Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 26947, member: 289"] We've had some good QBs and rece4ivers over the years. Our quarterbacks have averaged throwing 231 passes a year in the Carrier Dome era. Rayn Nassib last year became only the third SU quaterback to have 300 throws in a season and set a record with 358. The type of passing attack the Dome would been perfect for the sort of offense that was run by BYU or Houston or Texas Tech or Boise State. I once made a post noting that quarterbacks at places like that often accumulated huge numbers but some of them turned out to be NFL disappointments and analysist would say: he's a system quarterback"- implying that the quarterback had put up huge numbers simply because of the system he played in. I then said "I wish we had a system". A lot of posters saw it the same way. Here are some seaosns by BYU quarterbacks over the years: Gifford Nielsen 207/372 3192yds 29TDs 19int Marc Wilson 250/427 3720yds 29TDs 15int Jim McMahon 284/445 4571yds 47TDs 18int Steve Young 306/429 3820yds 33TDs 10int Robbie Bosco 283/458 3875yds 33TDs 11int Ty Detmer 249/403 4031yds 35TDs 12int John Walsh 284/463 3712yds 29TDs 14int Steve Sarkisian 278/404 4027yds 33TDs 12int Kevin Feterik 277/452 3554yds 25TDs 15int Brandon Doman 261/408 3542yds 33TDs 8int John Beck 289/417 3805yds 32TDs 8int Max Hall 330/477 3957yds 35TDs 14int That's the kind of system I'm talking about. And the Dome with it's fast track and perfect weather conditons would have been an ideal place for that type of attack. We would have drawn the talent needed to play that way because players would have come here to do it. And the Dome would be packed to see all that scoring. We presently have the kind of personnell to play that way and Ryan Nassib's numbers at the end of the season should look like the above. [/QUOTE]
