I disagree completely that Taysom had lost a step last year, and his pro day results confirm that. It was said on BYU sports nation that Taysom had not been training for Pro day because he had been rehabbing his elbow instead and he still ran a 4.44 40. According to David Nixon, most guys practice their technique for weeks in order to get the best time and he hadn't practiced at all, just showed up and did it. Taysom had not lost a step. I've said this before and I feel like a Broken record but Taysom was not the problem with the offense last year. He wasn't perfect but he wasn't the problem. In fact, I believe that Taysom was chosen to be the starter specifically to bridge the gap between Ty's first year where we simply didn't have the proper personnel to run his offense and when they could recruit guys who can run it. Taysom Masked a bunch of problems last year with his playmaking ability and we stayed in games where we would have normally been blown out and won games we would have lost.
I concur here. I don't think Taysom was the problem. No player plays perfectly, so of course, if you want to look for mistakes you can find them. But Taysom was what we needed...the best equipped to handle poor Oline play. It's too bad we haven't had a decent Oline or good WR play with some of these defenses the past few years. We could have had some pretty special seasons...gone from good to great. I believe that is what Ty and Kalani are building. Mangum will probably do pretty well this season if Bushman lives up to the hype and the Oline improves. Then I would expect a great year the year after. I believe.
