This is a major problem:

Let's hope BYU stops this trend

2/26/15 8:17am

Speaking of trends, can we break this down between RM's and Non RM's?

Acorn

I think that is the main point...

Heinz57

Don't expect it to change significantly

Remind me again why we should care as BYU fans how many players get into the NFL

db59840

2/26/15 8:21am

Because good recruits care.

Not as much as you think. Bigger deal to fans than being a deciding factor for

Our recruiting classes have been good enough to win. We just gotta win.

ha...50-60ish in recruiting equates to about 8-4. maybe worse. recruiting has

johnnycarson

Tell that to BSU.

db59840

2/26/15 8:30am

exactly. thanks for proving my point

johnnycarson

But they're in the same tier of recruiting that we are. The OP said that

BSU's success on the field and putting guys in the NFL has allowed them to get

russkiejedi

You mean BSU who has fully twice as many former players in the NFL as BYU?

russkiejedi

And USU is so much better at recruiting?... Again, I'm not seeing the

db59840

2/26/15 8:31am

And Tennessee and many other schools that underperform with their recruits.

db59840

This has to be a joke

checoug

2/26/15 8:35am

You don't see the correlation?

checoug

Of course the most NFL players come from our best teams. The more we win, the

Classic answer from someone who has no argument.

I've got one... but it would get me banned or suspended for a personal attack...

maybe if you step away from your keyboard you can see we're all saying the same

I actually agree with you, if that is what you want. think those who dissent

so if BYU gets to zero players in the NFL you'll be saying all is well?

run26

If we have zero players in the NFL and we have 10 win seasons I'll be just fine.

Well, I guess it's only a problem if you want to see BYU win football games.

Smoke Monster

2/26/15 9:00am

with our schedule we have 6 wins guaranteed...8-5 isn't acceptable

kotacoug

If only more teams knew about the guaranteed 6 win rule...

db59840

You can't be THAT freaking naive! Have BYU play in ANY P Five conference

CarolinaCoug

Winning.

All I know is that I haven't enjoyed watching BYU football the last few years

russkiejedi

2/26/15 11:04am

I understand how you feel.

Blue Cat

2/26/15 12:14pm

Without blinking 83 to 90 is better... I'm not sure

CarolinaCoug

2/26/15 12:57pm

Math is hard.

Blue Cat

2/26/15 1:05pm

fine 84 to 87

CarolinaCoug

2/26/15 1:10pm

1984 was 31 seasons ago. I asked for the last 30 years.

Blue Cat

2/26/15 1:19pm

Game, set, match Blue Cat.

CarolinaCoug

2/27/15 2:49am

BYU played in two bowl games in 1987? Two? Two actual bowl games?

BarraCouga

2/27/15 8:42am

it was both conference games

CarolinaCoug

2/27/15 7:27pm

Take your pick

CarolinaCoug

2/26/15 1:18pm

Comparing bowl records is pretty meaningless in these two eras

So the Crowton years were better? Hmmmm.

Florwood

2/26/15 9:30am

For BYU players in the NFL? Yes. Did you really not understand that?

Walter Bellhaven

2/26/15 9:41am

But did it translate into wins? You know, the thing most BYU fans care about?

db59840

2/26/15 10:27am

You mean in the future? No. But it seems we had a lot of wins with a lot of NFL

Walter Bellhaven

2/26/15 10:38am

Bronco won 10-11 games with Crowton recruits in his 2nd and 3rd seasons.

russkiejedi

2/26/15 10:38am

EXACTLY!!!

checoug

2/26/15 10:39am

You're missing my point. It's not all about recruiting. With every coach you get

db59840

2/26/15 1:11pm

My point is, we're winning less than I think we should. And I think that comes

russkiejedi

2/26/15 7:31pm

Then we should absolutely trash Lavell because Crowton sucked with his recruits.

BarraCouga

2/26/15 8:08pm

No, we shouldn't. But it shouldn't be controversial to point out that recruiting

russkiejedi

2/26/15 8:14pm

Sort of coincides with the number of guys going on missions...

BarraCouga

2/26/15 8:28pm

Yeah, I know. You're the one who brought up LaVell.

russkiejedi

2/26/15 8:37pm

BarraCouga

2/26/15 9:02pm

Actually YES IT DID!! So you are wrong..

CarolinaCoug

2/26/15 11:58am
