The Official Riley Nelson is a Badass Thread

[TripletDaddy]

Riley has 7 chances this season to prove his worth.

Washington State: check
Utah:FAIL
Boise State:FAIL
Hawaii: DNP
Utah State: DNP
Oregon State:?
Notre Dame:?
Georgia Tech:?

I purposely excluded the bowl game because even good BYU QBs suck in bowl games.

I'm going to let Riley prove that he is a bada**. We will know pretty soon.

Halfway mark of the season, not looking good for Riley to make his case.

[The_Douger]

Riley never had a case to be made. We saw what we needed to see last year.

[TexTechCoug]

Riley is back, thank you Brandon.

[Jeff Lebowski]

Then Riley stays on offense despite every rational reason that he should change positions and creates a second QB controversy.

Dumbest Riley criticism yet. Congrats!

3 INTs.

I think this story is becoming pretty clear. Everyone already seems to know how it will end.

Riley's greatest win of his career when it's over will be USU last year. Fitting because it's the miracle that got him the starting job back. But unimpressive.

Turnovers at Utah and Boise State directly led to easy opponent scores and were the difference in those losses on the road. Not all were on Nelson, but some definitely were. Nelson has thrown six interceptions and one touchdown pass in his last two games.

That’s why Saturday’s second-down interception throw by Nelson was so baffling. Here’s a guy who is in his seventh season of college football, with a two-year LDS mission mixed in. He’s smart, probably headed for medical school. He’s seasoned. He is not dumb.

But somewhere in his DNA, he simply won’t give up on a play that is dead. And then it all dies. It’s myopia on steroids.

Call it stubborn, call it gritty, call it inspirational or anything you want. But you cannot label plays like that smart football. Scovil would do more than have a quarterback who did that run wind sprints in practice. He’d find somebody else.

That's the best Harmon article I've ever read.

I don't know if the ESPN announcers prep by watching previous games, because almost every game (including this last one), Riley will make some mystifying throw, and the announcers will say something like "That is really a surprising decision coming from him", and I always think "Not really".

Disagree. This one is my favorite.

Mmmmm ribs!

Mmmmm ribs!

I told you. It is a great article!

We probably lose to USU if he plays.

Riley, you play like a badass. You are tough as nails. You also suck balls. Please bench yourself against Georgia Tech.
