I’ll always remember hearing all the hype on TM and then being very underwhelmed

R.Nichols Walk-on

when I actually saw him throw, read, and run in games.

The Hail Marys were cool and all, but he was never even close to as good as Dart. Even before injuries.

I watched a lot of USC games last year and I want to go on record re: Dart

Agree with everything except the last sentence.

Is Dart Plan A or Plan B with Daniels in the mix?

pinolero

1/20/22 9:56pm

Dart is plan A. I think Kiffin is getting impatient and that's how Daniels ended

Hotty-Toddy-Reb

His upside is #1 overall pick.

I agree. I think people who are laughing most likely didn’t watch enough of his

Selfishly I want him to come so that in addition to cheering him on at BYU I’ll

Almost as talented as Tanner Mangum imo

TM was never in the same stratosphere as Dart.

Elite 11 co-mvp talented?

Bingo, Heaps - Mangum - Dart

If he was as good as you say, why were his stats mediocre and he was

USC sucked last year. Really bad OL play. And he was a true freshman.

Turnpike Lane

This.

R.Nichols

1/20/22 10:00pm

Those are good points and stats for sure. I guess I just was really impressed

R.Nichols

1/20/22 10:05pm

He looked better than Hall against us. I know that’s blasphemous.

Just remember... Tuiaki's defense makes mediocre QBs look All-World.

Huh? I actually watched the entire rose bowl. I enjoy rooting against Utah

R.Nichols

Stroud was a redshirt freshman

califcougar

1/20/22 10:39pm

That’s what I want. Stroud is the real deal too tho.

R.Nichols

1/20/22 10:44pm

You’re not benching a guy who just finished 1 of the best years in BYU history

RalphWiggam

1/20/22 10:03pm

Less under appreciate him than indicated on CB. Hall will start at USF

Bluforever

1/20/22 10:04pm

You do if in the process you realize that Dart is better.

Hotty-Toddy-Reb

1/20/22 10:11pm

And Hall has delivered on the scoreboard. Dart has not.

RalphWiggam

1/20/22 10:20pm

I feel like I learned just as much about Dart as I did Hall last season. Footbal

R.Nichols

1/20/22 10:28pm

Dart is 0-3 as a starter. He managed 14 points against Cal...a 5-7 team.

RalphWiggam

1/20/22 10:45pm

You don't understand football then. Dart was bad or maybe if you sugarcoat it average. Hall was very, very good.

kimdaddy35

1/20/22 11:18pm

You think Dart was bad? Holy smokes!

R.Nichols

1/20/22 11:52pm

0-3 as a starter with a 132 passer rating

kimdaddy35

1/21/22 11:09am

Maybe you're right. But I will say that Hall will have to do everything right to

Hotty-Toddy-Reb

1/20/22 10:30pm

Maybe. But he hasn't really done anything yet.

RalphWiggam

1/20/22 10:47pm

Huh? You are discounting Dart way too much. BYU vs USC stats for both QBs

The_Cuss

1/21/22 12:06am

I am not saying that Dart can't be great at some point.

RalphWiggam

1/21/22 2:41am

Hall was great. May we be blessed with 2 amazing QBs. And may the coaches start

AZcougLawyer

1/20/22 10:19pm

You do if the backup gives you a better chance to win. What if we got Dart and

R.Nichols

1/20/22 10:24pm

Hall is going to go from a top QB to struggling in spring. C'mon man.

kimdaddy35

1/20/22 11:19pm

I don’t think that’s going to happen. I was just using it as an example of an

R.Nichols

1/20/22 11:53pm

So out of blue Hall is just going to struggle? Additionally, what if Dart comes

LakeshowCougs

1/20/22 11:54pm

What? Who is saying Hall isn’t good? They aren’t mutually exclusive. It’s okay

The_Cuss

1/21/22 12:11am

If he's so good then why doesn't Lincoln Riley want him?

JuicyJam

1/20/22 10:07pm

Because Caleb Williams is really good too and they've already worked together?

Hotty-Toddy-Reb

1/20/22 10:14pm

This

R.Nichols

1/20/22 10:16pm

Did you miss Trevor Lawrence’s national title game? Caleb Williams is also

califcougar

1/20/22 10:12pm

We’re both those guys true freshman?

R.Nichols

1/20/22 10:16pm

Yes

califcougar

1/20/22 10:38pm

You are right about Lawerence. He was probably the best true fresh ever. But

R.Nichols

1/20/22 10:47pm

It is pretty obvious you are crazy

kimdaddy35

1/20/22 11:21pm

Hmmm. But what if I’m not?

R.Nichols

1/20/22 11:57pm

Way to many over-reacting, I watched him closely too….good yes….great no.

Beetdiggercoug

Dart is awesome but he is not going to start over Jaren.
