I'm worried that some of the Tanner practice rumors might be true.

If so, Ty better dumb down the O by next year

Hinta

10/24/16 10:40am

"Keep it simple stupid." Great words by coach Edwards about his offenses.

Holy Driver

10/24/16 12:06pm

I thought that was Michael Scott that said that?

Circaman12

10/24/16 2:23pm

Why be worried about it? There's still a ton of practice/development

Indy Coug

10/24/16 10:42am

Agree and I have said sitting helps Tanner

blucoug18

10/24/16 10:58am

here's what we know. Taysom has struggled mightily. Ty Detmer knows

I doubt they are true. And even if they are true, I think that gives us even more reason to play Tanner...

and some guys are just gamers.

True.

Have to recruit to your system

Rolled right and threw jump balls.....

You're both right IMO

They were very very common but yes he did do a lot of other really good things.

Dillinger

I'm not going to believe any "rumors" until I see it on the field... Rumors

crm48

10/24/16 10:57am

Even if true, he had a few games he'll get reps and an entire offseason to learn

cougaman

10/24/16 10:59am

"Tanner is probably a much better pure passer than Taysom." If this were true

mantis mutu

10/24/16 11:06am

Tanner has the benefit of having more time to learn the system and

mellomike

10/24/16 11:06am

Anyone that says it is better to stand on the sidelines to learn a new offense

OGSuperfan

10/24/16 11:16am

That approach worked wonderfully for decades for BYU in the past

Indy Coug

10/24/16 11:17am

When you had a QB in front that was performing admirably and the waiting QB

OGSuperfan

Until he gets hurt. Season is over anyway. Sit him.

This happens all the time in the NFL.

Blue for Life

10/24/16 3:22pm

I don't put a lot of credence into that; Tanner played great last year

OGSuperfan

10/24/16 11:12am

How about that pass to Kurtz during Boise? He catches that, touchdown.

Linkcoug

10/24/16 7:12pm

Some of Taysom's problems have been because the WRs haven't grasped the offense.

El Jefe

10/24/16 11:24am

Not sure I agree with that.

Jeffe

10/24/16 1:42pm

The coaches have repeatedly said it.

Mises

10/24/16 4:27pm

Coaches have said that the WR's aren't grasping the system?

Jeffe

10/24/16 7:13pm

Who knows what is true, but no QB is going to come into his first year in this

Freddie Cougar

10/24/16 11:27am

Which is even more of a reason we should have Tanner start getting game reps

crm48

10/24/16 11:33am

We have been told what a complete gym rat Tanner is. Are we to now

coastcat

10/24/16 3:42pm

I don't know what that has to do with whether he's grasping the offense

Freddie Cougar

10/24/16 3:49pm

Tanner is an elite quarterback. Trust the process.

Heath Squashwell

10/24/16 11:54am

I don't believe those rumors for 1 second. Coming into the season both QBs were

Super Chicken

10/24/16 12:00pm

I struggle to think of other reasons why Tanner wouldn't be playing right now

BYU Fan

10/24/16 1:28pm

It's likely as simple as coaches not thinking TH is playing as poorly as you do.

Super Chicken

10/24/16 5:50pm

Haven't read all the other responses, so I'm sure some of this ground is covered. However, this worry is greatly

CalGTR

10/24/16 12:02pm

Aaron Rodgers vs Andrew Luck

BoilerCoug

10/24/16 12:31pm

Meant to respond to OP

BoilerCoug

10/24/16 12:32pm

That's OK - you help bolster one of my points.

CalGTR

10/24/16 12:39pm

It also helps when you have a hall of famer that is starting in front of you...

crm48

10/24/16 12:46pm

Not comparable

Shteve

10/24/16 2:08pm

They're not true or accurate- just flimsy rumors

ZooBlue

10/24/16 12:45pm

Some of this sounds like TH? no?

Cougstreak

10/24/16 12:55pm

I've read detmers O is simpler. We can make all troupes of arguments

zerome4sooners

10/24/16 1:08pm

I'm much more worried about O-line improvement than I am

QBarrister

10/24/16 1:20pm

I also want to see our wide open WRs catch the ball every time.

Yunit

10/24/16 7:04pm

In what universe would Tanner struggle more than Taysom with a passing scheme?

jomo

10/24/16 1:08pm

In the Crappy OL Universe. Of course we've never heard of that universe.

CougarThug

10/24/16 4:22pm

nope, make pre-snap read, hit quick-slant or out, flaring back, TE... try again

jomo

10/24/16 6:09pm

Who cares about practice reports.

Jeffe

10/24/16 1:31pm

I mostly agree

Coug-Ida

10/24/16 2:29pm

I don't think the separation was for the reasons many suggest.

Jeffe

10/24/16 7:20pm

Total Bunk!

Elvis

10/24/16 1:34pm

Insiders have also posted BYU to Big 12 is going to happen

jes2332

10/24/16 1:36pm

Recent practice observation.

Coug-Ida

10/24/16 1:37pm

Well duh. Taysom is running the first team offense.

Rolled right and threw jump balls over and over??? LOL

chazen

Guys on the Royal Blue Podcast w/Brian Logan and crew confirmed this on

I call BS. Tanner will be awesome...

For those that remember in the heyday of BYU passing offense - it took years for

Zenoch

Actually that's not really true

CougarThug

These rumors strike me as attempts at revisionist history. Taysom just had to be named the starter and coaches just had

SpiffCoug

10/24/16 4:27pm

He is going to declare early to can't understand the offense?

Cougstreak

10/24/16 4:38pm

Perhaps he can't understand the offense as it is currently being executed.

CougarThug

10/24/16 5:02pm

Others QB's can but Tanner can't?

Cougstreak

10/24/16 5:12pm

Great post...it just needed a few small changes. Done. Much better...Enjoy

LumberCoug

10/24/16 5:16pm

I'm so sick of this narrative...TANNER STARTED 12 GAMES LAST YEAR and did well

Just like insiders said BYU was in the Big 12. I don't believe anyone who gives
