I'm interested to hear why you think Tanner is the better quarterback. He doesn't check down, floats his long passes, and doesn't step up in the pocket. Those things will be corrected with experience, but Tanner is not a better quarterback than Taysom right now, which is what is important.

I like Taysom but how do you take the starting job

My guess is the coaches watched them both play and made their decision based on what they saw.

It's real simple. Tanner was the backup. Taysom was the starter. Taysom got

Yep, and that doesn't speak negatively towards Mangum at all.

Tanner would start at almost any other D1 school. But those schools don't have

QB is not solely a passing position.

Well Ty Detmer disagrees with you. Take it to him.

Taysom isn't a bad passer at all.

8/23/16 12:33pm

People seem to think Taysom hasn't progressed his passing since his Soph year

And they don't understand that the evidence doesn't support their claim...

But here's my question, what do you lose if you start Taysom over Tanner?

AFcoug7

Taysom is one of the most dynamic players in college football and you want to

It's really taboo to lose a starting spot due to injury. Plus, it's Taysom Hill.

8/23/16 12:46pm

The job was never Tanner's to lose, so your question is irrelevant

Coop

Because of this:

Hill is the best QB in the country. Tanner didn't stand a chance.

You should re-evaluate how you evaluate QB's because an entire staff

Yep. If anyone can dethrone Deshaun Watson, it's Taysom.

Cougarrrs

8/23/16 12:37pm

Look I think taysom is incredible too, but deshaun Watson is on another level.

8/23/16 12:39pm

no question Taysom is the underdog to begin the season. my comment is more

smokymountainrain

8/23/16 12:41pm

If he reaches that level he would be the #1 pick. Watson was the first player ever to pass for over 4000 yards and rush

Isn't it awesome that we have a back up sophomore qb that is even knocking

Probably the same reason we hired Detmer as OC instead of tippmancoug.

Yet, for whatever reason, you aren't the OC. So I don't really care why you

How do you keep the best athlete on the team off the field? Right decision.

Eggguy

There is also a line of thinking that you cannot lose a starting job due to injury. In this case
