Poinsettia Bowl

[falafel]

Are you his hired counsel or something?

No, but I did say I agreed with him. Plus, you called my reading comprehension skills into question! I have a right to defend myself.

Bro, can Tanner even squat 9,000 lbs?

And does he have a 7 figure consulting job waiting for after football?

Sweet!

Why not just say "I am looking forward to seeing Tanner play" vs. pissing on Taysom like that? I don't get it. The guy have everything he had. I wish him nothing but the best.

Do I celebrate his injury? No. But him being injured allows for Tanner to get all of the reps for the bowl game. I'm a firm believer that we win more games this year with Tanner at QB than Taysom. I believe we are at least 10-2. How many teams in the country bench a QB on the O'Brien watch list in favor of an injury prone 6th year Sr.? All in the name of loyalty.

The unfortunate result of this event benefits the team in the long run.

7 figures? Maybe per hour.

I'm conflicted. I very much appreciate all that Tayson did and sacrificed. He was magical in those Texas games, and others as well. He was 1.5 dimensional, it seemed. He just ran it too much, which exposed him to getting hit, and eventually, four season-ending injuries. Was he snake-bitten? Was he fragile? Was he simply human?

He was never a very accurate passer and that didn't seem to improve. Our vertical game was fairly non-existent. Was that due to Detmer, a bad O-line, bad receivers, etc.? Or was a lot of that on Tayson's passing game? I was rarely confident that we could pick up a third and 5+ yards. We'd throw for a 2-3 yard gain or an incompletion. It was awesome at times, yet very frustrating as well. Frustrating started winning the day for me.

So, like Tick, I'm kind of excited to finally move on to Tanner.

But honestly, did any of us believe Tayson would make it through the season? I'm surprised he made it as far as he did.

True. But I also wonder if any 6th year senior QB on the O'Brien watch list has ever finished the year ranked #99 in the country in passing efficiency? Hill was certainly an enigma to say the least.

I think it is absurd to assume BYU would be have won 2 more games with Tanner at QB. I get the excitement of seeing what Tanner can do with adequate prep and a gameplan built around him but lets stay smart about this situation.

To answer your question the teams where the coaches believe the 6th year senior gives them the best chance to win. I find it absurd to think the coaches willingly put themselves into a position to lose games. It reminds me of people all worked up when Povey replaced Dallin Leavitt. There was no argument that Leavitt was the more gifted athlete and should have been the better player but it was also self-evident to anyone who watched the games that Leavitt was frequently out of position and despite being the more gifted athlete he was an inferior player if the overall goal was to win the football game. Dallin Leavitt is clearly a kid that is only about Dallin Leavitt and my guess is that is the source of his problems at BYU - not some stupid argument of nepotism while comparing 40 times, bench presses and cone drills...or even the highlight plays that Dallin made that Povey never could.

Be excited about Tanner but stay grounded in your expectations because my guess is he is not clearly as much better than Taysom as you are assuming.

I'd rather see Koy Jr. Really hoping some nepotism sets in here.

If I didn't love this team that would be funny to watch

[SCcoug]

He is a 5th year guys.

It's funny you used this as an example because it perfectly illustrates how irrational fan perceptions can be. Under Taysom Hill, BYU was #13 in the nation on third-down conversions this year.

When people have made the "It's a new system the QBs haven't learned yet" argument, I've wondered about Koy. Didn't he run this offense in high school? I'm not suggesting he should be the starter, but it would be interesting to see him perform and compare it.
