POLL: Which one is NOT a top 10 all-time QB at BYU?

I had to for with Doman. He really only played one year.

Jeff75

5/8/20 8:24pm

One spectacular year.

Holy Driver

5/8/20 8:24pm

Yeah, but the others had better years.

Jeff75

5/8/20 8:25pm

Taysom had better overall stats than Doman and played a much tougher schedule.

ManicBlue

5/8/20 8:36pm

Better stats or just more overall?

Lip Gallagher

5/8/20 9:33pm

Not sure I'd put either in the top 10.

Jeff75

5/8/20 10:07pm

You're only looking at passing. Taysom has BY FAR the most rushing yards of any

ManicBlue

5/9/20 2:04am

No I didn't. Both are in there.

Lip Gallagher

5/9/20 8:02am

Didn't exactly point that fact out and only compared one year

ManicBlue

5/9/20 10:43am

I thought it was obvious when both were listed with over 4000yds & "total TDs"

Lip Gallagher

5/9/20 12:23pm

So you want to compare one year instead of careers? Granted Doman's career was

ManicBlue

5/9/20 7:58pm

No, not that either.

Lip Gallagher

5/9/20 10:31pm

Despite Taysom's partial yrs ... and bad on him for getting injured unlike Doman

ManicBlue

5/9/20 11:26pm

Lol he doesn't belong. Sorry.

Lip Gallagher

5/10/20 9:24am

You call Taysom's career 'off and on' but do you even realize that he started

ManicBlue

5/10/20 8:20pm

Sark only had one good year.

Benfica1

5/10/20 3:32pm

And one great year.

Jeff75

5/10/20 4:17pm

Yes. I was at the TA&M game. So great. Doman also had an excellent year–beat uu

Benfica1

5/10/20 4:52pm

I thought he was excellent in his first year too

D.T. Survivor

5/10/20 6:28pm

Lol at people voting the winningest QB as a not too 10. Must be Yewts.

BYUtka

5/8/20 8:29pm

Just Sandyfan voting from all of his dupe accounts

Lip Gallagher

5/8/20 9:22pm

I voted for Taysom.

SandYFan

5/8/20 10:57pm

Taysom is one of my favorite players of all time, but the fact that he never

Nielsen for sure. I never understood why he started over

Odysseus

Did you know his family was big Ute fans?

Brigham

5/8/20 8:51pm

?? His dad played for the Y.

eyes4byu

5/8/20 11:09pm

Not sure how people can vote Wilson. He is #5 in my book. 3rd in Heisman voting

ayfan

5/8/20 8:58pm

11-1 his senior year.

Jeff75

5/8/20 9:00pm

Perfect regular season and a 27-yard field goal away from completely undefeated

Magathisll

5/8/20 9:22pm

Recency bias.

eddog

5/8/20 9:28pm

Also in the college football hall of fame- pure ignorance to snub him

Bill

5/8/20 9:43pm

Threw 7 touchdowns in his very first start

arizonacougarfan

5/8/20 9:56pm

He’s just a junior. And the Hawaii bowl was disappointing.

All-American

5/9/20 1:30pm

Yeah go watch the oldest game on byutv app. Wilson was the real deal. He was

buckeyecougarguy

5/9/20 11:47pm

Gut instinct was to vote Hill. But I didn’t like it.

climps

5/8/20 9:03pm

All time Qb rankings IMO

arizonacougarfan

5/8/20 9:10pm

Nielsen was 1st Team AA. He shouldn’t be below Hall & Beck

CaliWG

5/9/20 7:59am

Walsh? Really?

StalwartBraveTrue

5/9/20 7:29pm

He had a great year in 1994. Look up his stats.

eddog

5/9/20 7:33pm

He was great.

Jeff75

5/9/20 7:44pm

Walsh gets a bad rap. He was really good

arizonacougarfan

5/9/20 9:50pm

He was good. If he'd have come back for his Sr year, he'd be higher on the list.

ManicBlue

5/9/20 10:24pm

If he came back then Sark wouldn’t have come and then no 96 cotton bowl

arizonacougarfan

5/9/20 10:35pm

It's fine how it worked out for BYU but not for Walsh. It doesn't mean Walsh

ManicBlue

5/10/20 1:07am

Taysom is a top 10 athlete but not a top 10 quarterback.

Gary Sheide won the Sammy Baugh trophy as nations best passer and

Which one of those has the least impressive signature win?

lilpenny

5/9/20 5:28am

I love Hill, but this is not about what could have been or how he might end up

Fdnman

5/9/20 6:24am

Taysom did not become what he should have been. I’m still miserable about it

YIsForBrigham

5/9/20 9:33am

Taysom may be top 10 as far as NFL career, but not college. He also never beat

MikeDitka'sStache

5/9/20 9:38am

You gave 7 choices. Need to be 11 choices. Love Doman.

Dr MoBYU

5/9/20 10:20am

Seems he believes the top 4 are not in question. I agree.

Soupie

5/9/20 10:24am

Just noticed that John Walsh isn't on this list.

eddog

5/9/20 10:21am

should be so we can vote him not top 10

AFitisemanu

5/9/20 5:58pm

Definitely recency bias w/ Wilson

Marc my words. You are wrong.

Robydad

5/9/20 4:18pm

We should do a most underrated QB in history.

StalwartBraveTrue

5/9/20 7:29pm

Hancock, Walsh, and Carter are underrated

It’s between Doman hill and sarkisian. The way the question is phrased I went

buckeyecougarguy

5/10/20 12:02am

Let's try not to forget Doman benefited from the single best season by a BYU RB

ManicBlue

5/10/20 1:14am

I hate to say it but I hold not beating Utah against taysom. If he beats them

buckeyecougarguy

5/10/20 5:58am

Taysom played against utah when utah was finally a good program. The rest didn't

ManicBlue

5/10/20 8:21pm

i would have given him more credit for beating utah then Sarkisian beating them

buckeyecougarguy

5/11/20 11:53am

Doman or Hill are really the only options.

Gentleman Stan

5/10/20 12:04am

ok.. gotta ask WHICH Wilson.. WHICH Nielsen are you asking about?

relic

5/10/20 8:58am

There's only one Nielsen. The other is a Nelson.

shakarocks

5/10/20 9:28am

Right.. I stand corrected...Thanks

relic

5/10/20 9:46am

I've heard some pronounce it the same way.

Jeff75

5/10/20 4:19pm

This might be a Wasatch Front linguistic anomaly. I have a very educated,

eyes4byu

5/11/20 10:24am

In this case they aren't pronounced the same.

shakarocks

5/11/20 6:55pm

To my mind, Neilson never should be pronounced Nelson; just anecdotal evidence

eyes4byu

5/12/20 8:25am

It's crazy people don't think Hill is a top 10 QB at BYU.

Vincent's Picks

5/11/20 10:47am

I don't.

D.T. Survivor

5/11/20 11:03am

Football was also a lot different then. TH would have dominated.

Vincent's Picks

5/11/20 11:14am

Would have, could have, should have

shakarocks

5/12/20 11:56am

He had some crazy highlight reel moments, but no ranked finishes, didn't beat

Gentleman Stan

5/11/20 11:58am

Yeah, it's either Doman or Hill. Probably Hill, as much as it pains me to say it
