They're both talented. But who has picked up Detmer's new system more quickly?

WDaddy

That is the funny thing - neither has ever run a pro-style system

Taysom ran Doman's pro style offense his freshman year. Full spring, summer, and

I suppose. But can we classify Doman's system as a system?

We'll never know, but I think the Michigan game would look different with Hill.

Belboz

6/24/16 8:38am

The Michigan safeties would have at least had to play different. It could have

It wouldn't have just been the safeties that would have had to play different.

JamesWestfall

6/24/16 8:53am

I think BYU would have been more likely to score.

Belboz

6/24/16 9:07am

Defenses can't play that tight man and turn their backs to the QB

Our WRs sure weren't ready for that game. I was impressed

Funny how stats can tell a slightly different story than what really happened

The Dude Abides

6/24/16 9:07am

The stats I showed say nothing on 50/50 throws.

SpiffCoug

6/24/16 9:31am

The 50-50 balls are a good explanation for those 2 stats. With those two stats

JamesWestfall

6/24/16 10:16am

Those looked designed to me. If you overthrow there is a 0/100 chance. But when

Ash

6/24/16 9:59am

Uhh no. Not by design.

The Dude Abides

6/24/16 10:07am

Seemed to me he was throwing the ball a teammate and put the ball in a spot

SpiffCoug

6/24/16 10:11am

Of course he knew to whom he was throwing but under throwing was not by design.

The Dude Abides

6/24/16 10:27am

Freshman Tanner was 1 read and throw deep. Just like freshman

I hate to point this out

Another thing...

It isn't a half against Nebraska. Taysom was a better throwing QB against better

JamesWestfall

The latest samples???

6/24/16 1:41pm

I think Latest sample means Taysom's Jr and Sr years. Many point to his Soph

You're relying solely on stats

shakarocks

6/25/16 11:44am

Not sure they are similar in talent right now. I think Taysom is better

Dangerous

They will both play.

Tanner's Pros

johnnycrash

6/24/16 9:29am

Also, Tanner has played in more games in 1 season than TH has in 3

Y4LYFE

6/24/16 9:50am

Yes, if you exclude half of Taysom's games, then yes, that is less than Tanners

viper

6/24/16 11:06am

Winning > anything else. Taysom gives us the best chance vs THIS schedule.

Ash

6/24/16 10:03am

That is your opinion.

Jeffe

6/24/16 10:18am

I would agree

shakarocks

6/24/16 12:11pm

Also, Tanner has won more games against a more difficult schedule than Taysom

Jeffe

6/24/16 10:39am

Agree ^^^

I agree. Steve Young's legacy is secure.

shakarocks

Steve Young would disagree with you

Steve Young is being nice

except they are not similar. Taysom is better.
