bowl games against ranked opponents. Not every BYU quarterback can say that. Throw in the awards, records that stood for years and comments from other cougar legends and you start to make a compelling case.

Finally, I’ve seen most of them play and they were all good to great in their own way but JM, in my humble but totally correct opinion, had the best combination of leadership, toughness, accuracy, arm strength, and the ability to read defenses. Hard to rank them but if I had to bet my mortgage on one drive in a big game in college, I’d pick JM.

In the pros I’d pick Young. For the best win against and worst beat down by a ranked team I’d pick Detmer and for most underrated or least recognized I’d pick Wilson and Bosco. For best season I’d probably pick Sarkisian or ZW.
