I understand how you feel.

Comparing almost any 4 year stretch in our history to 2006-2009 will leave you disappointed. There is not a 4 year stretch in the last 30 years than even comes close to 2006-2009.

I do agree that producing NFL talent is important for success, but my expectations are tempered considering Bronco is recruiting and coaching more RMs that we have historically seen at BYU. That makes it much tougher for guys to get into the NFL.

It is not a coincendence that of the 38 players drafted in the NFL on the '80s teams only 4 were RMs.

This is a major problem:

Let's hope BYU stops this trend

Heinz57

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.

2/26/15 8:22am

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.

db59840

2/26/15 8:25am

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

2/26/15 8:28am

Tell that to BSU.

db59840

2/26/15 8:30am

exactly. thanks for proving my point

2/26/15 8:31am

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?

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

Classic answer from someone who has no argument.

db59840

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

2/26/15 8:39am

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

2/26/15 8:39am

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

stonecougar

2/26/15 9:27am

yeah anyone who says the NFL doesn't matter is wrong and i'm not real interested

2/26/15 8:42am

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

run26

2/26/15 9:11am

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

db59840

Duuuuuuuude..... time to wake up....

ZooBlue

Is it? Or is it a symptom of a non problem?

stonecougar

2/26/15 8:23am

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

We went 8-5 last year with an injured starting QB and RB and multiple

RE: We went 8-5 last year with an injured starting QB and RB and multiple

2/26/15 9:00am

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

kotacoug

2/26/15 9:00am

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

db59840

Winning.

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.
