This tweet is really sad

BYU QBs records as a starter vs P5 teams (+Notre Dame) since 2010:

Riley Nelson: 4-4
Jake Heaps: 1-3
Taysom Hill: 8-8
Tanner Mangum: 0-7

I get that the competition has been stiffer than those QBs listed but still is pretty telling

This tweet is really sad

Ouch. Tanner beat Nebraska at the end though

OU Cougar

8/14/18 10:11am

Wasn't a starter for that game.

abacaxi22

8/14/18 10:35am

Which is probably why he said "at the end though".

Eddie

8/14/18 1:12pm

Wait - you gave me a thumbs down for that? 🙂

Eddie

8/14/18 4:17pm

Absolutely...lol. I understood what he was saying, but the original tweet

abacaxi22

8/15/18 8:21am

Well, heaven forbid anyone EVER state something outside the original...

Eddie

8/15/18 9:06am

I love it! Keep it coming!

abacaxi22

8/15/18 9:25am

Sorry - had to give you a thumbs down for posting outside of the original topic.

Eddie

8/15/18 9:34am

I’ll bite. Curious why the angst on a thumbs down?

Cougstreak

8/15/18 11:28am

Life is defined by the cumulative # of thumbs down you get in all social media

Frank Castiglione

8/15/18 11:33am

Haha! Reminds me of this:

Eddie

8/15/18 11:44am

You my friend get a thumbs up! lol

abacaxi22

8/15/18 2:31pm

No angst, I just thought it was funny.

Eddie

8/15/18 11:41am

Ouch. That stings. Tanner looks really bad there.

Richbyu

8/14/18 10:14am

Ouch. I just stubbed my toe.

Hedonic Threadmill

8/14/18 10:14am

It's more an indictment of the team THAN the QB alone, I would say

Frank Castiglione

8/14/18 10:15am

'than'

RE: 'than'

Frank Castiglione

8/14/18 12:41pm

Aw shucks, don't feel bad. It's an all too common grammar error here on CB.

Soy Celeste

8/14/18 12:51pm

QBs get too much credit in the wins and too much blame in the losses.

TheLoneCougar

8/14/18 1:36pm

QB's W-L record is even more meaningless than a pitcher's.

8/14/18 10:15am

but his "era" against those schools would be about 5.95

smokymountainrain

8/14/18 10:30am

ERA is not a good statistic either.

8/14/18 10:35am

then use whatever measure you want, his play was bad vs p5 in 2015

smokymountainrain

8/14/18 10:37am

Way too many WP

CougarMike

8/14/18 11:40am

A couple of things: 1. That tweet probably includes

gwalker

8/14/18 10:17am

And his victory against BSU doesn't count either, though they were better than

viper

8/14/18 10:18am

Taysom played almost the entire first half and all of the third.

Left Shark Coug

8/14/18 10:32am

I thought Hill only played part of a drive in the third. but my memory isn't

gwalker

8/14/18 10:33am

Also, you need to look what P5 teams each QB beat.

Cougstreak

8/14/18 11:46am

And honestly, what is the point of this tweet?

Frank Castiglione

8/14/18 10:20am

Way to go Riley and Taysom. How about Ben Olsen??

8/14/18 10:21am

How many of Mangum's 7 losses came during 2017?

ColoSpgs

8/14/18 10:34am

he lost every game he started vs P5 in 2015. 4 losses in '15, 3 in 2017

smokymountainrain

8/14/18 10:36am

An won a huge one he didn't start. He played very well in some of those loses...

swamp yankee

8/14/18 12:20pm

he didn't outstage rosen, he simply wasn't as bad as rosen. but he was bad

smokymountainrain

8/14/18 1:13pm

Going against a solid D with a pedestrian O as a recent RM--on the road

swamp yankee

8/14/18 1:50pm

All but 1 of Tanners games were away from home. All but 1 were winning teams.

Blue Cat

8/14/18 10:38am

But it is so fun being negative instead

Coogar2

8/14/18 3:14pm

All in on Wilson!

Pimpin4Paradise

8/14/18 10:44am

Tanner by far had the worst supporting cast in ‘17

Run-DMT

8/14/18 10:58am

Here’s what really irks me: vs. Utar -

UNHuskerCoug

8/14/18 11:17am

That’s kind of a dumb way to look at it though.

itsuptoyou

8/14/18 11:26am

Well, the whole team went 4-9 last year, so that contributed.

Benfica1

8/14/18 11:42am

That stat convinces me to bring on Wilson. We've what Tanner has to offer.

IronPotato

8/14/18 12:00pm

I say we know what Ty had to offer.

itsuptoyou

8/14/18 12:20pm

That's fair. I think he also had a dynamite WR core under Anae. However,

IronPotato

8/15/18 12:25pm

and people really want Tanner to start this year lololo

dizthewiz

8/14/18 12:19pm

John Beck lost his first 7 starts vs. P5s. His only win came in his last game.

Blue Cat

8/14/18 12:19pm

That is unpossible. Beck played in the NFL

Coogar2

8/14/18 3:11pm

Who did Heaps beat?

Jurisprudence

8/14/18 12:25pm

KVN and the BYU defense beat Ole Miss for him.

Gorum the Old

8/14/18 12:26pm

Meaningless

shakarocks

8/14/18 12:47pm

Just feeling the need to tweet that is sad, then posting it again on CB, LAME

Pretorian

8/14/18 1:22pm

What’s sad is that everyone is making excuses for poor preformance

IceBlueCoug

8/14/18 1:33pm

Whats sad is that

shakarocks

8/14/18 1:57pm

But at the day the only stat that really matter is W's

IceBlueCoug

8/14/18 2:07pm

And it's all on Tanner right? The 32 other starters + coaches are blameless?

Frank Castiglione

8/14/18 2:14pm

I get that and totally agree, but, but Jake Heaps got at least 1 win vs a P5 team.

IceBlueCoug

8/14/18 2:24pm

I 100% agree. Completions aren't all on the QB, and neither are ints

Frank Castiglione

8/14/18 2:31pm

Tanner played well vs UCLA and Utah in ‘15. No one would have beaten UM in ‘15

Run-DMT

8/14/18 2:16pm

Stats don't come close to telling the whole story

shakarocks

8/14/18 2:34pm

we need to go to the AAC. BYU just isnt a P5

Y4LYFE

8/14/18 2:14pm

Let’s join the Ivy League

Coogar2

8/14/18 3:10pm

AAC answers ZERO questions... we lost to UMASS.... why do people think that

Pretorian

8/14/18 3:24pm

Yikes

8/14/18 3:04pm

Christian Stewart was 1-0 vs P5. What does that say about Tanner?

PokeBowl

8/14/18 4:19pm

Funny how he was left out

Pretorian

8/14/18 6:04pm

This tweet is meaningless... Context matters. Put Mangum on some of those

joesemenoff

8/14/18 5:26pm

Go TM! Definitely needs to start!
