He must have been pretty abysmal at practice. They had 3 years to evaluate him, and still chose not to play him. That is a pretty damning statement from those closest to the situation.

I hope he kicks butt wherever he goes

This pisses me off. He's far better than most people realize. This hurts.

How could you know that? I’d trust the offensive coaches and their analysis of

If its so obvious who are the people? Humor us by naming two. Pray do tell....

Nobody from practice ever spoke that highly of him… I’m shocked too

I wouldn't.

BYU sort of failed the kid. I hope he gets his chance to shine somewhere.

runningryan

How? By playing a QB that is way better than him?

By not allowing him to pass 2 different games, at Utah St (21) and Stanford.

He clearly did not have the confidence of his coaches.

And against USF

Coug

12/2/22 5:29pm

Would that really have made the difference?

CommodoreCoug

Yes, especially against Stanford

Mabuhay Coug

Maybe maybe not

I’m with you in this one. I got the chance to see him at practice and I was

Considering he played our defense in practice...I'm sure he was amazing.

I'm happy for him. Our coaches didn't believe in him

I am sure negative comments from posts didn’t help in the decision process. Time

The kid cant play. His career will end at a FCS or riding pine at a G5.

I’m with you.

Only Tanner McKee has the ability to undo the LDS Elite 11 BYU QB curse.

DieHarder

12/2/22 4:31pm

I wish him luck and hope he finds a good opportunity

runningryan

12/2/22 4:31pm

What, if anything, does this mean about our QB situation for next year?

eysikal

12/2/22 4:33pm

It means Big 12 defenses blitz on every down

TNT

I guess that sick wrap on his van wasn't enough NIL?

WorfoSAUR

12/2/22 4:33pm

I would too. The coaches obviously don’t believe in him.

HFF

12/2/22 4:33pm

For the sake of Jacob, Jaren, and the team present and future, he should have

So it wasn't just his van after all.

Does this mean McKee is coming?!

He should transfer. I’ve always thought he was an improvement from

Good luck, but don’t let the door hit you in the butt on your way out.

Even Jaren doesn't know if he is staying.

How do you know they clearly don’t respect his talent?

How can you clearly see something without ever being present or involved

Desertcoug85

If he doesn’t want to be at BYU anymore, for literally any reason… good for him
