Re: Taysom Hill or Tanner Mangum?
Even more reason to let him talk with other teams. He will graduate in two months anyway, right? I think Michigan or Stanford could use his talents best. Both would provide him better exposure with a high talent level to surruond him. Stanford's education would be an additional plus. Rejection = Greater Opportunity.

We'll need as much time as possible to get ready. Practicing with one QB and then throwing in a new one a month before the season starts is a bad move. I hope the staff isn't even considering it.

If we could freeze Tanner in time I'd still prefer taysom but we can't. I'd rather have taysom but I'm leaning more towards Tanner. If taysom can leverage football into a Stanford graduate degree he should do it. Him and Chuckie Keyton will go down together as the greatest coulda shoulda woulda QBs in the state.

I agree, we should allow the guy who is/was the best player on the field in every game he played in healthy to just walk and wish him well. I agree with Brayden, if he is healthy and is playing better than Tanner, he is our guy. IMO, he will not be healthy, his days as a football player are over.

Re: Taysom Hill or Tanner Mangum?
You know what is disappointing about Hill? No one will ever know how good he could have been. Even if he comes back for his Senior season and plays well, we don't know how much better he could have been if he was able to work on his game instead of rehabbing once again during the off season.
If you think about how much better he could have been if his off seasons were spent practicing and refining his game. The only off season he had injury free was summer of 2014 and he showed in he first 5 games he was a better passing QB until again injury shut him down for the year.
I can only imagine what kind of QB he could have been because right now he is a freak athlete and I can't fathom what he could have done if his off seasons were devoted to improving his game instead of healing his body.
Regardless what happens with him this year, I have enjoyed watching every second he has played.
