Then Riley is below average.Kevin Feterik got punched by his own lineman. He did NOT get better every game nor did he end as one of the most accurate passers.
His PERs his final four games:178.25 vs AF, 148.78 vs SDSU, 134.15 vs WYO, 93.38 vs Utah. He left BYU as the #6 most accurate at 61.2%. Which is pretty average - exactly what BYU QBs averaged from 1971-2009.
He was the definition of average. His career PER is 141.29. The average PER between 1971-2009 was 143.31. He was very average.

BYU has routinely run with average QBs like Kevin Feterik, Steve Lindslay, Sean Covey, Brandon Doman, etc. Riley benefitted from following an historically awful QB (at least statistically). Guys like Sean Covey looorse ih retrospect because they were followed by spectacular QBs.For purposes of debating this, I'll cede that RN is average. When was the last time BYU rolled with an "average" QB? Why would any Cougar Fan defend the decision to be content with an "average" QB?Riley was/is now 5-5 in those games by your definition. As I said in a another thread, after responding your thread and getting in into Riley's numbers, I've come to the determination that Riley is an average QB.
Being fair to him is the least we can do.
I got absolutely hammered over a year ago for pointing all of this out about RN when I argued that he had hit his ceiling and how he had reached his potential. Everyone kept telling me how much he would improve (and how much of a hater I was). He is what he always has been. Average.

C'mon, BIB, you know your alma mater doesn't have a football teamCool. That was against St Mary's Agricultural School for the deaf, wasn't it?I just watched hi lights of the 2011 season. One was of Nelson throwing from the 50 hitting Hoffman (I think) on stride at the end zone.
