Plainly said most of the time Staley didn't want to be there. Had to have others

coug10278

7/25/17 11:35am

Staley was the best BYU RB ever.

Gerald-DeGroot

7/25/17 11:52am

Four years of Jenkins over anyone else.

ag4cougs

7/25/17 12:28pm

I was a huge Jenkins fan. But he didn't move like Luke.

Gerald-DeGroot

7/25/17 12:53pm

Whatever. Luke is for sure top 2 of all time.

Hawk Talons

7/25/17 11:54am

Brady has a point. Staley was an edge runner, that didnt like running between

TBabyCougs

7/25/17 12:25pm

Who cares what "kind" of runner he was as long as the chains are moving.

Metallicat

7/25/17 12:36pm

So Staley played defense too? Pretty sure having Staley wouldnt have kept Hawaii

TBabyCougs

7/25/17 12:59pm

How would TOP have changed if Luke had played?

Metallicat

7/25/17 1:12pm

Thats a great point. But not 27 points worth. Maybe we could have put luke on

TBabyCougs

7/25/17 2:47pm

We would have outscored Hawaii with Luke. He was that good.

TBabyCougs

7/26/17 10:44am

Jamaal is not a close second. He wasn't even a Doak walker finalist.

BYU81

7/25/17 6:16pm

And Staley never made it through a season . . .

TBabyCougs

Awards aren't everything...

Steely_Don

7/25/17 7:09pm

You're right, because he was better

ALC

7/25/17 8:33pm

No, he didn't have a point. If Staley got the edge, he was gone.

messi

7/25/17 1:09pm

Not completely true

BYUgeezer

7/25/17 3:31pm

No its not Brady is wrong. LUKE ran a counter

CarolinaCoug

7/25/17 10:53pm

Staley ran physically between the tackles all the time.

Quacker

I agree w/ you, but I think Brady was saying that Staley didn't LIKE to run betw

Brady has knees and is being a tool. Staley was in pain...Serious,crippling

CarolinaCoug

He seems to be a bit of a loose cannon.

Luke was awesome. What could be be smacking on?

Y4LYFE

Luke was awesome . . . Only one season. That was a big part of it

his comments RE staley are completely indefensible

nashty

7/25/17 11:32am

Which part?

coug10278

7/25/17 11:37am

him ranking luke as #6 all time at BYU as an RB:

nashty

7/25/17 11:43am

Yeah, that part I didn't agree with either. Downplayed his skill too much.

coug10278

7/25/17 11:47am

Yeah...that's crazy. Dude averaged 8+ a carry for an entire season,

RalphWiggam

7/25/17 11:48am

Clears throat..11+..! Eleven!!

CarolinaCoug

7/26/17 12:54pm

Okay I love Luke...but he didn't average 11+ for an entire season. His best

RalphWiggam

his asinine claim that the OC and OL created a doak walker winning RB out of

nashty

7/25/17 11:54am

And if Staley was a system guy why was the system so bad the next 3 years?

RalphWiggam

7/25/17 12:34pm

Or even the same year when Staley was out.

NewMexiCoug

7/25/17 12:54pm

Maybe the dumbest thing I have ever heard from Poppinga...

reezonablecoug

7/25/17 3:11pm

And he's said tons of stupid things.

foofcoug

7/25/17 3:13pm

I'm a Staley homer (son named Luke), but to not say he is Top 5 is crazy

Vague posts should carry a 24 hour ban.

here's to hoping

7/25/17 11:41am

He certainly has strong opinions, and he's not afraid to share them. Sometimes,

Luke gave it his all and paid a terrible price to be a Cougar, he deserves

Windward_Coug

7/25/17 11:49am

Luke is getting his jersey retired and Poppinga is not. I think Staley takes

Thrill

that is exactly why Pop is hating on Luke....

BYU4eVeR

7/25/17 2:43pm

Sad for Poppinga we can all see this so clearly.

BYU doesn't have very many iconic players post Lavell, not a good look for

You lose all credibility by ripping Staley. If anything,

7/25/17 12:03pm

D players really should stick to their side of the ball and analysis

DumpsterFire

7/25/17 4:39pm

And with that BPop's credibility drops dramatically. Why eat your own? Sad.

Hank Rearden

7/25/17 12:12pm

I could be wrong, but I can't think of a player post LE that has done what Luke

mosterlow

7/25/17 12:13pm

It was big, but not Jimmer big. Point taken, tho.

ag4cougs

7/25/17 12:29pm

However you view him, he was the most talented RB in BYU history.

coolblue

7/25/17 12:25pm

Luke Staley had the best season as a BYU RB ever

Staley had afterburners like no other...he and and JW are the most memorable...

SoutheastIdaCoug

7/25/17 2:08pm

It seemed really personal for him, and not so much objective.

Thundergun Express

7/25/17 2:08pm

Staley is one of the greatest players I've ever watched. Short list for me:

frontrowcougar

7/25/17 2:11pm

You were too young to see McMahon play at BYU, I'm guessing

7/25/17 7:35pm

You say Poppinga is no-nonsense, but the better word would be brash. His take on Staley is total nonsense.

Roko's Basilisk

7/25/17 3:06pm

This is correct. Not even in his top 5. Basically, that's just saying to the

Cougarfan777

7/25/17 4:40pm

Luke Staley is by far the most Pure talent RB to ever play for BYU! I agree

Northern Blue

7/25/17 3:58pm

That's his opinion I respect it. IMO Luke and Jamaal are 1 and 2.

TheFed

7/25/17 4:23pm

That's his opinion and I don't respect it.

reezonablecoug

7/25/17 5:04pm

Lol. 8+ yards per carry is like a Poppinga victory every carry.

ALUF 1990

7/25/17 6:38pm

Poppinga reminds me a lot of Chael Sonnen
