To Taysomites: Explain why TM doesn't deserve the chance to show what he's got..

Shteve

Just to correct the record, 7 drops, 9 drops, and 6 drops in the games that I've

Cougarrrs

10/25/16 3:12am

Drop rates like that point to something other than poor WRs primarily.

mantis mutu

10/25/16 4:15am

For the record ...

ManicBlue

10/25/16 5:03am

That's true of ALL QB ratings.

mantis mutu

10/25/16 5:16am

Also, we have to factor yards per completion to determine just how poor that

Call me an apologist if you want but I'm just trying to give

I'm just saying many of the media analysts for BYU are being Taysom apologists

ManicBlue

10/25/16 11:00am

Coaches have stated otherwise

Mises

10/25/16 11:57am

Taysom also does not have the ability to throw receivers open.

Shteve

10/25/16 11:59am

hahahaha ... you can't 'throw receivers open' when those receivers can't

ManicBlue

10/25/16 1:08pm

Watch the NFL

SC-Zoobie

10/25/16 4:26pm

You must not understand what throwing a receiver open is.

BigTD

10/26/16 4:41pm

Taysom is the 111th rated FBS quarterback. It's not because of dropped passes.

ManicBlue

10/25/16 10:02am

That's a pretty bad stat even with our schedule and the people around the QB

deljdc

10/25/16 12:09pm

I have seen this general statement a few times, and it bothers me

10/25/16 9:51am

WR drops aren't solely on the WR.

Bryceo19

10/25/16 6:13am

If it hits them in the hands, then yes, it is solely on the receivers.

Freddie Cougar

10/25/16 7:13am

Says someone who has never played WR... that is cliche and ignorant.

TheLoneCougar

10/25/16 8:05am

LOL. That's exactly what I played. Any WR would say the exact same thing.

Freddie Cougar

10/25/16 8:15am

Right...keep using that cliche term. Not accurate at all.

TheLoneCougar

10/25/16 8:22am

What cliche term? Last game several very catchable balls were dropped

Freddie Cougar

10/25/16 8:26am

Yes, but not every ball has been "catchable" this year.

TheLoneCougar

10/25/16 8:39am

Good thing I never said that then. What I said is if it hits them in the hands

Freddie Cougar

10/25/16 9:53am

LOL... Your right I bet most WR would argue that it's not their job to catch a ball...

byu_coug

10/25/16 8:26am

Did I say that anywhere, seriously? Please pull up a quote.

TheLoneCougar

10/25/16 8:40am

LOL...

byu_coug

10/25/16 9:08am

Having played WR in HS, I never blamed QB for any of my drops

Y4LYFE

10/25/16 8:35am

And that is probably the mentality that you should have had at the time.

TheLoneCougar

10/25/16 8:46am

There is a difference in an amazing effort to touch a ball...

byu_coug

10/25/16 9:29am

Is every ball that hits a receivers hands equally catchable?

j20

10/25/16 10:34am

Backups are also there to provide

I would love to see this broken down. I don't believe the numbers. Are we

Ash

10/25/16 9:11am

Yet u happily count Moroni Top 10 acrobatic TD catch as a completion...SMH

DumpsterFire

10/25/16 9:17am

Huh? That was a great throw.

Mises

10/25/16 12:04pm

I don't think anyone is saying TM "doesn't deserve a chance"

byu_coug

10/25/16 3:13am

When he says "I don't think" you understand the value of his opinion and post

Oh! That all of CB could be as wise as dfudge!

STANDARD = record against current P5. BM was (23-31) @ 42.5%, KS is 50%

farsurfer

10/25/16 11:05am

A coaches popularity goes down 10% every year he is in charge. Liking a coach

Beeg

10/25/16 12:19pm

As far as my standard (record vs. P5 schools) KS beats BM 50% > 42.5% !!!!!!

farsurfer

10/26/16 3:33am

Your expectations must have been too high this season. He's done alright.

j20

10/26/16 8:20am

I'm just saying he is doing better than Bronco did -plus he is likable w/+energy

farsurfer

10/26/16 12:39pm

He has "done alright" but isn't "doing alright" what pushed BM out?

...and yet here we are.

Beeg

Because that is not how running a football team works.

Six Foot Seven

10/25/16 4:28am

Competition doesn't work? Meritocracy is invalid?

Beeg

10/25/16 6:32am

No, they do. And your claims for otherwise are unfounded.

Six Foot Seven

10/25/16 6:35am

Speaking of childish and stupid...

Beeg

10/25/16 6:40am

Riley Nelson was a COMPLETELY different situation, chump.

Six Foot Seven

10/25/16 6:45am

The margins are slightly different, but the argument is exactly the same.

Beeg

10/25/16 7:15am

The bad play didn't begin with the broken back. There were issues and criticism

TheLoneCougar

10/25/16 8:08am

How do you know there hasn't been a re-evaluation process??

byu_coug

10/25/16 7:58am

Perhaps they have evaluated. If so, at 4 losses maybe we ought to be talking

Beeg

10/25/16 8:43am

FIRE THE COACHES!!!

byu_coug

10/25/16 9:16am

Speaking of baby and the bathwater... I'm not arguing for firing the coaches,

Beeg

10/25/16 12:29pm

3 losses to top 16 teams? you think we are better than that?

10/25/16 10:07am

RE: How do you know there hasn't been a re-evaluation process??

hamaca

10/25/16 8:44am

Does that argument include your stated opinion, or just mine bc it's different?

Beeg

10/25/16 11:30am

WRs drop 5-15 per game

Y4LYFE

10/25/16 6:18am

5-15?! Wow, never seen 15 dropped balls in a game...

TheLoneCougar

10/25/16 8:09am

Whoever is to blame, coaches know best and hold no blame An opinion otherwise..

marklar39

10/25/16 6:26am

you earn playing time in practice. it's that simple. despite your claim otherwise, Tanner does have a chance to show

HarlemCoug

10/25/16 6:49am

Tanner will get and should get some playing time in the coming weeks

CougarsFanSince80s

10/25/16 8:45am

Sorry, this post was in reply to the OP

CougarsFanSince80s

10/25/16 8:49am

And listening to the Royal Blue podcast, they say he isn't better at practice.

quikryptonite

10/25/16 8:52am

Deserve? LOL. What does that have to do with anything?

Freddie Cougar

10/25/16 6:58am

It all comes down to having confidence in the coaches.

PJMort

10/25/16 7:05am

I'm not a Taysomite but doesn't TM get that chance in practice? preseason?

(Private)

10/25/16 7:46am

He will.....against SUU and UMASS. Maybe even Utah St.

CObluezone

10/25/16 7:59am

I think Tanner deserves no shot...

Eddie

10/25/16 9:08am

So once we all decide TM should get a chance, then what? What's the point?

Machiavelli

10/25/16 9:15am

That's what I was thinking.

dfudge

10/25/16 9:31am

Because Taysom is doing well. That was easy.

Mark

10/25/16 9:15am

which game was out of reach where that opportunity was obvious?

10/25/16 9:26am

He's going to be playing against the crap teams moving forward...

RE: To Taysomites: Explain why TM doesn't deserve the chance to show what he's

Cookiecoug

10/25/16 9:40am

What if he doesn't? We're assuming TH will blow these team out of the water.

Ash

10/25/16 9:42am

I don't think Taysom supporters are trying to bar Tanner from starting

Litigation Jackson

10/25/16 9:47am

Can't explain it. Next.

hamaca

10/25/16 10:31am

FYI, only ~20% of CBers really want Tanner to start. Vast majority is happy

Machiavelli

10/25/16 10:50am

LOL Your "scientific" poll is just 2 hrs old..

DumpsterFire

10/25/16 11:05am

Hold on, where did I say "scientific"???????????????????????????????

Machiavelli

10/25/16 12:07pm

LOL 25% now want Tanner, and Rising...LOL

DumpsterFire

10/25/16 11:07am

Yep, that's how polls work my friend.

Machiavelli

10/25/16 12:08pm

Beyond the fact that a seasoned competent veteran coach doesn't think so?

yewtsrnogood

10/25/16 12:40pm

This is correct.
