After Taysom Hill’s announcement to return to BYU football, the skepticism of his return increased ever more.
Fans expressed their concerns worrying that it would stunt the growth of the freshman sensation, Tanner Mangum. Fans worry that it will start yet another quarterback controversy which tends to never bode well.
However, I am here to tell you that everyone will benefit from his return.
One, the team and coaches will benefit because they are getting back a veteran leader and athlete in Hill. Fans may be skeptical but the team sure isn’t. Linebacker Harvey Langi expressed his excitement on Twitter despite the skepticism.
Say what you wanna say..it really doesn't matter cuz he is home and staying. Much love to my brother @T_Hill4. This year is gonna be raw 💯— Harvey Langi (@LANGI21) February 16, 2016
Hills return will also add coveted depth at the quarterback position. Depth at any position is a must in football no matter the position or current player situation. BYU is going to need all the depth they can get with probably one of the toughest schedules ever coming up in 2016.
First year offensive coordinator Ty Detmer can’t be more pleased what has just fallen into his lap. Detmer said in a Salt Lake Tribune article that he’s always said two quarterbacks is better than one. He is going to be able to work with a Heisman caliber quarterback in Hill and an up and coming staple at quarterback in Mangum.
Mangum will have the chance to continue to learn and develop with whoever gets the starting job at quarterback. If Hill starts, Mangum can sit back and learn from the veteran leader and the former Cougar prodigy, Ty Detmer. If Mangum starts, he is still going to get the same from starting.
Two, fans will benefit because they get to see Hill play one more year at BYU barring any injury. Need I say more? It’s Taysom Hill for goodness sake. He single handedly dominated Texas two years in a row.
Three, BYU football as an organization will benefit. There is no doubt that they will sell more season tickets now that fans know Hill will be back for one more year. He is a BYU sports star that can be compared to the likes Jimmer Fredette and Tyler Haws. They naturally bring about hype because of the type of athlete they are. They are exciting to watch and that sells tickets.
As I said, everyone will benefit in some way. Hill’s return can only bring about positive results. He’s here to stay for one more year to bring back the magic that is Taysom Hill.
