If BYU had the same set of receivers and offense for Mangum's full eligibility

He'd be looked at much differently now. He lost all his playmakers, got stuck with a weak supporting cast, and played in a system that was bad for him.

He never developed his reading defenses skill and that's why Wilson surpassed him as a true freshman.

IMO, it's Heaps or Troy Hinds.

Huge bummer. This sounds like we're calling out guys & don't see it as his fault really.

I didn't read it like that. I'm disappointed he was injured and couldn't perform

If it's not a calling out, then I agree. Hinds would be up there. Such a bummer how that went for him & BYU.

Maybe TNT is misremembering. Hinds wasn't a 5* recruit

Maybe not, but his offer list was as impressive as it gets.

He arm was a wreck most of his career. He never had a chance.

Tanner Mangum brought us the win against Nebraska and the Boise State

Look at Mangum's resume. Some solid wins. Then look at what he endured

I don't understand how that means he threw the balls at the receivers' feet.

That is a perfect example of throwing it up and hoping Matthews gets it.

We aren't comparing Mangum to Wilson, only that Mangum wasn't the most

I'm not going to bag a player who had numerous injury problems

Injuries are disappointing though.

That doesn't make the player a disappointment. Splitting hairs, maybe, but I don't think so.
