Not accurate IMO, but that is the sentiment.

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?

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

Cougar TD

Bored

LumberCoug

5/28/17 11:39am

Yep

Cougar TD

5/28/17 11:42am

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.

mmm...drink up everyone, drink up while you can. I love koolaid season.

5/29/17 5:43am

From the only game I saw in person (ECU) the kid is competitor that can flat out

ECU-BYUFAN

5/29/17 7:05am

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

cougforever

5/29/17 9:24am

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