Please show me where I said you said they would. Hint: hyperbole doesn't actually count.
Heaps has a better arm than Wynn, and doesn't go down with a season ending injury every season. Heaps shortcomings can be fixed... Wynn, I'm not so sure.
Is that a good enough answer for you and hobo, or am I still not allowed to espouse this opinion?

Well that's better than saying he's an NFL prospect at least.
I guess we'll have to see on Wynn. I'm not so sure a healthy Wynn (if he ever gets healthy again) is worse than Heaps. And I'm not so sure Heaps is any better than what Utah will have at QB next year either.
He's definitely better than Hays, but that isn't saying much.
Yeah, in retrospect that was a little over the top. He certainly is not that now, and he would need to improve dramatically. Two things that make me think he could still be a great college QB: he's still just a soph, and he's been playing for Roscoe Mendenhall, who has done nothing right in managing his QBs since Heaps showed up. You give him a decent HC and, if he's willing to listen, he rights the ship.
Utah's QB situation wasn't good, but is exacerbated in the PAC12. I think (naively, maybe) that Heaps can be just as good as the likes of Foles, Barkley, Osweiller (sp?), and such (not as good as Luck, but that goes w/o saying.)
You do realize that would be like coming in 3rd place in a beauty contest when there are only 2 contestants?

Not at all. It's finishing among the better teams in one of the best conferences.

Whittingham "we have had 7 or 8 season ending injuries to key players." Last time we had a season like this was '06

So, Whittingsham is a cry baby excuse maker too, huh? Surprising. No, really, it is.
There is a severe drop off between the 2-3 good teams in the PAC-12 and the rest of the league. Utah is not amongst the 2-3 good teams.

Well good thing Utah doesn't have to be among the top 2 or 3 teams in order to be among the best in a 12 team conference.
As long as your happy being the Colorado State of the PAC-12 I guess we have no more to discuss.

We're not the Colorado State. Utah is going to a bowl game, and likely will be going to one every year. As Whitt pointed out, this is rock bottom for Utah. It will only get better from here. Rock bottom for Utah is still among the better teams in one of the best conferences.
Does Colorado State beat BYU by 44 points in Provo?
