His skin didn't adapt like some synthetic rubbers do when exposed to moisture.

Q-grr the missing puzzle piece

If his skin had super powers he would have held the ball and his skin would have absorbed the water that might potentially land on the ball up to the point the receiver caught it.

Remind me again what exactly Tanner did to make fans lose confidence?

BrutustheBrash

5/28/17 11:01am

Played poorly the 3 times we've seen him in the past 18 months.

WhyKnot

5/28/17 11:03am

Uh what?

Deleted

5/28/17 11:14am

Spring game, Bowl game, Mop-up duty....hasn't looked anything like he did in '15

WhyKnot

5/28/17 11:22am

Spring game? Come on now. Bowl game he passed 15 times.

Deleted

5/28/17 11:31am

But his 182 pass efficiency before the bowl game sucked

Coop

5/28/17 12:28pm

He went 22/33 last year for 3 TDs and 1 int. He also had two runs over 30 yards. I think fans have poor memories

YIsForBrigham

5/28/17 12:13pm

If someone went 20-21, CB would remember the 1.

Lip Gallagher

5/28/17 12:20pm

Remember only the one

qom

5/29/17 12:18am

Well we are asked to leave the 99 and search for the 1.....it may be a habit to

Coug98

5/29/17 6:09am

In mop-up duty, no?

WhyKnot

5/28/17 12:29pm

That includes a bowl game and the second half of SUU and UMASS

YIsForBrigham

5/28/17 12:36pm

Good point. Tho I expected him to look sharp and improved...didn't see either.

WhyKnot

5/28/17 12:40pm

The bowl game he was poor. But he was fine the other appearances.

SpiffCoug

5/28/17 12:42pm

Super ironic Turnpike Lane's prediction on that exact thread.

WhyKnot

5/28/17 12:52pm

In the pouring rain during the Wyoming game.

here's to hoping

5/28/17 12:37pm

That's kind of deceiving though

Byu_1988

5/28/17 1:52pm

Is it too much to expect perfection?

Y'zMan

5/28/17 6:52pm

I feel like 23/33 would have made the difference

TyPower2016

5/29/17 12:40am

Prior to that CB built him up to be at least a Heisman shoe in. Realistic I know

You mean that game that Wyoming's future first rounder

BrutustheBrash

5/28/17 11:07am

You have to wash out all of 2016 for tanner I think

cougarmanguy

5/28/17 11:09am

Calm down

HansMoleman

5/28/17 11:24am

Nothing against you my man

BrutustheBrash

5/28/17 11:39am

Seriously? Wyoming's QB Allen matched his season average vs BYU,Despite the rain

Gorum the Old

5/28/17 3:32pm

Other than 2 TD's being the same, all his stats are worse, some doubly so.

BYUtka

5/28/17 3:51pm

BYU was his second worst game -- pardon my hyperbole

BrutustheBrash

5/28/17 3:51pm

But even without the rain, their qb should had done worse against byu than

viper

5/28/17 4:03pm

True

BrutustheBrash

5/28/17 4:17pm

That is reassuring, I was too lazy to look that up

viper

5/28/17 4:51pm

Arguably the worst throw/decision I've seen

boxydutch

5/28/17 11:07am

It was bad but it wasn't even in the top one million of bad decisions

cougarmanguy

5/28/17 11:08am

Seriously watch again... where was that ball going? I have no idea what he saw

boxydutch

5/28/17 11:11am

I've watched it a lot. It was bad. So are lots of other throws in football

cougarmanguy

5/28/17 11:13am

Looks to me like he was trying to lob it to Kurtz

Seasider

5/28/17 11:27am

I think you're spot on with this.

PKCoug

5/28/17 3:57pm

These are by far the two most gigantic hyperboles I've ever seen back to back!!

cougarmikey

5/28/17 1:12pm

So that takes away from the good throws and decisions he has made?

BrutustheBrash

5/28/17 11:08am

No, just scares me... LSU will eat that kind of stuff up

boxydutch

5/28/17 11:13am

I'm afraid the LSU game could turn out like the Michigan game

BeardedSpock

5/28/17 11:28am

Hopefully it turns out more like the Michigan state game.

Ojiisan

5/28/17 11:37am

Even if LSU wrecks Tanner --

BrutustheBrash

5/28/17 11:44am

You haven't seen much football then, I've seen much worse.

Cougar TD

5/28/17 11:11am

Ok, maybe I exaggerated, but that was an awful decision

boxydutch

5/28/17 11:12am

Ever? Really?

KingDave

5/28/17 11:13am

You're still young. Have patience; you'll see worse.

ColoSpgs

5/28/17 12:47pm

47... hoping to see better!

boxydutch

5/28/17 4:34pm

I think so too but let me try to voice their worry

cougarmanguy

5/28/17 11:05am

Because he looked rusty in his first full game in a year ...

Dan

5/28/17 11:08am

I don't think he had to rely on 50/50 balls though

BrutustheBrash

5/28/17 11:10am

Always guaranteed to be a "50/50 ball" comment on a Tanner thread. lol

Lip Gallagher

5/28/17 11:44am

Nothing, this is Cougarboard. Aka, overreaction-board. Aka people are board so

LumberCoug

Yep

Haha I mean that's why I'm here, so no arguing there haha

BrutustheBrash

5/28/17 11:46am

Nothing

Jezza

5/28/17 11:11am

He became the starting QB...

byubananastand

5/28/17 11:29am

He became the starting qb due to injury.

WhyKnot

5/28/17 11:40am

This is wrong. He started plenty of games his freshman year and no one

SandYFan

5/28/17 11:50am

Tanner just had the misfortune of struggling in the last game of the season

BrutustheBrash

5/28/17 11:53am

He's a big boy. He can handle some questions.

SandYFan

5/28/17 12:07pm

So true. It's basically a rite of passage at this point

Machiavelli

5/28/17 4:25pm

Next year we will be lamenting that he is leaving for the NFL. expect a great yr

Probable Sacko

5/28/17 12:19pm

Because the coaches played a very mediocre QB over him all year last year.

Lance71

5/28/17 12:48pm

He hasn't beat Utah yet!

Cosmo4life

5/28/17 12:51pm

Taysom never did

BrutustheBrash

5/28/17 1:36pm

Taysom only played them twice: his sophomore year and this year.

Linkcoug

5/28/17 6:53pm

Biggest reason

Adrielle

5/28/17 1:01pm

I believe it

BrutustheBrash

5/28/17 1:36pm

We're a nervous bunch, that's why.

NacoCoug

5/28/17 1:48pm

If he does what you just predicted, everyone will have confidence in him.

Gerald-DeGroot

5/28/17 2:08pm

I'll give you my reason

Brigham

5/28/17 2:31pm

I don't know the reason that Taysom started over Tanner

BrutustheBrash

5/28/17 2:47pm

He was exceptionally clutch as a freshman

D.T. Survivor

5/28/17 2:33pm

People forget that he had a record setting freshman yera

BrutustheBrash

5/28/17 2:48pm

Wait, people on here aren't confident in Mangum????

Machiavelli

5/28/17 3:21pm

People are inexplicably down on him

BrutustheBrash

5/28/17 3:56pm

Totally agree with you. I made a poll out of curiousity...turns out that the

Machiavelli

5/28/17 4:04pm

I'm with you brother

BrutustheBrash

5/28/17 4:15pm

We saw Taysom not perform as well under ty, yet still beat out tanner. Then,

viper

5/28/17 4:21pm

I'm so excited for Mangum. It's one season overdue.

D.T. Survivor

5/28/17 4:25pm

He's just taking his turn as CB's new whipping boy.

che flaco

5/28/17 3:44pm

He kind of has that Jack Nicholson look.

brejol

5/28/17 4:05pm

Tanner lost the job of a throw-first QB to run-first QB

CougarCanuck76

5/28/17 4:32pm

Reports are didn't learn the system but just needs time and WRs who can ball

Y4LYFE

5/28/17 4:45pm

Tanner will win Heisman in 2018....

BYURider

5/28/17 5:53pm

Some people just can't help being pessimistic & finding ways to criticize.

TheLoneCougar

5/28/17 6:08pm

I haven't lost confidence in him, he is gonna be fine. He did look

CougarsFanSince80s

5/28/17 6:38pm

I'm with you

BrutustheBrash

5/28/17 7:59pm

Couldn't beat out a broken Taysom. Didnt look particularly good last year.

byubyu

5/28/17 8:44pm

He played with below par WR and OL groups last year

5/28/17 10:32pm

His skin didn't adapt like some synthetic rubbers do when exposed to moisture.

Q-grr

5/28/17 11:51pm

People are just scared he'll turn into Taysom because He's been bulking up.

ECU-BYUFAN

5/29/17 7:05am

No question he had much less confidence last year, looked much worse & more

cougforever

Couldn't beat out a QB that can't throw. Sucked in the bowl game.
