Zach Wilson's record against G5 teams:

That’s not good.

Brigham

I must say I was disappointed in his regression this year. I haven't completely

See also: Heaps and Mangum. It's a pattern.

I'm concerned this may be the case. Heaps and Mangum's best years were...

Well, he did go 6 weeks through the year without throwing the football

That was through the season....how many weeks during the off-season was he

I am hoping problems this year are due to injury and things will improve

Yikes!

BSU was even worse than just "drove to the goal line but couldn't score"

byubyu

1/8/20 1:44pm

Gotta say, his decision making in the RPO left a lot to be desired

ldssdl

1/8/20 2:15pm

That was as a true freshman in his 3rd ever start

donnerstag

1/8/20 2:17pm

After a timeout right? Coaches are part to blame but everyone knows you can't

byubyu

1/8/20 2:20pm

Yet Baylor Romney in his first career start converts key 4th downs in a win

Dangerous

1/8/20 2:22pm

Go watch the film and see what Baylor does on that play. Then return and report.

All-American

1/8/20 3:39pm

I'll tell what he didn't do the entire game: give the ball to the other team.

byubyu

1/8/20 4:10pm

Zach has never fumbled on a QB sneak

puntersarepeople

1/8/20 4:51pm

There's byubyu to insult players in only a way he knows how like usual.

And where is he wrong ?

GLad he has a healthy offseason this year. No excuses heading into 2020 now. Takes the next step or gets replaced.

Turnpike Lane

1/8/20 1:44pm

He'll never get replaced unless he's hurt. KS has benched exactly zero QB's in

Ash

1/8/20 2:12pm

What games should he have benched the QB? Genuinely asking

rcbyufan

1/8/20 2:14pm

SDSU and Hawaii.

Dangerous

1/8/20 2:15pm

For Critchlow or for the hobbled Romney?

rcbyufan

1/8/20 2:25pm

Hall was cleared and ready against Hawaii. SDSU harder to say.

Dangerous

1/8/20 2:28pm

Nobody seems to agree, but I would start Hall. Best upside of the whole bunch.

Forzaitalia

1/8/20 3:50pm

Off the top of my head. Mangum vs Cal. ZW vs SDSU and Hawaii.

Ash

1/8/20 2:17pm

I would agree with your approach.

rcbyufan

1/8/20 2:26pm

Magnum won vs Wisconsin. Baylor and Jaren were possibly injured

puntersarepeople

1/8/20 4:52pm

As I said, benching a QB in a game does not permanently demote him. But someone

Ash

1/8/20 6:51pm

Yes but you don’t bench a guy in game 2. Or every time he has adversity. You

puntersarepeople

1/8/20 8:15pm

Guys. Benching =/ permanent demotion!

Ash

1/8/20 10:26pm

True but how long?

puntersarepeople

1/9/20 2:40pm

The rest of the game. Then he's back out there. That's a start and is better

Ash

1/9/20 3:19pm

Yes but in all your examples you assumed two things

puntersarepeople

1/9/20 5:42pm

Hawaii benched their starter against BYU in the 2nd half for a series.

ldssdl

1/8/20 2:24pm

I would agree with such an approach. I'm not sure how many opportunities

rcbyufan

1/8/20 2:28pm

And that didn’t work.

All-American

1/8/20 4:16pm

He could have benched Taysom during one of the Utah games. Can’t remember which one it was but

Zach Morris

1/8/20 4:20pm

I thought that was the UCLA game

ldssdl

1/8/20 6:27pm

This, you’re right. Taysom was awful that game.

Zach Morris

1/8/20 7:31pm

Correct. That's another one. Mangum should have been brought in. He did better v

Ash

1/8/20 7:48pm

Potentially wrong again. What if he was 2017 Mangum?

puntersarepeople

1/8/20 8:14pm

2016 Mangum was coming off his pretty good freshman season. Turns out Detmer

Ash

1/8/20 10:25pm

The coaches may have knew he wasn’t a good option

puntersarepeople

1/9/20 2:42pm

Partially true. Nothing happened between 2015 and 2016 to Tanner other

Ash

1/9/20 3:22pm

We don’t know. So why would we assume he was great in 2016?

puntersarepeople

1/9/20 5:45pm

You trust this staff. Yikes. We'll disagree on that one. Again, he has never

Ash

1/9/20 9:04pm

People still think we should have benched Taysom for Tanner? Yeah, no.

All-American

1/8/20 10:18pm

Reading is hard. Benching a player for half of a game and putting them back in

Ash

1/8/20 10:24pm

Yeah, no.

All-American

1/9/20 5:06am

Context. The UCLA game I mentioned, Taysom was playing so poorly that even Kalani

Zach Morris

1/8/20 10:34pm

I see your context and raise you any game Tanner played in 2017-19.

All-American

1/9/20 5:54pm

It was probably the one where we were gifted 6 TO's and still could barely move

Ash

1/8/20 6:53pm

He benched Mangum (though not in-game)

Dangerous

Link when this happened?

not sure that will happen. Seems like the QB1 position is a lifetime appointment

Here's the deal with his 5 losses

donnerstag

Do you really mean what you wrote about Hawaii?

Y05

1/8/20 5:13pm

He's blaming the D.

Ash

1/8/20 6:54pm

Zach had a very bad game against Hawaii. His PER was 107. He threw to the grass on the pivotal, game ending play

Bob Vance

BYU very well could have scored 44 points

The same trick plays they use when ZW is playing.

They didn’t trick anybody with ZW because they’d ran them over an over

LOL. Romney completed passes on third down. We have not seen Zach do that well

Experience is awesome as a bonus to good play. Experience doesn’t mean much with poor play.
