All fair points.

You think too much about silly things.

Seeing him on SC top 10 was a great moment to be a cougar fan.

I love Tanner, but no way is he an NFL caliber QB. Good guy, average QB

People said the same about Taysom, and now he's in the NFL.

Not exactly the same thing. He's in the NFL because he is a freak athlete

Taysom single handedly dominated multiple games.

If a guy is done at BYU, no need to highlight his negatives.
