It’s more that the QBs between Neilson and Detmer built the QBU reputation.

We have had some great post-Detmer QBs, but they stood on the shoulders of Young, McMahon, Detmer, Bosco, and co.

How many of those were first team All-Americans?

Only Sarkisian and Beck are listed as All-Americans after Detmer on BYU's

Lack of national awards. Post detmer we had a lot of good QBs

Yeah, but Taysom deserves to be on the list

Too much injury time

Sark was an o'Brien Finalist, but not a winner.

Were any of them heisman finalists or winners of any major awards

Beck & Hall had the unfortunate timing of playing on the abyss of the mtn

It bugs me although I understand why they don’t

Why is Gary Sheide never mentioned? Sammy Baugh trophy winner

Gary Sheide was no slouch. I've read that he broke the ground for Neilsen. Mean-

Or Virgil Carter for that matter?

For those who may not remember Virgil Carter

Think the primary factor is length of NFL career, IMO.

Gary was #7 in Heisman voting in 1974. Not shabby at all.

Mark Wilson was also in the NFL

I loved Marc Wilson

Right after my mission, I worked in a call center with McMahon's mom

Only Lavell could've pulled that off and kept both QBs

I was a little surprised when that happened

As I recall, Taysom was a heisman candidate before he got injured 🙂

NFL glory, National Championship, Heisman winner are triggers for that lineup

The BYU QB package needs to become a set of 6 2-ups

The Chelsea Dagger

10/20/20 1:24pm

I'd add Taysom since he's currently in the NFL

mncstr

10/20/20 1:29pm

Not to mention Virgil Carter who started for the Eagles, and Gary Sheide.

oldrugger

10/20/20 2:30pm

Ummm, he never played for the Eagles. Did you mean the Bengals?

Also Mark Wilson.

oldrugger

10/20/20 2:30pm

Are they known?

cantwearred

10/20/20 2:47pm

I would agree. I think anyone interested in football knows Sark and Hill
