Wasn’t he on the Dolphins roster for a season? He literally was an NFL WR

I will trust ARod. I watched Jaren Hall in high school and would not have

We all thought Tanner Mangum would be a star....then reality hit.

And then Ben Olsen. Highly rated

Ben might have been great at BYU but he didn't give it a chance...

No, not even a good QB at UCLA

Tanner and Jake would have both been NFL QB’s had Anae stayed

Tanner? Yeah nope

Tanner was a Freshman All-American but he was fortunate to have one of our most

The WRs his Frosh year were quite mediocre. The most talented one was Juergens,

Mediocre? No they weren't

I wish Fesi had been here to develop Matthews — cuz his ball skillz stunk.
SinkingQuffa
5/25/23 11:07am
As much as I like Tanner, this is also silly. Mathews was great. Juergens was
SoBlueitHurts
5/25/23 11:45am
Couldn't disagree more. Matthews had poor WR skills even by HS standards. Dude

Do you even watch? Off the top of my head against USU in 15 and Cal in 14 I

Ha! He was TERRIBLE at high-pointing an overhead pass. On a sideline route
SinkingQuffa
5/25/23 12:12pm
He is the main reason the "jump-ball" narrative exists. I keep thinking you will
SoBlueitHurts
5/25/23 12:22pm
Yeah. He was 6’6 & jumped outa the gym.
SinkingQuffa
5/25/23 12:33pm
He rarely got the chance to high-point on a fly route. A fly route is not

Every ball in coverage has an optimum
SinkingQuffa
5/25/23 12:53pm
A go route the optimum placement is over outside shoulder on the go. No high
SoBlueitHurts
5/25/23 1:41pm
For MM nothing over-the-shoulder was optimum. He sucked fielding
SinkingQuffa
5/25/23 1:47pm
He did not get a lot of them, but I just pointed out at least a few where he did
SoBlueitHurts
5/25/23 4:16pm
What I get from you, sir
SinkingQuffa
5/25/23 4:39pm
So the fact that he almost had 1000 yards as a Junior and led the team in

5/25/23 5:21pm
Kid was a great athlete & a very big target. We had few WR options
SinkingQuffa
5/25/23 5:29pm
He was, in FACT, a GOOD receiver. We missed him desperately in 2016 (Taysom
SoBlueitHurts
5/25/23 5:48pm
He was a very good receiving OPTION, yes. And was very much missed, yes.
SinkingQuffa
5/25/23 5:57pm
It looks like Taysom, Tanner, and Christian Stewart couldn't even convince you
SoBlueitHurts
5/25/23 6:28pm
Each of them liked that OPTION so much they would say he was a GOOD receiver
SoBlueitHurts
5/25/23 6:31pm
Unfortunately, at 6'6, with a Sub 11 100 — & the NFL still said otherwise.
SinkingQuffa
5/25/23 6:47pm
His 2000 receiving yards say he was good. As do his 3 QBs that loved throwing to

This is one of the biggest lies repeated about TM's freshman year.
Ham
5/25/23 9:32am
There were a few, but 3,300 yds is a LOT of jump balls
SoBlueitHurts
5/25/23 11:46am
WOW! 3,300 yards of jump balls? He did have a talented group of receivers, but
SoBlueitHurts
5/25/23 11:39am
The funny thing is the accusation of jump-balls was MUCH more to do w Matthew's
SinkingQuffa
5/25/23 11:44am
Manziel won a Heisman by just tossing the ball up to his elite receivers

I don't know about getting into the NFL, but I do think their careers at BYU

I don't think either of them would have made it, regardless of OC. Heaps had the jitters...not sure what you can do

5/25/23 8:34am
Tanner's decline wasn't all the offense. Physical tools declined a lot

I thought Tanner's problems had more to do with his
jlhazlewood
5/25/23 9:47am
I think all 3: coaching, injury, confidence
SoBlueitHurts
5/25/23 11:47am
Didn't Heaps technically reach the NFL?
CougarBreath

Nah

Also injuries and the mental side of a player are significant. Mangum admitted

I really like Burton. He's got drive and a great coach in A-rod.
Mostlyaccurate
5/25/23 9:21am
While a brief exposure, Burton looked better than I expected in spring scrimmage
Forzaitalia

This is true. He showed well.

I'm having a hard time feeling upset with this one. BYU will attract top QB's:

I was kinda underwhelmed by Heaps tape

IIRC Heaps was okay as a freshman. He was a 7-on-7 superstar. Far different when
