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

RalphWiggam

Yeah, but Taysom deserves to be on the list

Avery

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

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

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

It bugs me although I understand why they don’t

10/20/20 11:34am

Why is Gary Sheide never mentioned? Sammy Baugh trophy winner

SlantRoute

10/20/20 11:48am

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

Or Virgil Carter for that matter?

SlantRoute

For those who may not remember Virgil Carter

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

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

icecougar

10/20/20 11:29pm

I was a little surprised when that happened

schofim

10/21/20 8:46am

...and was a 1st round pick

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

Hill4Heisman

10/20/20 1:08pm

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

10/20/20 1:22pm

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?

BYUforlife

10/20/20 3:48pm

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
