Taysom this year. I don't buy it. I'm fine with their decision but I think that excuse is dumb.

Josh Rosen. As much as CB says 'but Tanner outplayed him!!!!' he still is better

Poorly against UCLA?? What game were you watching? He was very sharp at times,

Tanner out played ChosenRosen that game...

he had them driving to win and Anae pulled the plug on him

Yeah, I could be convinced to upgrade UCLA from "Poorly" to mediocre.......

Who was his RB last year?

What a crock

Some people see any praise of Tanner as an attack on Taysom.

SandYFan

Agreed. Too many have chosen sides in the Taysom vs Tanner debate and

I think Taysom took a step backwards why couldn't Mangum as well?

I think what people aren't sure about is how quickly it's going to come

Very different offense in terms of making reads and what some seem to be

I think they were reverse engineered by people who couldn't figure out why

Is it possible that one QB grasped it just a bit quicker than another without

I think the bowl will likely be a good trial run, and he will be sprinting ahead

Bob Vance

Wait do we know for sure Taysom is done?

SandYFan

11/28/16 10:27am

rumor is he tore ligaments and will need surgery

franklyvulgar

11/28/16 10:27am

From most reports, the reason Mangum didn't start was fear of him getting hurt

braddahmike

11/28/16 10:28am

Where and when has that ever been publicly stated by the coaching staff? Or is

basman

BYU lost 3 of 5 starters from last year, and replaced them with 2 FCS transfers(SUU) and a freshman RM.

Thinking about Wilcox starting instead of Eide just makes me sad

Coop

11/28/16 10:36am

Eide worked hard and gave full effort, but Wilcox was just more talented and experienced. That loss hurt big time.

Turnpike Lane

11/28/16 10:38am

BYU also replaced running back by committee with Jamaal Williams. Take him out

I hope you are right. But the reports I've read on CB say Tanner looked lost

What are these rumored reports? A lot of hearsay.

The idea that he can't grasp the offense is fake news.

Thats what we all want to believe, but my sources said Taysom was far and away
