TM doesn't get enough credit for his mobility. Sure, he's not TH vs TX but very servicable for a QB.

Do you realize how many programs would love to have a 9-4 record?

BrutustheBrash

3/2/17 10:16am

That is such a simplistic view. I'm glad you're overjoyed with nine wins in 2016

SandYFan

3/2/17 10:16am

No one said anything about "overjoyed".

soupie

3/2/17 10:18am

9 win seasons are a success -- especially for a first year head coach

BrutustheBrash

It's a shame you've considered driving off a cliff because of a 9-4 season.

I don't agree with this. VERY FEW predicted 9 wins last year.

AFcoug7

3/2/17 8:17pm

No, they didn't. No, they wouldn't. Nor would any coach.

southernfriedcougar

3/2/17 10:14am

"Nor would any coach" - Plenty of coaches would make this kind of promise.

reddead

You don't promise starting spots. You promise competition.

But when I was a coach on NCAA 2013 I promised recruits starting positions or

The OL should be more solid this year. Will be more experienced if guys come back healthy. It needs to be.

Turnpike Lane

3/2/17 9:42am

Has Hans ever had anything positive to say about the OL or DL?

ColoSpgs

3/2/17 10:07am

He was actually very complimentary of the interior guys on the OL

ManicBlue

Having Lapuaho back will help a ton, and IMO Kieffer Longson is going to be a

Lapuaho is expected to be back - haven't heard otherwise. But, as far as

In some ways better. Taysom took a ton of sacks by waiting too long and

BOISE ST!!!

Shteve

It gets ignored because he uses it to find receivers, not to run.

southernfriedcougar

3/2/17 11:45am

Tanner always, always keeps his eyes down field when scrambling

cougarmanguy

3/2/17 11:47am

To me, that's what scrambling for a QB should look like. Tanner won't switch to a RB mid-play but that's good.

soupie

3/2/17 11:51am

Amen

cougarmanguy

3/2/17 12:05pm

That's why receivers got open downfield too. They knew he would throw it.

That 3rd play from scrimmage vs Boise in 2015....man, what a thing of beauty.

I think it's more about timing than throws being "spot-on." Our poor pass

jaba166

3/3/17 1:09am

Even when healthy, Taysom's pocket presence wasn't great.

Downtown

3/2/17 8:48pm

Tanner is an anticipation thrower, which you want. Taysom was a wait until

ag4cougs

3/2/17 11:18am

Um, how do you know that? Has Tanner run that kind of offense?

Freddie Cougar

3/2/17 2:19pm

Type of offense has nothing to do with this

southernfriedcougar

3/2/17 2:26pm

It absolutely does. It wasn't called for in the Anae 2.0 offense, so Tanner

Freddie Cougar

3/2/17 2:37pm

Timing is part of every passing offense. Anae 2.0, 1.0, pro set, spread.

ag4cougs

3/2/17 2:58pm

Um, because good QB play requires anticipation throws. Did you watch

ag4cougs

3/2/17 2:57pm

You realize Tanner played in several games this year, right?

rggee

Look at the best NFL QBs they arent sitting in pocket for 20+ seconds

Y4LYFE

3/2/17 1:56pm

But they do sit in the pocket for more than 2 seconds,

byu_coug

They also pose a threat at two seconds or less with their arm.

Shore10

Tanner could easily hand the ball of to Jamal and throw quick slant and outs

on the flipside, our OL would pass protect a lot better if the QB's didn't hold
