I'm looking at career stats too. Career Taysom is a 57.7% passer but he's completed 60%+ the past three seasons including this one.

Since half his runs aren't planned, he's not taking anything away. He still averages more 5+ a carry, so even if he is it doesn't detract from our production.

I agree with you in that we should run him more.

Those 3 seasons are less than 8 games.

His adjusted yards per attempt this season in 2 games is 3.9. Which ranks 119 out of 124 in college football.

The one thing that Hill is (was) better at is running. Hill is a running quarterback, who can mix it up with the pass.

Mangum can make reads, and timing throws, and get the ball downfield. Hill struggles with all of this. Hill is your classic throw it at the stationary receiver in front of me passer.

I'm a BYU fan. I like having a QB that is not below average for college football QBs as far as passing.

When Hill was a fresh and soph I actually thought he had NFL potential. But fact is, he has never improved as a passer. They say you can't teach accuracy. And Hill is proving that right. He just doesn't see the windows, or can't get the ball into the windows.

He's the classic basketball player that has ever tool except the ability to shoot a jump shot from beyond 5 feet. He can play D, he can rebound, he can dribble, he can score layups and dunks. But he can't shoot. And he never will be able to.

He is not an NFL prospect. Another bust for BYU in terms of talent vs. outcome.

Now I saw a few flashes in the game against Utah, but my opinion of him is so low, that when he does something basic, like look from one receiver to another, I am cheering and think he can improve and grow.

But we already have the guy who can already do this. He's sitting on the bench.
Improve and grow? He's older than Russell Wilson.

given that the average NFL career is less than 4 years, most guys his age have already finished their NFL careers.

I sat on the second row at the 50 yard line for the fourth quarter. I absorbed his alpha-male, commanding and reassuring presence.

I told you guys Taysom is improving. He now has more touchdowns passing than interceptions, and he ranks in the top 100 in passing efficiency.
