Andrew Rich is well ahead of Bills, but will Bills accept Rich as his mentor? Jordan Pendleton may be more athletic than Bills and has already spent a year in the Y's program and is not going on a mission. Bills also must learn to play the ball as a safety and not the receiver - something he struggled with at the high school level and that the college games is beginning to take away.
Bill's shined at the safety spot in part to another athletic safety next to him, a powerful and quick defensive line, as well as an athletic cover corner in Max Forrest.
I look forward to watching Bills contribute at BYU.
We're so tired of you and your complaining and whining.
Timpview should refuse to play your team until they become competitive.
Your post sounds a little bitter. For whatever reason, who knows. But apparently you felt the need to attempt to cut Bills down a few notches to satisfy some personal desire or vendetta.
No one EVER said that Bills doesn't have more to learn. He's a 17 year old high school football player for heaven's sake. And the question about will he accept the mentorship of Andrew Rich is absolutely hilarious. Who are you to make this assertion? Isn't Andrew Rich just coming into his own as a College Safety at BYU? And of course, Rich is further ahead of Bills as a College safety. Bills has NEVER played one down as a college safety. He's a high school safety. What a ridiculous coment. Perhaps, Bills already has a mentor in his Brother, KC.
Your thinly veiled attempt to denegrate Bills is pathetic. What's more, I probably know who you are and that's even more pathetic.
Lastly, every player on a team has another player (actually 11 on each side) who makes the other "Shine". Thanks for pointing that out. Here I thought that Bills was the ONLY player on the field all this time.
What? Is this a code name for a parent who is mad at one of his son's teammates for having received a post season award?
What a sad post. Bills will be just fine at the college level and, like all human beings, will be in a never ending process of learning how to perform at a higher level.
Your attempt to take away from what this young man has accomplished during his teen years as a football player is ridiculous and shameful.
By the way, I'm sure Bills was very happy to have other great players along side him during the last few years. Your post implies otherwise.
Of course, we all know you are a relative of one of the players you mentioned in your post. So we take your uninformed comment with a grain of salt and very lightly.
By the way, we didn't know that you were in the business of assigning mentors from the BYU football team to incomuing freshmen. You must be a very powerful figure and all-knowing to boot.
CONGRATulaTIONS!!! You are the MAN. The Bills family is a great football family. Kevan and Craig will be credits to BYU and will fit in with Bronco's system perfectly.
Uncle Bob & Aunt Carol(!!!)
