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

where they could make a play on it. I don't remember too many blind throws to no one in particular and just hoping some BYU player could get there (like perhaps Nelson to Jacobson vs Utah St). In almost all of Tanner's 50/50 throws he knew to whom he was throwing.

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

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

An argument could be made that Tanner is better at killing a defense downfield

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

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.

6/24/16 8:53am

I think BYU would have been more likely to score.

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

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

6/24/16 10:16am

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

Uhh no. Not by design.

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

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

Yes many were

Another thing...

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

The latest samples???

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

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

Agree ^^^

I agree. Steve Young's legacy is secure.

Steve Young would disagree with you
