Yes he an I are the same age. The game today isn't what it was when he played. Is like asking Carl Lewis to compete
with Usain Bolt. I'm not saying Ty wasn't that good, I'm saying that Ty would not be good in today's game.

So in 14 starts JR has faced 12 P4 opponents - more than TfD did in his entire

I hate that we are now using P4 to compare who played tougher opponents. In the 80s and early 90s

True, but if TFD was QB now (his younger self) we'd have won last week and gone

Yeah I don't think so. If the same TY Detmer when he was college age played for BYU this year, I think given the change

Ty Threw 28 interceptions his Heisman year. It's so hard to compare across eras, though. I'm not sure what the point is.

Completely different offenses. Ty Detmer also threw for 432 yards per game his Heisman winning season.

Impossible to know. If Ty had grown up now and still had his processing speed, he'd be fine today.

Fair point. Detmer (to his credit) & other BYU greats (Nielsen, Wilson, McMahon

The thing that set Ty apart was just his processing speed, and his knowledge of the game.

That is what I'm comparing. Ty in his 1989 prime having to play today's game against today's players

No QB from 1989 would have success if you dropped them in the game today.

I mean I thought it was illustrated perfectly in Zach Wilson's 2020 year in which he set fire to our old records while

I think most fans realize the schedule has improved. Perhaps a 140 rating before would be a 150 rating today. Maybe
