We got to see a some good play from him and some very mediocre play (bowl game).

I honestly don't know how good he could/would have been--if at all. But for the life of me, I don't understand why people make the assumptive leap that Lark was definitely better than RN. We can't know that. Consequently, I think people just assume anyone could have been better than RN.

None of those guys is in the same galaxy as Mangum IMO

it is just a strange turn of events that put him in this position

Well in one way he was prepared to sit last season

Yeah, you really can't complain if you have the potential to be a 3 year starter

I agree. Those other guys wouldn't be starters on a decent d1 team and Mangum is headed to the NFL one day.

Agree about Mangum... Disagree about Lark. Dude should have started over Nelson - Bronco blew that decision.

I guess that's what I'm basing my opinion off of, that he couldn't start of Riley. Because Riley was mediocre.

He didn't start over Riley because Bronco had a serious man crush on Riley. Bronco's decision there wasn't talent based.

You watched the bowl game right?

You realize Lark never got first team reps, right?

Exactly - he was never given a fair shake with the first team to get better and show what he could do... the guy had

Lark looked pretty horrible in the bowl game as a 7th year senior. Don't think he was ever very good.

Given how poor the QB play was from 2010-12 the fact that Lark couldn't beat out Nelson or Heaps says much about Lark.

Disagree about Christian (and Lark) I think he could have become a good D1 QB if

Fair, but each of them approached their job similarly. All but Christian were

Sorensen bolted and got himself a nice NFL paycheck because of it.

I agree about QB development...it was stunted by coaching decisions.

but if he had stayed wouldn't he have had s shot because of the injuries?

Christian Stewart had very comparable stats to Mangum FWIW

Dissenter

8/25/16 11:25pm

good point, but Stewart was a senior and Mangum was a Fresh-barely off mission

cougsoldier

8/25/16 11:39pm

this is true, I was merely saying Christian Stewart deserves more credit

Dissenter

8/26/16 7:26am

But Christian played a much easier schedule than Tanner?

I think Jason Beck is my favorite of all time. Came in, got beat out, and stayed. Tanner knew he would be next AFTER

Agree with Ja. Beck. He was better than John IMO.

If we're talking about respect, Brendan Gaskins gets my vote

Didn't know his story...but we can add him to the list
