shakarocks All-American

Danny Ainge made it to the bigs in two professional sports and had the skills to be a very good D1 football player if he had chosen that route.

Steve Young was also ridiculously athletic.

Taysom Hill. Top ten BYU QB?

Nope.

Don’t know. But I think he’s the best athlete to ever don the Y

Hard to argue with your logic.

Don’t forget people like Ziggy Ansah

Pure athleticism....yes....and no one else is close....

Young was just as athletic if not more

Young was never the strongest lifter pound for pound like Taysom was in college and is in the NFL...

Bonoman

5/27/18 12:01am

young was a better athlete

PenrynCoug

Even Young himself said Taysom was a better Athlete.

Because he was slower and weaker?

ZooBlue

That's because Young really didn't lift a lot

shakarocks

5/27/18 12:06am

Just because you can list a lot doesn't mean you are a great athlete.

You completely leave out coordination

shakarocks

5/27/18 12:09am

That’s right, Taysom can’t throw at all or play basketball or do anything else...all he can do is lift and run fast..SMH

Bonoman

5/27/18 12:34am

He didn't say that. He's basically saying Steve Young is more coordinated

Yunit

He actually struggled with throwing to a degree

No. Steve Young

Carter and sheide were really good too

Overlooked imo.

I'd put Virgil Carter in the top 10 ahead of Doman and Hill.

Agree with this. History needs to be put in perspective. Top 10 yes.

Hard to judge. Had he stayed healthy and played a standard schedule

Yes.

Drop Doman for Hill and you’re good.

This article has a good list

Top ten talent, not top ten performance.

How I feel too

Little Britches

I love Hill, but he is not a top ten. Never really had a great full year, never even beat Utah, no post season success

How about Gifford Nielson, he also started on bball team as freshman

baldcoug74

5/27/18 9:58pm

Not sure I would use "beating Utah" as a measuring stick.

Eddie

5/27/18 11:21pm

Very true. Even when Gifford was QB we were beating Utah consistently.

If Taysom makes it in the NFL as some are now anticipating, he will be remembered differently.

Taysom is at the top of the "what if" list. He could have challenged for the
