Replace LaVell with Staley for the players-only version.

Mount Rushmore of BYU football 🏈 ….Taysom Hill 🏈

44C

Aug 25, 10:33pm

Unfortunately, Taysom isn't even on the Mt Rushmore of BYU QBs.

d-coug

Aug 25, 10:36pm

I’d put John Beck and Max Hall above Taysom as well. Taysom is a heck of an athlete but BYU has had better QBs from a

Zach Morris

Aug 25, 10:37pm

Impossible to say, but maybe he would be had he stayed healthy.

Trent

Aug 25, 10:39pm

Marc Wilson and Gifford Nielsen are both higher than Hall and Beck

AF Cougar

Aug 25, 10:40pm

Wouldn’t disagree.

Zach Morris

Aug 25, 10:41pm

if you’re strictly going, BYU QB…JMac, Ty, Steve, Marc, Giff

44C

Aug 25, 10:53pm

Definitely leave out the one that won our one and only Natty.

Cougarbib

Aug 25, 11:51pm

Wasn’t our best team, wasn’t our best QB

44C

Aug 26, 7:16am

Yeah 23 consecutive wins wasn't our best team. How many drafted by NFL?

Les IsMore

Aug 26, 9:43am

Not a popular opinion, but I agree

Hill4Heisman

Aug 26, 11:13am

Logic fail. QB wins NC supported by good but not great team playing with leg

Cougarbib

Yeah but...

RebelScum

No doubt about it, Taysom was and is a phenomenal runner and athlete. Always just an ok to good passer but never great.

Zach Morris

Aug 25, 10:44pm

More than anything he was limited by injury. Who knows what would have happened if he stayed healthy. Especially in 2014

mvtoro

Aug 26, 12:35am

I agree, I wouldn’t put him in the top 10 of best BYU QBs

D.T. Survivor

Aug 25, 10:52pm

didn’t ask Mount Rushmore of QBs

44C

Aug 25, 10:45pm

How do you put them ahead of Taysom... Easily

jpesk2

Aug 25, 11:08pm

Impact on BYU has to do with on and off the field at BYU and after BYU

44C

Aug 26, 12:10am

Changing the goalposts to justify your Taysom crush?

Les IsMore

Aug 26, 9:46am

I would agree …..there are probably 10 QBs better than Taysom at BYU

44C

Aug 26, 5:05am

Totally agree. Giff and Marc are also ahead of Taysom

love him but he's not sniffing that mtn, sad he got hurt as often as he did.

4mack

Aug 25, 10:42pm

Are we judging on college or NFL careers? If NFL, then here's the top 5 IMO

runnincoug

Aug 25, 10:45pm

Fred Warner is building a strong case to get on that Rushmore

GlutealGuy

Aug 25, 10:48pm

Puka is too soon but agree Fred could make the case too

runnincoug

Aug 25, 10:50pm

Agreed, just saying Puka is certainly on track to crack the list

GlutealGuy

Aug 25, 11:18pm

sometimes it’s easy to get caught up in the thrill of the moment.

44C

Aug 25, 10:50pm

Jason Buck, John Tait, and Pitta would be pretty high, as well

Mabuhay Coug

Aug 26, 1:44am

You left off Andy Reid

AF Cougar

Aug 26, 6:51am

Deserves to be there too!

runnincoug

You have a great point

Stahlie was a beast

Blueto

Aug 25, 10:49pm

Who is this Stahlie guy?

BYU Grounds

Aug 26, 1:20am

I'd put McMahon, Detmer, Collie, Jamaal, and TA on offense. Van Noy, Buck, Jorgensen, Dewey, and Rob Morris on

I don’t think NFL success counts toward College Career impact

wildwilderness

Aug 25, 10:57pm

The 1984 Championship doesn't happen without BYUs strong NFL presence.

ParentingNotForSissy

Aug 26, 9:32am

100 percent correct. College success vs NFL is completely different. I wouldn’t

He may be the most "what could have been" player BYU football has ever had.

Incentivize

Aug 25, 11:11pm

Taysom still had the 12th highest career passing yardage and easily the best rushing stats by a QB in BYU history.

ManicBlue

Aug 25, 11:18pm

Tied with Ben Olson

vagabonder

Aug 26, 12:07am

I put him way over Olson on this. Taysom proved and continues to prove he was elite at that level and elite in his own

mvtoro

Aug 26, 1:04am

Of current NFL guys? his college career was just injuries and wrecking Texas

vagabonder

Aug 26, 12:08am

Taysom?

My Rushmore of BYU athletes, not QBs. Not an insult at all. He might be the

Max Hall forever

Taysom is one of the greatest "What ifs?" in BYU football history

Maybe in some BYU fan and teammate eyes TH not 1 Pro Bowl. Seems definitively no

NYC and Japan

Aug 26, 7:20am

Luke should be on there too.

coolblue

Aug 26, 7:25am

Your first four are the answer

Tuskaloosa Cougar

Aug 26, 7:28am

Jimmer too. He was so big he deserves to be on every BYU sports Mt Rushmore. 🙂

ImuaKahuku

Aug 26, 7:35am

Not Gifford. He got injured too early in his senior year.

Brisco

Aug 26, 8:42am

You can't leave Giff, Wilson, or Bosco off.

Only room for four, so....
