The irony is this: It wasn't really Beck's fault that BYU struggled during his Freshman, Sophomore and Junior years. In fact when this excuse was used...that Beck can't play every position and that the guy doesn't play defense...Yewt "fans" would freak out saying that was a lame excuse....but yet they've NO problem using the same excuse when it comes to why...even with Eric Weddle that their defense sucked hind titty last season and when Ratliff would go on one of his inaccuracy binges missing wide open receivers left and right and that Utah didn't have a good running game or running back they could rely on.
That's okay..these are the same Yewt "fans" calling Vakapuna overated and that Asiata is leaps and bounds better,,,, in spite of Fui scoring 11 touchdowns playing in roughly 6 games after just being home from his mission. 
It is true..irrational thought processes abound on both sides. |
You do have a point, but the quarterback is much more important to the functioning of the offense than is a safety to the functioning of the defense as a whole, methinks.
And no, Weddle obviously can't guard the whole field by himself. All 9 of the Ute players who dropped back in coverage couldn't cover more than one side of the field, after all.
