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

ChiCityCoug

Yeah, that's a fair point.

Ham

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?

youngbuck

5/9/18 4:36pm

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

Watching Taysom overthrow those guys when they are open deep would

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.

mvtoro

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.

eddog

5/9/18 6:51pm

Probably true. Recency bias at work.

Ham

5/10/18 11:25am

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

Yunit

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

5/9/18 11:28pm

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

5/10/18 9:06am

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

5/12/18 2:54am

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

viper

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.

viper

5/14/18 10:49am

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

Yunit

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.

Ned Schneebly

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

Y4LYFE

In other words, you don't understand the job of a QB

kimdaddy35

I would take Joe Montana or Lebron

Nope.
