Backcountry All-American

I wont backtrack on his collegiate career. He never was a passing QB at BYU. And I still believe he would have had a better NFL career on defense than at QB.

Taysom was a spectacular athlete but not a great quarterback.

Again, the stats and tape just don't bear it out - if you'd watched Steve Young

Part of that was Detmer's awful offense his senior year

Non-mo Coug

8/18/19 4:56pm

That "awful" offense put up 29 pts a game against one of the toughest schedules

oxcoug

Exactly. Thank you!
