    Does anyone dispute BA,RN gives his best effort every game, is the best option for this season in general, or the Utah game specifically? He does some goofy things off the field in interviews, but I guess I was the only immature and often cocky 23 year old on this board, and I had zero reason to be.

    My opinion:
    * He gives a 100% effort every game and most every play
    * He reportedly practices hard
    * He is well liked and respected by his teammates
    * He is an RM and seems to represent the university and church well
    * He has some physical limitations that aren't going to change, no matter how much I or anyone else want them to
    * He has won the vast majority of games he has played significant time in

    Call me crazy, but I'm going to go ahead and support him and hope he or his family never find this asinine thread.
    Crazy.

      Riley Nelson is never going to make anyone forget Peyton Manning. Having said that, he is undervalued by many for the same reasons that Nolan Ryan is overvalued by many.

          It's always enjoyable to see fans bitching about the QB after winning by a combined 75-19 and being ranked.

                      Why would any BYU quarterback make anyone forget Peyton Manning? Manning didn't play at BYU. Tennessee, IIRC.

                        Yes, it was Tennessee. Thank you for reminding me.

                          But he doesn't throw a pretty ball like Jake Heaps. Now that guy could throw a pretty pass....10 yards over the receivers head.
                          "Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

                            Just as it's not about Young/McMahon/Detmer, it's not about Heaps either. Indy's comment that you highlighted has merit, this one doesn't.
                            So Russell...what do you love about music? To begin with, everything.

                              The way some of you guys keep bringing up Heaps reminds me of the way some Utah fans keep bringing up Boylen. Unresolved feelings of betrayal and disappointment, I guess.

                                competitor?

                                strikeouts?
