The bad thing is I have a feeling this will be a chronic problem for him. Sounds to me like he needs to rest it for many consecutive months or possible surgery. If there wasnt something majorly wrong with it, it would be healed by now. So I hope the backups are ready to step up.
High ankle sprains can take up to 7=8 months to heal. Depending on the severity of it. It is a very slow healing process with lots of thereapy/rehab. I had a rider out for a year with one. As many times as he has reinjured it, and the severity of that reinjury makes it hard to tell where he is in the healing process.
A very painful injury, that at times can feel fine and just moving it the wrong way brings a tremendous amount of pain.
I hope he fully recovers over the summer, but high ankle sprains can be aggravated very easily doing simple things as tripping over a crack, sliding on gravel, you get the idea. Hopefully they will put him on the shelf for awhile. But Idoubt it.

It's also fair to question if he's big enough to be a QB.

Or if he has hands big enough. I still believe that factored into some of his fumbles.

This is pretty much what I thought also. Cody Green and Brion Carnes better be ready.
Their is also alot of "I think" from Carl Pelini and Tim Beck regarding Taylor. Which is strange.

I've been one to question Taylor, but never his size. He is a good size kid. Ever seen Crouch?

Someone will be ready, IMO, and it has little to do with Beck or Watson, and everything to do with:
- Brion being off his redshirt
- Kody being another year removed from his freak injury
- Cody being a year older and a year wiser
Of course, say the #2 guy has injury problems. Then we'll still have problems next year.

Ganz was an undersized QB.
Taylor is not undersized for our system, which I think is the more important point. He is undersized in general so you might worry about seeing the field or tipped passes or whatever, but even in a pro-style system those are secondary concerns. I guess the point HuskerBill85 was getting at is, wondering if Taylor is going to be able to hold up to the punishment that he keeps taking. I think that may have more to do with learning to protect himself, than just his size.
