I wanted Taysom to start this season because I thought he could make the throws.

I admit I was wrong as was anyone else in that camp. The difference is I still want to win this season. The rest who cannot see how much of a failure he has been don't. Their pride apparently doesn't allow them to put the team ahead of their ego. Pretty simple.

Here's the problem Taysom has. He doesn't get to make mistakes. If he makes a

Whatever you do, don't mention his 100 yards as a rusher.

Or WVU's 90th ranked defense prior to us and 90th ranked rush defense as well...

9/25/16 11:20am

Ya, Taysom has never been able to rush. This is a new thing.

Just ask utah...or ucla.

Keep moaning. Tanner isn't playing.

I'm not moaning at all, just pointing out the difference. I'm team BYU.

Taysom IS part of team BYU! We all love Tanner, but the problem is those who

Luckily Taysom also has defenders that will blame others for his mistakes.

The problem Taysom has is the inability to throw an acurate deep ball.

Another problem is that because of the Texas games, we have built Taysom up to

Obviously Tanner wouldn't be saddled with Bronco and Anae this year

I love Tanner. I think he's going to be awesome for us. But people have a pretty

This isn't the case at all. The fact is, Taysom is not playing well.

Double standard? Maybe there is a pretty large difference in the teams they are

The Dude Abides

9/25/16 11:17am

I'll guarantee season's end #s will still be worse than Riley's

P-townCoug

9/25/16 11:57am

Yeah, double standards are not cool

Because Riley Nelson wasn't playing at AZ, at UT, UCLA, and at WV to open

If Taysom wasn't a Sr, then the mistakes he is making would be more acceptable.

slowhiteguy

9/25/16 11:16am

Any leeway when he'd only played 1/2 of 1 game in 2 years only to return to face a top 10 SOS?

mulletYno

9/25/16 11:17am

Fair point, but his INTs have been killers.

slowhiteguy

All but two have hit his receivers in the hands

Key: quantity of mistakes, bro. And quality. Two interceptions on back-to-back

Actually Taysom has been allowed to make a lot of mistakes, and he'll continue

Pick-6s are BYUs bread/butter no matter who starts

That's because most BYU fans are absolute idiots when it comes to football.

How many times do I have to debunk this? Did Tanner ever play with our all-time

No, it was Tanner! He made the WR's look good. People keep trotting this out as

And, Don't forget: Tanner never played with Taysom's legs either...

Exactly, but his head just exploded with the logic and reality of the situation

Ash

9/27/16 7:32am

4 TDs, 7 INTs is not acceptable for a Sr. QB with as many games as he has.

9/25/16 3:52pm

And neither is it acceptable for a senior QB to have O-line play like games 1-3

ZooBlue

9/25/16 5:30pm

But the line played great and he threw 3 INT's last game...

KendoVABeach

True. And Taysom needs to adjust. But, smarter expert folk than me
