Turnpike Lane

2/11/16 12:05pm

I don't understand why this is so hard for some to understand.

Mizzou-Blue

2/11/16 12:16pm

It is more likely that Tanner stays healthy than Taysom.

That's not the point.

Of course

Backcountry

2/11/16 12:39pm

There are no negatives of him coming back

I love Taysom but he is made of glass. I'm done with the read option.

Taysom isn't going to change. His strengths will be utilized.

Backcountry

2/11/16 12:31pm

In the last offense he was asked to read the end and give the ball if the end

travelcoug

2/11/16 12:38pm

Sorry to disappoint me? Ok

Backcountry

2/11/16 12:45pm

Totally disagree. Tanner has a gun for an arm but he threw the ball up for grabs

travelcoug

2/11/16 12:51pm

All I'm saying is that the read option was Taysoms strength.

Backcountry

2/11/16 12:59pm

If taysom wants to play in the NFL he will abandon the read option. Ty will find

travelcoug

He threw the ball up for grabs? Look at his turn over ratio.

GoatyGoat

2/11/16 1:21pm

He made some great throws but way too much chuck it up. That int at San Jose was

travelcoug

2/11/16 1:32pm

Start tanner? He isn't close to Taysom with regards to reading defenses and

travelcoug

2/11/16 12:40pm

I really hope you aren't serious

Backcountry

2/11/16 12:45pm

Very serious. You need to watch more football, maybe learn to read a defence

travelcoug

2/11/16 12:59pm

The first quarter of the Ute game had to do more with John Pease defensive

GoatyGoat

2/11/16 2:35pm

You miss the point. I didn't say tanner was bad as a FRESHMAN. He was amazing.

travelcoug

2/11/16 2:39pm

You made it sound like he can't read a defense.

GoatyGoat

2/11/16 3:05pm

Taysom is not depth. He also reads defenses MUCH better than Tanner does.

travelcoug

2/11/16 3:20pm

So painfully false

Backcountry

2/11/16 3:38pm

Painful for you to be false I'm sure

travelcoug

2/11/16 3:42pm

I have takes to three former BYU qb's that agree with me.

travelcoug

2/11/16 3:43pm

You must be pretty well connected.

Backcountry

2/11/16 4:00pm

Board mail me your phone. We can talk and I will hook you up with names

travelcoug

What was the difference between the pick six against SJSU and taysoms pick vs.

BYUheaven

2/11/16 3:14pm

I'm glad you asked

travelcoug

2/11/16 3:23pm

Haha. Not seeing a middle linebacker in zone coverage is reading defenses 101

BYUheaven

2/11/16 3:32pm

Did I say didn't see him or did I say he got depth and made a leaping well timed

travelcoug

2/11/16 3:42pm

I want Tanner to play every game next year

teancum

2/11/16 12:28pm

I'd rather have him use a redshirt

archie

2/11/16 1:23pm

The chance that Tanner would stick around 4 more years is so low that it's

tony

2/11/16 1:42pm

I don't get why people don't seem to think about this. Tanner was what, 22 last

sakar12

2/11/16 1:57pm

^ - This!!

wilsdad

2/11/16 2:37pm

We would have him for longer if he used the redshirt

davidnairn

2/11/16 2:50pm

I doubt it.

wilsdad

2/11/16 2:53pm

Agreed. And that's why I want Taysom back, but Tanner as the starter.

sakar12

2/11/16 2:55pm

So you are saying he leaves after that year no matter what. Let's have two great

travelcoug

2/11/16 2:58pm

You're operating under the assumption that Taysom is the better QB. I think

sakar12

2/11/16 3:24pm

If what you say is true, Tanner is gone after 2017 season either way

fatcracker

2/11/16 3:16pm

You're absolutely right, and I strongly believe that Tanner is the better option

sakar12

2/11/16 3:29pm

Luckily it's not up to a CB vote. They actually pay the coaches to decide

fatcracker

2/11/16 4:17pm

What's changed?

"Despite"? You mean PK wrote a halfway decent article?
