than that Taysom was healthy and Detmer took over. So why was he all of a sudden no good when he had just set Freshman records at BYU? I think it's clear a large part of the QB problems were due to Detmer's horrible system. Eventually Tanner did fall off and look pretty horrible, but when exactly did that occur?

Zach Wilson's record against G5 teams:

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

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

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

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.

1/8/20 3:39pm

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

Zach has never fumbled on a QB sneak

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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)

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