I have a hard time imagining that he'd get paid less by a better program in need of a QB.

Can anyone corroborate the growing divide between Whitt & Rising?

The Y's Insider

I don't know if Rising is a jerk, but Whitt definitely is.

No information, but I can't imagine that he wouldn't have gone into the Portal this Spring if that were true

You think another team would pay the same $ for damaged goods?

Huge Manatee

Sep 26, 1:01pm

Yes. Have you seen the terrible QB play at A&M, Notre Dame, FSU, and others?

reddead

I think they'd take him, but not for the price Utah is paying

I was told 1.5 by someone who may or may not know.

I'd be pretty upset if a player was taking millions in NIL just to sit out

especially if you were a player busting your butt every day for significantly...

I don't know but you could definitely tell Whittingham didn't agree with Rising

Countcougula

Sep 26, 1:00pm

Even if you don't agree, it's pretty low to publicly call out your student QB.

cougarmeister

Whitt overpromised to NIL donors about Cam's health. When Cam didn't play, the donors were mad. Kyle was trying to cover

HarlemCoug

I think it is obvious that Wilson is their best QB

How are Utah fans feeling about Rising at this point? Ready to move on or hope

Sep 26, 1:00pm

Wilson seems pretty good. I'd be ready to move on if I were them.

Mister P

Sep 26, 1:02pm

Move on. Sick of the anticipation of him playing and then not. It killed last season and we are lucky it hasn’t killed

reasonable take here.

Seems like Whittingham has known about his conditions and continues trying to

Sep 26, 1:07pm

Fair take. I’m sure it would also be nice to spend that NIL money elsewhere.

allaboutthegainz

Sep 26, 1:08pm

Completely agree. I’m grateful Wilson hasn’t been a complete disaster so far

Virginia Ute

Sep 26, 1:13pm

Do you think he can return the favor his brother gave the Utes and throw some

allaboutthegainz

Sep 26, 1:15pm

I think it’s very possible, haha. BYU’s defense shaping up to be the toughest we will see all year. Not surprising with

Virginia Ute

Sep 26, 1:21pm

It would go along to getting to that unity you propose in Sig Picture

2FarGone

If U loses and Wilson has a poor game then IMO Cam starts the next game.

CMAC38

Sep 26, 2:58pm

I would feel the same, time to move on

Projectoor

Sep 26, 5:26pm

If they lose 2 maybe 3 games then I’d move on if I were Whit, but he still does

I've never before seen an HC publicly call out his QB as basically choosing

Corn Pop

Sep 26, 1:01pm

It had to be NIL money. He's not going pro. Everybody knows that.

Mister P

Sep 26, 1:04pm

Sure, but he could have transferred.

Corn Pop

Sep 26, 1:05pm

I don't know if other schools were willing to shell out big NIL money for

Sep 26, 1:07pm

Other schools are used to having much better QBs. He's a top 3 all time QB for

Crazy talk. Whit and Rising get along fine. The disagreement last year was

BYUSN did an interview where they talked about it. They said part of the issue

Whitt LOVES him some disinformation, though.

Whitt is an old school guy. Not hard to see how a QB getting paid a fortune to

This somehow makes me like Rising just a tiny bit. He is a good judge of

You don't need to be a great judge of character to know whitt is a tool.

Part of it is the ridiculous misinformation campaign Whitt always uses. If

Plus he puts emphasis on decisions being 'game time, literally game time'. Give

Whitt probably likes players who can can actually play and are not hurt all the time.

Spiff

Who cares?

Sep 26, 2:19pm

I believe Cam is done playing. Just mho, but as long as whittingham is willing

Wilson's decent QBR = 123. Risings SPECTACULAR QBR = 243. When

BYU fans don't understand Whittingham. He is singular focused on winning. He does not hold a player

He’s also a huge jerk

byuTX

Hopefully a divide grows between him and Wilson. He's up and coming.
