a healthy and experienced Riley Nelson.

Well, to be honest, neither would have been undefeated since they would likely have played Alabama in the national championship game.

Don't believe me? The played 5 teams that finished the season ranked. That doesn't include the P5 teams Utah, Washington St., and Georgia Tech. They also played a pair of top 10 teams back to back in the latter half of the season.

Please. Healthy Taysom Hill + better team + softer schedule? Fireworks.

I love TH's athleticism as much as the next guy, but I don't think that

Yeah, that's a fair point.

Taysom could throw. Remember the Nebraska game. He was never in a good passing

Health Taysom isn’t really Taysom.

With the receivers and o line Beck had?

Yes. Brown, Harline, Coats, Jacobson, Allen, the whole 2006 team.

I hope Taysom Hill starts in New Orleans, wins a Super Bowl or two, plays for

Come on, you know he is an injury waiting to happen.

Beck had a better arm, Hill was better in all other areas

Beck had a better arm, made quicker decisions, made better decisions, was more

This is true to the degree that “Taysom had better legs. Beck was better in all other areas” is true.

Yes. Beck was a great QB. Taysom was a great athlete, mediocre arm.

Not really. Taysom had better legs, Beck was better in all other areas...

That's a tough claim because we had a full year to see a healthy john

I think you're forgetting how good John Beck was.

Probably true. Recency bias at work.

Ham

Exactly. There's a reason he got drafted in the 2nd round.

No thanks....

Nah. Beck was a master in the pocket and a guru in that offense. Could make

A healthy Beck would have gone undefeated too

Definitely love Taysom but he had a major flaw, not an accurate enough passer.

BlueForLife

In 2014, he completed 67% of his passes. He also averaged 107 rushing ypg and

Is this TIC? Healthy Riley Nelson could never replace Max or Beck in any

Yunit

Not TIC. A healthy Riley is a very good college QB and BYU's 2012 Defense was

Lol you love yourself some Riley Nelson. Dude was average to below average.

Yunit

No way riley was average. He was definitely on the bottom of the other side of your spectrum

MaxxPower

Statistically, he had a season that was probably top 20% of qb rating byu qb

Sure but name the BYU QBs that were worst than Riley. My money is that

Yunit

5/12/18 6:02pm

I could name plenty of QBs that had a worse season than Rileys best.

Name the QBs not named Heaps that you would start Riley over against the same

In his prime, he was better than a lot of underclassmen QB greats

It is a tragedy that we never got to see him play a full season while 100% (not

Would it have changed anything in 2006 though? Beck was stellar and, IMO, was not the reason why we lost any games.

In 06 TH wouldn't have stayed healthy. Take JB.
