No? If the starting QB is awesome, no one will call for his backup.

My promise to CB. Tanner vs. Wilson

Adrielle Stable Genius

Team Wilson, Unite!

If Tanner sucks early, he's done. And if Wilson sucks, ride it out.

If it's a tie, shouldn't youth win out?

If it's a tie in practice, logic would seem to dictate that the guy with the experience is who you go with

Adrielle

Sure, if you don't care about the future.

SandYFan

8/21/18 10:53am

There is a very strong argument that if you start Wilson with this early schedule that includes two

Adrielle

If he's that weak, bench him. I don't want him around.

You clearly have never coached football. Bringing guys along slowly is a practice that

Adrielle

8/21/18 11:18am

It's certainly a practice, it's not the only practice.

I think he's more like Max Hall than Jake Heaps

I hope so. And I have no personal knowledge of his mental toughness

Adrielle

I agree with this - bad idea to start a promising freshman against a schedule

The future is sometime in the future. I want BYU to win today.

If the experience guy isn't better, you'd have to think w/experience youth

Here is the real question for me.

That's cool and stuff. It doesn't matter who the coaches pick, the fans will

SandYFan

That hasn't happened since 2009.

DrKennethNoisewater

8/21/18 10:49am

Right....

rggee

8/21/18 10:50am

Truth. No one called for Max's backups. Since then, it's been open season.

Uh huh

Let's not pretend Taysom's job was secure his entire career. Dude had some

SandYFan

8/21/18 10:52am

When were people calling for his backups?? I must have missed it.

rggee

8/21/18 10:54am

I guess 2016 under Detmer. Other than that he was the man.

rggee

8/21/18 10:54am

Yeah that time he recording a sparkling QBR of 38.7 vs Utah in 2013 was amazing.

SandYFan

8/21/18 10:58am

Didn't max?

rggee

8/21/18 11:07am

He sure did.

SandYFan

8/21/18 11:09am

Sadly that terrible game was still higher than Magnum's last year average

Mr. Scoobs

8/21/18 11:13am

An amazing lack of great quarterbacking for BYU the last decade.

SandYFan

8/21/18 11:14am

Isn't that the guy people wanted benched in 2016 for the backup that is now the

DrKennethNoisewater

8/21/18 10:54am

Correct.

SandYFan

8/21/18 10:54am

True, the 2016 Detmer year. The other 4, not the case.

There were calls for Stewart after the 2014 Spring game into the summer

Turns out when you go from top 30 QB as freshman to the bottom 30 as a JR

You say this as if nothing else changed except Tanner went from freshman to jr

If either's confidence is shot by being pulled, then I want the other.

Adrielle

If you starter is not working why would you not try your backup?
