Tyler Phommachanh
- Thread starter Derucky
- Start date
Just seems that based on last year he has too much talent to not be on the field at all, especially with all these injuries. Can he get another redshirt year out of this somehow? If not, it seems like a waste, unless he really is not ready injury-wise, which would mean his injury is much worse than reported. Either way, it seems like he is being treated as irrelevant now after being the first dynamic player in a long time at the beginning of last season.

No. He’s probably getting a deserved medical redshirt year and getting 110% healthy.
I think he suffered a very bad injury last year. He may be at 100% by this summer.

Yeah. We’ve talked about it quite a bit. Everyone loves his energy and ability to scramble. We don’t know what to make of his arm for sure.
Hopefully, he will stick around and at some point, when we need him, he will get back on the field and do great things. He’s a dynamic player that should see the field at some position, even if it isn’t QB. He’s electric.
With Zion playing better and Mullen showing some wheels, I don’t think it is right to question Tyler’s lack of playing time anymore. I was happy to when Zion was struggling but he’s gotten much better, so I don’t a see any reason to undermine his confidence.

Do you have inside knowledge of this? I would not doubt it with the knee tearup he had. Hoping he gets back up to speed.
Because he’s 3rd on the depth chart and not good

Zion has a better arm and his run game is improving rapidly. Runningbacks are better this year even with the losses so we haven't needed as much QB play. Once Marion is back, I think that the door will open even more for Zion's passing game.

"Inside" would be misleading for what I know. But I was told he could play in an emergency, but his knee isn't 100%.

Gotta be honest. Did not see the last part of your statement coming. That was a way from left field comparison. Physically about the same size and Drew never had a cannon but Zion is light years away from Drew's touch and precision.

My last post was deleted so let me put it this way, sarcastically of course, I am excited to see all these quarterbacks remain on the roster burning all their remaining eligibility (and football dreams) behind Turner. He is going to be the starter until his eligibility is up. And they will be happy and willing to do it... Dont think that comment violates the by-laws...

The Turner being starter for the next 3 years isnt the sarcastic part... 
Roberson as back up?The Turner being starter for the next 3 years isnt the sarcastic part...
If he's not good because of the injury, that's one thing - we probably wouldn't hear about that.
That would explain it then - thanks.
Which would be unfortunate for this year but good for the future.
That injury had to be terrible then.
Why rush him? If they can hold him out of 8 games, it’s a RS year.
Not yet on the Zion train. Hopeful, but having seen him look so overmatched against P5s, not going overboard on 2 100 yd games vs G5s.
We just need to keep pounding the rock this year and set up more interesting qb challenge in offseason.

Don’t be that guy.
That's what I mean - unless he still is not 100%, he should play somewhere and in some capacity, even if it's not Quarterback. Even before this new age of injuries, I always thought that anyone that could have a positive impact on the game should play somehow even if they weren't starting, and that includes QB. Using your depth to throw a lot at the other team is a good thing, and when someone goes down with an injury, they aren't starting from scratch from sitting on the sidelines.
I had a similar injury many years ago and I was not fully recovered until about 18 months later, and back then I was told by my doctors that I was the exception to the rule.
